NRL Fantasy 2021 - Part 9 - ‘Twas the weekend before TLT

Reasoning is that he got basically zero attacking stats last year and is now in a much better team, opening up the possibility of attacking stats.

Do we think he'll maintain his workrate from last year? If so then I see very little risk and decent upside for a POD pick

Flelger Asiata will definitely be two of them, sounds like Teo will be a third.

Dunno if playing the trial necessarily rules out the other two, but id hope its a utility because four forwards is a waste. Not really expectinf whoever it is to get any meaningful mins unless injury

Could be this season's Matterson, great base and the occasional upside. I prefer Lucy though, costs less, looking really fit and dangerous and will play round 13.

I have stacked my EDG, as I see lots of value there in guys that can step up at the gun level. Have Crichton, Fifita, Lucy, Capewell, Riki.

With KK and Davey unlikely im rethinking my Edge. Would rather have Fifita and Capewell with Riki on the bench than starting with Riki and either Gosi or Host on the bench.
If Capewell is going to rotate and not play 80 then not worth the extra money.

Im sure Sorenson will slip in there at stages. Cant see him missing the 17

Lucy wasn't really unfit last year was he??

Only had 1 game below 60 mins with rest 74 or above, so you're really relying on more attacking stats??

Still think him & Frizell are a rung below Fifita/Crichton/Matterson

Also I'm sure re Frizell I heard Knights assistant on TK podcast saying they're not going to be using him as a battering ram like Dragons, so might lose RM/TB

With a bench of May Eisenhuth Leniu Martin who would you drop for Sorenson? Can only see him getting a shot if there are injuries. Not like he has ever been a locked in first grader

Grant back Round 4, so likely only 3 weeks of 80 min hooker

It certainly ended my interest in Hetherington. Anyone know anything about Faamausili starting at Saints. I’ve never heard of him before.
