NRLFF 2006 Fantasy thread - Round 5+6, I love fullbacks

Didnt Gasnier have a 70 without a try?

That’s one game you never look at the big picture! It included 3 line breaks worth 30 points vs 12 in standard format, yes it would of been a big game without a try regardless but it isn’t his week to week score is it

plus it’s apples and oranges completely different game these days

What a ball!

Great line run from Milton Tryday

Watch how quick the play the balls are in this game. Plenty of front foot ball for offloads and line breaks. I'd guess line breaks per game are much higher in 2006 vs 2020

Yes the game is faster with higher scoring

24-0 HT. Geez. Haven't seen this game on "Greatest comebacks" this week so Dragons might be done and dusted here. :/

Knights were on a remarkable run from that Raiders game on wards. They were scoring 40+ points for fun, what seemed like every week

Haha shot Bedsy!

Also there are zero de merits for missed tackles and penalties so no comparison can be fairly made

Riley Brown

This is going to be a massacre

It was 2-0 I went to the fridge and it was 12-0. Now 24, probably 36 by the time I type this comment.

Rewatching 2006 stuff I actually think Johns might be underrated in 2020. Phenomenal player.

Yup, best player I’ve ever seen and not even in prime here

I certainly under rated him before watching this. Only player I've seen close to his game management is Cameron Smith, which makes it all the more impressive since Johns touches the ball less and defends on the edge

Been bagging Georgie Carmont and he's gone and scored a double. Had to work for that one too.
Credit to the lad!

Buderus severely underrated also

I don't think Bedsy is under-rated. Was the best hooker in the game until Cam Smith turned up. Still rated as one of the best recent hookers, surely. Can't think of anyone in that era or more recently that I'd put ahead of him other than Smith.

True his ruck decision making was incredible always gives Johns so much time to make decisions

He hits hard too. Not many hookers in the modern game hurt players like he could. Isaac Luke probably the only one I can think of off the top of my head.

This is looking like a top week to have brought Gorrell into my squad.

Maybe Burderus gets over the stripe for a balancing out of sorts?

Regarding Johns... I knew he was good, but amazed at just how involved in everything he is. Quite the player. Doesn't look as handsome with the haircut, though.

Commentators agreeing with you Robelgordo

Go yourself Danny Boy !!
