NRL Fantasy 2021 Part 76 - Register for the Eliminator

From the NRL Supercoach article late mail;

TITANS: The Titans’ Origin players – AJ Brimson, Tino Fa’asuamaleaui and Mo Fotuaika – were all keen to backup and have survived the first team cut. The players to drop out were Sam Stone, Jayden Campbell and Mitch Rein so that means at least Brimson seems a lock, though nothing places the other two in doubt at this stage. With nobody else in the casualty ward I’m expecting 1-17, although I wouldn’t be surprised if Tino moves to prop and Peachey to lock with Fotuaika shifting to the bench, as that one extra minute he played over Tino in Origin could be the difference maker.

WTF?  Not sure if that's serious or his attempt at being funny.

Do agree but seeing him named again, do you think that was a wake up for him last week and he will get another chance this week? Obviously on the fence for trading him out..

Im having trouble deciding who to flick for Fifita.. matto or lucy. The one i keep likely stays all year. I keep coming around to the idea that Matto will revert to closer to 80 and Lucy mighr end up being dropped or benched..

my current team is:

Mahoney
Crichton Harris Papali'i
Fifita CHN
DCE Johnson
Burton Bird
Walsh Tedesco Hynes

Croker Fogarty Schuster Brailey
Trbojevic Simonsson Verrills Peachey

7 trades + 52k

currently thinking simmonson + Brailey to Haas + Hetherington +102k

I'd go with Lucy and not particularly close IMO. Had a similar choice a few weeks back and gave Lucy the flick

That's the standard isn't it, drop a player for a week to spook, then straight back in

If I had both, I'd go Lucy mate I think. I'm still deciding Matto or one two of Laurie, Bird, Peach. One of the hardest calls of the year for me truthfully. CHN too I guess is an option.

Not the best turn of phrase in regards Sharks players

Strong team, what's your rank?

Id prefer to sell CHN then Brailey. You dont have a premium cover. Just just play schuster.

When is Xerri back?

My current rank is 5255. What if I sell both CHN and Brailey for extra cash?

Depends on what you spend it on. Kobe offers nothing though really.

Same choice. Lucy's gone for me.

Any advice then on my trades? want to trade Brailey but don't see much point in getting Murray or Taumalolo when Haas is a little bit more but can't figure out how else to raise the money to get Haas

Apparently he is actually training with Roger Fabri (famous sprint coach - Saab, Addo-Carr, SBW, David Warner, Moylan, Hayne, Cook) at the moment and may even be trying his hand at NFL.

I don't mind the Simo to Hethro trade to get some coin. Actually I don't mind both trades as you have good hooker depth. I'd probably trade Croker over Brailey though, but that might narrow sighted given Croker has exceeded expectations.
