NRL Fantasy 2021 Part 19 - I told you so

If you gave me a few years and a research team of crack Canberrans, I could imagine a more Public Service sentence.

Probably.

Remind me to shout you a sympathy beer at the Raiders.

I get paid well to write very public servanty. The beers at the raiders game (and before and after at the light house) help with the self loathing.

Honestly have no clue what I am going to do this week. Have 21 healthy, playing players (so far)... so my head says hold; however, I have a couple players who aren't performing and there are a few players that have some low BE's and decent scoring that I could do with. See what TLT throws me

Fine, fine - point well made. You can shout me.

If this is what starting slow looks like I'd hate to see Tedesco's scores after round 5!

I think u need statistical breakdowns of matchups for players over a few seasons if u are taking h2h of certain teams into account. I never consider it, matchups don't mean anything. A well beaten team will still have guys doing there fantasy thing for 80 mins.

Happy to be proven wrong, but I really don't see why it's rush to bring a FB in when playing arguably the best team in the comp.

But stats

Vs Panthers last year, 31 and 38
Vs Roosters 31, 31, 45

The 2 best teams they will play. In general, looking at H2H is a waste of time, but if you have other pressing concerns, waiting a week isn't the end of your season, which was the context of my original post. If it's your only trade, it's fine

Tough lad CHT

Yea, sounds like it'll be SOS, going off of Gus Gould's tweet

Yeah nice.

Another one I found is Turpin to Josh Jackson. Will see what TLT brings us.

I'm looking at Keary. Can't really see much improvement in base except kicking metres, otherwise it's mainly attacking stats. Do you think he maintains?

Wait and see for me on SOS in that case. If he shares kicking with Kodi he will make cash. If Kodi is kicking 90% of the time I won't want SOS

I was thinking about this. As a second half who really stands out. Moses, Dce, Munster ? Keary is currently 150k odd cheaper then the obvious ones and I don’t see any reason why he can’t be around that level.

I don't really see why not. He's going to be the dominant playmaker this year, the Roosters are probably going to finish Top 4. He won't play teams like the Sea Eagles and Tigers every week but the attacking stats won't disappear.

Sos isn’t even base that’s a shame, I’m broke

I cant make it work with my fantasy team but I'll probably jump on in supercoach or dreamteam

Pretty awkward price makes it a no go for me. Would have to sideways trade someone like Munster

Not to mention he's been having way more touches of the footy this year than he did last year.

The light house!

Back pre-pandemic, when there was an expectation for me to go to Canberra on the semi-regular from my regional outpost outside the Canberra bubble, that was the local post-drinks haunt. Or the Labor club if strapped for cash. Also the Labor Club that one time Origin was on and we didn't realise you needed to book a table to get into the light house for Origin. Then the Labor club cut the sound of the game in the 2nd half so people could hear the badge draw. It was dire.

71 avg but 3 TAs avg too... I think best case he averages low-mid 50s and currently priced high 40s already. Not worth it for me.
