What is coverage looking like in other positions?
I am in the minority and agree with you Mike. I kind of feel that he was gifted a few of those tries last year, might be harder to come across at the Tigers. He may pick those points up in more defence, but only if he plays 80 imo. Also very worried about his noggin.Iron Mike wrote:Milchy wrote:
Why is it a downside for Matterson if he is moving to a team not as good the the Roosters.
Jake Trbojevic, Martin Taupau, Nathan Brown, Robbie Farah were all in the top 10 averaging forwards last year and all missed the 8.
Of the 11-20th ranked forwards,only Tohu Harris played finals.
Elliott Whitehead, Gavin Cooper, Lachlan Fitzgibbon, Shaun Lane all scored a lot of tries as 2nd rowers last year and all missed the 8.
So if you say that Ryan Matterson has moved to a weaker team, my only question is "So what?"
if anything being a better forward in a weaker pack would lead to more fantasy output, not less.
11-20 were Ryan James, Rhys Martin, Daniel Alvaro, Manase Fainu, Jai Arrow, Lachlan Fitzgibbon, Tohu Harris, Aiden Guerra, Josh Papalii, Joseph Tapine
Good point, I will take that on the chin, maybe I was meaning the cronk-less factor. I feel the clunky-ness of the Tigers halves will present less opportunities potentially. Other than not, not the worse pick, just feel a lot of 80 min edge second rowers struggle to get an average much more than 50. So at a price of 46, I don't see as much upside as others. Add HIA issues, the fact that everyone should have Garner, and he won't spend anytime in the middle I would imagine I am avoiding at this stage.

The day of anticipation
Endless bickering
On the Fanatics thread
Calmed for our teams instead
End of Off-season come
Arguments about who starts
Sorely won
Disappointment lingers with the fear
Of flunking out through the year
Days and hours
Sleepless nights
Ensuring our team list looks alright
Then Bellamy, Bennett and co
Suddenly our team's no-go
Girlfriends, wives, and families
Employers, managers and clients
Let me sound a sure warning
The season is now moving
Expect 50% effort or less
Because we have reserved our best
For the banter and the battle come
To ensure our Fantasy team has won
Ah the off-season is to an end
NRL Fantasy is back again

Check out his scores for the first 6 rounds last year.Iron Mike wrote:
I feel it's less of a gamble going with someone like Taumololo than trying to pick two midrangers that may go well. I'm trying to tailor my side to players that break tackles because it's such a favourable statistic for fantasy.
Fifita, Taupau, Taumololo. Looks good. Maybe might try find some room for Tapine too.

Warriors are set to release a statement regarding Isaiah Papali’i’s suspension. Was driving slightly over the alcohol limit the morning after a music festival. He’s paid a small fine, licence suspended and will be back playing next week.

Seems like a no-brainer really, and I don't think I will find better value than that elsewhere. Good scorer for the early rounds that will make some money so will be easy to upgrade.
I think I will need to drop RTS for Mansour in my backs though. Already have Teddy, can't afford RTS and all the other value players I'm starting. Not convinced Mansour is going to increase on his current value but I am struggling to find a WFB with more upside for my starting 17 :/.

He's coming back off injury and may not be a locked in 80min edge player with the likes of Defeater, Su'A and Glenn there. Bit of a risk but I'd say worth a punt

The broncos forward pack just scares me. So many quality forwards looking for minutes.
Also questions over his match fitness.
Take a look at what happened to Cam Murray last year when they had a full strength squad.
I really don't think he will play close to 80 minutes. Might be best for a bronco fanatic to offer their 2 cents.

Thats why I have decided to go with him, no longer needs 80 on an edge to be relevant, can do 50-60 minutes in the middle and get the same score.
Vanish wrote:
Yeah I suppose this is the risk. It's a stacked pack and TPJ, Fifita and Su'a all have to fit into it somewhere. Since he usually requires 80 minutes to get his scores, moving to lock may actually reduce his effectiveness fantasy wise. Hmmmmmm
