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

Funny how Storms stop getting their calls without Smitheree  

okbye

What do we make of Egans score last week? Small sample size of 4, but last season in those minutes he's only looking at a 48 average.

Not sure why I went with JFH. Also, not sure why he went from a nearly respectable 45. To a ball crushing 38

I think with Smith there he dives on the ball before the Capewell try and its all over before that point. Was good to see Belly call that out, was gobsmacked watching it as it seemed so non-storm like. Shit like that in the juniors had you spending the first half hour of training doing nothing but diving on a loose ball over and over as a team. Its also why guys like Lui and Whitehead have a much bigger impact on our team than stats often show, those two are always there in those kind of moments for us. Rubs off on others too. Its probably half the reason (other than the obvious) teams like broncos are down too as I'm struggling to think right now of who would be those players in that team. Maybe Staggs?

Will take trading NAS to Fifita as a win.
Momo just finds a way to score well so happy with that pick.
Welch taking fantasy tips from NAS is not the way forward

Haha, that's a new one at least. What's your excuse?

Oooh, Oooh, i know this one!
Its a requirement for the mod position.

Pretty happy with last nights scores

Welch and Munster combined for 111 points nothing to see here

Leniu slow burning his way into a bigger role and seems to be getting 2 stints a game now. Pretty telling that he came back on for Leota with the game on the line

Still only had 27 minutes, with 2 injuries leading to May not playing in his normal MID rotation due to moving to fullback. If there was a game for him to get more minutes, this was it, but it didn't happen.

I just took it as a 55.5 average and smiled

He had his knee buckled back and also went off with a shoulder complaint. Maybe he went off earlier because of these. It hard to know. What we do know is he looks like a very good footballer with tackle busting ability. Great for fantasy. Minutes will come.

Kids a gun. I do think Cleary will keep him as a bench impact role though but hopefully as someone said last night, easier games he can get some more minutes with JFH and Yeo taking back seats.

He went off with shoulder injury. Went down tunnel came back warmed it up and went back on with 3 to go with game on line. They love him

Mate, he wouldn't have come off early without that ugly tackle then a shoulder complaint.

Are you ready for disagreement yet? That's because *he* got injured.

I expected Yeo to play 80 in this game and at a guess, May would have spelled Kenny at hooker. Actually expected both JFH and Yeo to get big minutes so surprised with JFH's big rest in the middle

Eisenhuth came on after 21 minutes, Leniu not until 29 minutes. Is clearly the senior player getting on for Leota, with more minutes. Leniu doesn't come on until much later when JFH comes off and gets less minutes than Eisenhuth, especially when May isn't used elsewhere as he has been in weeks 1 and 3 to cover injuries, and is in the MID rotation instead like in week 2.

Yep, I think Yeo will play 80 in every big game they play. Gets a rest when its not against a top side.

Panthers have plenty of options so rotations are going to change every week though.

May didn't spell Kenny last week, played 80, with May playing as a MID.

If Brisbane beat them next week it would be an amazing game (or a really, really, shit one)

If Brisbane beat the Storm next week I will take half the week off and celebrate like we won the GF, because that is how monumental it would be.
