NRL Fantasy 2021 Part 5 - There was no party.

Was thinking how this year is a little odd for Oates to actually make the move to forwards when our outside back quality is at an all time low.

Hes had a couple of poor seasons but i still think our side looks better if Oates was named on the wing.

He's quite a good pick if he does, and even with mid 40s minutes he can average in the 40s, priced at 31

Eh, its the other hammy and if it's 6-7 weeks out he's less likely to reinjure than the grade 1 where they try and rush back after 1-2 weeks all the time*

*this is based on my expert opinion from reading NRL physio FB posts last season.

Tigers have a new look prop rotation with Tamou, Ofahengaue and Utokaimu coming in.

Ofa may not even start. Tamou and Twal will start ahead of him. Mikaele might get the other starting spot as a lower minute starter with Ofa as bench impact.
Garner might even start at lock, with Twal and Tamou at props (I had seen that somewhere last week, but might just be internet bullshit)

I don't really like picking Hoy with his known end date as a starter. But I also currently have Moylan there at a similar price, and that's gross.

If the Broncos could just put my interests ahead of theirs and pick Oates ahead of Riki indefinitely, that would do nicely.

Yep whichever of my WFB cows fails will be gone for Turbo once he is fit*

This does put Hoy under serious considerations

I can't see Oates or Riki starting on the edge. I see a log jam of forwards at the Broncos with these guys (perhaps unnecessarily so) at the back of that jam. It will be at full strength team of Haas and Lodge/Flegler, then Carrigan locking the scrum with Glenn (don't know why) and TPJ on the edges. Love to see Rikki start but I think there is too many middles in the Broncs to have TPJ there. If Kevvie had any sense he would have TPJ out of the middle of the ruck/field where he is a penalty / send off liability and have him and the other beast Rikki running riot on the edges. Don't forget one of Kevvie's first signings is Asiata, who he must rate, who will also be pushing for a middle/lock run which could push Carrigan into front row forward rotation. Just my thoughts though.

Mates being 'Glenn'??? He has a testimonial game this weekend, so maybe that's a gentle way of saying this is a retirement year for him and he will be used sparingly from the bench. I was however listening to a Pod Cast 'Talking with TK' and they interviewed assistant coach Matterson and he kept saying that even though Rikki was training on the edge he is still 'very raw'. This was mentioned multiple times in the interview which would suggest to me that maybe a starting berth is more likely somewhere mid year.

Considering he's on a good behaviour bond for two years I'd imagine he's in a bit of trouble here.
