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

Lucy/Frizz - Depth: Fifita, Schuster

Moses/Munster - Depth: Cleary, SoS, Walker

Trbojevic - Depth: Tedesco, Papy, Laurie, Isaako

Also looking at Barnett, Young and Twal a little. But dont need MID cover as I have Lodge outside the 13, and not sure how Barnett goes longterm without foal kicking. Hudson is boosted by tries in the opening rounds.

Munster and Moses are hard to seperate. Moses being slightly cheaper and less of an Origin shot.

Lucy has the best floor most likely, but is less likely to ball out of control like the other two. Frizell has a lower floor than Lucy but looked amazing last week.

Trbojevic has the highest ceiling imo and the cheapest price but I have a lot of picks at WFB, and could swap out Isaako/Laurie which will cost a fair bit.

How many points has he got for kicking tiny horses????

Barnetts DPP and round 13 availability is nice, Lucy is you get what you pay for and Friz will play SOO.

My personal opinion is that a play for Trbo is a play for $$ as long term you don't want a WFB in your 13-17 so you will want to cash in on the odd man out at some point. i.e. it is two trades

Moses > Munster at this point in time

I need to bring in a MID to replace Tino. I have enough coin for either Haas or Harris. Logic dump below, please correct me or let me know if I have missed something that I need to consider.

*Haas has higher ceiling but a lower floor (small sample size of 3 matches this season)
*Haas will play R13 if not selected for origin. On current form and the pace of the game, I think its quite likely he doesn't get selected, however there is always the potential for him to be selected for game 2
*Harris wont play R13 however he is ineligible for origin so no chance of getting rested from club matches
*Harris is very consistent and priced appropriately $799K
*Haas is potentially overpriced at $878K

Still tempted to pay the excise and go for Haas, but am swayed by the monster scores of last year and not sure he is playing enough minutes to consistently hit those heights

That 74 from Farnworth looks pretty impressive on the stat sheet.
Panthers vs Broncos is the question though isn’t it?

I'm leaning towards punting on IPap over Haas to save the coin to potentially turn Turpin into Moses next week if Levi hurts Turpin.

I just couldnt do Hampton. Would’ve been on it 2 or 3 weeks ago if I needed a CTR at the time (ie. if id known Niu would be dropped). Over 300k it’s a nope from me, especially as I reckon Cowboys want a new half ASAP - there were already rumours of Clune being part of the McGuire deal, the Chad signed for next year and could go early maybe...

Also very reluctantly holding SST because moves still feel sideways if he’s fit, and they play too late on the weekend to see first with the replacements I’d potentially want

Why is it a given that Townsend goes early?

2k short of Tino and Riki to Herbie and Pangai. Bit ugly grabbing two Broncos players as well.. but I dunno.

I could punt Milford instead of Tino

Didn't consider Scri as I was all set on Herbie....the allure of the 'good team factor' is tempting. I just think Hampton is filling in at HLF for an ordinary team who are moving around in the market. I want someone with DPP who has decent job security (whatever that means) and can help me out in times of trouble. Basically I need a new Nui.

I still think I'm leaning towards Herbie

After being charged 3 times i can’t believe there has been no mention of this

Fk me I didn't even notice that. That's disgusting. Such a pussy move aswell, like Simpkin is helpless in that scenario. Would love to see someone do the same back to Fatrell and see how he reacts. Deserves all 4 weeks he's getting....

FWIW, which is not a lot based on my NRL fantasy pedigree, I really like a Pangai or Leilua play for edge. Don’t feel either is value, but neither is it paying overs. Both play R13. Both could explode for a 2 try, 80+ performance or two in the meantime.

It’s not - I did say “could maybe go early”. All innuendo. But clearly Cowboys want to move early for a half, if they can. It’s enough for me to not want to stuff around with Hampton, when I already have two green dots across CTR and WFB.

Can I please get some help with my team. Not concerned with overall score just interested in beating my mates in my league. I currently have Pap, Momirovski and Latrell.

J Brailey
Elliott, Watson, Ofahengaue
Young, Fifita
Cleary, Schuster
Momirovski, Rapana
Papenhuyzen, Mitchell, Laurie

Glenn, S Walker, O'Sullivan, Alvaro
Fuimaono, Moylan, Aekins, Liddle

This team has serious issues. Was thinking Liddle out for Simpkin to make some cash then Moylan to Turbo Tom until these suspensions came up. Would have to play short at CTR. I really don't know what to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

The problem is Latrell is a great player but a grub. Every year he grubs it up a bit extra vs the Tigers and has never been pulled up for it. Last Saturday was the culmination of this, and it still irritates me that the Tigers get no advantage from his behavior finally being pulled up.

He knows he got him to cause when he plays the ball he looks at him and then he gives him a nudge and either says “are you alright mate” or “yeah boi did you feel that”

This was 2 minutes after being put on report for the striking Nofoaluma

And here i was thinking my sly pod would go under the radar...

Herbie staying under the radar now is about as likely as Harris starting at lock.....

That would've killed me, probably.

Hampton could still be considered a cash cow. Negative BE and still should be good for a few weeks. It's a gamble but there's every chance he keeps the spot for the year.

Anyone brought him in? MTB?

If Penrith weren't interested in playing Momo, why would they bother trying to fight his charge at the judiciary

They care more about having him this week, than they do when Edwards is back, when they don't need him.

About a thousand teams have traded out James Roberts. Slightly more have traded out James Tedesco

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

Dunno if I wanna trade out Momo. Can’t afford Peachey or Lomax.
