NRL Fantasy 2019 Part 85

Potentially future Australian captain ........

I think the Warriors probably feel Nikorima is enough of a gift from the Broncos

If the Broncos really want to be so kind hearted then give Haas back to the Warriors. After all it's only ethical & proper since Haas was originally on the Warriors books when he was at school on the Gold Coast & the Broncos came in with their dirty money & stole him

if anyone wants a fantasy 9s team, but didn't want the draft just go here and pick 9 players for a little comp

tries only

NAS suspended for 3 games, but they all count for NZ's end of season tests so will be right for R1

Last call for the spare ticket to the 9's tomorrow.

Join some local celebs for some drinks and footy

Won't make kick off, but can get there early afternoon

Doesn’t sound too promising re Sam.

Also just like to congratulate Chris Lawrence on going around again in 2020.

Hey guys,

I was thinking of possibly creating a youtube channel and uploading a couple videos per week with NRL Fantasy content.

I was wondering how many people would watch NRL Fantasy videos every week?
My initial thoughts were around 5000 people per video but I might be wrong.

Any thoughts would be much appreciated

I’d watch for sure man, just don’t like it when it says on things you must subscribe etc.......

I haven’t been on here much lately, I’m still not fully over the Bunnies prelim loss yet and the fact I’ve seen Sutto play for the last time.

Oi mate where do you think Matterson is going?.....

Thanks, I'll see if there is enough interest and make a decision in the next month or so.

For everything with Matterson, Wests Tigers Forum is up-to-date
https://weststigersforum.com/topic/30183/matterson-unhappy-at-tigers/2649?page=177

From what I can gather (and I might be wrong) he has met with Panthers, Eels, Rabbitohs, Titans, Dragons. I think Rabbitohs and Eels MIGHT be in the box seat at the moment. I know for certain that Tigers will not release Matterson unless a favourable outcome is achieved (e.g. player swap, compensation etc.)
The more clubs fighting for Matterson, the better it is for Tigers.

There have been rumours on Souths forums that we could offer you guys Corey Allan as a player swap for Gagai, but I can’t see Gagai happening as Gagai is on 650-700k and no way you guys have enough for him imo to close to that figure.

Sure gonna be an interesting off season player movement wise as usual, the calm before the storm right now.

I also on another note read today Easts are close to re-signing Joseph Manu.

Rumours re Holmes possibly returning to NRL in 2020 too.

We are not too bad for backs right now with Momirovski, Mbye, Talau, Nofoaluma, Jennings (does he even count), Thompson and possibly the addition of Lomax, Brimson, Hiroti as well as a few other promising young backs coming through our juniors.

Tigers need forwards right now.
I doubt we would be able to get Murray, but he would be the ideal candidate. However, somebody like Liam Knight or Jayden Su'a might be good from Souths.

I think I read somewhere before where Holmes said he would only be retuning to either Sharks, Broncos or Cowboys

Murray will be a Bunny for life I reckon, he’s our future Captain.

Souths are already short on back rowers and a prop for next season I can’t see us letting either of Knight or Su’a go.

We have more than enough backs and halves currently in our squad, forwards looking weak we lost Sutto, George, Turner, Britt and possibly Sam. (I probs forgot someone in that lot too) We haven’t really signed anyone yet either for our pack.

Pretty poor form by Souths not getting him the work he needs because it's overseas, would count against their cap and Wayne doesn't think he's worth the coin he's on before you start paying extras. Instead medically retire him against his will. Every cent should count towards the cap if they pay him out.

Yeah I would watch for sure. You have very good knowledge of fantasty.

Val Holmes is set to meet with Paul Green in America overnight and has apparently already agreed to a contract worth around $1m a year in principle.

I know he was a gun before he left but the timing just seems so wrong now they have Drinkwater & Clifford established. They either play Holmes at FB and have to drop one of Drinkwater/Clifford and I'm sure clubs would pick them up or play Holmes at wing, which makes the most sense for team structure because left wing is their weakest position, but then pay a winger extortionate money that could be used better elsewhere

Seems quite weird to be honest

I agree. I think Holmes is a much better fullback than he is winger though. I think Drinkwater would actually make a formidable 5/8th; however, this is currently occupied by Clifford/Morgan.
Current team I believe would be.

1 Holmes
2 Feldt
3 Marsters
4 O’neil
5 Tualagi/Drinkwater??
6 Morgan
7 Clifford
8 McGuire
9 Granville
10 McLean
11 Cooper
12 Hess/Wright/Dunn
13 Taumalolo
14 Robson
15 Molo
16 Wright/Dunn
17 Jensen/Hola??

I personally would have Drinkwater FB and Holmes Wing but surely he doesnt agree to come back on the wing.
