NRL Fantasy 2020 Part 44 - The Reckoning

Nah, all good mate. What could go wrong with a rookie Tigers winger with a bung hammie and some Dogs CTR that's only played 80 once in his career?

Should be a tonne of points scored though. Dogs are letting in hattricks for fun lately and Tigers have one of the worst defences and no Twal.

Nofo for a banner this week.

I thought I would go and watch some highlights of Tesi just to see how he played, because we haven’t really had the chance to watch him play a full game yet and I had a few notes from his Q CUP highlights.

1. How is he in the system solely as a CTR? Went through the 2019 games and he had 7 at CTR and 6 at FB. Unless they went off R1 this year where he played CTR.
2. He is a pretty good ball player. A couple times he made a nice short pass or long ball at the line to put someone over
3. Can break a tackle and looks really strong through the legs
4. Fairly quick
5. Did not create too much for himself. In his highlights most of his opportunities were created through his halves or someone else making a break and him backing up.

No mate. Cleary and Luai have been playing together coming through the junior ranks and Ivan realises that they will be the halves pairing. May isn't really a threat at all to be fair, best he will do is get the number 14 jumper. Penrith are going well at the moment and Luai complements Cleary the best and allows him to play his game.

Fun Fact: At NRL level before this year Cleary and Luai had only played 1 game together... 5 now including the 4 this year

"The fact the Bulldogs play on Sunday means if you do trade Averillo in and, say, Meaney bumps him out of the backline on game day you probably won't be able to reverse the trade."

Thanks LS

Probably just read off the Broncos website, which lists him as a centre (not that these mean anything either)

I don't understand why people keep wanting Milford to fullback. He doesn't want to play there. If he's not getting involved at 6 he's only going to be less involved at fullback, where part of the job is covering more ground and organising the defensive line. It's going to exacerbate the problem.

He's either 6 or dropped, imo.

I wouldn't mind if they swapped Milford and Croft.

Broncos fan want Boyd v2.0 at fullback.

Someone else has Nofo? Thought I was the only one on here. With their forwards a little thin too, Nofo and Talau will be doing even more carries out of their own end.

Such a fantasy genius.

Nah I don't have him mate, very little faith in my Tigers players, but good shit on taking the punt on Nofo and being rewarded.

Hoping for a hattrick of hattricks vs. Dogs with SKatoa last week and Teddy the week before, Nofo seems as good a shout as any

Would also enjoy all the talk about bringing him in next week if he does

Haha!

I like how he says, 'you probably won't be able to reverse the trade.' Doesn't even explain why and the possible situations behind it. Like if you traded Twal to Avo and leave Avo on the bench, of course you can reverse lol.

Yeah, I'm hoping he can maintain that 50 average. Got 50 last week and really only had one big play.

Very few rookies get dual to start the season, normally only get it if they play game 1 in the alternative position instead.

No confidence in SCritch scoring well so he'll be in my emg with Willame in my starting center. Will trade paix to talau after tonight if he scores below 35

Sounds like a man that's going through it.

Just looked at his team he's in a bit of a pickle mainly all halves on his bench Clark, Clune, Luai, Paix

Further proof he isn't in the upper realms of fantasy players. While they independently might have been alright picks (I didn't rate the Clune pick) 3/4 of them had terrible job security, grabbing 1 was a gamble, grabbing 3 of them was a problem waiting to happen

Roosters star James Tedesco trained strongly without contact on Wednesday ahead of Friday's clash with the Dragons, according to coach Trent Robinson.

The fullback now has to pass one last concussion test to be cleared.
