NRL Fantasy 2020 Part 1 - Offseason Edition

James, no thanks.

Little wary of forwards in any team with a new coach and trying to guess minutes/roles

I like Brimson but if the Titans are bad he might find it hard to do well. I know that he has a history of scoring well in a bad side already, but you just don't know.

Isaak vs Brimson is an interesting comparison. In isolation I would say Brimson is a far far better fantasy pick.. but if the Broncos can get it together, then Isaako could ride some big scores off the back of that.

I do think the Broncos will take 4 to 6 weeks to understand their new combos. Essentially a whole new spine.

Sims is the only other player who regularly plays 80. Frizzell hadn't been, merrin wont (if he starts at 13?).. so they have a lot of rotations to use on their other forwards

Can put Joey Leilua in place of Talau. Seems like it's a done deal.

Leilua will be on Nofo's side? Who was inside him last season, Marsters? Marsters only had 3 try assists all last season and Nofo still averaged 49.4 for the season. Amazing for a winger getting little quality ball.

If Leilua can strike up a combination with him, like he did with Rapana, watch out!

Any Tigers fans have thoughts on Brooks? Finished the season about as strong as D Fifita. Last 6 round scores between 56 and 95!

With Marsters gone, who gets the kicking for Tigers?

Seems he is priced at around a 39.9 average which is a bummer.

If he plays second row I’m not sure he can average 50 points a game there.

Haven't attempted to work out if that's true with 14500 magic number, but means Papenhuyzen might not be as cheap as we're expecting if his small-minute games don't count...
