NRL Fantasy 2020 Part 8

White Lightning wrote:If I bring Hess into my starting team that means my frf & 2fr consists only Broncos & Cowboys players Haas, Carrigan, D. Fifita, Taumalolo, Hess. I've never had that before & I don't know if I like it. Maybe I don't buy Hess & get someone from another club.

I have the same forwards. But as a Qlder, I quite like it.

2020 NRL FANTASY LEAGUES REGISTRATION

NRL FANTASY FANATICS LEAGUES ARE OPEN TO ALL

Don't forget to register guys and gals: Registrations close tomorrow night!

https://www.nrlfantasyfanatics.com/t1135-2020-nrl-fantasy-leagues-registration-thread

Get around it people!!! Always good to have a little bit of competition and bragging rights over some here. If you don't register then I'll give 6 budu's for your ass.

If you are looking for a great summary review of most of the key contenders for each spot to help work out your team, Milch has a great overview of each player in his team thread (not just those he selected) https://www.nrlfantasyfanatics.com/t1168-milchcow-team-planning

I just went through my team & I don't have any players from - Bulldogs, Manly, Raiders, Titans & Warriors.
I'm not worried about owning no Titans & Warriors players, I'm on the fence re Bulldogs & Manly players but no Raiders players with their favourable early draw I do want some of their attacking players.

8 is quite a few. I guess it's balanced out by a few guns.
Do you have any cash left?

Yeah, a few guns in there.

The problem is that Id need 4 cheapies in my 17 (if I run a bench of Koro, Brailey and Levi). Plus Lomax (CTR).

I need a cheap centre to make it work really. I dont mind starting Luai + a cheap WFB + picking a number 17 from the options.

Edit, I still think this'll be close to cookie cutter anyway. The Haas Lolo combo will likely prevail. Hard to fund that without looking for an extra cheapie or two

Edited a few times as it didn't make much sense

Is douehi really going to end up on the bench/in reserve grade?

Reading a couple article on NRL.com

Knights seem to think Broncos are a big threat to sign Ponga once he is free to search the market come November 1.

PS> This is based of literally nothing but the fact the Broncos were the ones to sign him on a contract when he was 13 and that they will have the money come this next off season

Another article pretty much puts me off any Warriors forward. RTS saying that whatever young lad puts their hand up to stand up will get a run. I see them swapping and changing their pack a lot this year.

That’s basically where he came from at his last club, can’t see why they’d rate him over Thompson

Has a minor leg injury he got last weekend. Will be fullback R1.

Will split the game 40mins with Thompson at fullback.

Walters about to become a lot more popular

That looks like it could be the Tigers round 1 starting 13 (for the bench they wouldn't have both JRey and Doueihi on the bench so there would be some movement there)

Momirovski and Eisnhuth are injured and could make their way into the team

If Doueihi doesn't get fullback, he can join Mbye in the list of players we've signed to play fullback and then ignored.

Agree. Will be close to the 13. Doueihi with a slight knock. Will still be fullback R1 with Thompson and Jennings going for the wing spot.
Momirosvki will come into consideration once fit too. Which could see mbye shifted to hooker. Bench is a mystery at this stage. Musgrove and MCK most likely get spots.

Anyone else struggling to find FRF cover on their bench? I literally only have my 2 FRF's

So now is everyone ending up with heaps of mid range 2RF's? After trials team were announced I have ended up with Hess, Leilua, Carty, Su'A and Williams

Best options are likely to be the likes of Musgrove and amone. Otherwise do something like haas, carrigan with one of knight or Merrin on the bench

Wow so no Brimson or Stimson.

How is your back 3 looking?

Everyone was always going to end up with lots of mid range 2rf. It’s how you get value there and non starting 2rfs tend to score badly so is hard to find great value in the cheap range
