NRL Fantasy 2021 Part 1 - Game on Mole

Milford is more expensive than I was hoping.

Edit: actually I take that back 427k is pretty good price for someone with 50+ potential. Lodge is also very cheap

Payne Haas MID $967,000
Patrick Carrigan MID $807,000
Andrew McCullough HOK $724,000
Tevita Pangai jnr MID, EDG $717,000
Kotoni Staggs CTR $564,000
Thomas Dearden HLF $540,000
Jake Turpin HOK $533,000
Thomas Flegler MID $529,000
Brodie Croft HLF $474,000
Alex Glenn EDG $445,000
Anthony Milford HLF $427,000
Jamayne Isaako WFB $399,000
Matthew Lodge MID $390,000
Xavier Coates WFB $363,000
Cory Paix HOK, HLF $362,000
Herbie Farnworth WFB, CTR $352,000
Jordan Riki EDG $344,000
Rhys Kennedy MID $334,000
Corey Oates WFB $310,000
John Asiata MID $300,000
Jesse Arthars WFB, CTR $277,000
Fanitesi Niu WFB $263,000
Dale Copley CTR $251,000
Keenan Palasia EDG $228,000

Depending on his role Asiata could also be very handy

Oates interesting if he starts in back row (training solely on edge apparently) at 310k.. not sure he will score well enough, seems like the kind of guy who will score 30s.. available at WFB though so you might take a 30+ average there to start the year.

Not sure too many of these Broncos boys will be that relevant to start the year. Milf, Niu and Riki probably the most likely. Gonna feel real strange not having Haas as captain this year.

Walters suggested that Isaako is preferred fullback, training reports seem to indicate that is the case. Niu could get a look at centre though, not actually sure.

Of course, he did lose the spot days before round 1 last year

Isaako has had three shots at fullback and has lost them every time

I hope for Isaako's sake that Kevvy is able to get the best out of him and he plays well at fullback. But he's already bottled it a few times there.

Well, Hodgson was injured last year, but he was the guy.

Just from observation not stats, the Raiders and the Storm were the major ballstealers and guys like Wighton and Munster and a few of the forwards.

MN seems around 13400 with some slight variations except for Lodge outlier at 13850

Using 3% discount for each game under 10 games

Walters might be good for isaako, just get him to belief in himself.

Speak of the devil, this just popped up in my twitter feed:

"Jamayne Isaako quite possibly the most vocal I’ve heard him at @brisbanebroncos training. Shouting instructions like crazy from the back. #NRL https://t.co/GBBhiP2U69"

Also just now-

Chris Garry-
"Broncos young star Tesi Niu training at centre this pre season with Jamayne training at fullback. Tesi is a stocky unit who’s best spot probably is centre."

So centre’s likely Tesi and Staggs with the wingers Coates and who else.. maybe Herbie??

Hope for Herbie’s sake he gets a run because he was good for them last year and chose to sign on

Staggs is injured until mid season with ACL in final round of 2020

It might just be that the broncos are the only team with prices. But I can't wait to pick Tesi at centre and then watch him get injured in the first 5 minutes of round 1.

So one team a day and the app launches on 27 or 28th?

That's what happened last year. Knowing Failhub I wouldn't be super shocked if they end up delaying and launching it on Friday the 29th. Then coping abuse all weekend because of a few little bugs

Fifita is too lazy for me.

Peats isn't with the Titans anymore. Don't think he found a new club.


Aaand we have our first round of prices for 2021 -

Riki cheap if he starts. Milford probably the stand out if you back him to find form.

Did I read correctly!?...Lodge 390k?

If he is starting then he’s well worth a look.

If being given the fullback spot at 399k Isaako is also well worth a look.

Yep and Milford looks juicy.

Niu if playing centre is a bargain but only available at WFB ffs...

I believe in the past they have updated players based on where they are named to play round 1?
