NRL Fantasy 2021 Part 29 - Everyone scores 1000 edition

Leniu to SOS is kind of tempting to be honest, but this is the perfect week to not trade so I need to resist the urge.

And meant to be back this week. As usual the Roosters are shithouse when it comes to injury news.

Was only meant to be minor re ankle injury, was supposed to be back this week, only reason I kept him.

Any news on James Roberts' fight night adventure yet?

Well likely the headknock then, symptoms of concussion are not as clear cut as a return from a leg injury

Feel like Randall could be used as just a middle forward tackle bot

I feel like 'Randall' and 'Tacklebot' could form the basis of a new forum drinking game

I don't know why you are surprised, that knock he took was absolutely brutal. Wouldn't surprise me if he was out another week due to it. It may be the ankle but with Cordner and Friend, there's no way Roosters are taking a casual approach with other headknocks.

Agree.

It would be nice if there was an actual update on him, literally nothing. NBA teams are literally forced to provide injury reports EVERY DAY. The Roosters are the worst at it when it comes to NRL teams.

I guess betting and fantasy take a backseat with issues like this.

Surely Tupouniua doesn't play since the Roosters never play anyone the week after they fail a concussion test? Surely he won't be any different.

Literally not the point. If I was a Roosters fan I'd want to know he's still actually alive.

No news is good news regarding players being alive I'd say


sarcasm aside, I would like to know what's going on that's true.

There is a watch and see with head knocks with the roosters, don't even know what is happening with Friend yet and he's in a much worse boat than Collins.

Could be like Eels and just name the player knowing full well they won't be playing that week (Matterson)

I mean the club has been pretty consistent with headknocks so it isn’t like this is a shock.. in fact with our history of concussion treatments I think it is expected at this point they will rest a player for a few weeks after a concussion.. were you expecting him back after 1 week after that brutal KO? Updates are good yes but this one is fairly obvious and not a shock.

I own him and I don't expect him to play

How dare you take the "worst to announce injuries" award from the Panthers
