NRL Fantasy 2021 Part 48 - How about those cheapies hey?

I don't think it matters, he would play the same way regardless.

Flegler is a gamble on form. Kennedy is a gamble on mins.

Gamble is a gamble on gamble

I think physically he is fine its more just form/consistency/confidence. He's no different to any other big man going around.

He's still only 22. I had sort of written him off but he might just take a bit more time.

I don't really understand the push to move Lodge on. He's reportedly on 700k so if we move him on I'm sure we have to probably pay 300k of that anyway.. and we're left a prop short.

Maybe last year during the covid break he didn't work hard on his fitness so he came back not prepared. Maybe he thought I'm ripping it up in the first 2 games & became over confident then when things didn't happen he lost a bit of confidence. Certainly the basic errors he was making like dropping easy passes was hard to understand & he was a completely different player pre to post covid. But last week he made 1 run which reminded me of his pre-covid form. He's only young so he just has to work hard on his fitness & skills & he'll improve.

Be interested to see how the eels situation plays out hopefully for the warriors sake and every other club that followed the recommendation they are denied there exemptions

Think there will be a few cows named today for Tigers but I'll probably wait a week on all of them. No good trading in a player for round 13 only for them to be playing reserve grade that week

I think the start of last year had more to do with missing blokes like Glenn, Lodge, Pangai etc.

He was pretty solid after that just didn't get the minutes.

This year, I like that he has seemingly bulked up (which I personally think suits the faster paced game) - just needs to cut out some of the basic errors.

In Carrigan's absence, I'll be interested to see who steps up out of Flegler, Kennedy and Bullemor.
Flegler probably the front runner, Kennedy probably has a similar style to Carrigan and Bullemor the smokey (but may be more suited to impact off the bench).

If they grant Parra an exemption, its pretty much the end of COVID bubble. Why would other clubs follow the NRL rules if they don't actually get applied.

I didn’t realise Flegler was still only 22. A lot of middles take time to develop. I think he’ll end up playing Origin

I don’t really get why Parra rolled the dice like that.

Yeah that makes sense can they field a team without an exemption ?

Obviously has a long way to go to get to that level but he gives me Shane Webcke vibes in play style

I think I'll wait and see how the forward rotations and minutes play out before trading one in.

Just googled it, actually only 21 still.

He’s only 9 months older than Stefano and about a year on Leniu. Those guys have been bought in slowly, minutes managed, and Flegler has already played nearly 50 NRL games with some big ones in there. Probably underrated when you consider that

On the Tigers team, the only player that can really replace Cini is Talau. They don't have any other fit wingers in the 30 man squad.

If you listen to Tigers fans, getting Mbye out of centre, and Brooks out of halfback are the priority, but not sure if Maguire will drop 2 of his higher profile players, so Cini probably going to get the chop.

Surely Blore must be getting close to getting a run though. hopefully its as starter and not eased in off the bench.

Gildart to tigers next year confirmed apparently

Whispers Sam Walker is out

No Lam & Sam?

Walker out would be unsatisfactory
