NRL Fantasy 2021 Part 39 - You get an injury, and you get an injury, and you get a suspension!

Rabbits21 wrote:I’m looping Stefano and S. Walker but may not have time to switch S. Walker in for Pap as I’ll be at work. If I have to make a decision in seconds what’s an acceptable score to take from Uto? If he scores less than 40 should I play S. Walker? If Uto scores 40 above then take it?

Any advice please.....

I think 40 is a good line.

Ponga and Verrils  (128k ITB)

or

Moses and Turbo (5k ITB)

Ponga and Verrils are both pretty much must have this season. Moses and Turbo are optional.

Hey Guys,

Need a hand with my second trade! Not sure whether to grab a Mid/Edge in iPap or Tohu who I think will both average 55-60 this year and play R13, someone left field-ish like Lucy who has a nice draw coming up and plays R13, grab a gun who has bottomed out in Moses or just go for full value in someone like Lodge, Verrils, Herbie, Scritta.

Team is
Brailey
Uto Crichton Watson
Schuster Fifita
Cleary Fogarty
Bird Roberts
Teddy Papy Laurie

Turpin Simpkin Walker Jensen
Leniu Moylan Riki Tino

$298K

Trade #1 – Tino > Turbo leaves 335K
Trade #2 – Riki > 826K

Any help or advise would be amazing.

Thanks champions.

I'm going with To'o instead.

I've gone with Brian too

Bump....

This question always comes up and the answer is always usually the same. I'm looping the same 2, and even a 30 from Stefan, I'm inclined to take over Walker at thus point in time. 35-40 would be a no brainer. Walker doesn't seem that built for base stats in fantasy IMO and his defense is going to hurt his score regardless IMO.

How is Walsh not in the system yet?

I think you need a gun mid in the form of Harris or IPap. Lucy good too to bank a little coin.

I have to lock one of Verrills or Walker into my 17. The other will be in a loop with SOS. Who is the better bet out of the 2 roosters players?

Yeah this is my thoughts, Harris and Ipap is the main targets but leaves me pretty short. I guess next week could go someone like Moylan/Leniu to Verrils/Cow and go Turpin to a someone around 700K???

Tohu does not play Rd13 if that influences your decision

Reece Walsh is available. Worth a punt for WFB cover?

Interesting choice in the centres for @NZWarriors this weekend... assistant coach Justin Morgan explains to WarriorsTV on @skysportnz why Jack Murchie will be moving from the forwards to midfield against @storm. https://twitter.com/CraigNorenbergs/status/1385083648072851457?s=19

Verrills I'd say

Thanks! You should have seen it a week or two ago it was even worse...

Trying to get inside the mind of Freddie with his origin team and decide if I should rush Haas in

Given the amount of time Freddie and Joey spend together talking about footy, Joey probably has a significant influence on the team.

Looking at 2020 Joey selected this team (https://wwos.nine.com.au/nrl/andrew-johns-picks-nsw-australia-sides-for-2020/0c79f46f-43d0-4d99-91c7-8f03fb26cc31) which was pretty close. Joey had Fergo (Tupou), Staggs who ended up injured anyway (Gutho), Wade Graham who ended up injured (Cody Walker) and Finucane (Crichton)

On the weekly Freddie and the Eighth webinar Joey is currently going through and selecting his team one position at a time. So far we have Teddy at fullback, Tommy and Addo-Carr wing, Haas and Paulo prop with hint that Saifiti is first man on the bench. Both Freddie and Joey put wraps on Haas in this segment so can probably lock him in for origin.

Im hoping NBrown doesnt get picked. Keen to pick him up considering how cheap he is for what he can produce.

That eels bench looks very favorable for him too

Interesting. I'm guessing Siro being the most likely to spell him in the centres but Curran also possible and even putting Tohu in the centres for a spell would be a good way to rest him from the work in the middle.
