NRL Fantasy 2021 - In my opinion, this is part 8

5 points underpriced? Where you get that from mate?

It's such a risk IMO banking on a some decent scores from someone as volatile as Latrell whose probably already had his best game in  pre season. Incredible player when fully on it, but he's a lazy cunt whose going into the season actually carrying a gut lol

I know but tbh I’d rather bet on Latrell than spend 600k hoping Tino or Cheese make the jump to gun without seeing what their role is going to be. It’s all make believe until the team lists come out anyway.....I’ve got about 8 spots locked away and everything else is up for grabs.
I am also quite prepared to be a complete hypocrite come Thursday next week

Now that’s an interesting discussion.....no obvious track record but a definite role change/role certainty

I don't want to but I'll probably end up with him unless TLT serves up some more appealing option at his price or cheaper.

Yeah if Corey Oates was named on the edge I'd be on him for WFB but alas looks like he'll be on the bench.

Here's hoping Moylan can get a good attacking game or two in the early season.

Far safer banking on Tino/Smith than Latrell mate. Both shown to go above current average with increased role.

I actually had Tupounuia in one of my early drafts. He's pretty much locked into an edge role for three months while Cordner is out.

He's priced around where he scores as an 80 minute second rower without tries though but when he does get the attacking stats he goes big. Maybe he can up his average by about 5 or 10 if he picks up more tackle breaks and line breaks but he's in that awkward spot of not a cow, not a keeper.

Hope for him i'm guessing is he doesn't get moved around as much, found himself In the CTR a lot last season during games, so true 2RF average is unknown

Probably a pass for me.

From a scoring perspective he is priced at 36 points which puts him in the same bracket as many other players who guys are considering like BMM, Davey, Ford, Riki. His average as a starting second rower is 43 points in 70+ minute games (10 game sample size.) Which is only a 6 point jump. He only scored above 50 twice and while it was scores of 75 he faced the worst Broncos team ever, and an awful Dragons squad. While having six scores below 40 points.

Positionally it may be his spot, but Robinson likes to rotate his forwards and rest his guys. With Butcher in the wings, Cordner with a concussion (Non-Linear injury so could come back whenever), and Victor Radley due back in the early rounds. Positionally he may not have a spot longterm or may occasionaly swap out of it.

He has the potential of big scores, but a heavy reliant on attacking stats to artificially boost his average from what it would be against consistent opponents. More value and potential in other guys around that price range, and could be rested or lose the spot.

He is out 3 months?

Isaako.

And if I start with a back 3 of Pap, Isaako and Hoy is that too weak?

You can tell I dont watch the Roosters play, I know he played in thr CTR abit and shuffled around but I figured that Angus did more covering at CTR

If Holmes gets fullback would anyone hop on? Or is just too risky Payten will keep changing things up @Mulvy? I’ve heard some chatter around today Drinky is gonna start in the 6. But if Dearden goes there soon then Drinky probs goes back to 1 doesn’t he??

Yeah, Roosters have set up a tailored programme of rehab for him that lasts until the middle of June, so that's the earliest he'll be back, if ever. https://www.smh.com.au/sport/nrl/the-roosters-revolutionary-plan-to-bring-cordner-back-from-concussion-20210207-p570av.html

I dont think that is too weak, I mean if the main two pay off and you have some cover incase of an early return from Ponga without Hoy making enough cash you should be fine. I keep thinking to downgrade Tedesco.

I love Isaako as a player and feel he got a bad wrap last year and was used somewhat as a scapegoat early on. In the two games he has scored less than 30 points last year the Broncos scored 1 try... 1 between the two games. So he is a lot safer of an option as he does GK. Removing his debut game he averages 40 points at Fullback which is more than solid as a WFB positional player. While a 6 point bump isnt great for a cashcow he makes some cash and could go higher if the Broncos can actually perform.

*37 average at fullback mate

Didnt see Dearden linked with the Cowboys news.

39.4 if we dont count his Debut game in 2017 where he didnt kick goals.
