NRL Fantasy 2021 Part 72 - Turbo-charged guacamole

Ramitinmyhaaas wrote:Bit of a left field question, but I need some edge cover for my team for under 493k. Options include Shane Wright, Haumole, Kikau and maybe Wilton if he can keep that spot.

Kinda leaning towards Wright as he seems to have the 80 min role locked down.

Thoughts guys?

God I’d love for the Sharks to come out and say Wilton will play 720 minutes of football between now and the end of the regular season.

Weekend at Bernie's release date was 32 years ago today.
Weekend at Vaughanie's release date will be announced tonight.

CK asked about 23 man squad next year: will be looked at over the off-season. I'm anticipating some kind of change after the injury wave this year. Larger squads is certainly on the table

Wade Egan - any reason his scoring has picked up the last few weeks?

If I were to stay with a cut-price HOK (either stick with Brailey, or go to someone like Egan or Turpin) rather than Cook, I can probably get Cleary back in without having to trade out Schuster (I'd trade Simo to Savage or some other 228k instead).

Looking at Egan also. I am trying to decide if cook is worth the extra given his scoring this year hasn’t been exactly keeper level and he’s going to miss 17 and probably 18?

Lots of unlikely for a number warriors players, nothing official.

TLT is it by the looks, unless the are all named in the extended bench

Yeah one of those two comes in for Jones this week

Does the Saifiti injury help Jones at all?
I know he’s out this week regardless but maybe he gets a few more minutes while Saifiti is out.
I might be clutching at straws for a reason to keep him.

I should SHUT UP

I thought the same, didn’t read anything about it after the game but during the game it was something to the affect of there had only been 2 HIA’s so the 18th man shouldn’t have been triggered by the Officials.

How long is Saifiti out for?

I have probably 3 players but really would rather hold my trades for Fifita, Turbo and guys like Murray etc. Even a couple of players less this week though will see a significant ranking slide.

They didn’t make a big deal in the media, I only saw it because I scrolled past an article on some Raiders page on Facebook.

I haven't looked at my squad yet, but probably similar position. Also considering grabbing/waiting for Hetherington cash out rather than a cheapie this week. Hetherington good mins at lock on the weekend, reckon that might continue and he's cheap AF

I just sent you a PM mate.

By the way I really like those 3 you mention cant go wrong with any of them. You’re in a good position with the trades you have left.

I’m backing you for a top 1000 finish.

Vaughan has been punted by the Dragons.

Odds he ends up at the bulldogs for next season?

Yes, because he is the fucking man.

also funny that Dragons rumoured to be chasing Pangai.. who was in trouble for the same reasons.

They've wanted to punt Vaughan for several months and this is a damn good excuse to do it.
They could've punished JDB a lot more but they won't because they want him.

Don't see it but you never know.

Yep, he's one I'm looking at too. Robati is decent too for a bit more coin but 255K Hethro looks great.

I may do 1 cashout this week for Simo to Suaali or Savage but may even hold the rest. Could go Tolo or AFB maybe as another decent scorer but not sure I love it. Would rather make sure I can get Fifita and Turbo, maybe even DCE if I can. Going to be hard taking a hit this week but the 4 trades in round 18 and 19 will be gold.
