NRL Fantasy 2021 - Part 10 - ‘Lets get ready to rumble !!

Is this a one week only appearance for Laurie?

Do we still think Tino moves into MID later in the game. Maybe the Peachey at CTR game is up? or is it possible they will both play for about 55 minutes?

With Clark and Rein sharing minutes in one position, there is heaps of room for minutes for the Peach I reckon? but maybe less in MID. Who is more likey to go there Tino or Peach

Mostly happy with my team, but I've shuffled my middles around to get Turpin in. Got 500k left to spend on a middle, who would you go for?

The only thing I can think is that Talau doesn't offer much at 14, maybe just filling in for Mbye (or Laurie drops to the utility role next week, which is worst case).

Maguire doesn't seem like the type to rearrange the deck chairs for the sake of 1 week, as some-one that has no knowledge of what the Tigers have looked like this off-season, surely the logic that lends to the least interruption is the correct one?

I don't mind that Tigers 13. Bench is kinda WTF, but might change come Sunday. Packer out for Simpkins sounds ideal. He'll rule himself out sooner rather than later anyway.

Sharks just running it back again by the looks of it.

7th might be a reach. Somewhere 8th-10th for the pair as usual I guess.

Brailey, Liddle, Turpin, even Croker are all better value than Egan

Not really Fantasy relevant, but really surprised to see Sami and A.Fifita miss the cuts completely.

No other massive surprises that change most of what had been assumed but a few little niggles in the mind;

Is Laurie worth the punt or does Mbye just go to FB next week and dismiss him?

What is Keighran doing on the bench? Does that make Lam not worth the considerable risk?

How secure is Dylan Walker's time at FB?

Is B.Smith worth the punt? Can't figure this one out.

Does Jacob Host retain this spot, or will Liam Knight's return mix things up... or even before that is it just a no-go?

When Cust returns is he first choice hooker, or will he at least make too big a dent into Croker's minutes to make him worthwhile?

Is that assuming Croker plays 80 each week even when Cust returns? I'm leaning towards Egan, even with Tevaga at 14. Don't know if that's wise or not.

How long will Fuimaono play lock for (in terms of how many rounds, not how many minutes each week)

Value or trap? He might be the good old low minute lock.

First instinct is not to trust him

Surely he swaps with Kerr come kick off. You don't play a middle on the edge and an edge in the middle

Found a 0k team that I'm pretty happy with. Any obvious flaws?

Turpin
Tino Lodge Watson
Fifita Riki
(C)leary Lam
Roberts Averillo
Teddy Pap Hopoate

Crichton Brailey Host Liddle

Moylan Niu Stefano Simonsson

Fifita must have a niggle, news would be nice

My opinion is that next week we'll see Doueihi to 6, Mbye to 14 and Laurie retain the 1

The fact that they have Talau as utility over Simpkin this week makes me think going forward it will be Mbye

Could always be wrong, but I'll happily start with Laurie this season.

Would love to hear feedback on peoples 4 man emergencies. Have got Crocker, Nui and Stefano atm. Can't decide on a 4th.

Same thoughts on the situation

I know he's not setting the world on fire in terms of actual talent, but the Warriors don't have anything better at the position and i don't think a 46 avg when >60 minutes should be dismissed so easily.

That is my thoughts Laurie is locked in.
