NRL Fantasy 2021 Part 5 - There was no party.

Yeah looks great.

If Laurie is next to Brooks round 1, Brooks will get all the km. If it is Madden, far less.

Simkins and Simkin both look good. Commentators were predicting Utoikomanu to get Aloiais spot. If he gets anything close to those minutes (49 last season), he is a PPM beast. Even at 35 minutes I would have him in my team as a cow.

-Simpkin looked quite good in his stint, got out of dummy half quite often and broke a few tackles
-Talau doing fk all as usual. Had one good break but nothing happened from it
-One of the tigers wingers looks really promising - think his name is Fitzgibbon or something?
-Laurie isn't standing out too much, a few nice touches but rather quiet.
-Jock Madden looks a decent player with a good kicking game
-Ronald Volkman is killing it for the chooks - scored a chip and chase all by himself, no wonder other clubs and the Waratahs are interested
-Naufahu Whyte from the Chooks looks like he has some potential

Laurie now playing fullback, expecting him to look much better there

Volkman another try. 80m intercept whilst getting chased. Best on ground imo for sure, gun

I'm not expecting miracles. A lot have jumped on the band wagon, but he could still flop. The way Munster owned origin though I'd back him to step up more than Hughes.



I'd be happy with just some of Smith's kms, Grant's not a kicker as far as I'm aware. Happy for someone to correct me.

Grant has a few games he registered kick metres in. Nothing substantial but could develop that part of his game further this year.

Maybe the kick metres are going to be spread out and not make a huge difference but Munster is a fantastic player and I back him to step up and have a 50+ average which is good enough for me.

Any injuries?

I’m taking Blore out then. Damn it!

Yeah he is sporting a small cast on his left wrist. Definitely him no one else.

Madden looks lively, chunky, good defence
Simpkins is a tacklebot
Liddle played with light strapping hammy to knee, moved freely
Volkman mini tank, future hooker, can kick goals

Gees, Fafita looks like he’s lost some wait and I think Latrell’s found it!

Madden should be 6 in round 1. Did he kick goals?

Hahahah was gonna say the same thing. That jersey isn't doing Trell too many favours sheesh

Yeah I'm pretty sure he did kick some

Yep

Riki vs D Fifita could be an interesting little battle

I hope Packer has a big night, can’t see him seeing many to start the season.

New man crush at the tigers. Tuki Simpkins

How good is no scrums. Game changer.

He was our first player swap this year (from the Cows). He should be Blore’s replacement.
