NRL Fantasy 2021 Part 75 - Voting has finished

Shady2K wrote:1 trade Peachey to Haas

2nd trade probably hold. Can do Gamble to Murray/Mahoney/Cook but think Gamble can hit a 50 and not worth the marginal upgrade just yet. Gamble can also make a bit more cash for next week when everyone's fresh. Murray and Cook off Origin against an easy opponent could get an early shower and Mahoney back from an injury

Anything wrong with that logic?

Tossing up similar type of question.

I want to bring in Haas, was going to do it for Harris/JFH/fog

Other options are chn, afb. Issue with these is it uses up more coin.

For what it’s worth, if I was you I’d go brailey, Turpin, arey, fog, SJ

I’m that order.

Turpin/Brailey/Moses/ARey/SJ/Fog

Sounds logical to me. First trade full of sex appeal, assuming Haas good to go after Origin, and I'd definitely be holding second trade for reasons you state. Like you say, Gamble likely to score well and all three of those guys can easily be sat on for more clarity next week.

Depends on the balance of your team but you wouldn't want to be stuck with Turpin and no trades if Paix actually starts taking minutes off him

Snatchpato wrote:Some notes I made from a Podcast "The Weekly Rub Down" (a supercoach POD) which had Brien the NRL Physio on:

- Brien is more concerned some injuries than others. Injuries like rib damage (D. Saifiti), shoudler damage (Cleary, Tohu, Mahoney), and foot injuries (RFM) are more likely to be reinjured purely due to the nature of NRL and the fact they'll get bashed around during the game.

- Brien mentioned that Turbo (and most recovering from hamstring injuries) need to do a "quota" of sprints per week to ensure recovery goes well. He indicated that he'd expect Turbo (might) back up during an origin week, or to generally not be rested before finals due to actual game time being a great way to get in this "quota" of sprint minutes under his belt. He mentioned that data shows that people who don't get in their quota of sprints have a higher chance of reinjury.

- Brien expects Best to return more like round 20-21 than 23-24 (probably more relevent for those playing draft).

- Re above, typically players returning from syndesmosis injuries typically have no performance decrease upon return (cited To'o, Tupou, Hopoate, and Arrow all returning from these injuries and on aggregate having just as good if not better peformance upon return).

- Brien isn't worried about Luai's injury at all saying that most of those MCL injuries are from bad luck in a tackle, and the risk of re-injury is the same risk for a normal player, indicating that Luai will be 100% upon return.

- Finally they talked about Papy, and the fact that Brien is quietly concerned about bringing him in. He suggested that if Papy cops another head knock during a game (which is of course possible for any player, any time) the Storm might just say fuck it and call his season. Worth considering for those looking for a Hynes replacement, maybe worth considering other options.

All in all a great POD, very much worth a listen. @Ponga Yeo the Mann if you have any insights into my summary or the POD itself it'd be awesome to hear your thoughts as well.

TU Trade that scrub
TD He'll come right m8

Thanks mate

only issue with moving Brailey/Turps is they are the back up for each other. If turps was nailed on 80 all rest of season I'd be happy enough and Brailey will find some form soon

I'm thinking one of the halves although one will go for Cleary later

I'd let JFH go in your scenario mate

I think this is really situational. Number of trades left, is it to another CTR, is it to a gun, etc.

Nothing too major. You’d be surprised by how many players play through low grade AC jt injuries and even the odd rib fracture with cortisone injections.typically depends on the importance of the game though.

For turbo: they track running data and even amount and lengths of sprints really well these days at training and games. They’ve found the best exercise for hammy tear prevention is called a Nordic but the real gold standard is a high repetitive sprint volume. I still think he’s a prime candidate for a rest this week but they may give him 60ish

MCLs are easy ones to strap the crap out of which helps

Tight rope surgeries have a pretty no frills recovery and less impairment than your normal lateral ankle sprains. First 10m and jump height typically reduced for a few months but lateral movement isn’t really effected. I’ve worked with bradman and he’s a beast but has been plagued by injuries even through juniors

Concussions are far harder to get a read on. From my experience even the specialists are relying on symptoms to resolve naturally rather than any major intervention. A lot of money to be told to rest.

Had one lucky story where an SG ball player who is crazy tough got concussed and I brought him off the do his HIA. Had what he described as minor neck pain. Thankfully 1. he failed his HIA and therefore couldn’t go back on. And 2. his symptoms were bad enough for me to send him to a Sydney hospital instead of coming home on the team bus because he had a neck fracture that a decent knock to could have displaced and potentially paralyzed him. When I say his X-ray I nearly shat myself

What're your thoughts on hill sprints?
