NRL Fantasy 2021 Part 73 - Kid & Play House Party

Gamble 2 year extension with Broncos

Might just keep him if he keeps banging out 50s and holds a half spot down for the year...

I wouldn’t mind holding him in truth but just don’t see how it benefits me

i'm holding him because after bringing Taumalolo in I am down to 5 trades.

I could do Brailey to AFB. It would be a points upgrade but would leave me with 4 trades, and could well lose any points I make in the last 4 rounds when I end up playing short, or having to play James Roberts in my 17. I am just betting odds are good I'll find a better use for a trade than trading someone out who looks like playing every week and can average 50

If Titans keep up the form (typical of them to finish the season strongly) then I'm happy to keep Fogarty, he seems to rack up the points when Titans are going well.

I'm likely to hold. Love his ceiling and if he hits it a couple of times is gold given low ownership in top 100. I'll probably have to opportunity to loop at times on the run home.

My team is probably too mediocre to have the luxury to upgrade Fog, and yeah, I think he'll pump out a few more big scores. I have Matterson, Leilua, Brailey, Watson who are all borderline trades, actually deciding who becomes Fifita will be tough. I still have BS9 as well, but as long as he keeps scoring tries he can stay.

Fog stays for me. Safe 35 low floor and we've seen his highs.

I'm leaning towards Matto out for Fifita.

Couple of close decisions in community team voting

come have your say in some key decisions for our final team

Likely the same move. Almost certain to start playing 80 regularly once the trigger has been pulled.

This Brailey talk has me reconsidering.

I'll be punting two of the following 5 for Lolo this week and Murray next, the other 3 stay for the year.

Brailey, Watson, Lucy, Schuster, Matto.

Currently thinking Brailey out this week and Lucy next (or Schuster if he's not back starting). Would anyone disagree?

Is there anything to that rumour that Suaalii keeps getting named in the 21 jersey because he needs a special jersey without a gambling sponsor on it?

May have the specifics wrong, but pretty sure I read that on here throughout the week.

Just went through all the team lists since his debut, and every time he has played he's worn 21. Gotta be more than a coincidence surely?

I'd keep Brailey over Matto.

Rabbit mentioned that. Seems to have some merit.

When you brought up about him getting subbed when the game was tied really had me thinking.

Its definitely true he wears a jersey without the Unibet sponsorship because he is under 18.

I feel like the Roosters might have the budget to have a few sponsorless jerseys and iron*, say a 3, on one though.

*showing my age, are numbers printed on nowadays?

I'm planning on being out of trades by then to avoid this decision

Brailey survives this week and becomes Fifita next week

Hmmm...I can do these trades;

Harris - Tolo
Simo - AFB
Jones - Manu

And still have just enough to turn Matto into Fifita next week in a single trade.

I had scans of my right knee today. will provide an update on my return to the field, it looks like a season-ender though (for those that have me in fantasy fantasy)

I don't know, but I also wonder if the Media are able to request interviews with named (in the 13/17) players during the week, and maybe being named in 21 prevents that access (as part of reducing pressure etc for the 17 year old).

I don't think the media can make those decisions. Club have to put up X number of players for media each week, but its the club's choice as to who it is.
