NRL Fantasy 2021 Part 15 - Let the raging begin

885 with Lodge, Bird, Roberts, Riki and but it was No Cleary which killed my score against everyone here.

Tough crowd here, some serious talent which builds cookie cutter teams but zero panic because I know the drill.

What happened?

Well done to all the good scorers this week

I got 871 - usual suspects scoring poorly. Also the late switch off Koro was right - to give some cash and positional flexibility for trading Lodge out. But going to Papa and not Vaughan/Tapine was wrong - For this week at least, long run is probably fine.

Would be nice to start a season not 100 pts off the pace tho.

889 with the same guys, but I do have Cleary. Lam and Host also in the starting side arent great.

Less than 5000 tippers? Shiiit. Over 300k on footytips.

Lam is completely fine I reckon, zero worries there

people too quick to look at one off scores, good and bad. If he scored that 31 amongst a 6 game average of 40+ no one gives a shit

Lodge the likely go for me.

Really liked what I saw from Matt Moylan. Busy in attack, wasn't a turnstile in defence and took on the line frequently.

I got 936 and my CTRs suck also but I don’t have lodge and I have Welch to cover Angus.

I am thinking I might offload Croker though.

Yup same here. I'm the Centre equivalent of a fantasy coach

900 odd all said and done.

Time to find the next guy to score 75 out of the blue that gets the forum swooning.

Really poor start to the season but I think only Lodge is going to depart my banquet of muppets this week. If I could be bothered to fuck around with centres I would cut Bird straight away but no way I'm going to muck around bringing in another centre with all the other options this week. Ofa looks to be pretty clear cut Lodge replacement for me.

That all said, I have great concern about Croker (job security and shitness), Laurie (job security), Utoikamanu (really underwhelming) and of course Averillo and Bird. But I do think both of them will perform better on dry tracks.

909, inside the top 10,000 so i'll take that, I've had many much worse starts, first thought for trades is Lodge to Ofa, budget willing, have 73k to work with there, need the magic number to be kind to me.

My teddy to your Cleary. Least we basically have one main problem. We correct and we move on.

To the moon!

How did Ofa look, doesn’t have the minutes to maintain that scoring does he?

950 all done, no injuries can’t complain

941

If I'd made some insane calls with my Emergencies I could've got more, with Host scoring more than Riki, Alvaro and Utoikamanu more than Lodge and Niu more than either Roberts and Averillo, but of course hindsight is a wonderful thing etc. etc.

He was a Beast out there, looked hungry so should go well

Oh for sure not dumping any of them except Lodge.

Just keep plugging away. Reason score looks bad here as I’ve said above is there is some serious talent here and that’s what you are judging scores on after first week. The causals who have had a good R1 will fall away and most here will rise to top as similar starting teams. Just competing with some of the best back end of season then
