Nrl Fantasy 2021 Part 44 - Why are people so unkind

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.

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)

I feel that given we have a finite number of trades and players like Schuster and Walker are putting up perfectly respectable scores it's probably a good idea to think carefully before punting them pre round 17.

Given injury/hia rests/SOO/suspension induced carnage it's unlikely anyone is going to have 8 or 10 trades to blow on sideways trading to get decent bye numbers for both rounds this year.

What I am saying is that with Walker's 88 in his five round average he may peak after round 12 and be ripe for the picking to someone like Matterson/Api/McCullough etc for a straight swap. The bye rounds are also about quick money making plays. Selling high and buying low. For example, say if Burton drops cash in the lead up to bye round enough to buy him hoping he plays round 13 and 14 (Panthers play Friday Night) etc.

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.

CT/Hampton to Cini/Ipap

I know it's a bit late to be buying Ipap but at the same price as Haas, dual position and playing first bye I think he's worth it. Doesn't seem to matter whether he's in the middle or on the edge, he's just a machine

Would leave me with 21 trades and the following team:

Brailey
Welch, Watson, Angus
Ipap, Fifita
Cleary, Moses
Cini, Bird
Teddy, Papy, Doueihi

Schuster, Walker, Laurie, Simpkin

Uto, Alvaro, Verrills, Momo

$36k itb

Can you expand upon what you mean by that because I'm sure any of us would be happy to explain/answer any questions.

Yeah agreed. The one that got away haha.
