NRL Fantasy 2021 Part 53 - The round's over. The magic lives on.

This means Papalii ruled out of origin

Rules McGuire out of any possible recall too, which could have been on the cards with Collins/Papa/Carrigan out.

I guess going off last year's selections, for Game 1 that means something like:

8. Welch
10. Lui
13. Tino

16. Arrow
17. Flegler/Napa/Horse/Wallace/MoFo/Ofa/Hess (lol)

Is Walker to Starling sideways?

Haven't copped too much carnage (yet) with just the Pap injury, but still probably a luxury trading a green dot. Have to see what happens with Stefano/Simpkin/Leniu/Roberts this week I guess. Held all 4.

Mofo will 100% play origin.
Horsburgh may be next cab off the rank after that.

Not sure if already mentioned but Nathan Brown confirmed today RTS will play on the wing for now on.
Good for my Fantasy team with Walsh but a terrible call as a Warriors fan.

I now have 0 CTRs.

Momo, Peachey and Roberts gone

Playing with 16 this week.

Not trading in another centre

My thoughts exactly.

Dumb, dumb, dumb. You don't see the Roosters moving Teddy just to make room for Suaalii. Storm wouldn't push Pap to the wing to make way for Hynes.

Best half we played all year was first half vs Cowboys with RTS fullback Walsh in the halves. Just need the balls to drop one of CHT/Niko, which really shouldn't be that hard, as neither command a spot on form.

Alvaro gets a reprieve I guess.

Yeah, unless Roberts makes a return I'll probs run 16 until Peach is back. Really can't be arsed bringing in a centre even if it costs me 35-40 points a week.

Might have to do Simo to Walsh while I have the cash then

Any reason not to go ahead with these trades?

Papy to Tohu, Momo to Harper

Leaves 17 trades, 217k and the following team

Brailey
Angus, Welch, Watson
Harris, TPJ
Cleary, Moses
Bird, Harper
Teddy, Turbo, Doueihi

Schuster, Starling, Walker, Laurie

Alvaro, Simpkin, Uto, Verrills

So Walsh is basically a must have I guess?

Probably should hold Riki if he takes the early plea just so I get another number for Rd 13.

What are Milford owners doing? At the going rate he’s going to fall $80k in 3 weeks and all for a round 13 score of maybe 30.

If I sell now and invest wisely, I might make $50k instead in next 3 weeks.
That $130k difference buys at least 10points a week for the rest of the year...more than enough to cover the 30 round 13 points.

(I wonder if TLT may spring a Hunt surprise)

FFS Peachey.
Any chance Cini gets a start for the next 2 weeks?

Tyrone Peachey set to miss 2 games, Herman Ese’ese 3, Josh McGuire 5, Tyrell Fuimaono 5, Mikaele Ravalawa 2 and Tariq Sims 1 if they all plead guilty to match review charges from Sunday’s games.

And just like that Alvaro will be staying in my 21!

Wonder who starts lock. Lawrie could play lock with the polar bear starting.

I think there's more chance the Jet returns this week and scores a tonne mate.

Some people went cheap at CTR to start the year, and paid the price when those cheap centres didn't play, or put up shit scores.

Some people paid extra money for the reliability of Peachey, and those people are reaping the benefits.

Do either of Simpkin or Stefano have much chance of getting a run in Rd13? Just short of Simonsson/SOS to Walsh/Matto, so need to get rid of one of the tigers if I'm going to get those players in.
