NRL Fantasy 2021 Part 60 - Twas the night before origin team lists, and .....

Fuck it, I think I'll just go To'o to Hynes. Hynes guaranteed this week plus next week with Munster who won't back up. He could banner up again against the Titans after last week. Don't see To'o needing to backup and his BE is 70.

Is Hughes worth a look? pricey AF.

I will probably not make any trades until Thursday... I have a feeling there will be a bit of team news around these parts before a ball is kicked-off this weekend.

Schuster is a hold if he is back next week anyways. Ramsay to the wing is a kick in the guts but oh well..

I am tempted to swallow my pride, take the loss on Starling and trade him in. Not sure where else I can go this week. A Starling trade gives me 14 for this week.

If Lucy gets off I have the following:

Brailey
Stefano Watson iPap
Matto Lucy
Moses Fog
Kelly Roberts
Hynes Laurie

Thinking of going hard with Pap, Starling and Simpkin to TPJ, McCullough, and 379k or less cashout for Simpkin.

Could also potentially hold Pap and just do Starling to Burton and Simpkin to cashout (thinking May).

Gives me somewhere between 13-15 depending on Lucy and whether I make 2 or 3 trades.

Who are people thinking for captain this week?

Two weeks ago Brailey was probably a no-brainer, not so much anymore.

I'm tossing up between iPap's base or Hynes' ceiling.

Moses, Lucy, Fog also options.

Similar situation mate but I think if you've taken the risk with Starling, you have to wait till 14 to see if he's back. You'd kick yourself if he was named

I dont mind that at all!

Is Doueihi to Hynes a poor trade? Hate having a 700k centre

I traded in Tom Starling with the idea he was either going to be an undervalued keeper or at least make some decent cash if he wasn't.

Turns out he did neither. I'm just going to cut my losses and be done with him. Ironically I never owned him last year when he killed it but the two weeks he was in my team this year, he firmed as possibly one of the top 5 most pointless trades I've ever made.

What’s the go with Mahoney? I thought he was playing origin. Will be 100% in my team this week if he plays

Similar thing for me, though I luckily got one good score out of him before he went to shit. Trading him this week unless Alvaro gets dropped out of the Dragons 17 on game day since I have to sell one of those two to get Ben Hunt in this week.

If you're flush with trades I don't think it's terrible to be honest. However Hynes is not a keeper so you'll be using two trades on him. He won't be in the starting side permanently so consider how badly you need his points and cash short-term.

Triple M released a team list and were a little premature on the set positions.

Mahoney is 19th man so he's not required and can be released from camp to play for Parra. It appears Koroisau is 18th man for NSW thus he is unavailable for Penrith.

Bringing in Hynes eh mate, will certainly make for easier viewing the next two weeks for you.

I am considering it as well but jeez I don't know, so late to the party and then if Munster does play next week and I only get one week from him I'd be spewing.
