NRL Fantasy 2021 Part 21 - Cleary (C) Papenhuyzen (VC)

robelgordo wrote:As a desperate Dragons fan I’ve already decided Andrew Fifita is 100% coming to the club, probably in the next 5-10 business days, and therefore Alvaro and Merrin are a waste of a trade. They will both regress to approximately 30 mins as Fifita takes some of their minutes and all of their attacking stats.

Is this just hope, or is there actually something happening?

Drop bears get their name cuz they drop from trees on to victims and go for their necks etc

I know Krispy Kreme love him for keeping them in business.

I watched the 2nd half last week & Merrin was very good & looked very fit & eager. However he had 2 hia's according to scout & scout said he was in a bit of doubt this week so keep an eye out.

Fifita will forever be in my heart, that try in the 2016 GF is imprinted in my mind, adamant no one else gets over the line but him.

Dragons are keen, and Fifita wants to play first grade - it’s been in the Sydney papers and nrl.com. But don’t think there’s been talks between the clubs yet. So it may not happen for months, or at all

Why would the Dragons want A. Fifita with all the middle forwards they have. They have so many Kerr is being played in 2fr.

I think Titans should get Fifita but he'll be out of NSW cup and in the QLD cup. It'll be Panthers or Dragons

Merrin out would be great for Alvaro, 50+ minutes

Maybe they just want a whole team of mids, like how Des seems to be working toward a whole team of halves, and the broncos were 75% 2rfs for a while a few years back.

Because all the middle forwards are pretty average or very inexperienced players except Vaughan. They don’t have a decent replacement for McInnes or even De Belin who has been on the sidelines two years. Also the entire team lacks experience - I think we have about 5 players with 100 games of NRL.

If Sharks can get some of the Fifita money of their books plus with Xerri now off their books too they might be able to strengthen an area they need like the outside backs.

I think it’s win, win, win for the player and both clubs tbh

Surely Alvaro is Polar Bear Jr. He ain't no Ben Hannant.

We have to go back to 2015 for the last time it happened, Gillett with exactly 40 average from 26 games.

Cameron Smith averaged just over 40 tackles per game for his career, madness to expect Schuster to go close to that

Why is everyone going on about 40 tackles? He doesn't need to make 40 tackles every week. He's a cow not a gun. 35s will get us through

Does papi stay out longer than 1 week? Sorry if this was already covered

Yeah, will be reversing for sure.

I won’t have the option to reverse so yeah it’s a problem

He should have thought about that before he made the 40 tackles.

The bar has been set.

Definitely. Lock it in.

Bit of news in tiger land. Chammas usually spot on with tigers news.

Michael Chammas just reported on channel 9 that WT management team met with Jackson Hastings management today and are confident of securing an early release for him this season.
