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

Its also nice seeing the bank there to help with Ofa to Haas next week if I want to move early.

Haas early could be a huge game changer. Had some big scores playing 65 minutes in 2019

When would we have an answer on Cleary - Early enough to make a decision on line up or before kick off when I'm trying to put the kids to bed!?

Just picking do I keep him at 17 with Leniu as a loop or keep him starting for captain and if he misses out Moylan as EMG slots in?

There will probably be a million rumours until kickoff. Has Burton been dropped off in the Early mail the first 2 rounds? If he has and they keep him in the squad this week then that's probably the best indicator outside of the club saying Cleary is out.

I think I'm set on double cow this week too actually.

I like SOS too, think he'll have good involvement and should generate good cash. The risk is of course there that he does get dropped for Turner but I'm going to take a chance on him.

Davey to him is probably my only trade this week, although was considering Simonsson to Tanah Boyd as well but that would leave me with only Niu as both CTR and WFB coverage which I'm not sure about. Also should really save a trade if not injury forced

1 hour before the game.

Anyone looking at Opacic?

Only $357k and scores of 35 and 32 with no attacking stats. Great base so far of 20 tackles and 100m. Only a matter of time before he gets some tries and outs Sivo over for a few in a good Parra side?

Considering as a POD at only 4% ownership

Looking to trade turpin + Kenny/Egan to Haas + Cow in the future.. can't decide whether capewell to egan or Kenny is the play this week for cash purposes.

TU for Kenny
TD for Egan

Looking for value

I was the using the lack of kicking as an uptick for him mate as his average from 80 minute halves games is 39 with only 130KM (6.5 points a game). If he gets more and maintains his middling stats he will make decent coin. Plenty of options for Warriors if he doesn’t fire mind as previously noted

Yeah he seems tempting with CHT out for so long - don't know a lot about Schuster but I tend to prefer SOS as an option.

Seems like you've dug into him a little so maybe you'll know, has his tackle count come from playing at half the whole game, or did he shift into like hooker or something for a period? I only ask because that is a LOT of tackles and is such a significant part of his previous points so trying to get an idea of whether you can expect that to keep up (obviously other factors come into it like who's he's placed beside, how teams attack etc).

Just had a look into his stats and they are pretty tempting. Might jump that way instead of Schuster

I’ve looked at his big tackle matches which in fairness is the vast majority of his games 

There’s always been either a hooker playing 80 minutes or 80 minutes split with a genuine bench hooker so he’s stayed at halfback and not been moved to cover there.

Macca with Paix 
Macca with Seggy
Friend with Baptiste

He’s pretty small so can see why he would be targeted, but that’s a pretty lumpy Warriors pack around him. I’m probably going Simonsson - Schuster/SoS this week and watch the non trade in and bring them in for Avo next week

Is it sane to be tempted by both this week? Lam and Reimis could be used and I’ll have 250k in the bank for next week

Cheers mate, that's reassuring it all came at half. My gut originally leant towards SOS over Schuster but then recently had gone back towards Schuster. I think I might follow the same mindset as you - 1 this week and 1 the next. Given Schuster possibly has less time to make the cash with a smaller BE I'll probably get him first.

I like your 2 cows option best.

Completely understand NAS to any of those other 4 as it's the same thing I'm contemplating with Matterson. So your guess is as good as mine on that chapter.

I'm actually leaning towards NAS > JJ, JS plus his scores are all base stats at the moment.
I.Pap - I'm supper keen on, but want to see how his changed role (bench impact middle to starting edge) will affect his score.
Collins - he's definitely on my watch list, but his scores have been inflated through his attacking stats which are not sustainable.
Keary - against the Bunnies this week, who will be fired up. I just have a gut feeling that there won't be a huge number of TAs etc.

As for Alvaro, I know every week I hold off on him I lose potential $, but I have 3 Middles to choose from for a sideways trade if it's needed (Hetho, Stefano, Leniu) so it's a wait and see.
While I've probably ensured NAS crosses for a meat-pie against the Panthers and goes big

I was pretty happy with SOS when he played for us, wanted him to be selected earlier. He was solid and was starting to play really well and then got injured.

I'm keen on grabbing him but I'll probably wait a week, not urgent. As MS said it would be nice to see some KM's. Sort of depends what happens with Schuster, I'm not as certain as everyone else that he actually runs out at 2nd row.

Nah, as a Broncos tragic, I'd like to think Kev would hold firm - but even after two losses, you can see the pressure the public/media places on the bloke and the team in general.

FFS we won the spoon last year, I don't expect us to start winning games all of a sudden.
I'm genuinely just stoked we are having a crack and not giving up when we get behind by a try or more!

I officially welcome you to the life of a Tigers fan.
If there's steady improvement, you too can hope for a top four (of the bottom eight) ladder position.

Fuck em’

I’m swinging the axe, Lam and Simonsson out for Schuster and SoS

Impossible to keep up with you lot, 20 pages last night. Going the 2 cow route this week, with the lack of them early I need to start generating some funds.
