NRL Fantasy 2021 Part 74 - Lolo Locomotive

Dufty to bulldogs sounding like a done deal

Cam had 2 in 2013

Even more impressive then.  

McInnes is a great shout.  McCullough is another one who has been a solid performer for a long, long time without ever hitting the heights - but not sure he belongs in a conversation about the top tier fantasy players over the years?

Haven't really seen any further evidence of a rift between the two. His output is down, whether that's evidence that he's kicking stones because of a falling out or whether he's just a bit down on form I don't know.

He’s down a few minutes and certainly hasn’t appeared his old destructive self but the last couple of weeks have been promising. I don’t think it’s the speed of the game, I wonder if he’s just been taking a while finding his confidence after the hand injuries. Maybe his fend hasn’t been as strong, worried about re-injury etc. Little off the pace, either mentally or physically combined with a few less minutes and he’s almost human again.

Recent is probably best.
Have a feeling Cam bannered in a finals match but never in the regular season

Cheers @easytiger
Trades this week were Tohu > AFB for Mid cover
Sualli > Manu in the centres.

Didn't think there was any other Fantasy relevant news.
No one has Arrow...do they??

For the record, I'm not advocating Centre-trading.

I get it for cashing out or upgrading an excess Centre, and I'd happily sideways trade Centres if we were given 60 trades per season.
But in my opinion it seems a bit likely to end up a regrettable/high-risk low-reward type trade - especially given that ALL Centre's are capable of putting up a 20 or so score in any given round.

Disclaimer: I traded Bird (to Lolo), but only because I had excess CTR cover and decided I wanted to back the great one (big Vaai)

The Daily Telegraph is reporting Kyle Flanagan has been axed from the team before kick-off, with Lachlan Lewis brought into the halves.

Looking at it from another perspective, who is the WORST player to get a banner?

I vote Mbye.

Without going through the stats - is this good or bad for Averillo?

An even 100 that he managed in a full 90 minute golden point match in the last regular season round of 2013 - I couldn't find a second one.
59 tackles and what must almost be a career high 5 TB's for 93 MG - his running game must've been on point that day!

Remember the last round well. Captained him over the more popular Fifita to a top 20 finish. Cam bannered to bring me well into the top 20 while Fifita went off after 20 minutes for low teens

Round 14 he had another even 100. 120 run metres, 3 tbs, 3 offloads, 2 goals, 200 kick metres and 59 tackles 0 missed.

Looks like they have only played two games together, both last year

Round 18:
Lewis - 61 (430km)
Avo - 40 (63km)

Round 19:
Lewis - 30 (335km)
Avo - 34 (10km)

Huge difference in kick metres

I think bad more likely than good, as an owner. Good thing is being R17 I’ve got no inclination to panic trade. Will play it out and see where it goes before panicking next round.

SoylentGreen wrote:Late to the Bird party, but there's a chance he ends up playing at least 1 or 2 of the next 4 games in the forwards, given essentially the whole forward pack (except Sims) is also having to serve a suspension

This is a really good point mate.

3 downvotes lol

Fair call out that R&T

Seconded. I get why Rabbits cops it on a few of his posts, but downvoting the run of the mill benign ones is just school kid shit.

They were literally Avo’s first two games as a half, so I don’t think it’ll be that bad. But there’s potential for it to be pretty bad

I may trade Tohu to Manu and then decide Bird or Jones tomorrow out for AFB.

Would give me Manu, Bird, Peach and Burton though.....

Literally all Lewis can do is tackle and kick, he’s going to take KM off Avo no doubt

Has been some shockers over the years. Ikuvalu this year, Capewell in his debut year right up there as fringe first graders requiring multiple tries. Given the way his career has gone James Roberts in 2017 is a red hot shout. My answer is going to be James Segeyaro round 24 2013 including 3 tries and 11 tbs

The joint banner from Ted and Latrell against the Eels will always be my fav. They both won me a very close work comp.

He wants a contract too.

Good call. It all depends on what he was priced at when ya brought him in. If you’ve bring him in recently you could be disappointed.
