Nrl Fantasy 2021 Part 44 - Why are people so unkind

Rippin and Tearin wrote:If Walsh does continue to start, and Brown doesnt do anything stupid like playing RTS somewhere other than fullback, what are the options for CHT and Niko? Niko looks to be a nice partner for Walsh, so are we saying CHT plays of the bench? Or are some of you thinking that Niko will be good with starting at Hooker and all 4 start?

it won't happen, because although wildly inconsistent, he seems to be entrenched in the halves now and also NRL teams are trending away from split-time hookers, but I maintain that Niko's best position has always been 14, he'd be at his most dangerous in an equal or even greater time-share with Egan, bringing him on after the early wrestle to zip around the ruck against tiring forwards.

Manly: Schuster? Taupau?
Canberra: Rapana?
Souths: Graham, ARey, Cody?
NQ: Lolo?
Bulldogs: Averillo? Thompson?
Roosters: Walker? Manu, SST?, Sitili
Sharks: SJ? Ramien
Warriors: Tohu, RTS

All the question marks are marginal, and petty much only Tohu and maybe Manu and RTS who are gold-plated, best-in-position guns.

People keep saying R13 is hard but as you’ve pointed out there appear to less possible R17 guns available. Plus with R13 there’s still time to have players and trade then after, less so at R17

Agree with this

1. RTS
6. Walsh
7. CHT
9. Egan

14. Niko

Would be my preference. Won't happen though.

18 year olds have good games and bad games, get fatigued more and make worse in game decisions than experienced players. He will get more game time for sure but he is not a lock.

Don't think age has anything to do with it, i mean look at Walker. Agreed CHT is higher on the pecking order, but im sure Brown will make a spot for him somewhere in the backline.

Sounds like a lot of people haven't seen a little film called Braveheart. That's OK I forgive you

Anyone giving Suaalii much of a chance of coming in? Most likely Ikuvalu I guess.

Niko has played off the bench only twice for the Warriors and that was in his first two games.
Since Blake Green left, he has become the experienced, dominant half.

No way they move him to hooker or to the bench.

CHT is 22 and Walsh is 18. One of them will either miss out completely or play bench/out of position.

Warriors to split the time between cht and Egan I believe

A possibility the Titans replace Thommo with the tackle busting machine Greg Marzhew

Aitken a CTR option assuming he’s back by then

Walker is a couple of years older and their hand was forced by injury. Note how he played Lam ahead of walker at seasons start. It could be that Walsh continues to play but I doubt they are benching anyone (I mean regular first graders not SOS) for him.

He is a great talent but kids burn out if overplayed in their teens....Brown knows this

I could, of course, be wrong

Yeah I'm going all out for round 13 (aiming for a full 17)
Round 17 is going to be rubbish, i will try and get 8-10 decent players on the park for that one.

Sorry Chewie, drunk thumb

Probably my most rewatched movie behind only Dances with Wolves.

I reckon Suaali comes into the teamlist this week.

Ideally hoping for a base cow to pop up (preferably Blore ) so I can do Alvaro + Uto to Moses + 246k with 1k left

Failing that I'm probably going to ditch Roberts for Walsh because honestly what's the point of holding him for 10 points in R13

Yep until Herbert is back.

I balanced it out for you.

Mate, you are speaking my language. Love a bit of Kev or Mel. (each picked up 2 Oscars for those films).
