NRL Fantasy 2020 Part 10

Is Croft really going to maintain those sort of KM dominant performances alongside Milf?

From what I saw (first half) Croft was doing almost all of the long field position kicks while the milf dominated final third cage kicks and grubbers

He did but my question is can he maintain that season long to up his fantasy floor. I can’t see how the donkeys go from being so reliant on Milf to just shifting all the long field kicking to Croft

I saw it more of a continuing trend with Milf more than anything, hasn't he previously had games (or even streaks) where he has very little of the kicking or all of it (I don't remember it being dependent on the partner, more on him)? Also, make your draft pick you pleb

Haas went off around 56/57th minute. Croft not long after, about 60th.

Legend. Thanks WL.

So Z. Lomax had a bad trial with plenty of errors, no runs or hitups (ok maybe a couple) & seems to be uncomfortable at f/b. If Mary shifted him back to ctr would you be happy with him in your team. Actually imo a ctr pairing of Lomax/Wiliame would be better than Lafai/Aitken but this seems too radical for Mary.

Milf has averaged more than 300KM a season for last 2 surely?

did you pick Tedesco before me? What a cunt

All those years trying to say Rapa was a better fantasy prospect than Teddy as well! Fucking moron

I am expecting Lafai and Aitken to be the centres because that's what Mary always does haha.

Didn't see much of the CS myself, but the comments around Lomax don't really surprise me. I'll probably still start with him though, I think. If he moved to centre he might score more consistently.

Haas, BBrailey, Knight, Carrigan, Koro, Lucy, Williams, Moses, Rudolf, JTB, Wiliame

Su'a, Hess, Walters, Aekins, Musgrove, Curran, Magoulias

Will Williame grab the other wing spot though?

Shockingly Ravalawa has been mentioned as the front runner!

Yeah I have a feeling Lomax will be a dud but most people will have him to start so we’ll all be in the same boat

I just found out I'm in L6...

Noooooooooooooooooooo


Farewell L51


It's a sad day

Last week Lomax had a good game, this weekend he didn't. Pretty normal for a fullback. He'll be ok.

Definitely on the fence with Su'a. Has he done anything all preseason? I had him in my side all preseason, but I think he's getting dropped for Leilua.

Walters I'm happy enough with given the price.

Wiliame will probably miss out, with Lafai and Aitken there, but there's a slight chance

You were & are the L51 talisman

Mann vs Drinkwater

Who would you take?

Mann. Cheaper and better security (not that Mann's is great).

IMO the donkeys were only so reliant on Milf's kicking because he was the best of a bad bunch - he is not a good kicker by any stretch but I concede he has made some minor improvement in the last year. His go to kick, from virtually any field position is the up and under and he doesn't really have any control of where it goes. It's like playing russian roulette, it could advantage either team.

I would therefore expect Croft to be the dominant kicker. He won't take all the kicks, but he certainly should be taking most of them, especially the long ones.
