NRL Fantasy 2021 Part 3 - Closer

Draft 7: (46k spare)
Got cold on Lolo and Gagai/Kelly + an injury to Gilbert

JBrailey
McInnes (If he goes to sharks) Watson Koloamatangi
Fifita Davey
Cleary Munster
Roberts Bird
Tedesco Trbojevic Laurie

Lam LAM Lodge Liddle
Riki Blore Moylan Niu

Only just put McInnes in my team in wake of the Lolo news but am not fully convinced

5 Guns + Trbojevic + Roberts and Bird which, if given expected roles, should be keepers

This includes three guns which are a tier above the rest in their position (McInnes, Cleary, Teddy) and two of those are the two best captain options

Hello my brother

Welshy!!! Love you! How's tricks mate?

Ok gents. Fill me in, I ain't reading back through 3 threads and 140 odd pages of info. What's the group think so far, who's shaping up to be a lock for everyones teams? Last year I attempted to avoid group think and it backfired on me spectacularly. There's some rather smart cookies on here!

Great team! Yeah Taumalolo is a tricky one. Im personally still gonna start with him, just not a captaincy option.

I only just heard about Lolo, and I've dropped him in favour of bringing back Grant.

Crichton, Davey
Cleary, CHT
Hopoate, Averillo

Taumalolo was in the mix, but after today's news he may not be a viable option

I was top 100/200 all season then I fell off a cliff when I got Milf against all the advice but still well inside 1000 ahah

Draft L1 champ so all in all a decent season but hoping for better lad!

Reluctantly add Moylan and Hoy to the WFB list.

A few others have been in and around the conversation: Matterson, Hetherington, CHT, etc

Appreciate you! Yeah, was already on Watson, Laurie and Lam. Not sure I'm there on Tesi. Liddle is a new one to me, what have I missed there?

starting hooker @304k lol with little to no competition. Fantasy goldudst until he gets injured after 3 rounds as per usual

Well that McInnes rumour certainly puts a new spin on things. Still not sure he scores like he did last year, but certainly makes me completely re-interested again. He does seem destined to lose chunks of that price tag though...

Oh fuck! Well better than me then! Hahaha, I had about a 8 week stint in the middle of the year where I basically on managed to jump on 10mins prior to the game and set a line up. Joys of a new farm I guess. Much like an offseason and pre-season though, I've had time to get myself on top of things for the most part and the place runs pretty well nowadays without requiring 15+ hours a day of my attention. So hopefully this year I can get back to enjoying both my footy AND my fantasy.

Speaking of draft leagues, anyone kickin one off this year and have a vacancy? Or do we have enough people interested to put a league together?

I'm sure it will ease up fella! Nice to kick back and just enjoy the games on the weekend!

Im lucky they moved the game times, used to be every week I had to wake up at 3/4 am to make sure I didn't miss any gameday outs, those were my days of top 100/200 finishes every year, maybe I should revert back lol
