    Kobe Hetherington is a hooker

    He used to be but not for quite a while. Has played all season this year at lock (and been going really well). He could fill in at hooker this week i guess, but it wouldnt make sense (altho neither do any other kevy selections).

    Palasia has been playing prop/lock in q cup as well and now has to slot in at starting edge. We dont really have any other options though.

    In short, we are fucked

    Yeah Teddy seems a pretty good price for someone who ranks in the top 10 for WFB this year

    After spending 15 min having a look I think I’m fairly settled on Welsh to Koro and Simpkin to May. Sketch on Koro but I figure it’s only a matter of time before he scored a 70 and we all scramble

    Just quickly revisiting this, if I may.

    Just looking at the team list and casualty ward, team looks like this this week;

    8 - Seumanufagai
    9 - Sione Katoa
    10 - Luke Thompson
    11 - Matt Doorey
    12 - Chris Smith
    13 - Renouf Atoni

    Deitz, Waddell, Elliot and Napa on bench.

    So you'd assume Jackson comes back in and based on form, you'd assume Atoni might stay in starting side, and Doorey goes back to bench, or out of team? Hetherington and JMK return in place of Deitz and maybe Doorey on the bench?

    So, full strength, does Smith hold onto that starting spot? Why is Elliot not in starting side? Hmmm, I don't like it. I was thinking it might be a possibility, but no way Smith has anything locked down, ay? Full strength is probably Elliot and Jackson somewhere in 11-13, and Smith, Waddell and Atoni ruffling amongst each other for that last starting spot? Too risky.

    Sorry, just talking amongst myselves, but I think I just talked me out of considering Chris Smith.

    The way it's looking at the moment, you'd have to think Starling by a distance.

    I've got him in VSDT and can't trade him out at that price. Just going to hold onto him and hope for a late season miracle.

    Was trading Simpkin over Stefan. Now that makes it tricky.

    I think with how I've been burning trades (18 this week pre trades) that I need to just hold Papy and reap the benefits at the end of the year.

    It's nice and easy to be like well I'll just trade him and bring him back in at the end, without needing to navigate the weekly shit storms that get in the way.

    But tbh at this point I'm just saying fuck it to r13 and 17 and trying to put he best team together while trying to keep enough trades for the backend. I've got Fifita sitting there too. But hopefully holding them pays off later when people are scrambling for trades to get them back and I don't need to.

    Unfortunately not only am I a centre short this week, I'm also a forward short with Curran gone. So looking at Curran and Hampton out for Taumalolo and someone under 305k.

    I only have 14 green dots this week, so in a weird positive I don't need to think about how I've only got 1 centre because filling the other two gaps is more important.

    Ive got simpkin but hes gone. Scoring isnt that great in 50 mins and madge seems intent on continuing with the bench hooker thing.

    Anyone know when origin teams are named? Before or after round 12?

    Albert Kelly looks like the best cheap option on paper this week, but the volatility of so many positions in the Broncos side just makes it too much for me to consider another Bronco this year.

    At the end of most years in Fantasy I write down a couple of notes to consider for next year. So far in 2021, the biggest takeaway I have for 2022 Teeth Eater, is to avoid players from terrible teams... within reason. There will be exceptions (like a Haas) but it'll definitely be something I consider in the 2022 pre-season when looking at interesting players in really weak teams.

    It does make me want to steer clear but it is his only sub 50 score of the year. Albeit he has many games where he played less than 80 minutes where his points were boosted by tries.  

    Yeah. I wouldn't trade him in now at that price. Just hope that game was an anomaly.

    toast wrote:Putting my thoughts down to maybe help me decide which way to go. I have 6 red dots: Peach, Papy, Momo, Leniu, Simpkin, Verrills.

    My backs are:
    Bird Peach*
    Laurie To'o Papy* RTS

    477k ITB. 19 trades.
    a) RTS -> Teddy: RTS is bleeding cash with Walsh there and Teddy's probably bottomed out. Seems straight forward to move RTS on as I can't see him being final 17 but means playing 16 which I'm not entirely opposed to if it's CTR.

    b) Momo -> a keeper CTR (like that's a thing): Momo's not playing until SOO so getting someone for two weeks worth of scores and is a keeper makes a lot of sense. Targets include Crichton and Manu but would consider others. Peach to then sit on my bench as cover when he's back.

    c) Simpkin -> Matterson: as someone else has said Simpkin probably doesn't get in without injuries or a shocker from Liddle. Brings in a rd 13 gun. Could do Verrills out for this too to clean out the bank but think I'd prefer to keep the cash to let me bring in other rd 13 guns.

    d) Papy -> anyone: not sold on this one. Kept him this long and trades are getting precious.

    I think I have to double trade but not sure which combination I go with. Any input would be appreciated.

    There's merit behind all those options mate. I'm personally warming to another centre and run Peach on the bench. Momo will play over Origin if you wanted to wait. Simpkin to Matto is good too. I know all that doesn't really help lol.

    Good point mate. He scored 30 last time he played with a try. Might take a punt on Kelly. If I got rid of Stefan though I'd go Manu.
