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

That sounds good re B. Jones re his certainty of starting & Frizell out for 6 weeks. He's 233k & seems one of the better cheapies with potential 6 week job security

It’s not worth trading any of those 9 guys out is it? I have 15 trades left.


I have considered Simo out to A. Kelly but then I lose a round 17 number and some WFB cover if Teddy and Tommy T are rested round 14. Do we think Kelly holds his spot or in 2-3 weeks when Staggs is back could he drop out?

Off to work very soon bump thoughts on Simo to A. Kelly to give me a 13th round 13 player or save the trade? Not sure re Broncos make up when Staggs is back where is he likely to play?...

Also would a Haas to Papali’i trade be silly?

Just do it then mate. Staggs won't be playing 6 this year.

Does Sue or Watson start at lock though pushing Barnett to edge?

Also depends when Klemmer is back.

Jones looks solid, but I might wait to trade Alvaro down to him next week. No other real options to trade him in for that aren't playing.

Starling + Simpkin to Macca + Jones & hold Pap looks pretty good.

What do Newcastle do with their halves though?

Crossland & Watson named to start there, Mann 14 and Clifford 18. Do Mann and Watson swap & Crossland and Clifford swap you'd think?

See I thought Staggs was coming back at 6 I thought that’s what Brisbane planned and he’s gonna play at 6 next year I thought. If Teddy or Tommy T don’t back up that’s my concern re trading Simo.

Is Haas to Papali’i to sideways?

mate, no one knows for sure.

i'm considering trading out haas.. i will probably pour a drink or two tomorrow pre game and then decide.

Simonsson to Jones on the cards for me

From Toohey:

"@BarryToohey keen to see more of Brodie Jones in his preferred position this week! Any idea if he’s likely to keep that edge spot when Clifford is shuffled into the 17?

He’ll start there Sam"

Brodie Jones fan club where you @

Am i the only dumbass who can't find A. Kelly on Milchy's list? Probably get Jones now anyway.

Could have more but bringing in "guns" like Matto or Mahoney or even Nathan Brown would compromised ability to get Fifita, Papenhuyzen and Taumalolo quickly after byes. All-being-well plan of having 11 in round 17 too, so it'll even out.

I'm with ya mate. We might lose some ranks this week but having 11+ players in round 17 will be MASSIVE.

Right now I'm targetting the same 3, with cheaper guys like AFB, SST, JPap, SJ getting a look in if the price is right.

Tempting to go with Jones over May and chuck 150k in the bank

Is Haas to Papali’i to sideways?

As MTB said, no one really knows, but I doubt he gets thrown in at 6 back from injury having played centre for sure a long time. He'll go into his usual position and get his fitness back I think. Can see Kelly featuring most the year personally.

Depends if you want Haas back later on if you trade him and how you think he'll score moving forward, again no one really knows. You'll want to maximise points this week if you can.

Brodie Jones for a Hattrick!!

I reckon he'll come back at centre for a bit after a long layoff before shifting. Also was thinking when he does move to 6 Kelly might be the 7 as he is the dominant kicker rather than Gamble. But then again Croft could return. Its all speculation and no one knows but I think you'd get at least 3-4 rounds out of Kelly.

I was considering him but might go Jones now

Yes Haas to ipap seems sideways to me (potentially even backwards)

Haas is dead to me. Gone.

This could be the Knights pack though come round 15 when Klemmer is back Jones might only be good for 2 weeks.... eg:

Klemmer
Brailey
D. Saifiti
Barnett 
Fitzgibbon
Sue

Watson
J. Saifiti
Jones
........

AOB I think has shown his hand and prefers Barnett at lock.
