NRL Fantasy 2020 Part 31 - Do peptides increase body temp?

Will be nice getting Cleary and Taumalolo back next week

Considered Kennedy>Averillo after a few beers yesterday but sat tight. Will probably be the trade I make next week if Averillo looks as good as his bench stints

DCE looks terrifying as a non owner. Averaging 60 with no tries and 1 try assist, surely he is going to put up a monster soon. Probably my next gun target after Murray

That was posted before last night's match, maybe by you. Certainly one to monitor

Penrith have been waiting about 18 months to pair Cleary and Luai together. They played Luai 9 games off the bench last year because he is too good for reserve grade. The combo worked well with a 2-0 start including a win over the Roosters. Sure Luai doesn't light up the stat sheet but watch the defensive line attention when he gets the ball. Surely Ivan isn't going to throw all that away because Burton got lucky with a couple of deflections leading to tries

Only watched the extended highlights after the game but reconciling Burton scoring by picking up a dropped bomb (from Luai) and a 1-in-1000 chargedown to the hype here about how Luai was done forever was spectacular.

Definitely wasn't me but good to see others on the same page

You should try watching the game, then comment.

Was great seeing Rudolf starting again yesterday

Turbo, Mitchell then DCE for me. I think its a good time to bring Mitchell in as Rabbitohs have a good run of fixtures coming up.
Im hoping Carrington, Horse and Lucy can average around 50 so that I can sort out the weak spots in my backline before worrying about bring in those keeper forwards

I'll probably end up missing Mitchell. Don't want to burn a trade on centres until I absolutely have to and don't want him in WFB

With JTB & Rudolf in my emg's & putting their hand up to be promoted to the my 17 then E. Katoa might be out of the 17 for me this week.

486/9c - Twal, Lucy, Mann, JMK, Lomax, Ponga, Grant, Horse to go

Burton looks like a class player but Penrith dont need a dominate kicker with Cleary. They need someone that can put Kikau & Crichton into space. I dont Burton has the ability to do that yet

Im a sucker for wasting trades on ctrs!

He was definitely over playing his hand, with guys like Kikau and Crichton you need to give them early ball to beat their man not try to put them in holes. Luai did it very well for Kikau's first try here

Can you mention all the predictions you’ve made with absolutely certainty, including all the one that were wrong?

Who do you think are going to be the top 2 halves this year
Moses, DCE, Cleary look the top 3, with Munster maybe the next one down (Brooks also started well)

I think if you go anyone else its probably for cash/value reasons.


I'l be bringing in Moses/DCE at some point (to partner Cleary). Possibly for Drinkwater soon - he was probably my worst trade in for the restart. Or wait until Mann has maxxed out and upgrade then.

Hunt will be up there, but there’s no way I could justify the buy against the top 3 or Munster.

Predictions and certainty don't go together. They are exactly that, predictions, some will come off, others won't. Nothing wrong with having an opinion.

I have noticed a disturbing trend on here where instead of debating based on facts, some regular posters are just shit talking about others for having an opinion, which is pretty shit. Compare that to constructive discussion on the same topics, which the likes of Honey Badger bring to the same discussion.

Expectations of better performance than what players are currently priced at, is what Fantasy is about. My game this season is based around expecting guys to get bigger roles than they started with, which is working well so far with guys like Rudolf, Kerr and Crichton moving from bench to starting over the first few weeks.

I watched Crichton closely after many were frothing over his previous games. Was hoping to throw him into WFB but looks like he may have to sit in the EMG for a while.
