NRL Fantasy 2020 Part 53 - You got any more of that Reece Robson?

No, one a year max and we got our allocation already haha

Actually RCG has really turned his career around playing for the Eels. Arthur must really thrash them at pre-season training because all the forwards are very fit.

I brought in Sironen and Farnworth this week. Look to have spots locked and could see increase in minutes/ involvement.  Good for the 18-21 in case of no trades or emergency.  McIntyre probably fits the same criteria and was close to coming in to the team.  I watch more Rabbits games so went with Siro.   Both replaced red dots so added potential points in super emergency and maybe some cash down the track.

Hetherington is anyones guess at this point. Could get bulk minutes, used and abused as a loany, or not much at all.

So you reckon Farnworth immediately returns to wing when Staggs comes back?

He has solid base on wing which is why I was leaning him, but I'm still not sure which 2 take wing spots out of Isaako/Farnworth/Coates when Staggs returns

I honestly picked McIntyre because his junior club is where I'm from and no other reason

Just pay up and bring teddy in or go cheap elsewhere? I guess for me/most it’s essentially is teddy $360k better than RTS? With that run of games it’s hard to see how he isn’t but surely he can’t keep up massive scores that whole time

I need to decide between sione and RTS and teddy and sironen/Macintyre

Im gambling on sione at centre and 2nd row coverage giving me a still cheapies 44-50 average and RTS 45-50 when he starts getting some inevitable attacking stats. This gives my team way better balance on paper but no teddy is scary

How's everyone feeling about the Butcher vs Young debate now that they've both played?

No wonder Lolo was gassed. He had RCG running at him all night then once he gets up another big bopper runs at him.

I'm hoping that Staggs pushes Darius out. That's mostly an IRL hope not just for fantasy.

Evens after that round I would say, talk of Butcher and Liu right after the game from Robbo and he played 5 mins extras in GP so that is unsettling for owners I’d say.

Young your prototypical 2RF. Bad day at office for MTs that ain’t go away the way he plays but he was plenty involved defensively to offset the misses! Will be up and down in attack because Raiders go both ways with Wighton and Williams sharing

Maybe slight edge to Young after the comments from Robbo

Agree, If he (Young) sticks to the 80 minutes he should be a tidy investment. I still believe that Liu isn't half the player Butcher is but they still fit him in somewhere.

Raiders had Whitehead get a poke in the eye and Soliola HIA'd so not sure if the minutes would've changed much but Tapine only played 35 mins off the bench even with those injuries.

I think Young just has his nose in front.  I actually like watching him play too.  If he can get a bit more ball he looks strong and a solid asset.

How's the raiders pack plus interchange looking with the horse and soliola injured, plus the Bateman saga. Did guler get injured too? They already carried a back in Scott there, surely there's some bigger minutes for Sutton, tapine or havili

Add Oates and Arthur’s to that mix as well

Ricky has always played Tapine for 35-40 minutes when he's playing in the middle.

Happy not to have either

He had a much better 2nd half. They didn't give him a single tackle bust on his strip play when he clearly ran over Clune. CK must not have him

Same as Hess for 100k cheaper. Should make some decent money and provide solid 45-50 average in 14-17.

White Lightning wrote:Surely HTF comes onto the wing for O'Neill next week. O'Neill got exposed with his lack of pace on the wing. He's fast enough for a ctr but doesn't have the top end speed required for a winger. He could get away with it if he was bigger but he isn't. There were a couple of instances where if HTF was there he would of gone close to scoring but O'Neill had no chance.

Till this day, it baffles me how he made it into the QLD squad.
