NRL Fantasy 2020 Part 11 - The join your Leagues edition!

Waddap Fam,

Can someone tell me the overall group code and any other league I should be joining? Haven't had much time to find them and am way behind this year.

Looking at David Fifita his average in 80 minute 2RF games last season was 60 which is huge. He has 4 games above 60 points, and also have 4 games under 50 points. Which seems like a rollercoaster to me, I mean if he comes out and pumps out 40 to 50 points the first two or three weeks it is going to be extremely underwhelming considering the value of the other options in the 2RF. (Granted they don't have the ceiling, but they will at least be earning money consistently and could score around the 50 point mark as well.

@luckynumber8 You've had extenuating circumstances and are being managed outside the usual process. I'll send you the overall code but may need to wait a couple of days for the league code.

I get your point, but in 2018, Holland scored over 40 6 times out of 10 starts at centre and averaged 45 in the position. That is a better pedigree than Burns or Leilua

It was also assumed he'd get the goalkicking (only kicked in 1 of the above 10 games at centre)

He was even more desirable than Burns is, and given the same stats I'd pick him again in a heartbeat.

What we didn't count on with Holland is his floor being atrocious in 2018(20 in 69 minutes, 19 in 80 minutes, 28 in 80 minutes) and his team being one of the worst attacking sides in NRL history

The Rabbitohs have much more individual talent than that Bulldogs team and Burns has a much safer floor with a low of 33

In hindsight I should have looked further back at Holland to his 2016 centre games where he strung together 3 weeks of 21, 15 and 18 in 80 minutes

The following people still need to check their PM's and join both leagues as well.
@Alfie @Revraiser @Pat69err  @Lukeaye @zzpeterbro @Arakaan @RhinoNQ @JJ @Cool Runnings
@Ironclad Galahad @MrCashman @sets @Arsendragon @Individual @Nymeria @SxcMJ @Jenko @Hayden's Harvstars

If you name is on this list and you have joined your league, just PM myself or your League captain.

I watched an interview with Murray yesterday, might have been inside the NRL. Murray said the move to the edge is designed to get him more minutes, with a shift to the middle coming after the tough stuff in the first 20 minutes. He did also mention that he would have to build up the match fitness, but it sounds like an ideal world has him playing close to 80

Who is getting subbed off, to accommodate him playing in the middle, a forward or Knight?

I think Murray would be a great post origin pickup. Too expensive now, but hopefully will lose some cash over the Origin period.

Not sure if this is good or bad for Leilua. Was asked who he thinks is the best CTR in the NRL right now and his response was something along the lines of... "You're looking at him"

He will 100% be in my team if called into the starting lineup

Wasn't mention, I would imagine Tatola first man off with Knight pushing to prop

Burgess plays the first 20 and comes off I would say, and Tatola would come off for Nicholls not long after. Knight would possibly play the first 30 have a stint over half time and come back on for the last 30 or so, that's what Murray tended to do at lock

This imo.

I think Tom will play a lot more minutes than people expect this year. Just a gut call.

I've kinda slipped into guns and rookies this year. I have 10 under 350k. It looks like too many but I guess TLT will shine a light on it

If he starts, I'll start him.
Cleary and Mann in the halves. I trust Mann over Luai (who'll be my 18th man)

Tom??

Assuming he means Burgess. Looks ripped this year!
With the Rabbitohs losing sam and george as well as Sutton, Tom could be the one that steps up. Although there's probably not too much room for him to grow price/points wise.

So this would mean 80 minutes for one of Lowe and Su'a and 60 for the other? Unless Koloamatangi gets a bench gig and plays a bit of edge? You'd think Lowe would possibly get 80 and bring Su'a on after 20 against tired legs for a bit of spark out wide

Personally i think Lowe plays much closer to 40 than 80
