NRL Fantasy 2021 Part 33 - Was that the best round in the world? No it was just a tribute!

Kinda keen to distance myself from some of this Broncos carnage and make these trades:

Riki > Peachey
Niu > Fogarty

I lose EDG and WFB cover though which is drastic. Thoughts?

Hey rabbits.

Hope you are okay re your uncle. Got a good crowd here always happy to help.

I think you should do no trades this week as no chance of winning H2H this week.

Good Luck

Well I don’t need to trade this week and can just ride this one out but Hampton playing in the halves at his price is tempting indeed

I remember that year I rode Hampton as a cow for huge price rises, can't recall the year, if it was the same year JAC went off...

Atm i am bringing Bunty in but in all likelihood will it be 8 JTB 10 Harris 13 Jazz or does tohu go to 13 or even edge for murchie

Think I'll boot Alvaro for him, though I think he's still got a bit to earn. Still have a couple of MIDs in EMG, but no WFB, worsened by the news about Niu.

I wouldn't be rushing to get rid of Alvaro yet. Averaging 40 which gains him another 60k in the next 3 weeks if he keeps that up. Certainly playable in your 17 for now as well.

I like those trades.

CTR keeper and a cut-price HLF who is final 17 playable. Neither will play origin so also valuable there.

Any chance S Crichton gets DPP, or does he miss it because he's an injury fill-in?

Just looking at him as a R13 centre, and DPP would be a nice bonus.

Lost a bit of cash on his starting price, Broncos, Newcastle, Manly next 3, and yet to score a try this season while still averaging 31. Surely he's due a few.

There's nothing behind Roberts getting dropped other than pure speculation.

Yeah I dunno where this is coming from, unless we're still picking teams based on fantasy scores

Leilua has concussion protocols to get through and he and Kepaoa were dropped originally for atrocious defence.

Mbye's not great at CTR, but at least has experience if needed.

I don't recall JRob doing anything to warrant being dropped. Probably not even a consideration when fit.

Missed the game in the weekend...were there any injuries that paved the way for Peachey getting 80mins at lock?
Do we think it can continue?

Yeah, I'm thinking of getting him but will be surprised if he gets DPP

He did have a stinker but it's not like the tigers have an abundance of centres waiting to get into the team. Seems unlikely he gets dropped, but you never know.

Sami went down after 7 minutes which caused a reshuffle. Tino was playing edge or CTR or something.

Sami was off early and they sort of shunted Tino to the backs. Peach stayed in the middle for most of the game with a spell in the backs late but I suspect he will be back to his usual minutes this week.


Edit: Could have been edge it was hard to tell but he (Tino) didn't have a hell of a lot of impact given all the action was on the other side

Seriously, whoever said Doueihi... I'm kinda keen now.

Yeah I just think he sticks around by default. I do remember a dropped ball after the bullshit from the bunker, but we were in crazy mode at that point.

Only 4 games at a new club, gotta give some time to gel.

Problem is I’m a big advocate of not overspending at CTR ever. And that is exactly what I’m doing here. Bird and his slapsies is the only other one I’d be interested in.

Also bringing these two in means I’ll be leaving 2 perfectly capable scorers out of the 17. Atm that is Liddle and Walker.

So I’m torn

With ball in hand Tino was at right edge (and for a short time, centre/wing while whatever his name is was sin binned)

Peachey was defending out wide, Tino in the middle (for the most part), but Titans had all the ball, there was fuck all defense to do.

Holbrook gave Tino a break and the cameras showed as he went off, he was mouthing off (again) about being subbed it seems.. haha

But yeah, as you said, ball barely came Tino's way. Proctor was at centre and Fifita on the other side of the field.. it made sense for the Titans to go left all day. If we didn't own Tino in fantasy you'd not think twice about Tino's performance

As a *new* owner it was pretty ugly, but as long as normal programming resumes next week he should play his usual big mins in the middle.

Also just noticed Cleary now at 1060, BE 62, another 1-2 weeks and can sell him for upgrades.

Guns and cows for me tempted to go:

BSmith to Haas (paying $910k is overs but oh well).
Riki to Cow (probably Simpkin given Liddle is probably due an injury and could be a good cow eventually, could play some lock if on bench as well).

Leaves:

JBrailey
Haas, Ipapali, Watson
DFifita, ACrichton
Cleary, Schuster
Peachey, Averillo
Tedesco, Papenhuyzen, Laurie

Liddle, O'Sullivan, Walker, Leniu

Uto, Simpkin, Roberts, Lussick

Deal with Lussick and/or Roberts when someone like Blore takes the edge role.

I'm actually thinking about picking him up this week or next
