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

Meh, Alvaro only scored about 20 under his average. Could have been worse. Plenty of players to come. As long as Burton isn't a late out for any random reason.

200/4 and Burton, Leniu and Laurie tonight and another seven playing over Saturday/Sunday.

Gone from 11222 to 9026 in the rankings but expect that will be the bulk of my gain for the weekend.

No naughty-naughty benchwankery here. Too worried I'd mess it up and miss out on points.

I think I’ve gained 1000 ranks haha

As long as it's a decent 10 I think it's well above average of those above you. Are you planning to do anything with Simpkin?

I scored 75 more points than you last night and went up 1500 more ranks from a similar start point. It's really bunched where you are sitting

Yeah, at least he came back and got 14 points. Was looking like a donut at half time. Urgent trade though next week.

Almost exactly the same for me on all counts.. which 7 do you have left haha

I captained Moses against my knights this week. Feel dirty about it but he’s due a try and knights give them away apart from last week

I only dropped a couple of hundred spots with 2 in play last night, which is encouraging for a move upwards with 11 more to play. I think.

There are so many hookers that just pass and tackle. Dont they see how effective having a running game is. They just need to look at Cook, Grant, Smith etc. Would it hurt Turpin, Macca to pick up the ball and have a run

187/3 playing 12 this week
Up 1000 places to 2800

Seeing him on my trade outs next week will feel as good as my morning dump

Macca is too slow to run, Dufty seems to jump in there a bit off the back of a quick play the ball (not that the dragons forwards get many of those being slow themselves)
Last nights game did look like it was being played in slowmo

Keep in mind that a lot of players will do the Milchy thing and stack guys outside their team.

Simpkin to Jones was my one trade this week:

Thursday: McCullough, Bird, Gamble, TPJ - 202 points - 2000 rank rise
Friday: Burton, Leniu, Laurie
Saturday: Hynes(c), Peachey
Sunday: Brailey, Watson, Jones, Papali'i, Matterson

No roll-the-dice-on-a-shitto WFB type players in there. Didn't work out for anyone who went Cobbo last night.

Yea I’m well aware haha

Just happy to get a good start on paper and hopefully can continue on through the weekend

Salt on weetbix is a surprisingly good combo haha possibly.

Having not seen it before he deleted it, I choose to believe that Wolfking's angry post was in response to this.

Happy with my trade ins of Bunt and AKelly. 

Currently leading the Bye round comp. I should screen shot that because it won’t finish that way. 

Isaako first to go next week. Hopefully he loses less $ than Kelly makes. 

I think I’ll bring in a round 17 CTR, WFB for cover if Teddy is rested and CHN next week.

Haha I reckon you could be right. 

I too didn’t see it and I will apologise to Wolfie for getting him riled up

That's lucky. I was surprised Wolfie went after a few of the long-time posters like that.

Macca does have an attempted dart occasionally, is a pretty awkward event.
