NRL Fantasy 2021 Part 4 - Praying that nobody gets hurt

Here's the draft team for my Wags team, following the #thatsmyteam restrictions that I outlined earlier: must have at least 1 player from all 16 teams in the scoring 17 and no more than 2 players from any 1 team.
Cook
BMM / Watson / Tino
Matterson / Blore
(C)leary / Munster
Averillo / Bird
Teddy / Turbo / Simonsson
Bench:
Oates
Liddle
Hola
Moylan
Koala
Davey
Brailey
Niu

Apart from having to run players in 18-21 who I would normally want to get points from, it looks OK.

If Croker gets 9 at Manly does he then replace Moylan in my 18-21?

What is rhe go with this chatter about Blore?

I just noticed I have JFH, Watson, Koala, LAM, and Hola in my side. Is that too many Mids if Hola starts? Also noticed I have 5 HOK’s and potentially 8 Edges too. Is this too much if I only have 4 FB’s, plus 3 CTW and 3 Halves?

You want at least 5 mids covering 3 slots, sounds like hookers (1 slot) and edge (2 slots) are imbalanced.

Yeah well Keary was on the left edge... so when he switches to the right with Angus there will be much more opportunities as opposed to having Kyle Flanagan next to him lol

Could u give urself a Ram-man from He-man or Roger Ramjet avatar ? I think it has to be done.

I just hope it’s a case of setting the Billy Goats onto the Troll! No mention of this story anywhere on two Tigers forums. It’s amazing how fast stuff spreads on these awesome forums! You’d assume it would have leaked out by now if it was true. Not even Hoops or The Mole have had a crack at it yet.

Cleary Munster
Roberts Bird
Tedesco TTurbo Laurie

Lam Riki Watson Liddle
Blore Niu +590k (between Averillo, Alvaro, Hola, Stefano or others which pop up)

Will have to wait until closer to see if Laurie is an option and if not will try and upgrade him to Ramsay

Is Koala Koloamatangi? And if so, isn't he expected to play off the bench?

Yes it is, and is he? Who knows? So many players we are guessing about. All will be revealed onnTLT!

I've got Moylan as 3rd WFB

Murray is confirmed as starting lock. Someone gets the edge that Sironen had and Koala seems to be the front-runner.

Koloa has been training on the left edge in starting team in, in game scenarios.

Arrow and Murray training in the middle!

I did too until I realised Croker can cover Halves for similar price and starting HOK. Moylan at FB seems far more interesting than Moylan at 5/8. Still tossing up between which 2 of these three to keep (Moylan, Liddle, or Croker. Not enough room for all three.

8. Tom
9. Cook
10. Arrow/Tatola
11. Su’a
12. Koloamatangi
13. Murray

14. Benji/Cartwright/Host
15. Tatola/Arrow
16. Knight
17. Nicholls

I won’t be picking Lachlan Croker he’s a fantasy dud and I don’t see it changing.

If I had to pick out of him or Moylan I’d pick Moylan.

What was this vicious rumour circulating unchecked and causing unnecessary changes to pre TLT teams?

No love for rapana as a dual and only 415k. I think I remember reading rumours his starting centre this year might be worth a punt

That Blore is injured and it will be announced soon.

Some guy on a Supercoach site stated Blore had a wrist injury which will keep him out for 6-8 weeks. He refused to give his source, but the news would come out in the next few days. Absolutely nothing today anyway.
