NRL Fantasy 2021 Part 54 - Flippity Floppity Boo

I do love the wild MTB rumours, as much substance as any other journo. Any update on Hodgson mate?

If Walsh goes 45-50 and Laurie goes 30-35 over the next 2-3, there will be a decent gap price wise between them.

And if Laurie goes 45-50 and Walsh goes 30-35 there'll be a decent gap too. The hope is they stay roughly in their lanes (or the latter version of events if you own Laurie and not Walsh).

Laurie averages 41.8 - dragged down by a low of 17 when the Tigers got caned by Manly. He's been a bit down lately too, but his base of TBs and MGs has been pretty solid. Warriors and half a Dragons side (who he put 69 on a few weeks ago) are not the toughest opposition.

Walsh's average is too hard to figure out - he's played 3 different roles really; at 5/8 he saved his score with KMs (51), his bench roles have been saved by tries or big minutes through injury (23 and 71 - granted this came at FB), and he's had one good hitout at FB but the points came late against the Storm (44). He could be anything in a full game, and he could be off the bench next week.

The Mayor.

I'm bringing in Suaalii on the Taulagi principle.

Taulagi scored what I expect of roughly three rounds of a centre in one game.

I'm just hoping Suaalii has one big score, 50+, then I don't care if he doesn't play next week because any other centre I brought in for two weeks probably scores 13 and 28 in those two games anyway.

I’m going with
Welsh to Fogarty
Simpkin to Hynes

Need to decide who not to play out of

Laurie and Isaako

Both hanging in my team until R13.

I’d play Laurie out of those two I think

I probably wouldn't buy another back

Tigers better chance of getting Laurie points against Warriors than Isaako doing well against Roosters imo. 

So in reality literally flip a coin and blame the gods when you're wrong.

Cannot really see what to do this week? Don't really NEED to make any trades but wouldn't mind bolstering my R13 squad a little. Any help lads?

Brailey
Gus iPap Watson
Shoey RyMat
God Moses
Bird Scritta
Turbo Teddy Laurie

Fog Walker Starling Walsh
Pappy Leniu Roberts Simpkin

21(2) trades and 300K itb.

On the fence with holding pappy. Want Leniu for R13 and Roberts + Simpkin stinking up my money making so are trade outs. Currently have 10 for R13 with Pappy (if left out), Roberts and Simpkin possibly making it 13... However, I can't see Tigers having any origin players so don't see Roberts or Simpkin finding their way into the side.

Don't really have any trade in targets - Hynes, Koro (not scoring very well), Macca, Lucy, someone else?

You are in a great spot mate! Good amount of trades with no big fires to put out. If I were you I'd be holding Papy (as a final 17 WFB) which means you have even more trades to play with. 

I've personally gone Talau because he's cheap, seems to be a regular in their side, and can get a decent score with a try. You can go Roberts to him and even make 7k. Almost guaranteed 13 scorer as well. 

With 300k ITB and no Edge cover you could grab Lucy in for Simpkin which is nice. Macca is probably losing cash so could wait till next week to grab him as you're 4k short of him (unless you do the Roberts > Talau trade). 

Just a few thoughts for ya. Anyway nice team!

Walsh vs Beanz is an easy decision

Thanks all. I could not bring in Hynes at all and hold the trade. I’ll think about it until 3 seconds before the Tigers game.

If, big if, paps doesn’t play origin, and the blues wins in a blow out, I can’t see them reshuffling a winning team to fit him into the squad unless injuries.

Wouldn't be surprised if Kosi starts on the wing and RTS fullback so Walsh can hold his bench spot. Brown obviously has a plan where Walsh isn't up to the 80 minute week in week out grind of the NRL

More the fact he would be likely to be rested if he played origin

@bigbruno Same situation for me and I will play 16 this week, hoping Herbie is back next week

Cheers for the thoughts mate. It's hard. I think Roberts has more chance getting back in over Simpkin so it is really hard

Is Mbye to the dragons an actual possibility? What would his role there be?

Was planning to trade him in this week as Ctr with the thought he'd be a safe 20-30pts even off the bench for the tigers
