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

How is Riki's defence? Pretty good I think from what I've seen? Just thinking could be good for tackle numbers on that right edge (riki, milf, niu) if it is targeted as long as they don't miss too many. Does Riki offer good enough protection for Milf?

From what I've seen he is pretty involved in defense, but yeah, major question marks over how well that edge combines. Anyone beside Milford is usually in a bit of a trouble. Just look at Glenns missed tackles over the last few years trying to cover for Milford.

Guys, Brad Deitz is someone who was in another profession a month ago, and needs special permission to be named in first grade because he's not actually part of the squad and the regular starter is injured. Of course mattnz is interested in him.

if Dylan Walker does play fullback, anyone interested?

He's cheap, but I am not sure he'd excel there. As the rumour was he'd be named in centres but play fullback, I am not sure how you would know anyway where he will play.

I hate to break it to you, because I'm enjoying TK's podcasts, but those guys aren't experts....

What foot do Croft and Dearden kick with?

Tempted given his price. Hasn't really played good footy in the last couple of years though, or at least that I've noticed, so I'm not sure I want him.

Both right foot

Thanks

It was from a guy on Manly forum who they all seem to think is connected. Either way, don't think I could bring myself to pull the trigger on picking Walker.

The pre-TLT tilt hype is real around here!

Staying silent until TLT. My one prediction:

Cameron Smith named #18 for Broncos.

I'm thinking of taking a punt on Andrew Fifita. Just feel a fantasy comeback coming. No evidence to back that up tho.

After not even wanting to remotely consider Milford thus far he's found his way into my team today...Need my head checked

ATM I'm on him. Fullback couldn't hurt, he's DPP and priced well (plus I don't have any more cash).

If he can get a regular 40-50 mins of footy, he could get a bit of a bump.
But saying that, I can't really see him get those minutes regularly with the current Sharks forward pack.

Figured I'd post my team on here pre TLT just to tempt the fantasy gods in to dogging me.

BS9
Lodge, Watson, Crichton
Matterson, D. Fifita
Lam, Munster
Averillo, Jimmy the Jet
Brimmy, Moylan, Teddy

J. Brailey, Kolo, Liddle, Crocker
Stefano, Simonsson, Riki, Niu

I don't think Cook is worth his price tag if Benji is going to be coming on playing dummy half. That's assuming Benji will take minutes from him, I'm not sure anyone really knows where Benji will be playing. I'm personally very tempted to run Koro over Tedesco.

In my 18-21

Nice team, not too shabby.
Not sure if Stefano and Simonsson are your best options for the EMG bench, but I assume they are placeholders for whoever pops up this afternoon.
