NRL Fantasy 2021 Part 5 - There was no party.

Trbojevic out has given me a pathway to spending all my coin (0k remaining)

McCullogh
Ah Mau Twal Watson
Matterson Fifita
Milford Lam
Peachey Bird
Doueihi Tedesco Mitchell

Murdoch-Masillia, Davey, Riki, Liddle

Croker, Averillo, Niu, Simpkins

Unlike most, I have decided to go weak in the halves due to the cows who have the potential to make coin. I think Latrell is in for a busier year and Niu will replace Doueihi for R1.

The one pathway to upgrading HLF that I can see is if Capewell starts for the Panthers

Struggling to see where you have spent your cap TBH. Gone weak at hooker, middle, half, bench, NPR but the backs aren't that impressive to compensate.

I think this team is the definition of a dirty-middies AA meeting.
Lot's of potential for cash generation, but you'd have to wonder who is going to screw up first.

On another note:
By replacing Turbo in my WFB 3rd position with Hoy, I agree it's taking a risk that Ponga will return early, I can shift Grant to Cook and end up with all of Cook / Angus / DFifi/ Cleary / Teddy in my team.
And still retain $187k ITB ??
How is this possible.

Personally I've never liked starting the year with 0k or close to it in the bank. There's always some dud pick you make or gets injured and it's easier to jump on somebody you missed if you have a bit of spare cash on hand.

Some people take a different approach and believe money unspent is money wasted but personally I like to always have some leftover to start.

Would love to see your team, I can fit the same gun players minus Angus.

Des - "We do have people like Reuben [Garrick] and Morgan Harper who have been running in that position constantly. At some point we were going to need cover for Tommy with Origin coming around anyway.

Hey lads, hope everyone’s 2021 is off to a flyer

Put together my first draft last night, had Turbo in it so immediate changes.

This is what I’ve got

D.Fifita Kikau
A.Reynolds Milford
Hopoate Averillo
Tedesco Latrell Moylan

Lots of Bunnies, wouldn’t mind squeezing Walker in somehow too lol

Haha, knew it.

thoughts on where to spend my 110k in the bank?

Current side is

Grant
Crichton, Watson, Ah Mau
Fifita, Davey
Cleary, Munster
Bird, Averillo
Isaako, Papy, Hopoate

Brailey, Lam, Riki, Liddle

Hola, Niu, Simonsson, Laurie

Currently got Cleary, Angus, JFH, DFifita, Munster, Tedesco & Brimson. Reasonably happy with the rest of the side too - biggest concern is leaving out some popular cash cows.

just read DT article about the harsh Norman punishment (personally don't think he should be punished for this incident)

and at the end just sprinkled in there

"The Dragons are also yet to decide on who will wear the No.13 jersey given the season-ending injury to Cameron McInnes.

Griffin nominated Tariq Sims, Jackson Ford and Tyrell Fuimaono as options."

Bird to Kelly or upgrade Ah Mau to koloamatangi/ford etc

Probably do Laurie to Simpkins, get the feeling they are going to share the hooking role 40 mins each. Won't play Liddle in 17.

They could try Schuster at the back? I don't know enough about him tbh so no idea if it's a possibility

Schuster is over 105kg now he’s bulking up!

Would love it if Ford got the 13 jersey.

Is your thoughts on Bird assuming he's starting at centre? I think he's just as good as Kelly if he's there while being 90k cheaper and more highly owned (so if he fails everyone fails with me)

Ah Mau is somewhat of a placeholder, just want to see who gets named on TLT. if he gets a starting spot, I will definitely take him and save the money, otherwise I'll upgrade to Koala/Lodge/someone else.

Didn't realise that it was going to be that even for Tigers hooker, I would've thought Liddle will get 55-60 mins and Simpkin 20-25

I feel he will take a bit of time to get the confidence back and will only average around 30 (for a good part of the season). See Marsters as better value if he starts and you only want to spend that much.
Bird said it himself that he was nervous and he is no-way near the same player as he was before injury. Will take some time.
