NRL Fantasy 2020 Part 7

I do not have any Raiders, Roosters or Sea Eagles in my side at present. Not sure that is a bad thing as Raiders and Roosters made GF, and Sea Eagles overachieved last year.
There must not be much value on offer within these teams.

Raiders: Tapine, Williams
Roosters: Aubo, Who knows
Sea Eagles: Not sure

Its trivial for two low profile players but opens up all sorts of loopholes that will no doubt be exploited by savvy clubs if this was allowed.

Definitely. There's all sorts of ways that teams work the current system lol third party deals anyone?

I'm wondering though, could Tigers pay the remaining portion of his salary? You see it with other players when they're released early, teams paying a portion of their salary. Too much thinking for me though this early in the day haha

They have included Remi Casty starting at prop to never be seen again, Kane Evans starting at prop, putting up a huge PPM and slowly having his minutes/points drop once the season started and even last year Brett Morris at centre before spending the entire season on the wing

From a football perspective, Crichton would be damaging offensively but would leave a lot to be desired with his lateral movement in defense.

From a fantasy perspective it would make Aubbo a serious option in centres and would make Crichton a DPP option for the back end of the year

I dont mean to sound obtuse although i feel people just blurt out that lateral movement shpiel prematurely or on any forward transitioning to the centres.... This kid is pretty damaging and dynamic and i feel its hard to throw him in the same boat as say an overweight Hess. He has played league in the second row (also stints in the middle last year off the bench) but the guy is a freak and came from union playing in the centres. I know the two sports have their differences but playing in the backs in union you tend to learn how to move laterally on defense.

Nb i would jump on Aubs if he played 2rf so im sorta hoping he smashes it at centre of indeed he plays there after being named there.

Also Murray played centre in union and filled in at Centre last year faultlessly...

I feel like Friend is one of the players that offers the most potential value in the game being priced at 42, regardless of the eventual circumstances with Verrills. Should still be able to hit 50 average regardless

Having team coverage doesn't really mean anything. I had no Storm players last year until I got Munster in R10 and it was probably one of my worse trades in terms of the dominoes it caused in the backend of the year and just after Origin instead of getting Milford/Moses even though he had some high scores

Depends which side he's playing on. If he's on the right you've got a guy who's not familiar with the position next to a guy who's not familiar with the team (Flanagan) and that could lead to trouble. On the left next to Cordner he'll be ok, although on the flip-side he won't see much of the ball.

Friend is value.

SST could be marginal value although there are better bets at 570-580k.

Flanagan might gun it, but is a gamble.

Aubusson is tempting as a set-and-forget centre at second row, except Aubusson is NEVER set-and-forget, more set-and-make sure you're tuned in an hour before kickoff and have another playable centre in your EMGs.

Said before that I like Ryan Hall IF he starts.

Ted is Ted and I don't understand why the highest-scoring back in the game isn't in more teams (I know the arguments, but I still don't quite understamd it.)

Hey fellas,
With mcinnes out, I have narrowed my replacement down to friend, Mahoney, and smith.
Would like to hear your thoughts. Cheers

Friend for value and potential cheap gun
Smith is Smith and very reliable and almost a pod






Mahoney

Sea eagles have value in tturbo and there will be one frf who could make coin for 4 weeks. As Paseka and afb and jurbo come back from injuries.
Looked into Boyle but his stats are bad, even his ppm is shite for a low minute forward.. saying that he is dirt cheap as an npr. Same goes for whoever fills in the spot

Yeah I'd narrow that down to a two horse race quick.

Smith obviously far more reliable (and expensive) but no doubt there is great value in Friend... If he stays fit. The extra $300k to spend elsewhere makes him an attractive gamble though.

If you are scoring tries by catching the ball and placing it on the ground, you are only getting 8 points per try.

So he played 80 min for 6? Even better

To be fair I looked at Beale a little bit ago because of his price and the amount of tile he spent on the bench last year. If he starts I’ll probably pick him up

You're better than that mate.

No he isnt, dont lie to him and yourself

What's the story with Musgrove. Didn't realise he was a grub and not played last 2 seasons but cheap as if gets bench spot

Musgrove is allowed to play this year and is likely to get a bench spot at the Tigers.
He is currently in my team.

He toned down the alphaness so was allowed back into the NRL.

Welcome mate. Starting team is good, seems everyone has gone off best but if he starts, there's no reason to take a punt on him. Burns in your EMG though? Just swap them. Although, your bench is a little light. I wouldn't feel comfortable and probably won't work for you having to play Saab, Luai and Mag. Probably need a couple of downgrades and add some more value to your bench. Mags will probably start on the bench with Williams looking like to have locked up the lock role. Not sure on Curran mate. I like the Papa pick, haven't seen anyone run with him yet. Watch Hess too as we're not sure if he will start.

I think it's Billy Burns from Panthers. May jag a bench spot but probably unlikely given stacked pack
