NRL Fantasy 2021 Part 19 - I told you so

Jackson is performing well and could keep the big minute Lock role but something is going to change.  

Yeah looking for a Tino replacement around that 570k mark is tricky.
Jackson, IPap, Collins, Tupouniua, RJames to name a few value picks.

Feels good to slot Grand Angus back into the starting lineup.

I remember precisely one person being on the Charlie Staines bandwagon, yes.

On the chopping block are probably Davey, Tino, and Lam.

What is the consensus there, are Tino & Lam trades or worth another week?

Haven't left myself many options for a Davey replacement with 1k bank so hoping someone pops up tomorrow. Ideal situation would be something like Davey & Tino to Schuster & Jackson/Collins/Tupoinia.

I think Lam has to go but not urgent. I'm looking at Capewell to Schu and Tino to Tupounuia

CHT out for 'extended period'

I think it all depends on team lists - if Lam retains the 6, he's not necessarily a trade yet - I'm holding.
I'd be more worried about Tino - MoM (on 9) and didn't translate to fantasy points.
He's not playing less minutes, he's doing what his price point said from his role at Melbourne.
I think the hype around Tino was more from non-serious players (name recognition) and the media hype.
There's better options for the $ IMO.
NB: I made the same mistake with hoping NAS would see more minutes or become more of a focal point for the Storm power game, so he's becoming IPap or Collins for mine.

Updated my team tracker with potential trades. Have to do a major surgery on my team to get him but it has to be done. Pls check it out and let me know your thoughts, would be really appreicated

Might punt on Papalii, but I actually might double cow this week. Lam and Tino for Schuster and Alvaro. See what TLT dishes up.

Yeah bro I was thinking similar trades. If Schuster gets the gig that would be great. If you got time can you have a look at my team tracker, just another Cleary-less owner stressing...

Not ideal from a Warriors perspective. Also doesn't offer much for fantasy. Turner probably the likely replacement and has ruined his price at 445k. O'Sullivan the other option, might be worth a look at 319k.

Toups looks good - his game has improved from when he came off the bench.
He's another option for me in the Collins / I.Pap basket.

Jackson, if he keeps the lock role could become a cut-price gn. Big question is what happens when RFM is back full-time and Thompson returns from his suspension.
It's a wait and see for me.



That said, he''ll probably keep banging out 60+ each week and will be a 2021 regret.

Twal to Jackson?  That's sideways.

Bank $100k and Jackson seems to be getting more minutes and in a team that’ll be tackling all game.

But I do see your point. I was hoping for 60s off Twal but I can get his scores for 100k less and a dpp with Jackson.

So long story short. Banner for Twal this week

I know it doesn’t matter because we all have him... but ... Daine Laurie with no line breaks is just baffling.

So far Keary has doubled his KM average from last year, while maintaining all his usual attacking stats. Anyone looking at him as a potential cut-price keeper?

With a 23 breakeven, this would probably be the week to do it.

I don't know how a bloke that fell over the line for a few Nathan Merritt style tries became the most over rated player in the NRL, but here we are

Hadn't noticed that, that is insane. I kind of tuned out in the second half, but surely there were two pretty clear ones in the first half?

I'm jumping on the Mahoney bandwagon... feels like chasing points... but I guess it's form over fixture right?

Yeah he broke through some kind of line in the 2nd half too depending on what the definition of the line is.

Tempting at 300k if he gets a decent run. Would slot into CHT spot on left and conveniently a left foot boot. Solid defender.
