NRL Fantasy 2021 Part 30 - Where the points are made up.

Rabbits21 wrote:I’ll be Stadium Australia tonight, anyone else going?

I’m actually a bit nervous especially with the fact Milford has to start showing something to try get another contract in the NRL. Brisbane were quite good in patches last week as well.

We are without Cody, Keaon, Knight etc..... plus all the Reyno talk has been non stop all week.

I still think Souths by 14-16 points but mightn’t be as easy as some think. We don’t have a good record against these Shoncos either!

Yeah Bonco/Bunnies usually a good game. Still gone bunnies but by less than the usual 20+

Top-ranked team has already cracked 12 mill, impressively.

The rest of the top 50 are hovering around 11.6-11.8, give or take.

Should I be worried at 11.61, or is that about right?  

should be fine. Alot of those top teams have Mahooney who makes up almost 170K.

Now's the time to get your cows to be making money though, if you have a dud get them out for a good one.

I feel like it's not a bad option, but saving the trade may be more valuable.

There's definitely some upside in terms of points & cash gen, though I'm not desperate for a 17 scorer as I'm happy enough with a bench of Turpin/Liddle/Schuster/Walker.

I feel like it's an ok option, but maybe not worth a trade with better cheapies to come hopefully? Can anyone talk me into it?

It's my one trade this week. Need to make money and Leniu isn't cutting the proverbial mustard. Outside a middle injury he's gonna be playing low minutes

Great trades, and welcome. toss up between Tohu and Crichton. Pending injuries you would think Tohu will outscore Crichton by a little bit due to missing one game due to origin and potential rests from the Roosters (if they are safe in the top .

Agreed, so close between Tohu and Crichton. In the short term...what are everyone's minutes prediction/points production for Tohu named at Prop?

I'm surprised you'd be nervous, should be a comfortable win, unless Wayne gifts a favour to his old mate Kevy ... ?? In all seriousness, we bad.

I hope you’re right but we did lose to you guys last year albeit it was in Brisbane.

Haas makes a difference though.

Farnworth is a loss though. We should aim our attack at Kennar at centre I think.

I’m hoping for another Turpin 60 tonight, even 55 would do! Hopefully plays 80mins again!

Riki should get a few TB’s running at Benji and Host.

Haas probs plays 65-70mins again as well without Carrigan.

Haas and Moses are the 2 I have my eye on for round 13 but will need my cows to keep making more cash these next 2-3 weeks.

Won't Haas be playing Origin?? Also wouldn't surprise me if Freddy persists with Wighton at Ctr and chucks Moses in the halves.

Don’t do this bro you’re dangling the carrot!

I have max traded first 3 weeks already.

UV: Hold Leniu as 18th/19th man he shouid still be a slow burn can trade to another cow in a few weeks if needed!
DV’ Trade Leniu to SOS and hope to make good cash

Probably SOS over Lussick with the extra trade.  But try and see how Haas goes tonight if you can.

yea that would be ideal only issue is I'm trading out kolo so the trade needs to be done before tonights game. Leaning towards sos atm

Random question, when is Staggs due back? All I’m seeing is mid year so guessing the first bye round perhaps?

I’m not so sure. On what I’ve read around quite a number aren’t confident Haas will play origin. Honestly I’m not sure. He didn’t play well last year in origin though.

I think Latrell if he keeps this form up will defs be picked at centre.

That’s such a gun team and great trades.

What’s your rank?

Cheers mate, its a decent team but it took some work and sideways trades to get there. Preseason I wasnt convinced Cleary could continue to keep that price up so started without. I was WRONG. Started with Cook and Crichton so after round 1 I bit the bullet, swallowed my pride and used them to bankroll Cleary and AFB. My only real misstep so far. Starting with Chad is proving lucrative and will enable a nice upgrade.

Ranked 2200 so a bit of work to do. only banked a trade, but feel like I needed to trade to get my team right.

Don't do it unless you are having to play Leniu every week, otherwise just leave him in your 18-21 and wait for the money. Not worth burning trades on selling him to another cow that's mostly sailed.

I am another one who has gone ahead the with Leniu/SOS trade. Was hoping for a tradeless week but I feel like this will help my cash generation quite a bit. makes deciding my 17 a headache though but thats a good headache to have. I suppose it lessens my Middle headache as well.

Still saving a trade, but need better cash gen as I fked myself not starting with Cleary. I think he's got $200k in him whereas Leniu peaks at high 400s, around $90k

I think SOS is good for 45s. Add a try or 2 and he's making bank

Latrell isn't acting like he was last year or the year before and looks to have made a genuine effort to fix his attitude. I think that was the main reason Freddy excluded him from the blues (You don't want a volatile player who tilts easily). Fully expecting him to play origin again this year but you really never know. Still a way to go yet.

I’m not very good with technology and wouldn’t really have an avatar to give you but you’re on! I say he scores over 60!

I’m sure if you lose one of the lads on here can help me and we can give you one!

Mate i'll help you out. Ill tell you what. If you lose the bet i'll put up my avatar for Archer to choose and when he loses you can pick whatever you want for him!

Liverpool_Bulldog wrote:Random question, when is Staggs due back? All I’m seeing is mid year so guessing the first bye round perhaps?

Broncos updated his status a week or two ago. I can't remember exactly what round they were aiming, but it was either round 12 or round 14.

By that point I am sort of hoping for 1. Niu 2. Isaako 3. Farnworth 4. Staggs 5. Coates.. but just my opinion

Anyone bringing in Radley? Intrigues me as a potential Fui upgrade next week. Thoughts on expected minutes and average?
