NRL Fantasy 2021 Part 40 - Fifita Beast Mode

Only saw him in the preseason trials and certainly passed the eye test.  Seemed to have some slick ball playing too.

Similar career path to Drinkwater spending most of his juniors in the halves before moving to fullback. His play style seems like a perfect fit for the modern game as a fullback. Think he is probably more of a 2022 option

Love him as a player and I'm sure his team mates do as well. Always doing the 1 percenters that don't show up on the stats sheet

As a Roosters fan I'm bloody worried about today as well. Dragons are going to be rearing and ready to go I don't understand why the market is favouring us so much. Historically this ANZAC clash has been super tight. 3/5 of the last games have been within 2 points.

Didn't see it mentioned but Matterson played full game in NSW cup with no concerns

Should’ve gone to the Hamptons. Maintains the half spot and could be the 2nd best CTR behind Peachey.

We always knew CHN had talent but really liked the look of him last night.

Verrills, CHN, Burns, Blore all on the radar in the short term for those peaking cows

Seems like sticky has too many options with his forward depth.

I agree. It's not only a problem for Fantasy; IRL players may work harder to lock down a place in the run-on team, but chopping and changing dilutes the effectiveness of combinations, especially in defensive lines, and blunts what was a very potent attack.

Young / CHN / Sutton / James / Tapine / Horse etc. lots of good players but they need to have consistency.
Of course if the Raiders get any injuries or Latrell level suspensions, they'll be fine.
Sticky can just rotate the chairs and maintain first grade level forwards.

Can't believe we got given access to the secret Moderator vault

Don’t play coulda shoulda with centres, that is a dark road.

Speaking of dark roads, Levi and Tohu have put a sour note on what should have been a gap closing week for me. Thought I had managed the carnage mostly unscathed, was a little cut up about Turpin and Levi, but Tino to Tohu locking me out of a late reverse has triggered me considerably. I remember watching Tohu during the game last week and thinking he looked a bit crook but didn’t even think of it again. Blegh

That's good news. I thought they were only going to let him play half the game. He must have felt good.

I really think he needs to try to stick with some rotations. Too much change is a problem... and Croker

What are people's thoughts on the Storm v Warriors game? Think Warriors can keep it close? Tohu has been the best on field for them this year (IMO)

Well yeah ... there's the problem of Croker.
What does he do with a club legend, and club captain who is no longer as effective as he once was?
Loyalty says keep playing Croker, rational says put the best team on the paddock.

I mentioned it last night, but I feel like we're gonna get pasted. Tight first half then the Storm run away with it in the second. I HOPE it doesn't happen of course, but losing Tohu when we've already lost AFB leaves a lot of slack for Tevaga et al to pick up

Unexpected results have happened already. I have Manly as my upset pick this round. I think it’s a close game at ht, but storm eventually win by 18.

I think another week in ressies tough just to be sure.

Seems like it was a busy night on the forum...

Grant has a reasonably high BE if Bellamy decides to cut him loose
