NRL Fantasy 2021 Part 19 - I told you so

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.

That Labor club is probably the worst option there is.

Flanagan. Down about 4-5 points from goals, because Dogs suck. Double the kick metres (250>500), because Averillo sucks, +12 points. All else being equal, that's +7-8 points on last year, and possible keeper half.

Price and Lewis/Burton risk rule him out as a trade-in for now, but one for the post Rd 13 watch list.

Not sure how reliable he is, but Andrew Webster reporting Penriff will rest Cleary on a side of caution as it's only round 3 - claims he had word from penriff about it.

If Cleary and Milford get rested, my halves cover will be stretched to the limit. I have Brooks , Hoy, and Croker.
Croker to score another try?

Haha, love it! Milford "rested"

Yeah, I saw it reported on the news too this morning on TV.  Looking like he won't play.

Yeah, I'll have Lam and Croker in that event. Although if Milford is rested, he will be traded to Schuster, SOS or maybe even another position.

He's one of the few journalists with something resembling integrity so I'd say it's accurate.

Looks like Lam might survive. Could run Avo in there I guess.

I have the gun halves pairing of averillo and moylan if Milford and cleary are out.

Who is GK of Warriors now? Nikorima is tempting me if he picks it up....

Pompey most likely but it could be Niko given Pompey's kicking form on Friday :/

Surely they don't rest milf in the only winnable game they have until R9? Seems a little premature really given all the smoke blown up his arse in the preseason by kevvie

Hoping TLT clears things up as right now nothing really sticks out. Davey & Tino to Schuster & Jackson is the current frontrunner.

Davey is the only one definitely on the chopping block. My thoughts on others I've seen discussed that are in my team:

Lam - can't believe people are considering ditching him already. 30 is his floor, he's had one TA, one LBA, and one TB in two dominant attacking displays. He will almost inevitably have a big attacking game & I am still interested to see how the Roosters split playmaking/kicking in an actual competitive game, not a 40-6 training run. Friday should give a better insight into that.

Turpin - as above. His KM & tackle count both dropped dramatically in a game with heaps of errors where both tackles and KM were well down overall. Worth another week against the Bulldogs.

Milf - disappointing but won't be trading unless he's dropped. Still dominated KM relative to Croft, and showed what he can do in WK 1. He doesn't have to get back to averaging 55 to be worthwhile, a mid 40s avg will do fine priced at 33, which will include some 20s.

Tino - most concerning for me. Now priced at 40 and averages 42 in 50-70 mins at lock. Getting the minutes but was never that high on him and think he'll be on the way out.

Any thoughts on Paseka? Probably too middy to actually go there, but his minutes have increased from mid 30s last year to mid 40s this year and he goes at about 1 PPM. That seems pretty safe with Manlys forward depth severely tested.

Avg 46 in 40-50 mins, currently priced at 36.

Why is Cleary out, what did I miss ?

Don't think its 100% confirmed yet but its Concussion + short turn around basically.

So if Cleary is out I'll need a good half:
Capewell out - Keary in
For my 2nd trade I'll have to sell Tino to someone 444k, Who do you like:
(a) LAM or
(b) Kamikamica or
(c) Koloamatangi

Cheers.

If Cleary is out Mahoney can be captain for a week
