NRL Fantasy 2021 Part 46 - Got any more of them tries?

Any MF Doom fans a new album has just been released (recorded before he died)

Opacic’s consistency? Ramien had one 32 including a sin bin and since then has scored 48, 72 and 52 with only one try

If you want a forum opinion it will almost always be the safer/smarter on paper option.

Yeah I get that bro, just thought Ramien might've stepped up to an elite centre this year (if that's even a thing lol)

Seems like you wanted everyone to pick Ramien to justify your gut. I didn't vote but would easily go Opa, no question.

Anyone playing for overall would choose Opacic because he plays for a decent team and plays the first bye. Also less likely to have a brain fart possibly.

If you had mentioned H2H it may have been different.

I was wondering though, if you pick someone like opacic you're gonna keep him so he's going to play every round besides r17 for you. Similarly, if you buy Ramien, you're going to keep him so he's going to play every round besides r13 for you. So overall, they will both play the same number of rounds for you. Does it make a difference whether they play r13 or r17 if they're both considered keepers?

EDIT: Then it just boils down to who you think will score better.

Just on the Thompson injury. I was gutted because of how well he was playing and I just realised now that he will miss origin and it seemed like he had a good chance at making the team

I think ramien is a better pick but he doesnt play rnd 13 and im someone who tries to make moves during byes. I didnt vote tho

Yeah lowkey true. Probs will just end up with Opa cause he's safe. Got enough worries in my team to be stressing about Ramien.

Cheers fellas

I’d say val and coates. Coates literally picked due to his height I recon, can’t have Thompson up against toups. Thompson v to’o would be a fun little battle haha

Hard to see To'o getting in. JAC on one, Toupo or Turbo on the other.

Looks a good player but his role is a bit uncertain. If I had to I'd prefer CHN at a similar price.

Yeah he's awesome, great producer and rapper. The Madvillain album with Madlib is a classic too.

Agree with that. To’o all the rage at the moment though. Turbo and Latrell centres

That you are. I think there’s a big problem with it this year though.

The round 13 team we’ve been left to build doesn’t have many players you’d want until year end or even for rounds 14-16

Secondly the players you really want - iPap, Moses, Peach, To’o... have all bottomed out well before round 10 and if owned, are owned by people well ahead of you in points, who bought them for much cheaper than you’ll acquire

Looking a tricky bye planning year. Same goes for R17 cows

R13 cows are fading with exception of Laurie... players lie Niu, Leniu might not even play. Stefano is going backwards, yet likes of Walsh and Curran are going to cost a fortune come round 14

I don’t know what point I’m trying to make above other than I’m just myself trying to make best decision week to week, but with both byes in mind. Have written off having 15-17 in both, as dont really want it and the final team I’ve written down is worse than usual for byes as the normal Kiwi and Brits (non origin? Good for byes) aren’t there to prop it up

Sam Burgess
Taumololo
Mannering
...RTS


RTS isn’t even in the top 5 WFB options imo so definitely won’t finish the season with him


These guys used to be gold through byes. I guess Tohu Harris is that today

For those who want a punt, Sualii appears to have left the North Sydney team for tonights game

Cautionary note: he didn't play NSW Cup last week either and was 18th man for the Roosters

If you're buying someone for R17 there's more rounds for Murphy's Law to apply and for the player to get suspended/injured before you really want them playing the bye you bought them for

Other than that no real reason I'd say
