NRL Fantasy 2021 Part 57 - Lead with your chin

Kind of amusing that Lolo, Lodge and even a couple of smokies in McGuire and Kerr would all possibly have been of interest in this scenario, if they weren't also suspended. Lolo not looking great so far this year, but would have been a nice price and excuse to bring him in this week...

Bit tougher deciding whether to play 16 in high scoring position. Thinking Crichton to IPap and Walker to Walsh

Would currently leave 7k buffer of Watson to Tohu in one trade in R14 which is dangerously close and probably unlikely to be successful in R14

That bench looks horrible for iPap. 3 edges waiting to take minutes off him.

Any chance Suaalii slots in again this week?

At the moment (after trades) I have 17 starters, but I'd sure like at least one back up. Especially a back up I could loop in if Isaako gets a single digit against Melbourne.

Does that Pap news make Hynes more attractive or less? Thinking less. He'll want a few games in to play Origin 2 you'd think.

If I'm NSW I'm picking Wade Graham ahead of Matterson or TPJ with Crichton out Been a bit meh this year with injuries, but when fit he's a top quality player who's better the bigger the game.

Next 5 games are great too

Dufty listed as indefinite.

I wish the dude was in my team but I'm willing to accept I missed the boat. Can't blame others for being tempted by the quick points and dollars up for grabs, though.

2 words. Dunamis Lui.

I hope BA plays Niukore at ctr instead of Blake, who leaked points last round. Probably not going to happen though

The thing with Hynes is that he not just covers for Papy.

I feel the same but turning Crichton into him is tempting.

I'd prefer TPJ, we need to match the intensity of Fifita and TPJ offers that and then some.

Can’t see him playing origin this year now with the news

Need a mid now, thanks Angus.

Thoughts on the following:

a) Pap + Walker to iPap + Hynes

b) Pap + Stefano to Hynes + JFH/TPJ

c) Pap + Crichton to iPap + McCullough + 200k

Thinking a at the moment

Jurbo to start second row now with TPJ on the bench is my thoughts. TPJ to come on the edge around 30 mins with Jurbo into the middle rotation.

A for me

Is Doorey in the Bulldogs team on merit?

I'd probably go

Haas Cook Jurbo
Friz Graham
Murray

Wighton/Guth, Paulo, Brown, TPJ/Yeo

Bench impact a-go-go and I don't really rate Saifiti. Thinking about it, if they're picking on form/combinations then Martin had a shot as well with a Cleary/Luai pairing. Don't really see Matterson there anyway.

With Crichton out, isn’t the NSW edge Murray and Frizell? I’d also just pick Wade Graham if that’s not the plan.

Hence raising more uncertainty again for Hynes.
