NRL Fantasy 2021 Part 62 - Friday Afternoon Procrastination

James Roberts will probably be in my team for the rest of the year, but hopefully that is the last time he is in my scoring 17

"Cleary's a wanker" chant ringing out

Apologies if I talked anyone out of betting on the Tigers with my pessimism earlier

I'm not going to argue - I think you've nailed it

Pretty sure I called Leniu to score 28. He will probably sit on my bench all year now I'd say.

Not sure what I think about the Burton trade in.

May made 44 tackles in the halves

Not the worst result. Feeling a bit flat though. Crimson Tide may be required.

Only had Momo and Laurie in that so dropped a few ranks to Lucy and Burton owners

Very underwhelming game all around. Tries saved Burton's and Lucy's scores. Panthers had all their stars out but still very flat

-18 in negatives and he didnt touch the ball the last 10 mins killed his score

I think he moved into middle once Salmon came on

Stefano with a 50 and his most minutes of the season is a very nice surprise. Lucy doing what it says on the tin, Roberts, at least it wasn't a single digit score, and everyone has Laurie. I'll take all that.

Wonder if less chance of the Panthers Origin players being rested now

Wouldn’t mind going straight back to the warm embrace of Cleary captain again

Not me, even had one on them giving Panthers an 8.5 point start.

Of course I'll now waste the earnings from my pauper bets by putting the winnings on the Tigers to make the 8.
It's got to happen eventually... surely....

I bet on the Tigers. Hard not to with those odds vs half a second grade side.

Still, with Daine Laurie having outlived his usefulness and getting traded to Lolo/Fifita next week it'll be a delight not to have any Tigers players in my squad for the rest of the season. Laurie has been fine, but between him, Roberts, Cini, Liddle and Simpkin a pox on that club.

Yeah frustrating. Got the bulk KMs, all of them pretty much. Was plenty involved, May didn't really take anything from him. Just made a couple of mistakes at pretty inopportune times as well as the Panthers doing same all game. Feel sorry for JFH, played his heart out.

Rd13 halftime report.
Rank at start of the round: 3596
Live rank after 2 games (9 played): 1312
8 players incl captain still to come

They won't be resting 8 at once, so I can't see it making any difference.
Going full strength would be a vanity play when really they just need to get to September in the best possible shape

Hopefully Verrills is good to go next week. Time for Momo and Laurie to bid farewell
