NRL Fantasy 2021 Part 62 - Friday Afternoon Procrastination

611/12 for a ranks gain of 335 places.

At least it's a gain.

Dropped 3,300 in rank, banked 3 trades

They got more news during the game which ruled out pec and said shoulder.

NRL physio just tweeted that Eels suspect dislocated shoulder so shouldn't be out long.

nrlphysio: As hoped Eels confirm Reed Mahoney suffered a suspected shoulder subluxation, early expectation he will miss “a couple of games”. Still to have scans, most able to return within 2-4 wks with rehab. Even if scans reveal structural damage surgery can often be delayed til offseason

554/11 lost around 200 ranks now into the 1400s. Next round interesting for a feeling alot of teams won't be playing 17

735 from my 15 this week. Half way point of the season with half my trades left(17) to go hard at the second half. Some putrid scores from Fogarty and Moses could have been a real leg up.

Captained my second highest scorer in Hunt so did well there.

Trades looking like Reimis>WFB (Ponga, Latrell, Hopa, Cotric the short list) and Leniu>Tauk. If it sounds like Teddy will get a rest I'll need another WFB

EDIT: Rank from ~10,100 odd to ~5300

643 from 14 players and up from 3989 to 2614. Expected more but when you have Alvaro, BKelly, IPap, Moses, Fog and Leniu, I guess a rank rise of 1300 odd is a positive.

Stepping away from my usual "MS Is shit and I always beat him" trope - you are well placed to make a good rise up the rankings from here. Hope you smash it.

614 for me from 13 players pre updates. Rank pre updates up from 3957 to 2953. Captain Hynes 49 ok but not great.


Brailey 40 worrying, Moses 31 worrying, S. Crichton 24 worrying, Macca 43 worrying, Alvaro 14 useless.

Roberts 29 I was happy with that. What went well was me bringing in A. Kelly.

@wolfking see mate all didn’t turn out dire for you, you scored 644 and rank is 2600 so you’re still 300 ranks ahead of me.

What did people think of Jones? I thought he looked pretty good, but you have to think there will be changes with that scoreline and he's a pretty easy candidate.

I had a shoulder subluxation once. Was really painful the day it happened, but healed relatively quickly. Hope that's the case for Mahoney

nrlphysio: Kalyn Ponga is progressing well with his adductor injury rehab, but the Knights still don’t expect him back in Round 14 at this stage. They feel the trip up to QLD Origin camp did set him back a bit, to the point where there’s even some doubt over his availability for Game 2

791 from 16 players has moved me up to 306th.

Jury out on whether it was worth pushing trades to get to 16.

How many have you got left?

Parra and Penrith have had the least number of injuries so far this season.

556 for me with 13 playing. Really disappointed with that round as I've been planning it for a long time. Really low scores from my PODs as well have hurt the most. 

Oh well just gotta keep plugging away and hope for some good luck. 

Congrats all who did really well!

8/517

Pretty happy with this. Never really started playing with R13 in mind until a few weeks ago. Lost ranks as I expected, but the fall wasn’t quite as drastic as I assumed. Didn’t have many players, but those who played did well: chose well with Hughes as captain, and Crichton was my only player who scored below 40.

I've got 15 left, so not too bad.
It's tight enough that a little bad luck and it might get a bit hairy

I thought he was very solid, but looked a bit gassed towards the end.
Not sure of the intended rotation because he played out the game at centre, and definitely played more than 30 minutes.
I think every man and his dog got put on report in the game so every chance he’s back next week.

Forget my score for the round, I saved 3 trades this week

Having the extra week of Origin 2 in the next 4 weeks means he will probably only miss 2 games
