NRL Fantasy 2021 Part 57 - Lead with your chin

SJ is interesting on paper, but I just don't think I could handle the stress of owning him given his injury history. The upside is that he is playing for a contract which could mean he will be trying everything.

I'll consider him between 13 and 18. If I'm going to have guys missing the second bye in my team they may as well be top tier keepers

It's all mapped out hey, falling into place !

But over here, I'm stumbling over buckets ass first into pot holes haha...

If you want to make the fantasy gods laugh, tell them your plans. I've had Flegler, Koroisau, Matterson and Bird thrown up into origin contention when I thought they were no chance

Am I right in saying that there's no chance that Fotuaika is available for R12 (i.e. with Papalii and Collins gone, he's pretty much a shoe in?)

Niu > Ramsey
Frees up the cash to do
Walker > Teddy

Means I have tonnes of WFBs in my squad. Appears to be the safest position for suspension under the new rules.

Lol funny lad

Looking towards the byes I have 14 players for r13. Only 4 for r17. Def have traded too much to post a decent r17 side. Prob 10 at best. Hopefully can keep up a decent rank during this period. The early season trade rage is my greatest enemy. I'll be lucky to walk out of origin with 5 trades left for the rest of the season...

Paps out to round 15-16 per NRL Physio. Definitely jumping on Beans now.

Edited to add: post has since been deleted, information unreliable at this point.

Ramsey only one more week right? Dufty back after that?
Or is the thinking he is out of favour?

any love for jackson ford? looking for a playable mid to cover angus who will make money and play the bye. Flegler an outside shot for an origin jersey so dont want to take him on

Which origin stars are people planning to hold?

For me will Keep Teddy. Trade out Tommy and Cleary. Then Waste trades Bringing them back after Origin. Pretty sure I have no other origin stars.

what's he based that on?

Ponissi update yesterday summarised to 'paps should hopefully start team drills in the next few days but he is unlikely for origin'.

First person i've read about trading Cleary, you think he'll have some rests?

Probably based on the Bellyache "3-4 weeks" comment on the weekend, which itself is just a very rough estimate.

His post indicated it was an injury update and I checked it twice before I posted here. That said, I can’t find the post anymore so maybe it was deleted?

Edited to add: it read like new news just in
