NRL Fantasy 2021 Part 66 - The quest for correct stats

Just saw the photo of the gash on Egan's forehead. Looks nasty, would be surprised if he's back any time soon.

Wonder who gets the spot. If Otukolo gets it at 228k & R17, would anyone go there?

Jackson is a no from me, especially with the crackdown on grubby plays, he is likely to be binned, sent off, and suspended

Seems we are already forgetting people getting burnt by Jackson trading him in after a 50 and 72 in round 2 only to post 2x40s then sit out for 7 weeks.

Surely we aren't going to fall for it again

Is Taupau the new Lucy?

Passes the eye test, base of 40, high ceiling, plays R17.

so you are trading in all the cash cows then?

No cashing out the likes of Laurie and upgrading Watson. Selling Hynes when he's benched. I won't get all 3 of them but I think they're the ones to have on the run home that I don't own.

Jazz starting with either Sironen slotting in for some time or Otukolo a possibility on the bench I'd guess.

hmmm I'm still waiting on Lucy's banner

Seems I’m not alone in struggling to find any / many genuine trade outs this week. Would normally hold fire but currently have 2 (yes, two) Round 17 players and one is Walsh.

If I don’t trade a couple more in this week I’ll be playing 6-8 for R17 after some sideways trades pre R16 & R17. So Laurie and Watson might be getting off the ship this week.

Serious regret not dumping Mbye to Simo last week to field a full 17 and get another warm body for R17.

Not touching him yet, just keeping an eye on him

Taupau though.. that’s the real one

I hope not from an IRL perspective. Jazz's service is crap & our halves are struggling enough as is.

I have a serious FOMO nrlfantasy depression after not captaining Burton, trading out the Fog, and not owning Avo this round

Wilton BE is 55 so definitely can wait a week. Also talk is Graham out a month.

Supercoach gave their bonus trade(5 trades) round a week early. Remember this when your casual friends slander NRL Fantasy

Fantasy is the one giving it a week early.

The bonus trades should be next round - 2 weeks to make trades for the round after origin

This week is a normal round for all intents and purposes.

For the Roosters:
- James Tedesco (hip pointer) will need to pass further testing this week
- Sitili Tupouniua & Sam Walker both cleared of serious injuries, available for Rd15
- Sam Verrills (eye) & Billy Smith (shoulder) also available for selection after extended recoveries

Round 9


Round 14


"You could not live with your own failure. Where did that bring you? Back to us"

That’s great news on Verrills. He has been sitting in my EMG since he got re-injured, will be nice to start generating some cash from him. I had forgotten about Smith - probably hurts Suaalii’s JS a bit.

Why does cash matter? Do you plan on reading him out at some stage?
