NRL Fantasy 2020 Part 7

Surely Flegler and/or Carrigan not Haas benefit most from the Lodge injury?

No idea re 2rf, but the most recent info from Toohey a couple weeks ago was that Shibasaki will likely win right centre.

If Shibshow gets a start at right centre, I'll get him in. Even though I've never liked the Broncs, when I saw him play I thought he played strong, was quite pleased when I read that O'Brien had snagged him.

Put your details in here bro that will put you in an official league. Leagues will be up and running about 2 weeks out from the season starting, sorted by rank from last season. There's always a few extra leagues around too.

Re Warriors;
Is Sam Curran an edge or a middle?
Could Milne snag that 2rf spot if papalii moves to the middle rotation? I feel Blair is a little bit of a waste there. Also why would they move fisi from the wing? He is the best under crossfield kicks

That's what this guy was thinking.

So with the Bunty acl situation I've had to make a couple of tweaks.

Its so very fucked. Fkn coward. Taking your own life bad enough, to take 3 innocent kids with you, horrifying

Certain media trying to increase clicks by calling him an "NRL player" is disgusting too.

It happened outside my friends house. She was the first call to 000, saw it all, couldnt do shit. Messed up

Yep, it's not common anymore to call a spade a spade but 100% agree with you. Reading between the lines it sounds like another guy getting mucked around by the family court, but how in a billion years that could translate to doing this to your own children... no way to ever justify or forgive that. What a piece of shit. Such a sad, sad story.

And yeah, the "NRL" connection really irritated me too. In the very same article I read it actually mentioned he never played NRL but played a trial for the NZ Warriors once. Yet that's apparently enough to call him an ex-NRL player? So pathetic from these news outlets...

I really need a decent base price option to open up somewhere

Can someone please get pissed up in the city or something

Can scrub packer off the tigers forward depth chart.

Cheers and done.

With the Lodge injury, would it be ok to have Haas, Fifita and Carrigan in the same team?

Thats my plan, especially if Offa is out of favour

Carrigan seems like the perfect Lodge replacement (minus the roid-rage). No frills hard nut who gets through his tackles and run metres. Looks like he may sleeve back into the Bludgers after all.

I have all 3 right now. Assuming obviously Carrigan gets the nod for the starting spot

J. Bird is coming off a 2019 acl injury & if he plays f/b that will really test the knee with all the running required. I can see him getting injured again. Also don't the docs say the knee isn't right until the following year.

Hahaha! Without a try in that 60 point haul too! Average of just under 30 from his other 3 games however. Still I am tempted.

Yeah starting fullback priced at 23 you would be mad to not jump on haha, going off last years stats alone he could easily get a base of 20ish and he would only improve as he played more often (also you'd expect some more attacking stats in an improved Panthers outfit in 2020) Consider me on the bandwagon and ready to have my heart broken on TLT

Ofahengaue and Carrigan imo

What are you guys expecting Carrigan's role to be roughly given the Lodge news? Starting lock, 40-50 mins or so?

I fully expect him to get injured, sadly. But at this point in time, he is in my centres and if he's named at fullback on TLT I think he'll stay in my squad. Without injury he'd be a set and forget centre surely, but yeah, I agree that an injury is inevitable.

And his haircut and mo are going to be hard to look at and cheer on each week too.
