NRL Fantasy 2020 Part 6

Instead I'll give the advice that making any fantasy decisions from a preseason tournament in what is essentially a different sport is a terrible idea.

My team of the tournament aka must haves

1. Scott Drinkwater
2. Cody Ramsey
3. Tex Hoy
4. Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow
5. Mitchell Moses
6. Tyrone Peachey
7. Villiame Kikau
8. Kurt Gidley
9. David Gower

Honorable mentions:
Hess, Metcalf, Whitbread, Arrow, Cleary

I think you'll find he is a has-been in the NRL. Crueled by a rolled ankle that kept him out of training for two days, Broncos are trying to offload him to Catalans at the moment but Catalans wont take an injury riddled plodder

He fumbled a ball over the boundary which you would have expected him to save, therefore, he's out of my team.

1. Referees blunders are still very much going to be changing the results of games (and sometimes entire tournaments) in 2020

2. Thanks to a Sims broken arm, Host or Lawrie is about to get a blockbuster sequel: Host or Lawrie 2: Judgement Day

3. Every member of the forum claims they had been quietly sitting on Drinkwater and is now upset that every other member of the forum who also has claimed to have always had Drinkwater is now going to bring in Drinkwater (btw guys, Drinkwater had been in my team since day dot...)

4. Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow is a development player and cannot be in your fantasy team (just to stop the hundred people inevitably asking when their new $228k starting WFB that will leave them the cap space to buy Haas is)

5. Haas didn't break a single tackle. And if he can't break a tackle in the Nines then he certainly won't in the 13-man game. And if he can't break tackles, he can't score well in Fantasy. Everyone should immediately take him out of your teams and never look back on the decision no matter what he does in the other trials.

6. The Nines is an absolute Micky Mouse competition. The Rabbitoh's only accolade was beating the very worst team in the Nines comp and yet made the finals whilst the Sharks, Sea Eagles and Tigers missed out despite being far better teams; Dragon's women win 1/3 games, make the GF because somehow the others did even worse, but get up against the Broncos chasing their 4th straight win.

Maybe he's just far away.

There was some not very quietly sitting on him though. I wonder if anyone took Rabbit up on the odds he was offering.

Whether loud or quiet about it, I am sure that nobody had mentioned hide nor hair of him before this tournament. Suddenly he was everyone’s secret pick on the downlow. We are all geniuses here,  no doubt about it

Not having Grant has forced my to tone down the gun backs a bit and put a bit more into 2RF, especially as I assumed Su'A would be playing big minutes. I hope I am not the one who makes going for value a stupid decision Question Still going Smith/Friend (C, VC) Koroisau made his way back in. He does have quite a lot of value with no other recognised HOK in the team really. Hard to knock him back

Smith
Carrigan Mikaele
Aubusson Williams Graham
Williams Drinkwater
Burns Bird
Edwards Hughes Papenhuyzen

Friend Koroisau Nicholls Luai

Magoulias Musgrove Utoikamanu Kolaomatangi

Sweet and sour news for @NRL_Dragons. Ramsey is a future star with most tries and named in team of the tournament yet McInnes (knee), Sims (arm) and Dufty (cheekbone) all in doubt for round one. @telegraph_sport
