NRL Fantasy 2021 Part 14 - Let's all trade out Tedesco

It hurt Cook's fantasy output a little in attack. Once Benji came on they played a wide game attacking edge to edge off 2 or 3 passes instead of trying to ram it through the middle

It will be interesting to see how it's going to affect Cook long term

I might have to go Fui to Stefano so I can trade out Lodge and Croker for Leniu and miscellaneous forward like Ofa. Not comfortable relying on one of Croker, Simonsson, or Niu as a scorer next week.

I guess there's risk with Stefano being replaced in a couple rounds as well though so in a bit of a pickle. Anybody able to sway me? If I kept Fui I'd be playing him and Leniu next week instead of Leniu + misc. forward like Ofa (added job security compared to Fui). Wouldn't be able to do anything useful with Croker if I kept Fui this round, might have to hold Croker until a good base price cow pops up, perhaps swap to Mead next week.

Stefano has the same sort of hype as Leniu, could get a very similar role. His PPM was bananas in little cameos last year, should be a good pick with anywhere near 30 minutes.

Sounds like a good plan, Fui could end up a dud very easily, and Croker definitely is.

There just must be no one interested in the roles, as how on earth do we have Spud Carroll and Blocker commentating on Tv. Legit query, it is fascinating.

i have all this on the mobile though.

Change browsers maybe? I use Google Chrome and everything works fine. Been a long time since I've used IE.

Somewhere between 22-33 points. Young and tapine both go 50+

I couldn't believe Croker was in the Eagles squad over Cust, but i also am not sure if one week will make a difference anyway. How bad does it look if Croker is suddenly out of the team and Cust in on the back of one single game.

I think it's 'Edge' which has rooted it. I'll be back.

Also the thing is Croker did his bloody job. Sure he's an average footballer, but it's not like they lost because of how he played. Taking off the Fantasy Goggles it wouldn't surprise me if he's still hooker next week.

I thought about putting Verrills in as a 246k player over someone like stefo. I think i might have put a post about it. I read Verrills was another month away so didnt bother with that idea

Des already said he won’t tear apart the edge defence that the Roosters tore apart.
I don’t think he’ll tear apart the middle either.
I think Croker starts again next week with Cust on the bench.

Yep same setup here

Didn't even think of that. This is the third concussion I can remember Friend having in the last year. Saves a trade bringing him in now for when he starts in week 3

This is a good point.

Doesn’t matter if Cust scored three tries in NSW Cup, Des will want him to play the same role as Croker in 1sts.

I think Gos gets dropped to the bench before Croker gets hooked from hooker

I'll come good always do that's if cleary and ted start tanking it of course

Raiders: Canberra will start 1-17 after Sam Williams and Harley Smith-Shields were the last two players dropped from the squad. Sebastian Kris is a left-field selection in place of co-captain Jarrod Croker (shoulder), beating out Matthew Timoko.

Croker had been given the all-clear to resume full squad training and was thought a chance of being fit for the season opener after it was initially feared he would be out for the first month.

Veteran recruit Ryan James will play in the No.17 jersey. Tom Starling and Emre Guler were the two players left out 24 hours before kick-off.

Forward duo Corey Horsburgh and Corey Harawira-Naera have both missed selection in the initial 21-man squad after being suspended for one and two weeks respectively over off-season drink-driving charges.

Wests Tigers: Michael Maguire's side will start 1-17 after Jock Madden and Michael Chee-Kam were omitted an hour before the match. Moses Mbye will start at No.6 after shaking off hamstring concerns.

Daine Laurie has won the fullback jersey and fellow recruit James Roberts will line up in the centres alongside Joey Leilua, who is set to return after missing the big trial win over Manly with a minor foot injury. On the wing, Tommy Talau has been relegated to the bench by Asu Kepaoa

Raiders/ Tigers 1-17 no changes

If Stefano intends on sticking around, he'll need a good showing asap. Madge isn't very tolerant with rookie benchies

What have you done?

Lolo over Difi because somehow in my mind Lolo was going to score a brace every game now he was going to be fresher.

Also Cromer last minute after saying no all week.

Speaking of which, Payten’s presser was really honest, but so cringey at the same time.
