NRL Fantasy 2020 Part 66 - Wet weather Studs

Sitting at 663/10(c) (700/11(c) if I loop in HTF).

Think I've had more than most play so hard to judge, but pretty happy with that so far.

I'm going o take HTF's score in the loop over H. Young & Fogarty.

I’d have them in the same order

Papy's dished out some weak scores this year, but it seems to me that it's pretty useless commenting on how shit he is or is not until the game is over. I feel like the last 20mins, with the "new" rules are more or less designed for the Papy's of the NRL. Obviously it won't be as easy for him to score points against the better opposition, but I think tonight was a good template for what can happen when the Storm are in control of a match in those last few minutes.

I actually must have missed the end of the Storm vs Titans match and missed the commentary since, but he didn't play the last 9mins? I find that very interesting, and wonder if that alone robbed him of what could have been another good score, as that's most likely when he may have piled on the points.

Anyway, he isn't easy to own each week, and I did find myself wishing I'd gone with a Teddy/Ponga/Gutho back three, but this is why we hold him. All the effort he puts in has to pay off at some point most weeks.

Needs to be the NRL general Match Centre mate, not the Fantasy specific Match Centre, they hit that one later.

He has never score below 31, which is a pretty good floor for a WFB. His issue is that he has scored 31/32 on five occasions. But there really arnt any significantly better options as a third WFB. Dufty, Gutherson and Nofo are the only options averaging higher and none of them are by more than 5 points better, so it’s really not worth a trade for an extra 45 points at seasons end.

I think it’s time everyone with Paps just acknowledges he is a keeper and we all move on with our lives

C’mon mate. It’s too early in your part of the world to be pissed.

Seems Paps was aware of his avg first half fantasy score. Post match he said he was a bit quiet in the first half and will look to get his hands on the ball more early next game.

Looks like Haas finished up on 1 tb after updates..

Someone needs to get the footage of his tbs and make a gif to send to these fraudticians.

Dumb. Brenko up to 40 Papy 73

Haas scored less the Lolo, and since we all selling lolo, guess we have to sell haas too?
I cant keep up

Add 2 or 3 tbs to Haas score and his score looks about right.
Im not taking HTF score but need to decide between siro and Starling. Hard to predict what siro's mins will be like. Two 2nd row fwds on the bench. Does Siro start on an edge then move into the middle?

Yeah I have to decide between HTF and Siro. I think I’m leaning HTF. Siro should get at least 60 mins but if they’re all on an edge he might only get 30 odd right? Though that probably is his base for the game. What do we think his ceiling is?

George Jennings

31 from Asi looks so much better than a 24. If only Hess didn't drop that try

7/365,not too bad considering that includes Mattos 5. Need to decide which out of Tevaga and Moses to bring in next week as trades and cash won’t allow both

Talau and HTF both used the last 15 minutes to turn their scores from rubbish to good.
Probably other players too who we don't care about.

For Talau, that's just when he shed his try, the timing was irrelevant.
same with HTF last week, he got most of his points from one play in the first half.

Storm were held close by the Broncos for 50 minutes last night, and then they (and pappy's score) started going nuts. I think that's more to do with how poor the Broncos are now than the rules

Unlucky there mate. I still havnt chosen a cow for Luai or a gun for Api yet haha

Milford scored ten more points than Matto, so there's that.....

I just watched the extended highlights of the Sea Eagles win and that DCE try was a joke.

Someone who was 2k short of getting him a couple of weeks ago
