NRL Fantasy 2020 Part 89 - Finals Fantasy 2020 End of Days

Anyone else see the SportsBet promo?

They are giving away a 10K bonus bet to 10 random people this Friday to be used on any race at Flemington on Derby Day (This Saturday). The bet can't be split and whatever profit you win comes back to you in cash (meaning you don't have to turn it over).

You're not the only one mate. Origin isn't far off, right?

Maybe it's a sport hangover from a weekend of drinking and watching nrl, afl, cricket and just about anything else we could bet on whilst drunk but I'm struggling to get up for origin.

Anyone think QLD could put up a fight? Exciting young players but NSW seem like they could win every game by a couple of tries..

Or it could be something to keep MTVB busy in the off season. Nothing to see here but a Starling banner

Might avoid Haas at the start of next season reading this...

Yep I might avoid him as well.

I think Josh Papalii is probs better value.

Raiders will likely have

8. Papa
9. Hodgson
10. R.James
11. CHN
12. Whitehead
13. Tapine
14. Starling
15. Horse
16. Young
17. Lui/Guler/Soliola/Sutton/Havilii/KOD

That is a huge pack... Will Papalii minutes stay around 55?

He might be disappointed when he discovers that Canterbury aren't based in Christchurch.

In all seriousness, probably all NRL club scouts keep an eye on Rugby talent, but it's still a long road to transition them into NRL quality talent.
The best thing he could bring is a change in culture/perspective...

The article and quotes really just state the obvious, he was never going to continue playing 80 and that wasnt the plan until injuries struck at the start of this year.

If all forwards are fully fit to start 2021 it will be easier to leave him out.

Even if we do have injuries I dont think Kevy will be stupid enough to run him into the ground like Siebold did
