NRL Fantasy 2021 Part 20 - Who needs halves ???

What are the odds Parker moves to 2RF once Turbo is back and Walker goes to CTR? Pretty non-existent?

Lam to Schuster practically locked in for me as no real other issues

Sadly leaves me 40k short of Turpin to Fifita and not really sure how I can bridge gap

He didn't though? He scored almost entirely in base plus 1 TB & if anything had an uncharacteristic -8 in demerits.

Will most likely be Davey and Averillo out for SOS and Schuster for me. Sure I won't be the only one making those trades.

Even if that is worst case scenario, Schuster will get opportunities for several weeks as a starter at some point in the season, given the lack of depth at Manly.

I really rate Tanah and could be a very handy cow if Taylor's injury ingers.

Averillo/Lam out and Schuster/Momirovski in. Sound?

Turpin gets another week to show his worth against the Dogs

The chance is definitely more than 0. Who knows what Des is thinking

I don't rate him as a footballer and it annoys me that I put him in my side.

I get annoyed at leaving Niu out of my aside for crappy players like Averillo.

Don't even know why, he was in my side most of pre-season then ditched him because of Broncos being crap (but kept Milf)

Cool to see NRL posting injury timelines in the team lists

My Thumb Up and Thumb Down question

One thing I am concerned about with the chatter of Josh Jackson. He's in an awful team, a team that is going to need a shake up soon because it's not working. That may mean that he gets shifted around at some stage. So proceed with caution.

Schuster will have lots of opportunities to score points on the edge. 45 points of base scoring last week. With his skill set, will create a lot of opportunities for attacking points as well, could go huge.

Trade out candidates:
Averillo
Davey
Lam
Turpin

Trade in Targets:
Schuster
Alvaro
Koloamatangi

I think SOS has linger job security and can make more money over 10 weeks than Davey. I guess the question is if you need to play Schuster or SOS in your 1-17. If you do, I can understand the Schuster argument as he went pretty well last week. But if you are bringing them in purely as a money maker and potential emergency every now and again then I am taking SOS for the longer game play and less risk of loosing spot after 3 weeks.

I don't have any pressing cow issues... Croker was going to be moved on, and he knew it, he could feel it in the Force, so he took on the line to maintain his spot in my team.

I understand the Schuster hype for those that need to trade out Lam, Davey, Averillo, Musgrove, Jacks and Stimson.

I think I'll trade Tino to Schuster will probably burn me but Simonsson to Turbo in a few weeks. I want Harris in eventually

Probably fair odds he starts at 2rf this week. Or someone else does, eg aloiai.

Please don't bring him in

SOS - Slow burn if he's hitting 40 every week, but not out of his realm. CHT gonna be out for 10-12 weeks so will definitely get gains. I'm wondering how the kicking duties will be shared. Kicking was shared between CHT and Kodi, Kodi getting a few more in there in round 1. SOS doesn't seem like a notable kicker, but that may be due to his halves pairing. May be slight up tick there

Schu - big body, talented, shit team. JS is questionable because Des is weird. But if he keeps 3-4 weeks at 2RF, he should get ample base and hopefully some attacking stats. I'm worried about him getting shifted to bench in 2 weeks - but if he gets some decent scores then he'll be good

Personally, might bring both in and build that bank
