NRL Fantasy 2021 - Part 11 - Hookers as far as I can see

Simple question: Welch or Turpin?

Definitely think Turpin has the most upside

One of the last things I'm deciding on too. Thinking Turpin.

Turpin for sure. Almost guaranteed 80 with that bench...

Yeah I member!!

Remember, DCE or Arey first season? available at like $88,000

A-rey 88k was my first season 2012. I also traded in Neccrom Areaiiti after he played one game off the bench and he never played rugby league again. 

I joined sportal a week later and learnt to check the team lists

just thought it was interesting with griffin re creating his broncos u20s team with hunt Norman and McCullough but also Tariq sims and Alvaro was in the broncos system when hook was there as well

Surely this info will totally impact his fantasy opportunity righttttt

Really warming to Capewell now. His scores from 2020 are really promising sheesh

I honestly can't remember when I first played fantasy (dream team back in the day) - but guys like Ciraldo, Hilder and Campese were among the guns you wanted.

I just ditched Lam for Moses. Lam has a history of playing long minutes with mediocre scores and is not a known kicker. 45-48 is a little generous

The groupthink on here about Moses is a little unwise. He played nursing an injury from the middle of last year and despite the change in sides, there is little chance Brown impacts his long kicking game. Because of the injury, Moses is a little undervalued. The reason for the shift appears to be about defence rather than attack, with Brown being the better defender. The shift in sides should help with that. I predict him to go close to plugging to the gap between Cleary & Cherry-Evans

Where are Lams mediocre scores in high minutes? Pros with Lam are share of KM potentially even dominating them, good defence and busy player and playing in one of best sides in comp

Don't think its unfair to expect as base

20 tackles
250KM
60 RM

Pretty much Flanno without the GK

The allure of Milf is getting me...

Took out Host/Bird to get in Milf/Croker but only $15k bank

Turpin
Tino Lodge Watson
Crichton Fifita
Cleary Lam
Roberts Averillo
Teddy Papi Laurie

Milf Brailey Riki Liddle
Croker Niu Moylan Utoikamanu/Simonsson

New Team got Harris, Crichton, Fifita in the side but Tino is out and I've 143k left

Brailey
Crichton Watson Lodge
Fifita Riki
Cleary Lam
Averillo Roberts
Papy RTS Laurie

Harris Turpin Host Liddle

Leniu Stefano Simonsson Niu

I reckon those are pretty accurate. Add to that a few tackle busts and what not because his biggest strength is running the footy and that's what he's in the team to do.

Luke Walsh too. Never seen someone so greedy with km

I mean if you whacked Host in EMG instead of Croker and Welch > Tino we'd have identical teams

I think the verdict is not in on his kicking output yet R13 last year is a big outlier, as is the game he played at HOK. Without those scores, I don't think he would be nearly as attractive. Played 80 for 34, which is what he is priced at. Does not have a history of having a long kicking game. There is some value there, just not enough to make him a certain pick and I can see Moses entering strong keeper territory again. GK points for the Roosters are significant. Even with what you have estimated that is only 38 points (not accounting for any demerits)

Yeah lot of teams looking similar. Just with Host not sure how Arrow will impact him or if Koloa improves further. Though he is a great price.

Croker is a starting hooker at 300k which should be obvious but could change at anytime. Could be worth the risk.

And Milf.... surely he goes better? Maybe not 50.. but a 40-45 average would be good at his price point too.

I've just come to the realisation that Leinu will probs get 30 mins easily this year with that bench penrith have.
