NRL Fantasy 2021 Part 30 - Where the points are made up.

I have just had a lengthy discussion with someone at work (cowboys supporter) and we have come up with a solution for next year. Cowboys should have some decent money next year with Molo, Clifford, McGuire all on their way out next year and now Morgan retiring. Drinkwater is on his last year of his contract so I am sure they will want to lock him up and then guys like Granville, O’Neill, Hampton, possibly Jensen may not get re-signed. So they should have some money. If they can get Reynolds I reckon they could get him for about 650K a year if they are gonna offer 3 years. Then cows can use the lure of Reynolds, Val, Lolo, Drinkwater to lure more players. I think Dearden can be signed pretty cheaply but I reckon they need another damaging middle as their backs are okay and can be worked with. Guys like Fitzgibbon, Jazz, Capewell, Watson are all off contract next year and I think can be signed around the middle of the pack. We also think that Lolo needs to move to an edge. He needs to be running at halves and smaller second rowers/centres instead of running at guys like Yeo, RCG, Paulo, Taupau, Jurbo. Line up next year

Drinkwater, Val, Esan, Hamiso, Feldt, Dearden, Arey, McLean, Robson, Burr, Hess, Taumalolo, Jazz/Watson, Cotter, other, other, other

Sure if you want a red dot for another possibly 6 weeks, a risk buying someone injured
It's not like injuries take longer to heal sometimes or have setbacks (which is currently happening in this situation)
Will need to get back up to match fitness and was technically meant to be already back a couple weeks ago

This was yesterdays update

That's sad.  His 2015 flick pass to Feldt will live on forever.

Would free up a tonne of ARey Mbye money though.

Isn’t he still suspended next week?

"That's what we're trying to get our head around, what's best for the long-term future, not only of Tommy but also the Broncos," Walters said.

Honestly, it's not that hard. Croft isn't a first-grade player.
Dearden is inexperienced, but he does have some talent.

I'm not a Broncos fan, but he looks like the sort of player that would can mistakes, dust-off, work hard, and try again (especially with guidance from a former elite half) - gradually he'll build confidence and learn to better manage match situations and "take control of the team" - just let him do it without a back-up half on the bench - which basically says, this guy is here for when you fail...

Cronk made plenty of mistakes and wasn't a great half when he started... just saying, you've got to at some point take the training wheels off and give these guys a chance to succeed, or at least learn to succeed... even if it takes 8+ years (I'm looking at you Luke Brooks)

Have to agree. If i was in charge Croft would go back to reserve grade. Dearden may not work out either, but its doing him no good to fill his head with worry about being subbed/dropped next week.

Id probably look at
1 niu 2 isaako 3 farnworth 4 copley (til staggs) 5 coates 6 milford 7 dearden

Copley sucks but he has plenty of experience at centre and can at least help there defensively.. maybe... ?

Put pangai back on an edge to bully one side of the park

Asiata start at lock and link the middle.

Glenn bench/fuck off.

Play a paix or hetherington as utility.

Brinf kennedy in for flegler until flegler learns to stop being useless

I agree-ish. Dearden looks like he has some potential and remember he is only like 19 years old! The kid looks like he can go somewhere. Kempy made a really good point recently and I think it is pretty spot on. Broncos under Kevvy this year have shown they will at least put in for 80 minutes. Yes they are getting beat and quite convincingly but their attitude is still there for 80 minutes. If the Broncos can keep this young crop of guys together for another 2-3 years they will be very dangerous in a few years time. Think about Haas, Carrigan, Isaako, Dearden, TPJ, Riki, Flegler, Herbie, Kotoni, Coates all having playing 70-100 games together, coming into or already in their prime and adding hopefully a few of your journeyman who are there to mentor these kids still and just be those role players. Broncos have a crop that can play footy and have plenty of potential! Hang in there

I would honestly drop Milf ahead of Croft, while Croft is shit, at least he busts a gut for the team, while Milf is super lazy.

Let Milf go back to reggies and bully teams for a few weeks to get his confidence back, then bring him back in.

This is crazy talk. Croft is detrimental to the team and has no ability. I'll take the lazy game breaker over the no hoper all day every day
