I think he would as Marsters is ordinary.

Drinkwater is zero chance of kicking goals

I am not so sure he will score as well on the edge!

Originally I thought that would be the case, but now I'm thinking he will score very well.

He only averaged 60 minutes last year (59.5 to be exact). He should average ~75 minutes or so this year I feel (a combination of 80/70/65 minute games).

Looking at someone like Matterson, Matterson averaged 54 ppg in 66 mpg at Lock (4 game sample size) in 2019, compared with 54 ppg in 80 mpg at 2RF. So no drop off really. He'll lose some activity, but gain plenty of minutes.

I won’t touch Kikau due to how many tackles he misses.

You’re already starting on minus 10-12 with Kikau.

I couldn’t handle his inconsistency.

I’ll take a 30 one week if he scores a 60 the next. Especially with the 2RF situation. There are other “safe” options for sure.

Is Marsters ordinary? What is his conversion %? Then there's Holmes, then there's Feldt. Drinkwater has goal kicking at 33% in Qcup. Yeah you're probably right, he should kick over Marsters.

Marsters 75% 2018 65% 2019

Bugger.

Don’t think he will be in my team then unless he goes really well this coming weekend.

Cheers for that. Sounds good to me. I like facts. Facts are cool.

Up until 2 hours ago, the possibility of Drinkwater kicking (in your opinion) was probably 0%

Now its 0%, after briefly having been more than 0%, and you've gone off him?

But such a roller coaster!

Not sure if i should keep this quiet or not but would Waddell play 13 for the first opening rounds or so?

Started 1 game at lock last year 55 from 62mins. Other than that he was pretty average

He probably will go OK, but he is of limited use (time wise) as Jtrbo is going to start the second he is fit enough

There are enough 2nd rowers with value and more secure job prospects that I probably won't bother.

If you think JTrbo will be out for more than a couple of weeks then he might be worth looking at

I definitely looked at him and decided no, not enough time. But that was when I thought he'd miss a round or two and there's so many options around that price. If however that return date get pushed back further, I might have to revisit.

Edit: Yeah what said . Again.

I have 197 itb not really sure where to spend it. Perhaps upgrade a hooker to Friend? Or upgrade a reserve to exclude Luai from the 17? If a wfb cow comes up could even drop isaako free up some cash to upgrade stimson or get TTurbo in... Any ideas?

Hey everyone

Just a friendly reminder that we don't actively encourage constant posting of team iterations in this thread.

If you want feedback in your team, please use the Assistant Coach forum - https://www.nrlfantasyfanatics.com/f11-assistant-coach


Keep in mind that if you post a team consisting entirely of players that everyone else is picking, there is probably not much of value that is going to be added (whether you post in this thread or the coach forum) - and you can just assume everyone approves of your team
If you want feedback it is probably more worthwhile to ask specifically about the couple of players that are causing you the most problems about selecting (and its fine to ask that sort of question in here)

edit: sorry Cokehead for posting this just after your team post. Wasn't directed at you personally, just there has been a rise in people posting teams that are all pretty similar over the past few pages, and as much as we love increasing the post count, we want to remove a bit of the clutter

I would spend the money. I like Levi to Friend, I like Capewell to Burns/Maubs, not keen on Tetevano so maybe spend it there? Isaako to Drinkwater and you'd have enough for Brailey to Friend and keep Levi assuming you're solid on him, which you would be if you're starting him.  Just some random Mulvy drivel/dribble

Thanks Mulvy. I think prop is the hardest position to pick this year. Could be Haas and SST or a complete smokey for runner up in the prop dpt

Why would you? That averages to 45 and he’s already priced at 44

I agree mate, prop has been doing my head in, although earlier on I thought Carrigan was a pipe dream and now with the lodge injury and watching him play 13 on the weekend I haven't looked back. And whilst I'm not convinced Haas holds his price, I still want him as my captain. So it's set for now. Also like Milchy said, the post above was just bad timing so I specifically decided to answer your question, it's not like you post them all the time.

Just a feeling I’ve got re him that’s made me go off him.

I’ll see how he goes this weekend.

Green knows Morgan doesn't llke halfback.
