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

I’ll be selling next week to Verrills.

His trades were frequent and usually dodgy.

Speaking of the old night crew

With Slatsy, we tried to get him across.  FB PM'd him to get him in a League prior to Round 1 every year for the first 3 years of Fanatics starting.  Had a couple of chats but he never ended up signing up.  He does post on Rogues, or maybe Renegades, still every now and then.  Although being Round 7 now his activity will drop off as he is probs already out of trades somehow

@Teeth Eater I’m very glad you finally got Cleary mate you had to do it!

I’m hoping for something like a 77 from Haas tomorrow! If Turpin only gets 60mins I’ll also be cursing. The way my season has gone so far I bet he gets 60mins....

My trade outs so far have been Lodge, Host, Davey, Lam, L. Croker, Avo, Liddle, Riki, Niu, Momo..... it’s just been issue after issue!

I was hoping Leniu would not be a sell yet but he’s yet another issue!

I’m hoping Jet can score even a 28-30 this week, give me something ppllleeeaasseeee I bbeeeegggggg!!!

I know it’s extremely unlikely but I’d like a Brisbane win tomorrow for my Uncle!

I'd love to save some trades next week but he isn't making it easy.

That was multiple injuries that needed cover in round 1. Was always intended to be 20-30 minutes in a normal game.

Just got to hope Moses Leota makes origin

Leniu is a sunk cost for me. I'll just leave him in EMG until Rd 13

You and I will be out of trades by round 17 mate!

Lenius minutes this year;

Rd 1 - 38
Rd 2 - 29
Rd 3 - 27
Rd 4 - 24
Rd 5 - 25
Rd 6 - 20
Rd 7 - 17

That's a scary looking trend. Not sure what to make of it.

The only thing I can hope is if Api comes back next week, Brandy said Kenny drops put. Hopefully May gets used to give Api a rest. Would be hard to see him play 80 off the bat which would free up a few more forward minutes.

He's currently expensive AF, but Burton could be a very interesting CTR option over the byes with Cleary & potentially Luai missing for Origin and then maybe being rested over byes

Pretty good start again, happy with the To'o trade even though there were some unsustainable stats making up the numbers (TS & TO)

4-1 six agains and 2 infringements against so al up 6-1 against you so far!

Contrary to NRL fans believe, teams don't have to end the game with the same penalty count. The team that infringes on the rules the most ends up with the most penalties against

Definitely on Burton - it's hard to see his price dropping under $500k, but he'd definitely be an interesting one to have over that period

I suspect he's carrying a minor injury. He hurt his shoulder in the early rounds and I did notice he's still taped up yesterday.

Wayne Gretsky fantasy hockey situation where they divided him into goals and assists. Of course the bastard was still the number 1 and 2 picks.

Separate Cleary's points into base and attacking as 2 players

At first glance it looks like my crypto, but it's not going down quick enough.

Spoiler:

To'o scoring his try
