NRL Fantasy 2021 Part 57 - Lead with your chin

He was absolutely outstanding on our left edge last week and looked like a natural 6. At times I had to remind myself Munster wasn’t playing.

He has a very low BE, is on 246K, did a fair chunk of kicking and running last week. Plus next week with the like of Munster, Grant, Finucane, Kaufusi and Pappy out he will either find himself on the edge or at half again and then hope for a resting in the team or a couple more cash rises off the bench before selling for hopefully a 130K+ cash grab (40 avg over the next 3).

I have 20 trades and thought why not take a gamble? Hope for a 40avg over the next 3 against Broncos tonight, Fifita, Tino and Mofo-less Titans team and then hopefully a decent role off the bench against NZ

Thought?

Trades (Walker + Pappy > TPJ + Lewis + 500K for a Simpkin trade next week and to grab the likes of Fifita and Pappy after Origin.

EDIT: Gives me 13 (not including Simpkin) for R13 and 14 if I trade Simpkin next week... probably bank the other 3 as I have no other trade outs

Sounds good for Starling I guess?

Yeah I'm playing the same game, at least I hope.

Verrills is going to come in pretty handy when he returns. Basically a cash out that will be starting hooker for the rest of the year and a decent 18th/19th man.

Yep. Sounds like he has been advised Starling is the future for the club and will be getting the opportunity to start.

A good rule of thumb this year seems to be that generally where there is smoke there is fire. I am making trades early based on these kinds of reports. Expecting Ramsey to be a similar situation

My players are all in correct jerseys in the apple app. What platform are you using to play?

leaning towards bringing him (Hynes) in.  Admittedly that's with a few more trades than most around here.  Unlike Walsh (who might be a season long keeper - even if not gun), Hynes is likely to be a trade out when he reverts to a bench role.

Reassuring that when Papy came back the other week, it was Ryley Jacks that made way with Hynes moving to 6.  Interested to know the goalkicking pecking order at the Storm.  Does Hynes keep it while Papy/Munster (and Smoothy!) remain out?  Or is Hughes/Jacks/someone else in the team/fringes likely to take over?
