NRL Fantasy 2021 Part 5 - There was no party.

Musgrove wont be playing for the Tigers round 1, will get suspended for sure for that tackle.

The fact that is shot is illegal still depresses me... used to live for that shit as a forward when I played.

Papalii is way down on the huge minutes he used to play. Averaged 67 minutes at lock in 2018, down to 52 minutes last year.

Are you throwing out useless stats just to be negative?

Two years ago, different rules, different team, different position, and a better player.

Agree with milchcow, whitehead and pap only two you’d be able to count on consistent minutes. Tapine and lui a close third and 4th.

Not to the head though, and in an exhibition game too!

Sionce moving to prop he's been a consistent 50-60 minute player for 2 seasons, and i expect that to continue.

I would be more certain of his minutes than any other Raiders middle

Talking more about the shoulder charge in general.

I agree with this.

I don’t like no scrums, form of attacking tactical play taken away

Mmmm, true. I like whatever speeds up the game, they had slowed the fuck out of it. Changes are already happening with the return of the ball playing lock. I would have preferred binning the bunker, but got shouted down there too.

You heard anything on Blore's extent of injury bro? Saw him with the brace on tonight

Forum saying it's a bandage on his wrist, not a brace or guard.

Oh, okay. Agreed!

It all feels a bit samey tho. Lot of one out hit ups. No breaks in play mean no time for any strategy. Maybe teams need to be smarter but were talking about league here.

As starting lock, Tapine never played less than 47 minutes last season. 62 point average in 52 minutes, but most of his best games were in the finals series, where he dominated, but isn't included in his price.

Oh yeah that is probably right. It was a kind of baige colour and wasn't very big. That's a positive then I guess

I think he was on the outer due to a preseason indiscretion. That takes the decision away from Madge though.

Tapine had some cracking games, but the raiders were pretty low on troops during season and started carrying outside backs on the bench. Could account for the minutes

Riki's jawline has locked him in my squad, damn

Bet he don't get invited to family BBQ haha

There's the classic 4 tackle bust run from Fifi.

That settles it then, Tapine will get 60 mins

Riki great try

Guys stay away from Riki . Oates will steal his mins
