NRL Fantasy 2021 Part 49 - Funtime Fifita

That nrl.com article was pretty damning for Hodgson. He's done at the Raiders it seems.

"Hodgson declined to elaborate on why handed over the captaincy, referring to a club statement last week that shed little light on the matter either, saying "I don’t need to be starting any more fires" on Wednesday."

so there was most definitely a blow up/argument

Yep reading it all I thought was that he and the Raiders are trying to save face by saying things like Hodgson and Ricky are on good terms... there's no riff, etc. Hodgson wants to play for 4 or 5 more years but probably won't be at Raiders, etc.
Also Hodgson is happy to let his ego aside to give Starling the go... blah blah blah

Basically saying the separation is amicable.

Yeah I’ve decided to punt based on reading between the lines of that article and other happenings in the last few weeks... go Starling now and bank the extra $$$ for R13 guns from next week. They either all have a little to fall or won’t rise much anyway

Classic Mal Meninga stuff this.

"gastro bug"

Fifita was "in hospital for a few days"

Dave Taylor "fell out of bed"

I swear the only people who ever get "gastro" are NRL players.

I manage truck drivers. They get it too. Always on a Sunday night its remarkable

If he’s in a role where he scores 55s he’s not leaving my team all season

Yep! Stefano may well play R13 but a 50K difference between a bench player scoring 30 points a game and a Hooker scoring 61 ppg this year for a team who will kick into gear sooner or later. No brainer..

Fifita > Matterson almost a like for like for a R13 gun also.

Matt will not be happy with this NRL.COM article.

Huge

No way I thought he’d leave Sydney. Exactly the kind of player Broncos need. Big for Milf I reckon.

I'm trading Alvaro down to Gamble this week, but would it make sense to do Dfifi? Im resigned to the fact he has to go as he plays 2 in the next 8.

Alvaro will likely lose 10-20k over the next few weeks, but he's a green dot that'll play.

DFifi opens me up a lot of bank for trade ups next few weeks...

I guess i just dont know whether the green dot is worth more than losing 20k odd

Broncos have their man!! Adam Reynolds will sign off on a three year deal this weekend. A huge coup for the Broncos. He is the man they need. There’s more to come, Nicho Hynes their next target.

Hynes would be a great pickup if they can pull that off too

Hynes very open about a move and wants to lockdown a No 1 spot... wouldn't put it past them

Renoylds deal start next year ?

Seriously thinking about playing with 16 this week to grab Starling, and then getting my extra CTR next week
