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

Milchcow wrote:I've settled now on running with Hoy

For the Knights, first 4 games are against easier teams on paper. 3 at home and one on the Central Coast. I think odds are good enough that he can pump out one decent score before Ponga comes back to give him a decent enough pice rise.

Just 1 spot to go in my team now
Who is the best player available under $400k? (that isn't Liddle, Hoy, Averillo, Bird, Roberts, Laurie, Croker Riki, Lodge, Host, Watson - Holy shit! Milford at $427k is my 7th most expensive player (edit 8th, Lam is a bit more then Milfmeister) )

2RFs get a preference to reduce reliance on Host.

I do have to say he looks a lot fitter than at the start of 2020. He could do well, but I'm sure he'll have some quiet games at some stage

Yeah I think you’re right. I’m hoping his floor is going to be consistently higher than the past couple of seasons.

I still don't like Turpin in my 17, but probably can't do anything about it

Could see Averillo become useless very quickly

The down-dates were disappointing; but 1 MT was a diving attempt to stop Papy in the corner (no points for effort) and he had a Turnover taken away too. Looking for a silver lining, Melbourne attacked Souths right edge so he was less involved in defence. Also, the lopsided first half and heap of errors kept the ball out of play. Souths also look to favour the left edge in attack so there's a good chance he'll find himself in on some attacking plays in the future - he had one decent run towards the end of the game close to the line. A game against Manly offers better prospects next week. These are the things we must tell ourselves to keep down the rage-trade instincts.

To be honest, all the cheap 2RFs apart from Riki are just waiting for Admiral Akbar to scream a warning of some kind. At least Host plays in a decent team.

The Mayor.

Yep, FOMO on Tex too. And to your earlier post, don't like Turpin in my 17 either.

Nothing too much - maybe 2 or 3 tries and an 80min role secured for the rest of the year....

Anything more than that is a bonus.

If he needs a rest becomes Jurbo playing 30 mins at hooker in about a minute is classic

Don’t reach because you should’ve started Croker over NAS

I'm very close to going Turpin to Lam.

I still think they'll do the player swap (Napa) when Thompson is back in round 5 (or sooner if they are confident in the other middles in the early rounds.)

Des really does think absolutely anyone can play hooker, doesn't he?

Plenty you can do MS. He’s not cheap like a Liddle mate.
At 530k if you don’t think he has #9 or #14 capability in your team, jog that boy on

He didn't have a run for over 30 minutes at one stage of the game and in that time had about 6 dummy runs. Bloke is in the team to just run dummies clearly.

The fact he lost the forced turnover is a joke considering one of Welch's was when the Bunnies player ran into Hughes and Welch got the forced turnover
