NRL Fantasy 2021 Part 66 - The quest for correct stats

Someone mentioned the 32 tackles across the weekend didn't they, as it stood out albeit 1 game

There's always a risk and with no solid info, this feels more on the risky side. In saying that if he held his spot could even be a cash cow (if one had enough trades after origin).

Team this week so far;

Brailey
Watson IPap Haas
CHN Matto
Moses Cleary
Bird Burton
Ted Walsh Hynes

Peach Crichton Fog Simo

Jones Laurie Leniu Schuster

2K. No idea but feeling to hold trades. Although since I don't need to play Laurie could cash him out anyway.

I disagree, Laurie is an immediate sell, he's up against the Storm and then the Bunnies the week after, he will leak a lot of cash. I would sell him to Timoko honestly, that kid looks like something special, and Croker's knee is fucked enough that I doubt he will play again.

The draw is not as relevant as you think.

Laurie scored 51 against the bunnies earlier in the year and scored 49 against the Panthers.

Current trades are Watson, Uto & Laurie to Harris, SJ & Verrills which leaves me on 12 trades.

Don't have Fifita atm, planning to get him back in next round.

Considering a fourth trade on Sitili to Walsh, should I pull the trigger? FOMO risk on Walsh. But love Sitili. Advice would be great!

People get caught up in this all the time. It leads to things like captaining Teddy vs the Broncos only for him to score 30

Historically opponent has a very minimal impact on scores

They are all human at the end of the day!

All true. I should know this by now.

21 green dots this week. Still, I'm thinking what I thought when I woke up this morning:

Watson -> Harris
Laurie -> SJ

Koro
Haas TPJ Crichton
CHN Matterson
Cleary SJ
Bird Peachey
Teddy Hynes Walsh

Harris Brailey Fitzgibbon Moses

Fogarty Jones Simmo Burton 216k 10 trades.

Brings me to 5 for rd17 and the potential to bring in six more if I choose. There's no way I'm bringing more than that with 10 trades left, so I don't feel compelled to go any harder than that for the time being. Would rather wait and see which one of these guys puts up their hands for trading out over the next couple of weeks. It wouldn't fuss me if Teddy was out, wouldn't mind a way to loop positions 16,17,18,19 somehow.

Verrils can wait for next week I think. If I needed the cash I'd go this week though. He's a grand final winner, was clearly ahead in the pecking order prior to injuries. Robbo spoke on multiple occasions in preseason about Keighran being his bench specialist.

I've got the funds for something like Fitzgibbon to Cook. Would be a POD at the top. I'd love to try and jag a couple of ceiling games in the next two weeks. Don't want to leave myself short though if rd18 is a bit like rd14.

Wait til milchy tells you his thoughts on second rowers

That team is out of this world.

Feels weird having 20 green dots.
I don't like it. It unsettles me.

Going: Watson/Laurie/Mbye > Tohu/Johnson/Verrills

Who makes the 17 out of CHN, Simonsson and Brodie Jones?

Nah, but he'll play the dragons this week

It's why I'm happy to run with CHN this week.

Timoko actually took Curtis Scott’s position as he is under investigation from the NRL integrity unit for allegedly punching some guy in a nightclub and breaking his nose. There is video footage but the guy who got punched hasn’t pressed charges.

He could hold the spot on form and because Ricky will be pissed at Scott but there is no guarantee.

I have 19 green dots this week thanks to Verrills coming back, though I won't have any MID or EDG cover at all this week so I'm running the gauntlet again. At the very least all my forwards play very early so I can reverse a trade and cover them if I need to.

my trades at the moment are:

Laurie to Simo
Momo to Avo
Alvaro to Timoko

Leaves me $300k which I will use next week on selling Watson and Hynes to Tohu and SJ

Current plan for the week:

Brailey
Haas, Harris, TPJ
Matterson, CHN
Cleary, Johnson
Peachey, Bird
Hynes, Walsh, Teddy

Macca, Turbo, Papali'i, Suaalii

Gamble, Burton, Jones, Verrills

Suaalii to have a look at Gamble and poophole Burton if needed.
Leaving Jones out of the 17 means he is 100% guaranteed to cross the line against the Warriors on Saturday.

Not sure if anyone knows who he is, but the number 18 for the Raiders this week Xavier Savage is insanely quick. I'd love to watch him get his chance in the nrl, this kid is legit lightning quick, awesome to watch

So you’d have to be a madman who loves wasting trades on centres with no JS or extensive injury histories to get on him? Colour me interested

Anyone know the actual deal with Schuster? I was under the impression he is fit now... does he just not make the team at the moment? Seriously tempted to turn him into SJ this week.
