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

Scored 40 and 42 first 2 games playing 80 mins

Barely runs, doesn't kick

Actually priced at 31 and hasn't played under new rules that saw huge increase to middles tackles

That's a good point

My bad.

Joey Tapine worth a look if he starts at lock. Check out his scores/average and PPM last year for his games at lock. Could be a good solid POD. Doesn't need to be a massive minute player either to get you in that 55-60 zone.

Agreed. He should play 55-60mins+ Interested to see what impact Ryan James will have on Raiders pack mins.

Yeah I am going for lots of these guys that are explosive and can go huge given the opportunity

He started in the trial (although was named on the bench) but last year after getting injured only got starts when Kikau was out.

So even if he starts round 1, wouldn't trust his job security with Martin and Kikau around.

Plus without CTR availability he loses some of his allure.

Anyone rate Leniu as a cheapie? Dude is a fucking unit and it remains to be seen what happens with mins in that pack. His PPM is insane (1.11).

I am expecting him to have the other side of Lui's minutes, with pap and Tapine playing 50+

Just had a look, and in games without a try he averaged less than his priced average. Are you comfortable that he'll score enough tries to make himself useful?

Also there were all the games when he didn't start at lock to contend with. Raiders have a stacked pack and no guarantee he holds down a starting position

Weird that we haven't heard the results of horse's 3 pending suspensions.

he wasn't charged, for the shoulder charges.

dont think there was any nrl suspension for the driving fine, just up to ricky whether he picks him or not for round 1.

Thoughts on Townsend?

Tohu Harris. Anyone thinking he won't get the 80 min?

I don't quite understand what people are expecting from him points wise.

With Tevaga and Sironen playing 9 and carrying an edge on the bench someone plays 80.

if not 80, he should go close. Considering him as a non-origin replacement for Crichton

Egan will only miss 1 week if anything
