NRL Fantasy 2021 Part 54 - Flippity Floppity Boo

Imagine he'll either be 5/8 or lock come R13 (assuming Yeo picked), not sure which one

Only game Yeo missed in 2020 had Tamou & Leota prop + JFH lock but Tamou has since left

They have Salmon and pretty sure they promoted young half to top 30 if Luai is in Origin with Cleary

Given all the Centre chat, I thought it might be fun to go on a trip down memory lane;

Back in 2009 when we had 25 man squads we had a position acronym of CTW;

Oh yes, that's right Centre-Wing
You had to have 4 of the buggers starting, and then select an additional 3 CTW-dedicated reserves.

What about Fullbacks you ask?
Just the One fullback, and one fullback reserve.

I guess at least these days you could have To'o, Nofo types, and you the depth was better for injuries (except your 5, 6, and 7th choices were probably shit-house)...
Still, seven spots saved for the two lowest scoring positions in Fantasy (and from memory no points for TB's back then either)

That's exactly how SC is now

Need a stop gap Centre... again. Ideally this fella will just sit in NPR's, hopefully make a wee bit of cahs and be a cash down option later on

TU: Tyrone MAy
TD: Tommy Talau

Both have pretty good JS.

I'm thinking May, I don't trust Talau with Madge as his coach. May seems to be locked in on the bench with Cleary Snr

My guess, is that there's probably a fair chance Eisenhuth plays at Lock if Yeo as at Origin

May & Burton in the halves (unless Burton is an Origin bolter)

I didn't know that. Massively different scoring I imagine.
I've never been tempted to do SC - aside from no prizes for the poor cousins, I'd probably just do a poorer job at both (yes, this is possible)

Miss his musing around the forum. I get my fair share of calls wrong as well so that shouldn't be any excuse to stop posting

Agreed. Love his left of centre thinking, and the fact he doesn't get upset when he absolutely cops it.

Hopefully he's back soon. Enjoy his posts. And need to reel MF back in too.

Dem feels.

Cannot believe Herbie is out now!

If you don’t have Cleary your season was done early. Tough for those that took that risk.

Revraiser wrote:I haven't been looking at news, was that a fresh update from today re Best ?

I've got Momo, Ramien and now Best sitting around playing soggy Sao... it never ends. I was fully charged bringing in Matto and Harris, finally a step forward by choice. ***k these centre caaarnts.

Wow. If ever there was living proof that picking the safer options in this disaster of a position is still not going to save you trades.


Don’t you be buying breaking Bird now!!!

At the moment I have

Out: R. Papenhyuzen + J. Roberts

In: T. Starling + J. Averillo

I do want Hynes and Walsh, but Hynes has less long term appeal than the guys above, while Walsh is electric and should be starting. It really is a crapshoot in terms of if he will get his chance.

Meanwhile options like Crichton, Opacic, Harper, and Mbye are all enticing. Crichton, Opacic, and Harper probably have better Job Security than Averillo. That and Circhton being a DPP WFB makes him a hard one not to grab instead, I just think he averages slightly less than Averillo if he stays put.

Edit: Or I could just say fuck it, Roberts -> Kris/MBye/Leilua and keep Papen, but with D. Fifita already on the pine it feels like too much.

Also need to sit one of these guys.

T. Starling, M. Lodge, S. Walker, T. Flegler, T. Gamble.

Then Laurie v Isaako, but going with Isaako

On the first week Niu isn't in the reserves and ready to step in. Fuckers.

Has to be Gamble after last week surely

As someone that stared at his pathetic score over the weekend

I started with RTS over Teddy. Seems crazy I can trade RTS to Teddy for a small profit. Just not sure about trading Teddy this close to origin and then having to worry about him backing up, but RTS moving to the wing during games makes him far from a keeper.
What are other RTS owners doing?

Yeah I think so, I can actually loop Flegler with Laurie so I may go that route and play Lodge, Walker and Starling.
