NRL Fantasy 2021 - Part 12 - The Day of Reckoning - Rebirth of the MILF

Exactly. He's dropped the ball once and apart from that, been reasonably solid. Playing his role as expected.

I can't imagine anyone is about to trade rage Damien Cook even though his score is lower than Host's.

Difference is Cook is a GUN and Host is trash mate, can't compare HT scores

You at least know Cook will still be able to match his average over season, Host might not even make next week as a starter

What is difference to last year is my question mate? Obviously he will theoretically get fitter with every match but he's a notorious lazy cunt with a long sample of FB average at his starting price

Ah, gotcha. Is it possible he just finally grew up? Stopped believing he was the next greatest thing? I mean, he was an ultra hyped kid and for some kids that doesn't bode well. He may be case in point

Host hasn't done anything wrong (except one dropped ball). Melbourne have been smashing them in the middle and the left (Souths' right), hence Su'a not Host getting hooked.

Yeah but host ain’t over 800k either... hurts abit more when you have broken to bank for a player to provide as much points as a 300k player.

I really thought would be close game hence trading Papy. Some fool me

Definitely mate, sometimes it clicks, looking at his pre season body type I probably judged his professionalism as shite, its working at the moment. Bodies bouncing off his gut left right and CTR. Disappointed I didn't run through with my threat of him and Milf, only got milf to be part of the cool gang, Latrell and zero bank was a step too far. but got the cash to turn Bird/Roberts into him next week potentially

More making the point that if you were expecting more than a consistent 35 points a week from Host, you were asking a bit much.
Host hasn't played badly to be dropped after one game. I'm not worried. Bigger concern would be a change of direction in the team ie; Murray back to edge and Arrow starting lock.

I liked my team until Storm played 40 mins of footy.

But you don't judge a purchase over 1 game with an Uber gun either. Cooks hurst because of starting price, Host hurts because he could go at any time whilst starting mediocre

I was trying to convince a friend before lockout that Teddy, Paps and Latrell was too WFB heavy
He stuck to his guns and annoyingly, I did manage to convince him to ditch campbell graham.

Host is a notoriously average player in fantasy and real life, Rabbits have plenty to move around as was always the case pre season. If he plays 80 each week I wouldn't worry in the slightest but I personally don't think he will

kinda off-topic but not really, are there a lot more registered teams than there usually is? from memory i thought it usually starts with about 80-90k then goes over 100k as the season progresses, but my memory is notoriously poor.

Remis Smith limping.

#CentreInjuryWatch2021 begins

That’s a pass, game on moles

Went to bed with that WFB, but backed out with zero bank. Win some , lose some but never in first week

Arrow is looking good, seems that niggly injury he has carried for a couple years has disappeared

Niggly injury in shit team sometimes happens

Loving this game. All open and quick footy. Benchies will need to play 20mins atleast. No more 10 - 15min power player.
