NRL Fantasy 2021 Part 28 - Dammit Tino!

Mulvy wrote:Tino 570k next week. Hmm.

He'll be a bit less than that. 530k and broke his BE by 27, so nearer 560k. Gonna be between him and Radley in for Cheese for me, then can upgrade Leniu to anyone bar Haas, probably Moses.

Fifita got 1 ball in space all game and set up a try. The guys inside him did a poor job

Yeah sure. Definitely wasn't up against a good team with good players playing well.

This Tino thing certainly is interesting. I'll be honest and admit I never considered him in any format - not even SC, where it seemed everyone had him. And I try to never make a decision based on a singular big score, but this one's certainly intriguing. Big value purchase there if that's a taste of how he's going to play from here on in.

Can't forget those first three weeks, though. I know others here weren't interested in him either - has this changed other non-believers minds? I'm almost convinced I still won't be swayed, but he certainly put forth a compelling case tonight.

Totally. Wanted him preseason. Him and Moses juicy discount bye players potentially

Yep, I also had Fog and Moses on my short list in preseason. Decent picks imo. Can't help bad luck.

I really love avoiding popular player early like Tino because if he blanks a few weeks loads will sell him and common psychology for most is I've sold for loss so won't buy back. That makes him desirable

It's not so much the big score (although, that get's the price rises moving and means you can't really wait if you're getting him), it's the role. Huge minutes and if he's playing prop while Peachy is at lock, it means Peachey aint stealing his minutes. It's not chasing points if you're buying him for sound reasons.

Townsend 76
Moylan 41
Hampton 28

Think that's all the fantsy-relevant players in that game.

A players scoring/role is what makes them desirable, NOT the trade ins or outs of the masses.

Everyone knows Tino was capable of those scores, usually with tries but a 70 minute stint changes the outlook because he’ll get the additional tackles and attacking opportunity

Tino made so many more tb's and I'm convinced it's because he got to play the end of the half when defence was fatigued. Well that and the lad seems to really get up for big games, he's a joy to watch even if I have to do it between my fingers cause I'm worried what he's doing to us. Sold him to bring in Fifi and im not too upset with the decision. Hard to know what his minutes look like week to week in terms of the rotation so I'll back the decision.

Yup, a great team with sound fundamentals can stop or at the very least contain a sides best player with ease. Fifita is an absolute weapon and can get the better of anyone but he beat up on the Donkey and Boys who have been woeful to start the season

Nooooo I bought Hampton to beat Niu 29

I think Simo can fuck off for Walker next week. No way this prick is getting a try this year.

Cannot wait for next week. Think we'll be right up for the Panthers game and should be entertaining as fuck. Papa v JFH, Hudson+Smelly vs Capewell+Kikau, Wighton vs Luai, Williams vs Cleary, Too vs Rapa? Keeeeen

Raiders actively avoid that side in attack. Surprised Fifita got that many tackles tbh

We don't avoid any side. We just have halves who don't mind running it, 2nd rowers the same, FB the same and ctrs also. Unless you look for work all the time like Rapa you naturally won't see that much ball because if one of the guys inside sees an opportunity they take it.
That's why Fifi got the tackles he did, would have been on the likes of Hudson or Kris or CNK etc.

He averages 27 and has scores of 34, 28, 25, 43, 32 and 59 even when scoring one try (did score two once). A lot has to go right for him to make money even if he scores a try. I sold him last week. He'll eventually make some money. Could be two-thirds of the way through the season though.

Same team? Same score here.

Be disappointed if I don't get 1100 from here. Averages have me at 1,098.

10c/731. Up around 3000 places so far this week.
