NRL Fantasy 2021 Part 38 - Milkshakes, Centers and travel bubbles

Wow this Hampton chat has ramped up! All my bags are packed, I’m ready to go.

Now do I play Stefano or trade Tino?

How much longer do you think I can keep playing Welch?

I've been looking to move him on in next couple of weeks. Finucane back soaks up some middle minutes + when Grant eventually starts BSmith back in middle rotation. Might be 2 weeks might be 3 but don't think you can hold until origin

Are people considering a Turpin to verrillis trade? Gives you another 400k to play with and from what I can see Turpin has peaked out and at risk of less minutes with the Levi signing. And when verrillis plays 80 should score 50+. Which I am assumming he is the plan in the next week or two

Not sure if going to the Hamptons or the Lodge. Or I’ll just get Verrills. Sorry, that last bit didn’t work.

I hear the weather is Verrill good at my Lodge in the Hamptons

I reckon Turpin is a wait and see because there is a good chance that he might go back to playing 80 in a week or two especially if they want Karmichael Hunt in the team

are you concerned that if Burton continues to play well and with Edwards back at FB, momo might not get back in?

Why would u do this to me ?;

Honestly though, I don't think it's possible he misses out but I could be totally wrong. I definitely won't trade him early because of this possibility, only if it panned out that way would I trade down the line, weeks away. 
Would u straight up trade Momo now to a solid centre and skip Hampton and forget Momo ?

Was going to post the same thing. You can't leave Burton out, he's incredible. Unless Momo goes to the wing for Staines?

All depends on team make up and what other trades you gotta make this week.

It would sway me a little bit to trade momo as I would hate to hold for 3 weeks and then him not even make the side but like you, I do think he will take his spot back in the team. I would just be concerned that since Burton has had a go at centre (and done well) that we haven’t seen who are the top 2 centres out of critter, momo and burton.

Maybe just something to consider and sorry for planting the doubt haha

Sorry to hear the news Rabbits. At least your uncle is at peace now. Hope you and your family are coping the best you can in the situation.

I think your trades are simple. Niu to Hampton and Momo to Lomax/Peach/Doueihi whatever you can afford.

Not sure they can drop Staines either. Difficult one for momo owners

Damn it, I am probably going to have to do Latrell to Turbo as my second trade. I don't like it at all but it makes sense. It will give me the cash to probably get a keeper in another position next week but I still not comfortable with it.

My thoughts.

Deal with it when it happens. Get some cover and play on.

Spare a moment to celebrate the potential non start of the super league in football and the destruction of clubs over 100 years old for pure fucking greed! Man City and Chelsea are trying to pull out so hats off but all the owners involved are absolute fucking scum

My thoughts are with you @Rabbit21, sorry for your loss.
It looks like your team needs a WFB and a CTR to field 17 this week. Maybe a Turbo and a Hampton if you don't want to spend too much cash.

Agree 100%

Now piss VAR off and all will be well in the world

Should be huge repercussions now and fans don’t deserve it but can’t let the scum at the top get away with it

Nice! Pending any more injuries, Leniu will be the only one left on my chopping block next week so I'll be able to wait for a good trade before I punt him. With Hampton in my team I'll be able to cover centre while Momo's out, and I have Doueihi to cover Papy while he's out (thank god I bought him, otherwise I'd be in the shit this week)

Yeah Dooie seems a gud move. I have Leniu also, one to move on asap also. Only banked two trades so far, feels insufficient.

Riki and Mitchell to Moses and Turbo for me this week.
I won't have any WFB/CTR cover so may need to look at that next week. Hampton may be a stop gap solution after all.

Where is this 17yr old son of promise Robbo? Next TLT would be a good time to name the kid in the team

Yeah this is phenomenal, i was going to post last night. Absolutely ludicrous and short sighted. The top two German teams and PSG in France opted out from the outset which was an awesome stance.
