NRL Fantasy 2021 Part 63 - The Gift of Hynesight

It feels like last year though. There is a reason I stopped watching versus Storm after that.

We lost 13-12 a couple of years ago. We should've won but also we never should've been in the game with how depleted our team was.
My parents were in town and I surprised them by taking them to the game. They loved it. I was devo at 80min haha.

Tentative Alvaro & Gamble -> CHN & SJ.

Feels like solid trades on paper but destroys the bank I had saved to bring in Fifita/Tohu. Looks like Fifita after origin and will try bring in Tohu another way. Plenty of time to change my mind.

Rapana? Or is it Hammer time?

Physios must not know what they’re doing

4 to 6 weeks I reckon. I'm sure NRL physio will post an update in the next 24hrs.

I have stopped watching Warriors & Canes (this year). Not good for my blood pressure.

Tapine going to impact CHN?

What are you expecting from Hammer mate

No, Tapine is a middle not an edge & CHN is probably their best performing player atm

I like those trades. Banks are made for spending to get points. Never a bad time to get Tohu though, but no hurry either. One could argue it's worth waiting until you are absolutely sure he plays rd17, ie wait until rd 17 to make sure he's not suspended or injured. Fifita definitely doesn't play rd 17 but more likely to get a banner. Both good options, but I like your proposed trades.

Think I’m going with Leniu and Stefano to Jones and CHN leaving this team

12 trades 49k

Brailey
Haas Harris Watson
TPJ Matterson
Fogarty Moses
Olam Crichton
Teddy Laurie Hynes

Angus
CHN
Burton
Walsh

Jones
Flegler
Roberts
Cleary

Any thoughts?

You're probably short another WFB gun. Ponga and Papenhuyzen are out, Latrell and Turbo also options. Of course as long as Hynes starts, no rush.

Since everyone getting CHN this week, my team once again looks like everyone elses except for maybe Egan.

nrlphysio: Scans revealed Reed Mahoney did suffer some capsular damage when he subluxed his shoulder. Club has put no estimate on recovery time at this stage, will require strengthening rehab for multiple weeks to minimise risk of further damage on return. Most: 3-6 week recovery

60 mins of Cleary still could be a good as any other option.

Cleary (c), Burton (VC) for me

Hope for your sake they don’t play half a game each.

Thanks for the feedback. I think I'll only change my trades ins to get Tohu/Fifita this week if I decide to trade out Moses or iPap but can't really afford to do that with 5 red dots. I also really can't stand another week of the polar bear.

Staggs doesn't come across as the sharpest tool in the shed

Polar bear first out for sure (I have him). I'd need to have six red dots to keep him and even then I'd consider just going one short.

I think you may be giving him too much credit, there are some boxes of hammers out there at the moment having a laugh at his expense.

I upvoted this, but not working is it?
