NRL Fantasy 2020 Part 88 - Finals Fantasy brought to you by the letters M T V & B

Anyone remember that video a couple years ago that surfaced of a bloke who was a dead ringer for Sam Burgess doing a line in a toilet behind a glass... was quickly shut down as not him... might be some falsities to that.

I don't remember it but from I read about Surgess there's a high chance it was him.....it sounds typical though the elite players are a protected species while everyone else suffers the consequences. Also the father of the Surgess' wife is a pussy....why didn't he arrange to get Surgess done over & put in hospital over the way he treated his daughter.

In the old days the father would be expected to exact revenge to restore the family's honour.

There was footage of a man doing drugs behind like a shimmery window or something... and it looked exactly like Burgess... I cannot find the video anywhere there. It was 2017/18/19.. Wish I could find it.

I'm all for 13 players, but dropping the cap slightly every round

Highly doubt it's true, probs just a play from the roosters to make souffs up their offer. They already got a decent fullback by the name of James Tedesco

Yeah & Manu or B. Morris can easily play fb if Teddy has a rest

Many of the top fullbacks don't start at fullback, they often start on the wing - Ponga, RTS, Latrell, Gutherson.

Talking about Manu imo he's hasn't played that well this year. He still is very good when attacking but he has been pretty average in defense making bad reads or just missing easy tackles.

Just reading today about Ponga needing a shoulder reconstruction...that probably explains his recent performances with the lack of confidence.

Yeah true. His defence has always been his weakness however for the 2 years cronk was with us he had a great defending half inside of him so it made his job much easier. Now all of a sudden teams have targeted our right edge cause of Flano which has drawn more attention to manu and forced him to be much more involved defensively. His attack has also been quiet due to not getting enough of the ball, Flano loves to play a short ball to the backrower so Manu doesn't get as many touches. If we could get him more involved it would be a huge benefit as he is an excellent attacking player who has the ability to draw in defenders and throw his signature one handed offload.

Yeah I know but this Suaalii bloke seems like the next kind of Latrell in 2/3 years. Seems like he is already thinking of switching to Union so it would be a major risk signing him. Anyway it is probably just all a tactic from his manager.... make souffs aware that the roosters might be interested ultimately forcing them to persue him even harder blah blah blah... you know what I mean

Yeah I agree & as you say Manu should be getting more ball because he's very hard to contain in attack.

Kikau unsuccessful in challenging dangerous throw and suspended for prelim

Not really.. just enjoying the long weekend, took today off work as well.




Such a lazy fella here.

Funny thing is I am actually a little concerned about MTB now after trying to log on to the platform.  We have a joint portal with the same password so we can both make changes and bug fixes during games on the fly, but my password isn't working now.  Fiona may indeed be interrogating the poor bloke as we speak.

Either that or his PC monitor has also broken now.  Bloke can't take a trick when it comes to digital viewing devices.

With a strap on.
