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

Jack Torrance wrote:I've got a few little decisions to make this week. Apologies I've not read every post and I assume a bench ranking has been done already.

Trade Ofa to Tino. Erm so.... I had Tino and jumped off due to his b/e. Those mins last week are super tempting (plus that fking score). I'm not too proud to just bring him back in. Do it?

A choice of Riki vs Uto in the 13. Using Harris to do the switcheroo. Riki, right?

Bench choice of three between Uto (assuming starting Riki), Liddle, SOS, Walker, Schuster, Laurie (and Simonsson lol)....

I think I might captain Pap over Cleary. Raiders are a fking strong team and Bulldogs are not so much. I'm a proven points chaser haha

Team after trades (with initial decisions made):

Does that include a TA + LBA to a burrowing BS13 for an T + LB + 2xTBs  ????

Reklaw wrote:For those grabbing Ipap this week, I wonder if Sitili would be a better pick up in the next couple weeks. I know he doesnt play R13, but gets 80 and has shown a good floor. I like Ipap and I get Matto will break again, but theres something that doesnt feel right dropping 650k on a bench player.

Starting to feel more like a chore than a game for me. Becoming too much of a distraction and want to begin removing things like that as I move into my career and focus spare time on my major IRL hobby.

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 agree. Latrell looks to have matured through last season and in the off season. Gordon Tallis (though I write-off a lot of what he says) always says that no on coaches the Indigenous better than Wayne Bennett.

In regards to Origin, surely Freddy has learnt that while a backline of fullbacks works sometimes, it didnt last year. Specialist centres are the way to go and while Latrell isn't currently a centre, he is still one of the best centres in the league.

Not sure if we can take any credibility from Fox but they are say Sitili likely to be ruled out.
