NRL Fantasy 2021 Part 63 - The Gift of Hynesight

my tv broke wrote:Sea Eagles bench as named is:
-Walker, Suli, Ben Trbo, Sipley - just the one middle forward.

But then their reserves are:
-De Luis (listed as a prop), Cust, Tuipulotu (outside back), Taufua, Koula (outside back).

Gonna be super light on if Jake Trbo doesn't back up (but he will)

De Luis not named for reserve grade, most likely comes in. No way Tommy T plays either so one of those bench backs will go into the backline.

Taupau minutes watch

Yeah, Turbo was an easy trade out for me prior to last round. He plays just 2 days after both origin 1 (v cowboys) and origin 3 (v dragons), both games that manly should win so I'm struggling to see him backing up for either of those with his injury history and honestly Des would be mad (I know he already is) if he doesn't manage his workload. If that is the case he misses 13, 14, 17 and 18. He wasn't worth the risk holding over the tricker bye period for me.

Best case scenario Pappy plays the next two games before having an enforced break.

Thinking it might be best to move him on and get him back post Origin

He only played 80 because of a couple of injuries/HIAs - from memory Curran and Egan both missed chunks of the game.

Warriors have plenty of second rowers (Tohu, Curran, Katoa, Siro, Jazz, BMM, Murch) so I wouldn't be confident in expecting any of them outside of Tohu to get regular minutes or starts.

Yeah true mate, thanks. Forgot about the injuries that game.

Lussick a strong option for H2H?

I don't think so, Eels only play 3 games in the next 5 weeks.

Thinking Taufua to wing and Garrick FB perhaps?  Yeah, I'm secretly hoping Tommy doesn't back up, but who knows I guess.

Taufua has been playing centre in NSW Cup. Not sure he is seen as a winger anymore

Momo > CHN
Pappy > Tauk

Should help me cover any late outs this week I think

Why Tauks? Minutes still look very inconsistent?

I think sanity will prevail tonight. Sinbin for anything egregious, otherwise chuck everyone on report and let the suits deal with it. They won't throw the rulebook out as much as before, but should always continue to be a little more relaxed.

If there are multiple sinbins, I reckon most would be professional fouls and repeated ruck infringements (looking at you Felise Kaufusi), rather than high contact.

Mainly because the Roosters are busted and he’s a 50 scorer starting at prop and well priced.
Collins, Radley the main outs meaning he should play 45-50 minutes at the very least for the next wee while

Has anyone considered Josh Curran over Tauks? Seems to be playing really well under the new rules and I'm almost certain Tohu plays at 13 and Curran moves to 12 on game day.

Is Tohu on that edge to help out Berry and Kosi?

They will definitely need it

What about his scoring off the bench?

He has been benched for Liu in 3 out of 4 games since Collins has gone down. Suspect that will happen again once Radley is back.

Marzhew may well be the best option under $300k this week. That's painful

I don’t mind mind the sin bins at the moment. I think the refs have dialled it back enough.

The judiciary has decided to go back to suspending virtually nobody after two weeks of suspending everybody.

how many NRL games will Radley actually miss? does he get the same deal as Crichton?

NRL.COM lists Radley as back in round 16.

I think that means both Origin games count for him, which seem a tad ridiculous for an uncapped player.

Just means that NSW said they would have picked him. Can't really argue with that, seemed like he was very likely.
