Nrl Fantasy 2021 Part 44 - Why are people so unkind

Might not be my best move but I've gone conservative with injured players.

Niu ---> TPJ

Leaving Fuimaono and Leniu in my 18-21 til at least the bye rounds as long as they're green dots.
I don't see Niu coming back into the 17 anytime soon.

I will likely play Walsh/Walker/Egan and whoever I decide to get out of IPap/Grant ahead of him. He just isn't a good enough scorer not playing 80. Just hoping for some decent scores for some price rises at this point.

The Bludgers have totally shit the bed over the last 2 rounds - gone from 1735 rank in Round 6 to 4275 now. Wanted to start banking trades (cause I'm a stupid trade whore) and now Jet, Hampton & Verills are all out with medium > long term injuries.

Need a centre or I'll be playing 16 (again).
Wait for Momo to return next week, or pick up flash in the pan Cini cheapies?
Like the look of Walsh, kids got serious talent, but with Teddy, Pappy, Turbo & Laurie I don't n need another WFB.
Thinking of grabbing Starling for some cash generation.
The roller-coaster ride of Fantasy Footy continues.

So what’s everyone’s opinion on Walsh? If Aitken and CHT are late inclusions where does he play? Off the bench, dropped?

The Luciano Brothers?

Yeah I fucked that one up.

Anyway I think I’m getting the wrong Leilua. And maybe Wade Graham. Should be good

Jesus, that's some bench. I'll have some coin goats on mine this weekend.

Haha, all good mate. I had a good chuckle to myself thinking about Luciano Luciano and Joey Luciano with their own videogame and best 90's movie.

I wanted to get him, but now not so sure.

Can't see him getting dropped at this point. Bench is possible but not sure how keen they will be to have have a back on the bench. Tough to say what Brown will do though with all these playmakers though.

Super Luciano Brothers?

Anyone game enough to get Starling with all this Hodgson talk on the way out?

Thanks, but I have used a shit ton of trades to get there so that will come back to haunt me and I have two red dots in the squad.

Reports on Hodgson dramas, no longer the captain and reported to be going to Broncos.

Makes Starling really tempting to get on early.

Well that’s the thing I got him last week knowing he will play and I thought Pap would be back.. with Hampton out I’m trying to debate myself weather to bring in a centre and a fullback/wing (momo also out). Either bring in Haas and hope Walsh plays and risk 16 or try bring in a ponga or Teddy.. hmm decisions

Hmm Starling is tempting but Havali on the bench makes me nervous. He went on for Sutton last week. Is that a usual interchange or did Sutton get injured?

I have just enough cash for Starling and Mann for some nice POD options this week.

Havili only played 8 minutes the week he subbed on at the end of the game for Starling

He is not really reported to be going to the Broncos. It says in the article that there was an internal conversation at the Broncos and that is as far as it went.

I think Starling is a risky move. Wait a week and see what Ricky does next week when Hodgson is meant to be back.

Williams was a late out and Whitehead had to play in his position, leaving an open edge spot for Young. You can’t rely on last weeks rotations. You probably can’t rely on any Raiders forwards except for Elliot Whitehead who isn’t the best fantasy scorer.

Edited to add: Ricky isn’t consistent in how he play’s Havili either. So hard to pick. Typically Starling or Hodgo will play most of the game, if not all.

And it's for 2022, not now.
