NRL Fantasy 2020 Part 5

I know he bullshits the media all the time with signings/etc, but week to week team news he was/is generally pretty upfront isnt he ? I cant really remember now.

I guess a few selections have come out of nowhere in the past, eg when Moga started for us in rnd 1 a few years back, literally no one had that info until it was in TLT

Walters/Grant, Brailey, JMK, Mann

Luai, Curran, Magoulias, Kolo

Everything here checks out. Might need to rejig if neither Walters or Grant see TLT because bottom priced players worthy of 1-17 are a massive hole to fill. Also you have a centre Best playing WFB whilst your fullback Lomax plays centre- i would swap them around so they don’t get confused on game day, I’m sure it will net you more points like that

So Grant isn’t likely to happen and Tommy Talau is injured and likely not to be ready for round 1, bugger that’s not the news I was hoping for.

Cam Murray playing more minutes between edge and middle though could be very good for fantasy.

I honestly hadn’t looked at him yet, but I’ll guess his price is around 750k.

I’m just gonna check now!

Murray on an edge as I said for some of the game makes Lowe and Su’a less fantasy relevant too.

If there is truth to the latest news, you dont want Sua in the team.

I feel sorry for Grant if the trade falls through - don’t really care from a fantasy perspective because everyone was going to have him, so no real advantage, but it seems like he had an opportunity and now he’s relying on a footy-bot in Smith to break which never happens.

Is Verrills going to the WCC?

Verrills is playing in the nines but some were suggesting he could still link up later

So 801k for Murray. If he is gonna play 80mins then you sure have to consider him.

Hey BB. After this knight news bring him in for Fotu. Su'a will start on bench with Murray 2fr so get rid. I don't like Mann in your reserves I'd rather have a forward. Mann too expensive for npr's so either get rid of play him in the halves & get rid of Croft. I see you don't have Friend. With Verrills named in the nines he could miss the WCC although some have said he could link up later. Monitor JMK because I was reading a Bulldogs forum yesterday & some guy reckoned he might miss round 1.

Apparently Crichton in a moon boot (some are saying its on his gfs instagram).

May not be good news for working out if he or aubbs have the jump for the edge spot at the WCC

For me it's either Taumalolo or Murray it's impossible to have both. If Murray does play 65+ mins he'll probably match Taumalolo's points & he's 73k cheaper.

I recall a similar situation where we all got excited about Lolo playing 80 minutes across 2RF and Lock, but it didnt eventuate.

Tom Amone could be a slow burn with the above news in mind.

Yes could be the big winner to get 35 minutes and 30 point average.

Take what Wayne says with a grain of salt but don't like the sound of Murray on an edge.

Doesn't just about every player get seen in a moon boot at some point during the season these days.

By itself I don't think it means anything

Updated draft with the new Murray/Knight news:

Friend

Haas (C), Knight

Murray, L Leilua (assuming he starts), Williams

Moses, Mann

Best, Lomax

Papi, Brimson, Isaako

Api, B brailz, Stimson, Grant

Luai, 228k x 3

Not too bad but both Walters and Grant wont play and you have Best in your seventeen, without any cover on the bench for CTR or WFB. That is remarkably risky.

He won’t be spending 80 minutes on the edge. If that’s the plan then I’m sure a whole lot of coaches in the league are happy with that

Talau isn't injured. In the 9s squad.
