Nrl Fantasy 2021 Part 45 - Back for more backs

Think ppl here are being overly negative on Cini. He has been playing well in KOE cup and racking up some massive post contact metres (albeit from fb). He added some spark to the tigers backline which has been missing all year.

His js is decent, he will play for at least the length of time that Roberts is out (Tigers dont have any other outside backs fit and contracted to the top 30) and if he plays well Id expect the coach to stick with him over Roberts, particularly if the team does ok in the next few rounds (entirely possible with the draw).

Roberts return probably just pushes Mbye back to the bench?

Thinking if I bring in Cini I can ride him for a few weeks until he inevitably gets pushed out of the side, then jump straight on to Lomax where he should be back from injury. Hopefully avoiding the whole centre musical chairs for the rest of the year

Suggests Hodgson was going to be dropped to the bench before he was injured at training.

Avo's actually a decent player. Just waiting for his scores to tank though.

The Starling radar is getting louder again.

With tino back does peachys points take a dive and anyone needing wfb I suggest getting brimo back now Corey t isn't there I believe his scoring will be a lot closer to last year's

Any reason why I shouldn't do the following trades?

CThompson to TPJ
Hampton to Cini

Leaves me 175k in the bank and 21 trades, looking to use only one in the next 3 weeks after this (only using 2 this week because both my sells are injured long-term)

Brailey
Angus, Welch, Watson
TPJ, Fifita
Cleary, Moses
Cini, Bird
Teddy, Laurie, Doueihi

Schuster, Walker, Simpkin, Uto

Alvaro, Verrills, Papy, Momo

Plan with this is to sell Momo to Peachey if he doesn't get back in the team next week otherwise hold trades except to cover injuries. Verrills can stay since he's too cheap to sell to anyone remotely good

If ruling players out based on 'shit team', that's basically more than half the league Dragons are 6th for reference.

Is it too late to hop on Reimis Smith?

Dual, R13, clear attacking upside, negative BE.

Can do Reimis + TPJ with 0k leftover.

His floor is very low so don't be surprised if he chucks up a 10 the week you buy him. That said, you can do worse than him, and the Storm seem to be going right a lot

Just had a look and so far 5 of my 12 trades will be injury related (Lodge, Davey, Lam, Hampton, Moylan) 4 droppings (Milf, Liddle, Riki Niu) and 1 suspension (Tino). Fuck me.

Waddell has been sneaking under the radar too

If you want Zac Cini but with more job security, Will Chambers is only 4243k

Doesn't play r13 and his scoring in 2019 was woeful, but he has been close to a 40 point scorer in the past.

Gives almost $200k as a Hampton downgrade. Only needs to play this week, and whenever someoen gets injured/dropped/suspended (so probably just in rounds 10, 12, 14-18, 20, 23-24)

Not sure if I’d buy Chambers for 4243k

As a Reimis owner, I think trading him in off the back of 5 tries in 2 weeks is madness. I'll be moving him on as soon as round 13 is over

Fucking centres. Turpin + Hampton will be out, tossing up the following:

a) SCrichton + Barnett

b) Cini + Haas

c) Cotric + Macca

or the tempting, big play of Peachey + Starling.

Thoughts please?

Alvaro to Haas
Hampton to Crichton or maybe Avo

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

Moses, Harris, Walker, Stefano

Simpkin, Papenhuyzen, Roberts, Verrills

I have to keep Stefano because of my disastrous injury crisis. Two red dots in Roberts and Verrills ain't good either but oh well.

I like this thinking... get Lomax just before rd 13 at discount

Hampton out, Ramien or Peachy in?
Need a centre so might as well make it someone who I keep since Roberts is a dud

I picked up Starling in my POD team
