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

I'm foolish enough to take that bait.
100% the West Tigers should beat the Panthers tonight.
Penrith are missing all of their spine from last week (albeit getting back their first choice fullback).
They've still managed to put together a solid 13, but with an inexperienced bench.

Whereas the Tigers are missing their Origin superstar (Ofahengaue) - so probably not much different to any other given week.
IF the Tigers play like they did last week, then that probably should be enough to beat the disrupted Panthers.

BUT the Tigers have not managed to string two performances together for, what, a couple of years maybe?
Additionally, the Panthers haven't been beaten in a regular season match for over a year and have a reserve grade team that is also unbeaten.

The Tigers have been somewhat improved since round 8, having either won games or at least been in the match.
Their losses have usually come from slow starts and conceding big leads early, before battling their way back in to the game (then ultimately still losing).

I'm tipping a Tigers win and have bet all my TAB account on it (the whole 5 bucks)

Kelly didn't get charged. Only Robati which was a fine

Did Robati honestly get fined for his head clash or was there another incident I missed (possibly due to lack of vision through the flood of tears)?

I played halfback when i was a kid, only played a few seasons though.

I got sent off in u13s for calling the ref a cheat

Fair call. I was a ball playing second rower in the very few games I played. In the Steve Menzies try scoring build scoring 7 tries over 3 games.

Averages 39 from 50 minutes as a starting HOK and doesn’t look like there’s a backup on the bench

Where are you seeing this reported, team lists aren't updated and cant see it anywhere else.

Shoulder hit the jaw at the same time as the headclash.
Wasn't due to player falling either as he was lifting his shoulder so would've hit the head anyway.
