Nrl Fantasy 2021 Part 44 - Why are people so unkind

I am keen on Walsh, and I also think they will make room for him in the 17 somewhere. However saying that, I won't be picking him up as he doesn't play rd 13.
He may make it into my team in round 14 if he's not too expensive

Yeah at this stage I am. He's round 13 player that has the potential to kick on between now and then. I'm hoping for a return to form similar to Averillo, who I'm glad I held when everyone was offloading him.

Worst case and he flops again I can always turn him into Haas in the next week or 2.

Ive played this game long enough to learn not to dump a player after just 1 bad score. Trades will be much more valuable in the closing rounds.

I doubt Tino will be a Rd 13 player. He’ll be suiting up for the cane toads.

Assuming Roberts is out I’ll need a centre.  No obvious other players to sell, so with Roberts + bank I can get anyone up to about $440.

Sucker for punishment - my current short shortlist is the Mighty Joey Leilua.

Best option out of: Matterson, TPJ, Barnett, Lucy, Grant

Matto has more cash to bleed & Grant origin so probably rule those two out?

Grant starting should be great value at under $700k when he starts playing 80 minutes. Would bring him in as a POD despite Origin. Fortunately only have 2 or 3 Origin players currently.

Alvaro to Haas, Stefano to Cini. 21 trades and 241k in the bank.


Need a favourable TLT like a fit Hampton and my WFB's back or I could be in some trouble.

Brailey
Watson, Crichton, Haas
Fifita, Schuster
Munster, Cleary
Hampton, Bird
Laurie, Papenhuyzen, Teddy

Moses, Walsh, Harris, Walker

Simpkin, Verrills, Cini, Roberts

Between rounds 12-13

Walker averaging 55 with 1 score less than 44. Happy to play him in my 17, can loop him most weeks if you need to. Walsh with 400+ km should be fine too.

Verrills isnt setting the world on fire. I expect Walsh to stay in the team. Is one guy that has stood up the last 2 weeks, can't see him getting dropped.

Verills just needs the minutes. He is going how pretty much everyone expected him to be going. 2 games back from a 9 month layoff, he will only be better for the run.

I don't believe he will get half the amount of kick meters he had next week they want to let him play his style of footy according to brown and he pretty much recycled the Sam walker speech but I do believe they will stop going to him for the last play a lot more to limit the pressure and brain farts while he gets accustomed to first grade

Has a huge boot on him which should help him keep KM up kicking from his own half. Don’t mind if nikorima takes a few extra in the warriors half. The kid has the magic in him

Is it just a fill in until you get one back, ie Momirovski?
If so, what about Cini, assuming he’s named.
If you need a more permanent centre, a no frills Hopoate is still below 400k.
Kelly and Cotric are probably the only others worth looking at.
I wouldn’t be riding the Joey roller coaster.

Interview with Grant saying the starting hooker role is still week to week and doesn't know who will be starting this week. Feels bad as an owner but still got faith in Grant with 60 minutes.

with 23 trades left, is it okay to go

Turpin -> Moses
Alvaro -> Klemmer

Feel as though i get two keepers there and can live with 21 trades for a few weeks?

My battered team:

Not having a backup center too dangerous?

Given Schuster and Sam Walker will peak and be moved on before round 13 is it a good idea to grab Fogarty now?

Can do uto to fogarty in one trade, saves the last reserve problem for me. Team will be:

JBrailey
Haas, Ipap, Watson
Crichton, DFifita
Cleary (c), Moses
Peachey, Averillo
Tedesco, To'o, Laurie

Fogarty, Schuster, SWalker, Roberts (free look at CHN)

CHN, Walsh, Simpkins, Leniu

Josh Curran could also be a quick cash grab with 4 rounds to play before the bye. Could do Leniu to Curran but with Yeo on origin duty I'm sure Leniu should get more gametime.

Talau is now facing one week out with early plea so maybe Cini could play centre for a week. Roberts to Cini might be popular.

Don't like Klemmer as an option at all sorry bro. avergaing 48.5. You'll want higher than that for once of yoru mid spots....Tohu, Crichton, iPap, TPJ, Barnett, Murray, Yeo, Twal... you get the jist

Feel like Schuster and Walker are potential keeps for R17 given how dire that bye round is

That's a lot of halves!

Yeah fair enough thanks , better to go Fog then? I only have $1,289k to spend to Moses + Fog is bang on - if i was to go to TPJ then i'd have 579k... Twal/Yeo might work with Fog, but then don't they play origin? (still not sure how this whole R13 thing works)
