NRL Fantasy 2020 Part 3

are people starting with Mann also considering handcuffing him to Crossland ? If Mann doesn't work out and Watson stays on the bench, Crossland should be next in line !

He is gonna be getting 30 minutes off the bench in Origin. I don't see it impacting his club minutes at all

Do you expect that after origin 1 he jumps straight on a plane in Adelaide and flys to New Zealand to play against the Warriors less than 48 hours later. It's possible, but a fair chance Haas misses round 12, 13, 16. I'm looking at starting with Haas purely because I don't trust the captain options outside of Cook, Smith and McInnes who I can't fit in with all the other hookers. Fair chance I sell him over origin though.

I'd rather burn a trade than a position in the team. Handcuffing works in fantasy sports where only one person can own the player(like draft)

Too early to speculate on if he will be a trade out or not. Will come down to squad depth, break even, fatigue and also Broncos ladder position. If they are fighting for top 8 they can't afford to rest him

I feel sorry for anyone who doesn't get Haas before round 1. I couldn't imagine sitting infront of the TV watching him run 230m breaking 5+ tackles and making 30+ tackles. Should be in everyone's team despite the price tag

Cook or McInnes
Haas + 300-400 FRF
3 x 400-500 2RF (most options have been posted)
Moses + Doueihi (cant afford Croft at this point)
Lomax + Best
Pap + Isaako + Brimson

Friend + Koro + Brailey + Grant
Luai + 3 x 250

A bit exposed at 2RF, hopefully can score heavy enough anyway. Hmmm

Looks familiar Captain Isaako I assume?
Why the Doueihi pick?

I've got Mann at 18 in my draft, if Crossland takes his place it will be an easy swap. It sounds like Mann is more likely to start.

Who are you seeing as 300-400k FRF; Tetevano, Mikaele or a bench FRF. Not many options there

Musgrove "training the house down"

Friend will get more minutes than Brailey this season, you are forgetting that Watson will steal minutes from him.

Thought Watson would be playing more of a lock role this season?

Molo at 375k.

Anyone know why Taukeiaho's minutes dropped of toward the end of last year? also why is price is so high after a shocker end of the year?

Chances of Ese'see starting at Lock? Watson 14, covers the backline and can give Brailey a rest and spend some time at lock?

I think the cause and effect is more when Ponga was in the right position, on fire and not playing injured, Knights were winning, not the other way around.

Are you J. Hayne??

Others have said he is locked in for the 14 jumper.

Hey everyone keen to start 2020 fantasy season. Had a shitty finish last year but hoping to bounce back this time around.
Heres my first attempt

Kori
Haas (c) Ese'ese (assuming he starts)
L. Leilua Williams D.Fifita
Moses Brimson
Lomax Milne (assuming he starts)
Trbojevic Papy Sailor

B.Brailey
Su'a
Molo
Faas

Luai
Grant
Magoulious
Talau

Don't feel like a gun Hooker is needed this year with so many quality middys.

Any thoughts on how I can improve my team? Have 50k imb

Smith (c)
Merrin, Mofo
D.Fifita, Su'a, J.Williams
JMK, Keary
Lomax, Best
Holmes, Isaako, Brimson

Koro, B.Brailey, Stimson, Olam
Grant, Magoulias, Luai, Musgrove

Yep will come on and play mainly as a ball playing lock, but also spend some time at hooker. I think they see Brailey as an 80 player eventually.

Watson will play a roving look forward role. May take some minutes from brailey but I’d expect it to be a short spell close to half time

Brailey is also in a boot atm with a plantar fascia injury

Tau Moga pulled his hammy recently too. I’m considering him if he gets fit and looking good by trials

For @Chewie crossland is still a fair way down the pecking order and has had a disrupted preseason so I wouldn’t bother

Thanks for the brimson Isaako chat lads

I’m also scared of watching haas as a likely non owner. Hoping Taumalolo can act as a decent substitute to start the season
