NRL Fantasy 2021 Part 1 - Game on Mole

100% strike rate. 2 from 2 getting arrested in the off season. Laws are such a Payne in the Haas.

Sounds like Payne used some bad language and his size towards the police

Probably gets a slap on the hand, or maybe a week or two off to think about it.

good year ahead by the looks of things so many cheapies and mid year origin seems like it will have a good impact on everybody's team last season felt very cookie cutter and there wasn't much diversity

its more serious than what he got 4 weeks off for previously. makes lodge more attractive if he misses a few weeks.

Was that a club imposed ban but ?

CHT ticks the box in what I want from a cheap half. Decent share of kick metres, goal kicking, won't lose a bunch of points to missed tackles which gives a floor in the 20s so you won't get a stinker. Plenty of attacking upside as CHT loves to run the ball. I'll probably be taking the punt

He still gonna cost between 450-500k.....

I think there is upside there just not sure how much yet.

Does anyone have what Munster averages without Cam Smith?

Will Hughes take all the extra kick metres do we reckon or will Munster get some?

happy new year everyone.

who do you think takes Tino's minutes at storm?

I think CHT might be a good pick, keep an eye out for Jaydon nikorima if egan doesn't fire or injuries

If I had to pick between Brooks and CHT I think I’d pick CHT.

Well it’s a real shame that I mentioned him first and you can’t pick him now then...

IMO they'll likely end up splitting the extra KMs- just whoever is in a better position with regard to the previous play.

On CHT/Niko - I recall hearing a rumor that Paul Turner may be starting half this year (played one game for 49 points - so likely to be awkwardly priced).

On Haas. The prior ban was club imposed due to bring non cooperative. Different circumstances, different coach/CEO. I'll be surprised if he gets more than two weeks, and won't be surprised if it amounts to nothing at all.

No doubt, but I bet the NRL won’t be so lenient. Whether they like it or not kids treat them as role models. When will these guys realise they can’t do dumb things with their mates anymore.

Mark my words, remember the name Jack Howarth

Also Tui seems a great pick... 390k and should pick up where tino left off

I highly rate King if he can find some decent minutes

So a few important reminders from my first season of fantasy last year:

Get Haas at some point
Cleary is a god damn gun
JWH is a terrible fantasy option
Trade wisely
Post memes regularly
Trust your gut if you know a player well (kicking myself I didn't pick up Josh Morris when he was cheap as chips mid season)
Fuck the CTR position
JWH is a terrible fantasy option

Surprised to see that Manly prices are out early this morning:

Daly Cherry-Evans HLF $866,000
Jake Trbojevic MID $746,000
Martin Taupau MID $665,000
Curtis Sironen EDG $624,000
Josh Aloiai MID $623,000
Kieran Foran HLF $599,000
Cade Cust HLF $540,000
Taniela Paseka MID $485,000
Tom Trbojevic WFB $477,000
Morgan Harper CTR $405,000
Moses Suli CTR $405,000
Tevita Funa WFB $397,000
Reuben Garrick WFB $367,000

Dylan Walker CTR, HLF $317,000

Haumole Olakau'ata MID $292,000
Jack Gosiewski EDG $288,000
Jorge Taufua WFB $287,000
Joshua Schuster HLF $274,000
Christian Tuipulotu WFB $274,000
Morgan Boyle MID $257,000
Toafofoa Sipley MID $246,000
Jason Saab WFB $246,000
Ben Trbojevic CTR $228,000
Tolutau Koula WFB, CTR $228,000

I guess the key one is Tommy Trbo at $477k - no price adjustments, and probably one that everyone will take the risk on (which makes him less risky)

Davey looks good value (price v potential). They signed him on a 2 year contract and probably could've got him on a 1 year if they wanted. I suspect he might have an edge over Gosie...

Might be some value on one of the wings as well - Saab or maybe Tuipulotu to steal a spot
