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

I'd be happy to have the Simonsson Express but he's only WFB and I want that sweet DPP action to cover the plebs at CTR (its going to be either Reimus or Niu). I think Simonsson probably scores better than Niu.

You still going with Momo?

I'm warming to the idea that the DRagons will run out with Vaughan/Kerr at prop, Lawrie "lock", and Fui at right edge.

Not really based on anything other than it makes the most sense, but this is Griffin..

Christ things really are grim for the dragons this year aren't they

I can't. He looks garbage and can't see making any money in EMG let alone points in 17

The more I think about it the hornier I am for a milf in my team. Surely a > chance to get +10 points average than Sitili, and Host is at a price where I'm happy to whack him as 18th man for when Robinson rests Crichton R2 against the tigers

I'm not against him but at this stage he misses the cut for the cheaper alternative, Averillo. Just gave me a few more dollars to 'bolster' the 18-21. I figured its a coin toss between the two for scoring.

2nd CTR, position 17 (sitili), and position 20 (ctr/wfb) and 21 (need a mid) on my roster are basically the spots i'm juggling options. The other 17 spots are pretty much locked in.. i think.

Sort of comes down to

2nd CTR - Averillo/Momo/whoever else (opacic?). I dont really care who.
17 - Sitili.. or someone else around that price point
20 - Reimus/Niu .. dont know if there was another option, needs to cover ctr tho
21 - Fui??/Leniu/another 300k ish mid/Stefano. If Fui he *may* be a playable 17 guy, but also proably a trap.

maybe worrying about coverage in every position is not really worth it given early trades will change things up anyway.

Anyone know how David Mead scored in Super League? I think I would prefer him to Saab, but I have nothing really to go off at all

Have you considered Lodge instead of Sitili?

Yeah, I'm about the same. Could have really, really done with that CTR DPP in my earlier workings today. Now it's back to Niu, which I don't really want to do and I'd love that extra 17K (I think that's the difference).

I have Lodge in the mids, happy to lock him in, for better or for worse.

My bad, I thought you sacrificed Teddy for some certainty in the forwards

I’ve got both and don’t really want either!

But overall I feel a lot happier with the options this year than same time last year.

I can't buy into Milf over Lam or Townsend. Just looked at Milf last 3 games last season at 5/8 for 80 mins. Kicking metres over 300 best 424m for a high score of 33

Updated my team again gotta stop reading this forum FML pretty happy with the team tho think it’s the most solid yet out of the ones ive seen/put together

Where’s the love for Sitili coming from? He’s a 35 point player without tries

Adrianoooo wrote:Where’s the love for Sitili coming from? He’s a 35 point player without tries

Tries are a base stat for him. He absolutely loves it and this is his opportunity to solidify himself as a starting asset in the absence of Cordner (who I believe will retire if his bad luck with concussions continues). There's a youtube highlight reel with distorted drill music with 1.7k views that proves he's a certified beast

Just some lovely feelings, solid role for at least the first half of the season. Keighran to go to centre in case of emergency, maturing as a player, strong team....stats aren't great but I'm inclined to take a gut bet on this one

A) it's Mead vs Saab, neither will blow your socks off and B) its super league, oranges and apples to NRL.

That being said, Mead is reliable albeit uninspiring, Saab is a highlight reel waiting to happen. Both play for garbage teams so the question comes down to who is less garbage-y

Adrianoooo wrote:Where’s the love for Sitili coming from? He’s a 35 point player without tries

I don't get it. He looks great to watch but doesn't translate into fantasy points especially without tries

I missed the Reimis DPP update. Is it overkill to run both Reimis & Niu in EMG + Averillo & Roberts starting?

I like him about as much as Simonsson/Croker/Gos who I was also tossing up, and more CTR cover doesn't hurt.

Tries are never a base stat for anyone, even the tedescos etc of the game. Saying as much is purely attempting to justify a perceived "incline in role" to suit our own agendas.

His pros are that he works hard and puts himself in great positions to score tries, has a good motor and is a young guy in a position to grow further into a role and therefore make decent points and/or money.

Cons are, teams have had time to work him out a bit more, more tape available etc and he is likely to see a bit more attention from opposition's this year.

The pros outweigh the cons? Probably. But with the tries inflating his price, if he doesn't grab a meat pie 2 outta three weeks he's gonna be priced around his average.
