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

If Simpkin is on the bench for the tigers, where's Mbye? Or did they mean Simpkins?

That's some interesting gear. I've kind of gone off him anyway, but Ford not even in the 17? Surely that wouldn't be so, would it?

I don't believe so, surely he gets in over Ellis. His defence is the real problem which could hold him out.

Nah the hooker Simpkin.

He has Mbye out due to injury. He will most likely be fit though.

Got a side with everyone I want in it pre TLT coming along and throwing a grenade in the middle of it:

Cheese,
Welch, Tino, Watson
Fifita, Riki
Cleary, Lam
Averillo, Roberts
Teddy, Pappy, Laurie

Angus, JBrailey, Hoy, Liddle
Faamausili, Nui, Stefano, 228k.

Must be going off of Simpkin Instagram. Players saying congrats which was for him putting his gf on social media. Then Billy Walters saying congrats two debuts in one week.

Thought this was an interesting read with GK stats and likely goalkickers for the season

Do Liddle and Simpkin share the mins, or does it go something like 50/30?

Who are your PODs? I've got:

SST
Ofahengaue
Momirovski
Milford
LAM
Asiata

Was surprised SST was only 7 percent and really excited to follow Milford and Momirovski who are at 3 and 4 percent ownership.

Hey guys, anyone want to join my draft league for a bit of fun? Will be on around 9pm on Tuesday (TLT). It’s a bit late but I’m busy with my daughter and work so that’s when I’ll be free. Code is: SJY46JV5

If Mbye is either injured or in 6, the risk is too high that Simpkin goes missing for weeks with Mbye at 14. Would have been locked into my side otherwise.

At least to start the season, I think Liddle gets more minutes. Simpkin quite possible to be given more time as the season goes on, assuming he develops as the Tigers hope he does.

I heard rumours today.
Dylan Walker named at Ctr but shifting to fullback on gameday.

I read that somewhere too. Was hoping Schuster may get a crack at it.

I currently have him in my team but might switch to Opacic simply because the latter is in a much better team.

Main one is Paulo at the moment. Priced at 50, I think he can average 55-60 this season going by Arthur's comments about him last week.

Walker at FB, Harper at Ctr.
I think Foran will get first crack at 5/8.
Schuster on the bench?

Yeah if at 14 would seriously consider him. Would think a guy with his size and talent would be versatile enough to play anywhere in the back line, or even on an edge, but seems to be seen as a specialist 6.

Capewell will be on Cleary's side, correct? He has found his way into my team, but I know the Panthers preferred Luai's side last season with Kikau on it. Wondering if he can get up to a 50 average this season.

Yes is on Cleary's side, but in the trial switched to left edge while Kikau was rested.

Hey All, first year of fantasy for me and am keen on hearing thoughts around how much you should have in the bank when choosing your first team? I've managed to pull together the below team which I like, however, there is only $1k left. I could swap out BMM for someone like Lodge to give me a few more spare $$'s. Thoughts?

Cook
BMM,Watson,LAM
Fifita, Riki
Cleary, Lam
Roberts, Bird
Hoy, Teddy, Pappy

Crichton, Brailey, Averillo, Liddle

Niu, Laurie, Utoikamanu, Stimson (or any other $246k)
