NRL Fantasy 2020 Part 3

RFM out 8-10 weeks after surgery for syndesmosis injury. Wouldn't hurt Stimson's chances of a start.

More seriously on Tigers forwards. I would expect the edge forwards (whoever they are) to play big minutes and most of the interchanges to be used on middle forwards.

I have zero inside knowledge though, so you're really just asking some random to pull something out of their arse

I based my assumption on how Madge used his edge forwards last year, not on how Leilua went at St George.

Tigers edges both played 80 more often than not, whether it was Garner. Matterson, MCK, McQueen or whoever

Also I think Teddy is gonna drop quite a bit of money, I can’t see him keeping up his 60 point average.

Where's that "big calls" thread again?

Anyone having a party this year?

Priced at 33, averages 42 as a starting 2nd row (which he'll presumably at least start with)

Not Cartwright lol, no bloody way!

Filled out my first draft and pretty happy as a starting point. Bonus that it also leaves 69k ITB.

Is Carty presumably starting????

Koro, B.Brailey, Stimson, Magoulias,

Luai, Musgrove, Grant, 228k

$17K remaining. I'd like to have a bit more salary to work work with for the season but I'm not too sure who to downgrade, thoughts?

No idea, I assumed that’s who he was talking about!

Would have to be if your having a party, although his starting 2rf avg from mtb's site is 45.....

Oh wait, 42 at the Titans

I thought the general consensus was that James would play on an edge.. although I guess weve seen nothing concrete on that.

Edit: there is an article on nrl.com from earlier today discussing the signing of beau fermor, it suggests he, sam stone, and darius farmer will be aiming to put pressure on proctor and cartwrights edge positions..... doesnt mention James.. (of course, journo may have no idea either)

I’m glad to see someone else picked Bunty

I would leave the cash as is. You do want some wiggle room but dont want overly much. Realistically 1 mid ranger and 1 cashcow will be the wrong choice and require trading after Round 1 so you will be fine. Not sure how I feel about JMK pic.

No Haas is a big call, Crichton had such a down year last year. Why does he bounce back? Cleary and Trbojevic are decent shouts.

So you can blame them when your team hits the 10k mark?

Not gonna lie, it took me a while to work out who the fuck Lucy was.

I reckon his minutes could be lower based on fitness and should increase as the season goes on.

I'm not up on everything yet but who is Taulu I see appearing in a lot of teams now?

Tommy Talau. Wests Tigers centre. Highly rated but unlikely to start the year in first grade

He's only started in the 2nd row 9 games in the past 2 years, but he has played an average of 75 minutes in those games. Where are the fitness concerns coming from?
