NRL Fantasy 2021 Part 37 - Removed the swear word.

902 with Macca and Alvaro to come.

873 with Alvaro, Harris and Bird to go. Had a rankings slide of almost 700 places, don't know how much ground they could make up.

Hasn't been a terrible week. Crichton and Teddy underwhelming but they're very popular so shouldn't affect me too much. Can't think of where else I came up short aside of course from Roberts who straight up sucks though.

935 with Macca/Bird/Alvaro to come. Creeping up the ranks.

846 with Macca, SOS and Averillo left

Probably just fall short of 1000 unless Averillo smashes out another good score

Main downers have been popular except for SST injury & maybe Peachey bit of low score. More missing out on the big scores this week

Will be interesting to see if I can afford IPap for SST, but boat has probably sailed a long time ago

Under par is the new par.

At least I hope it is, because that's the only way I make par this round

976 with SOS and Bird to play which seems a bit above average, couple of poddie guys doing decent in Capewell, Welch and Turpin I guess. Worried about a tumble if Tohu goes well today

Ummmm y’man above aside. Nearly everyone is 800s with couple to go and saying RIP rank.

Is this wider forum not a pretty good benchmark yet?

In other words, those on track for 950ish are fine. I think the round has been largely underwhelming unless you own about 5 fullbacks and Papalii to go with Cleary captain

Tempted to trade Riki to Tommy Turbo next week if Papy is out for a while

On track for about 915 have gone from being happy with my team to it being a mess in the space of a week, going to be more trade headaches next week

That's probably a good trade even if Papy is fit

@Rabbits21 I admire your passion. Your objectivity however is a bit out of whack.
Glad you enjoyed the game.

Next week will be interesting with a few popular players in doubt through suspension or injury.
Pappy, Latrell, Momirovski......
I hope Niu is back in first grade as my only back up for WFB and CTR.

952 with O’Sullivan to go.

How much longer can I possibly hold Brimson the flog?

You are telling me I’m the not the only one who does not own all of Cleary, Ipap, Ponga, Frizzell, Jerome Hughes, To’o, Moses, Ramien, Nikora, Trell and Turbo?


Anyway, 822 with 4 great lads left, Alvaro, Bird, Egan and SOS.

What I can’t cop is the BS re the Garner incident. He made a very good run and then off the ball after Latrell passed Garner held him down for 15-20seconds and instigated it so Trell was thrashing his legs to try get back in the play. If Garner didn’t hold him down then Trell doesn’t lash out.

Firstly, 15 seconds before Garner got kicked, the Tigers were in possession. If you ate going to exaggerate for effect, at least make it in the realms of possibility.

Secondly, next time you watch a game, count 2 things. The number of times a player holds on to a defender for 1 or 2 seconds too long. And the number of times that defender gets kicked in the head. One of those numbers will be much bigger than the other

Old mate currently in first has all three so he might be in for some hurt. Latrell seems pretty popular with some of the top teams (not here though?) so a decent suspension might be good for fanatics fortunes

Just need an 80+ from Averillo to crack the 1000

It's weird to me that some on here are trying to say back kicking towards someone's head is justifiable if you're frustrated with them holding on to you.

Is that really the type of game those people want?

Haas will have to wait for me. Will look at bringing in Turbo as I cant rely on Simonsson as my backup wfb. Will prob need to bring in another ctr too so that Roberts can sit in my emgs until after rd 13

Is Brimson to Turbo a bit reactionary?

Brimson has lost 150k+ now, so anyone I trade in will need to make 300k to be worth it technically.
I can only see that happening by bringing in another cow but no WFB cows to speak of

I know the frequency of Latrell and suspension being used in the same sentence is the reason I stayed away. I’d suspect there are quite a few others here with similar views.
