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

There was discussion earlier of Harris playing round 13, but Warriors actually play round 17

Mitch Barnett is a cheeky POD option. Good base and he has attacking ability. He'll lose GK though so probably not an option unless he can maintain his attacking stats, plus he's already over $700k

For anyone looking at Kenny, won't Tyrone May be spelling him?

Ponga's not a great goal kicker, I think it is likely he keeps kicking when Ponga returns.

He didn't last week, was in the mid rotation, with Kenny playing 80. May just subbed for Api in round 1 because he had a broken wrist.

He didn't last week, but probably yes against the better teams because Kenny ain't great. We'll see against Storm...

I need to play 3 of these 4 players, the other will get 18th man:
Riki
Alvaro
Turpin
Liddle

Thoughts on who to leave out of the 17? I missed Riki's 70 last week.

I’d leave Alvaro. The other three have higher ceilings.

Probably Alvaro. Not entirely happy with Liddle maybe only getting 50, and he won't get a try every week, but still 35 floor and always a fair chance of an injury to a back that moves Mbye and gives him 80. Alvaro showed you his ceiling last week but would expect more 35-40s than 50-55s going forward.

Having said that, if you still have NAS or Capewell then maybe they should be 18th man

Capewell became JJ this week. NAS could have easily hit 60 last week, bench is weaker without Eisenhuth. Just waiting on his breakout game, a bit like Tino. Can become iPap next week if needed.

Happy birthday to the King of the trousers himself, @standard-issue. Have a great day broski

Lam > Schuster
Lodge > Alvaro

Brailey
Welch, Watson, NAS
Tupouniua, Riki
Cleary, Munster
Momo, Niu
Pappy, Brimson, Laurie

Turpin, Tino, Alvaro, Schuster
Liddle, Roberts, Utoikamanu, Reimis

Still not sure about trading Lam and may just do the Lodge > Schuster/Alvaro.

Thoughts guys?

PS: Bringing in Alvaro and Schuster will give me 11 players that feature on the 1st page of MTBs BE list.

Happy Birthday to the original! What a fantastic guy and all round legend! Miss having him around more often!

Early for Capewell isn’t it mate?

What sort of minutes can we expect out of Capewell?
I couldn’t see anything but went off with a ‘knock’ last week.

Also a NAS owner and he will at some stage score well but there are more consistent options.

They're not sideways trades they're sublateral exchanges.

Capewell 55 predicted vs Jackson 55 predicted.

Re Jackson do we think L. Thompson coming back soon and pushing Hetho to the bench will mean Jackson goes back to 65mins rather than 80mins?

Why would you do that ?

PRO TIP: Stay off your computer after midnight !!

Almost satisfied with my team. Just wanna use one trade next week to bring Ryan James in. Then I can just focus on covering injuries and upgrading peaked cows.

Brailey
B Smith, Watson, Welch
Fifita, Riki
Cleary, keary
Niu, Bird
Teddy, Laurie, Mitchell

Liddle, Turpin, Fuimaono, Alvaro
Capewell(Loop), S.Walker, Moylan, Averillo

Want Papalii but thinking Alvaro might be the smater trade this week. Looking at;

Lam - Schuster

And either Tino to Papalii or Alvaro.

Going double cow means I have to run both in the 17. Not sure yet. Going double cow gets me 327K. Going Papalii leaves me with 114K.
