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

Jumping Marlin wrote:Random thought for the day, prompted by a comment attributed to Knights coach Adam O'Brien in todays paper.

O'Brien essentially said:  Panthers are so well drilled in attack they can form their patterns so quickly and run them play after play.  We (Knights) need to aim to get there.  Lots of work to get so well drilled.

Likewise, Trent Robinson often talks about his defensive system as a like a living breathing organism, that take a truckload of training to get right.

So, when someone like Josh McGuire moves to the Dragons and gets picked with 4 days of arriving, does it mean:

a) Hook is crazy.  He should have McGuire learning the St George systems for weeks before setting foot on the ground playing first grade; or
b) Hook is crazy. All those guys who trained and bonded all pre-season get shown it was for nothing.  An outsider can come in and get a game at me or my mates expense; or
c) O'Brien and Robinson are crazy. They sprout stuff to the press to make them sound good - anyone can fit in quickly and systems not so important as long; or
d) I'm crazy and shouldn't pollute the site with meaningless random thoughts.

The shot of Clifford scared me but there's a photo there of Hampton who looks fine.

Four red dots this week:  Niu, Tino, Papy, Milf
I can field 17 without trades - but means playing all of SoS, Roberts, Uto, Walker and Isaako.
So many exciting trade opportunities...  Trbo, Verrils, Moses, Ipap, Fog,
I think I have to feel the trading experience again.  Don't I?

Fox late mail is that Hampton is battling a rib complaint....pretty ambiguous and could be just recycling the other story mentioned earlier
