NRL Fantasy 2021 - Part 9 - ‘Twas the weekend before TLT

if kerr stays on the edge then its either famasulli starting or alvaro both an option for 18-21 depending on who starts

One name I haven’t seen mentioned is Paul Vaughan.

2020 avg - 56 (50+ mins) Priced at 51

No James Graham. As well as Frizell and McInnes who were 80min players.
Rumours of Clune on bench to spell McCullough (Hunt moving to hooker?) meaning more mins for the forwards.

No doubt is the senior member of the pack and will be expected to carry most of the work load. Dosen’t have alot of attacking stats in his armoury but a increase in mins could get him up to the top tier level.

Thoughts?

Think id be more interested in which one of the cheapies benefit the most eg Alvaro or Famasulli

Is it a bad thing if in my current draft I own like nearly all of the top 15 most owned players right now?

I've been POD obsessed in the past but this year I've gone the opposite and I honestly wonder if it's a bad thing or not.

NZ cruising to a win in the cricket. Need 5 runs an over with 10 wickets in hand. Guptill on fire!

Picking two players from the same team isn’t against the rules.

Obviously one of those guys are gonna be in your 14-21, I’m talking about a Sub Mid Gun Mattnz Type Shit

There are minutes available. Not sure Vaughan will get a significant increase. Would prefer a guy like Paulo who has come back fitter and that the coach has already said will play big minutes

Lucy wasn't really unfit last year was he??

Only had 1 game below 60 mins with rest 74 or above, so you're really relying on more attacking stats??

Still think him & Frizell are a rung below Fifita/Crichton/Matterson

Luciano's one low minute game was an HIA (against Penrith, and Joey Leilua got the red mist seeing his brother go off and tried to get himself sent off a couple of times afterwards)

I remember that game... got to love your brother having your back

How many mins do Broncos fans think Turpin will get?

Tino is owned by 36percent of coaches it’s insane.

Maybe I should go with him as if he goes well my rank could suffer and if he flops at least I’m with the crowd!

Bring on the World Test Championship. Tune-up England at home first.

Kinda looks like we have no choice

Probably see J'maine Hopgood get a run ahead of sorensen, i reckon Hopgood will get some bench time this year

Another young Penrith forward that passes the eye test. Having blokes like that continuously coming through really helps manage the salary cap being able to rotate good youngsters on rookie contracts rather than established first graders on 3 times the wages

What's the story with crowds this year?

This will be my first year starting with Teddy and I think most here should.

- Teddy is the only out-and-out gun in WFB to start the season. Imho, there are scant cheap WFBs to throw in the back to get through the early season
- If you don't get him quite early, i.e. before week 7, it's difficult to make the most of the trades and get some scores out of him before Origin
- Imho, I don't see how people could get him in without wrecking team balance, until after Origin. By then he would still be the highest scoring WFB and you have missed out on all his points. He was his cheapest last year through the middle, 3rd quarter, he still netted bigger scores.
- Personally, I wanna focus my trades in other positions other than WFB

Not sure on the Lucy love. Looked good in the trial running at a rookie half that is probably 2-3 years away from first grade. Think you get what you pay for with him

For R1
QLD & ACT 100% capacity
NSW 75% capacity
Victoria 50% capacity

Have you got Tino mate?

Nope because I don't pay any attention to ownership percentages and just pick the players I think will score the most points.

I don't think the Titans will be as good as everyone suggests and believe Tino is pretty appropriately priced
