NRL Fantasy 2021 Part 48 - How about those cheapies hey?

I don't like trading out Fifita with his average but 921k on the sidelines for 3 weeks when other EDG options are on the table who are going to take the field.

Interesting info on Reddit about Fifita's upcoming schedule.

2 week suspension.

Out round 10 and 11

Plays round 12

Origin camp round 13

Round 14 is a Saturday game so 3 day turn around (has to travel from Melbourne to Qld) very likely rested (or seriously reduced minutes)

Plays round 15

Plays round 16

Bye round 17

Plays Wednesday origin and has a Friday game (also has to get from Sydney to Queensland) likely doesn't play round 18 (or seriously reduced minutes)

I’m tempted just to set up a PApy hancuff by swapping Hampton for hynes if no news by Saturday. Figure Hynes gets a run or two over the next month or so

You would be playing 15 regardless, neither are available this week, unless you are short of a position.

Short 1 at CTR. If I bring in Olam/Koro and Papy plays that gives me 16

Its also the way that he plays, is either fired up and switched on, or not. Can't see him being fired up in club games after the intensity of Origin, more likely to be going through the motions like he does in some games.

If Papy plays do we expect Hynes to be in the halves for Munster instead, or benched?

Hopefully Tino pulls finger while Fifita is out.

Fifi + Hampton > Haas + Hynes my current thoughts. Alvaro fights on for another day. Also lets me get a look at Flegs role before pulling the trigger on that bad idea waiting to happen.

Also leaves $200k itb for next week's gun show.

Matto play origin ?

Tempting but would guarantee I’m playing 15 if Papy is out

No way around that though, is there?

Better to get max points + bye prep than plug a hole. Most on your out list should be back soonish.

The above trades should give you cash to upgrade Hampton next week to another R13 gun

Do you think if Papy doesn’t play this week his assumed origin spot is in danger?

Can someone please help me determine what score Koroisau (BE 76) needs to lose 20k? I'm having real trouble haha

Unlikely. Frizell and Angus have all but wrapped up the edges. TPJ, Jurbo, Haas, DSai, Klem are all ahead of Matto in my eyes, just to name a few.

By bringing in a CTR with 1 of my trades to get to 16.

Thinking Fifita and Welch to Matterson and Koro. Two extra rd 13 players. Fields a strong 17. If Walker's out, can loop Walsh and Alvaro.

That's what I have done mate. Peek the tracker and help your fantasy fantasy boy in L9 come home strong.

Roughly 50

Egan ---> Gamble
Fifita ---> Haas

Gives me this:

Brailey
Haas, I.Papali'i, Watson
TPJ, Schuster
Cleary, Gamble
Peachey, Roberts
Turbo, Tedesco, Laurie

McCullough, Walker, Papenhuyzen, Bird

Walsh, Fuimaono, Simpkin, Leniu

Going all in for R13 so just need to order trades correctly for the guns

Outs
Munster
Fifita
Tauk

Ins
Mahoney
Matterson
Koro

guys like Schuster will also probably go for someone like Blore if starting by then

Honestly no clue what's going to happen there. I was planning on looping Teddy & Laurie with Hynes on basis he'd drop out but might be too risky

Could be any number of positions Hynes ends up at if Papy plays: 5/8, HOK, bench, left right out

I don't think Hynes has ever played 6 recently, it's always been Jacks/Johns filling in for Munster, but then again I didn't think KBrom was going to be playing 9
