NRL Fantasy 2021 Part 16 - To Milf or Not to Milf, that is the question?

What I like about Davey is the fact he's played edge so it's easier to project his scores there mate, he's got a good PPM for a backrower and shown the early ability to offload and break some tackles, that should help him sustain a decent average and avoid the stinkers when no traffic comes his way, but like all edges and I know we go on about doesn't matter about the minutes just the scores but I want him playing 80 to help maintain those non dunce scores. Thompson and Siro played 80 last year so Des has the form for that rotation, but Davey is no Thompson in real life and Manly are stinking so that pack rotation will be up in the air week to week

Will be one of Koala/Davey for me I think this week

Willing worker running lines outside Foran *should* be fantasy gold BUT Manly are looking *so* bad and falls foul of at least half of the "pick good players from good teams" rule of thumb

Will still probably give him a whirl.

Yeah I just don't know about Koala tbh on that Souffs team. They got so many players that can fill into that backrow spot. Also Liam Knight lurking into the reserves this week returning from concussion which could force Murray out to an edge. Also Koala's charity shield game didn't look that inspiring to me either. I think imma take the punt on Davey and see what happens, as you said he has a good PPM for his position and just hope that can continue. Plus I can't really see Des continously shuffling around his backrowers every week, just ruins all the combinations.

Really? I don't see what the problem is personally. My opinion is that if he's good enough he's old enough. And from what I've seen in his 2 games, he is definitely ready.

I don't see the fuss about Koala personally.  

He has never started on an edge in his first grade career. Host sucked but there's no assurances that Walker is suddenly going to start hitting his back-rower with short balls instead of running decoys.  

Future DPP is appealing and he could turn out to be an attacking threat on the edge but too many unknowns for me to look at him and say it's a no brainer pick.

Is Mbye going to play the trendy "small roaming lock" role despite being completely unsuited to it? Or maybe Talau will play a bit of back row.

Talau played backrow when he came on in R1, he'll replace garner at some stage in the game. Mbye is there to give Liddle a spell. That's my read on it.
