NRL Fantasy 2021 - Part 11 - Hookers as far as I can see

Only thing stopping me from picking Reimis is the fact he could be back on the wing next week, or out of the team.

I think he Pap/Host combo nets you 85 +/- points.
Isaako/Welch will not. Isaako/Tino probably will.

Isaako is going to struggle cause the Broncs will struggle. Host may lose his spot to Koloa.

I'd personally hold Paps

Take out sin bin 21pt game last season and Isaako averages 41pts from 5 games at FB and priced at 30pts

That is why I am high on him. His FB average over all is hurt due to the sinbin, one game where the Broncs scored 0 tries. His debut game back in 2017. He should comfortably average 40 points wirh the odd massive game. As long as he doesnt get dropped when the Broncs do shit.

40pts will be difficult with loads of missed tackles then Hasler gets pissed off and drops him next week. That's my fear

Yeah I get that.

My other consideration is Host with a starting 2RF role playing 60-80min in a strong Souths side so can get a few attacking stats.

But getting Host means I drop Milf who I’m not red hot on anyway but the forum is swaying me a bit hahaha

Would have expected 20 minutes, no point having him there for 10. If you can play 70, you can play 80.

One week avatar bet that Smoothy plays closer to 10 mins than 20 mins?

If he lands on 15 then its a push.

Avatar would run from tomorrow til next Friday

I had him before all the injuries at Storm. In the trial was named at starting Prop, Welch bench, with Welch taking Finucane's starting spot at the last minute, with the speculated reasoning that Storm will want one of their captains on the field throughout the match. Every chance NAS retains a starting spot when players return.

I don't think so... I know Finucane was coming off the bench at the back end of last year (Prelim Final and Grand Final) but he was also coming back from injury (R14) so missed like 8 weeks of footy.

Sounds familiar .... like this season, Finucane coming back from injury.

Sure, why not

danseels1985 wrote:Do you guys reckon it’s worth dropping Averillo/Moylan down to Simonsson so I can turn Host into Milf? Surely he can hit 40+ right? And Host JS is questionable. Here is my team atm

Turpin
Tino Watson Lodge
Fifita Riki
Cleary Lam
Bird Roberts
Teddy Laurie Papy

Angus
Brailey
Liddle
Host
Stefano
Niu
Moylan
Averillo

I did something similar. But I don't know if I like it

Hudson Young re-signed till 2024.

Super stoked!

Wait there's actually a player with the name Smoothy?

Damn he must have heard enough Boost Juice jokes in high school to last him a lifetime.

I think I am still leading with Tino as my last pick. As opposed to NAS

Just took Hoy out of my team. Came to the realisation that even with an average of 40 he'll only make 76K by the time Ponga returns.

Ended up grabbing Roberts and swapping Averillo to my Emg. Think this is how I'll run with Avo, Moylan, Niu and Stefano in EMG.

Plus no GK makes that 40 average tougher. Only needs one huge game but far more risk now. I’ve even been considering running an Isaako/Mitchell 3rd WFB option and keeping Laurie as cover

Given the eels draw to start the season, is it not unreasonable to expect matterson to absolutely bang out of the gates? Currently have chosen cheaper options with a higher chance at profit but definitely considering it.

EDIT: also anyone considering Pearce given the knights draw?

Someone I haven' seen mentioned is Jarrod wallace
Reckon he can punch out 40-50mins?
Starting Prop last year he averaged 40pts and 47 minutes and that was a poor year

Career average when playing 40mins+ is 44pts
Maybe a slow burn, priced at 33pts

Bellamy says Smith isn't playing 80. Not seeing a real upside compared with his usual decent minutes lock role.
NAS is my preferred option of the 4, the only one in my team.

Did he? Or did he say he isn't playing 80 at hooker? Not that it makes much difference I guess....

Yep he is a Real Smoothy

Holy shit! Roberts historical average at centre is 39.4 (games over 70 minutes).

He has never averaged below 34 and his best is 43 in 2017....

Has bannered it in 2017 and can also hit scores in the 50's and 60's without tries.

Had a shocker off the bench last year (-2) but being priced at 25 there is hope he can hit those 35+ scores. The bloke is still 28 so the best isn't behind him. Just hope he can stay on the park.

What edge is he on?

Now my team looks exactly like everyone else's. Feck.

I'm in the exact same boat aha. I dont know how I feel about it
