NRL Fantasy 2021 Part 42 - TLT Return of the MILF

This is where I'll be.  Already have Peach so my trades look the same expect Moses for Turpin.  I'll be running the same back 3 for a bit, but honestly, it doesn't really concern me at all.  Having Haas for the next 5 weeks I'm starting to really think is a priority.  Getting Haas now means a solid captaincy backup also if Cleary gets rested after Origin.

I think it probably sets me up to run a few weeks without trading (of course, if I were to avoid injuries/suspensions/players being dropped).

Probably have to grab Verrills next week though, he will be a must have, but shouldn't shoot up too much this week.

I think Walsh will just miss out. I could get him instead of Peachey though.

My thinking also.  Maybe Walsh for me if he cements a spot would be a pickup for the WFB cover, but yeah, but potentially Verrills but not worrying about Haas or Moses for me hopefully lets me sit for a bit and then use the 4 trades in round 13.  Down to 22 trades so no real option but to sit.

Not sure I'd get him over Peach unless the money will be used elsewhere. I want to see another game from him.

Can just do a single SOS > Haas.

Let’s me keep Papy, Momo and have one last look at Turpin to see if last week was an outlier with the 40/40 minutes split. Tino returns next week to help bulk up the MIDs.

Think this is the safest way to play it

For everyone that is on the fence about walsh he seems to be the poor man's burton shit loads of potential even if he is in and out of the side given he stays fit he will continue to gain price rises and not many 250k options to free up some cash if you get him in I believe it shouldn't be as a long term play in 17 role just someone who seems like they will slowly make you some cash and could provide cover if the stars align and to be fair I don't see him missing many weeks given the warriors luck this season plenty more injury's to come

If Papy is only playing around 30 mins off the bench in origin then I don't think he gets a rest from club matches during the origin period.

Leaning towards holding and hoping he is named next week.

I think Walsh is worth the risk, definitely plays this week and potentially next to add WFB coverage for the next two weeks, and is cheap enough that he can hopefully hang around and provide WFB coverage more often than not.

No WFB cover in case Teddy doesn’t play? Or just run with 16? Probably my only reason to get Walsh this week

My trade plans personally come down to Ted and Simo. If Ted is ruled out and Simo scores 8, then I may need a rethink.

You haven't heard of the one and only, Bailey Simonsson ?

Bonus (for this week) is he plays tonight.

Ah forgot about that old chestnut Simo.

As you were

Pap + SOS to to’0 and peach.

I don’t like either as players, but they doing good fantasy things. Hopefully both playing 13. No trades for a few weeks

I don’t have any WFB cover if Teddy doesn’t play unless I trade in Walsh but I think Haas is worth the risk of playing 16

Probably something like Haas vs Walsh + Alvaro/Verrills if Teddy doesn’t end up playing

Cook
Crichton, Uto, Watson
Fifita, Schuster
Cleary, Townsend
Hampton, Bird
Tedesco, Laurie, Trbo

J. Brailey, Simpkin, Walker, Pappy
SOS, Fui, Roberts, Leniu

Townsend -> Haas
Papy -> Ponga/Moses?

Moses is straight swap for Chad. Would have to play Jet if Tedesco out
Ponga means playing Walker at hlf. Don't need to play Jet if Tedesco out and can put Laurie on bench if Tedesco plays

Next week SOS -> Verrills if Marschke disappears to make some cash to get Papy back either before or after origin if named

If Niu sneaks into the centres this week I think he is a better option than both Roberts and Reimis. Will have to keep an eye on final teams

Should know today given the usual fuss over Broncos training runs..

Considering the likes of Ted's 6 last week plus others playing Roberts, I agree.

I wonder when there'll be news on Ted, if any.

See what Robinson says in the coaches media, hopefully today.

Ikuvalu did media this week, probably means nothing though. No hints, he just said "hopefully I get a game this week".

Lol, poor bugger. I hope he gets a game too then. Just not replacing Ted.

  Is his left arm just dangling here ? A pisstake on his injury history ? 

Spoiler:

I just assumed he used Dugan's body as the base.
