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

I’m not settled on it, but I’ve been trying to squeeze Koro in.

Think there’s maybe 7-8 guaranteed 60+ scorers. Three of them are hookers. One of them is injured, one has doubts about his running game, and one seems guaranteed 80 mins for the best team in the comp.

In seriousness though, one of my last decisions is between Crichton and Koroisau, with similar scores the calculation is whether non-Origin or DPP is more useful. (Given I don't really need MID cover but do need EDG, suppose I could get best of both worlds and go for Matterson, but that feels wrong).

Yeah that was redhot tonight. Great television

@Jumping Marlin  that's brilliant mate, absolutely love it.

In a field (the Rugby League press) not short of scumbags, Rothfield stands out a mile as the worst of the lot. He's even the second worst Sharks fan, which says a lot.

It's going to feel so much better like it always does, putting a team together post 1st TLT tomorrow evening over a fave beverage. At the moment I am very discontent with the team, it will be sweet though.   Night all.

How did this team happen

(B)mith Asofa-Solomona Welch
Fifita (VC) Harris (C)

Even if Mitchell adds +8 to his fullback average its only 45 and he needs upgrading

more likely to be under 18 stone by mid season IMO

I am keen to see if Holmes gets named at fullback.

He’s sort of flown under the radar with all the Teddy, Pap, Isaako, Hoy and Laurie chatter!

Out of these 2 if you had to pick one who do you pick....

UV Latrell
DV Holmes

Don't you like Latrell Welshy?

I love this 24 hours, the doubts start to creep in, the rationales become more frayed, and your team starts to eat itself until by tomorrow afternoon you think how the fuck did I get here?
Press clear and start again...

What account/password is this asking for ?

I had to create a new one - I think it's considered gambling (there's a few 18+ warnings/checks) so I guess the standard NRL account isn't usable since there's kids with access to that.

It’s a ploy to get a sneaky POD in

I did, immense talent but I can't back lack of professionalism. Plus he's a dirty, mental midget, grub cunt.

Would love to see him put his foot down and become the player he was mooted.

I'd say he's flown under the radar because everything suggests Drinkwater is favourite for the role.

If Holmes does get named at 6, I'd assume interest would spike again.

There's a whole host of players people aren't interested in because they assume they won't get a start. If things fall different to expectations tomorrow, then a bunch of new names will start appearing in teams.

I did 100% consider him mate even yesterday, but like I said would probably be a stretch that he averaged near 45 and would still need upgrading

Not available in CTR anymore where I would of put him

100% this

Just chucked Crichton, added Cleary, dumped Cleary, Added Lolo, chucked Lolo, added Lolo, checked Teddys stats, re-checked Munsters

Trying to get a huge airline tender out as well

I reckon Holmes will be named at 1 and Drinky 6. That’s my prediction!

Then Morgan will get named in my team
