NRL Fantasy 2021 Part 61 - Bye round debuts, and scalping tickets

I'm seriously considering Kikau. This is either gonna be a genius move or the end of me

Back on the Turps ay

Is Turpin 80 minutes secured or is everyone assuming Kevvie doesn’t do something cooked? Isn’t the Hetherington guy a Hooker?

No mention of JDB in Lone Scout's Fantasy Q&A even though there was a bit of a backlash on twitter about the $725k price-tag.
It looks like they want to keep JDB out of the conversation by purposefully making him fantasy irrelevant for a while.

Has been coming on in the middle the first two weeks.

According to TU/TD thread:

Mahoney > Macca > Hunt > Ipap.

I reckon that's how I'd rank them this week as well

Can't see the Dragons favouritism tonight, Broncos to salute

Should I leave a couple in emergency positions just to avoid an over inflated sense of achievement prior to the last game? (Defence against the Dark Arts or at least the wankery arts)

I was on this little conspiracy theory earlier. No real reason to price him that high.
Wonder if there'll be an audible booing when he jogs on tonight.

Dunno, hard to gauge the general reaction to him but if would be nice if there was

Lol thinking ahead...

Is there any risk Mahoney gets called back into Origin if Brimson isn't training?

Think I'm pretty set on Starling + Simpkin to Mahoney + Jones, but that's my only concern.

According to Fox, Mahoney staying with QLD til tomorrow at least. I know it's Wacko, but this also has me a little concerned bringing Mahoney in...

"The Eels are sweating on a decision on Origin squad member Reed Mahoney. The form hooker was named for Parramatta on Tuesday under the assumption he would be released by Queensland, who named him 19th man. But the injury to Maroons fullback Kalyn Ponga has thrown Mahoney’s Parramatta availability into doubt. Joey Lussick trained at hooker during the week with Mahoney in Origin camp."

I thought he WAS released on Tuesday arvo? Weird one indeed.

Not worth the risk with Eels playing last. Welcome to the team Hunt

Thought so too, but according to Dan Walsh on Twitter:

"To clarify: @QLDmaroons
have not released Reed Mahoney from camp at this stage.

@TheParraEels, or any club for that matter, are allowed to name 19th, 20th man squad members for NRL games. Only 18th man can't play in round 13 @NRLcom"

With the question marks over Brimson think I'm back to Macca. Would rather know he's playing than risk Mahoney being a late out.
