NRL Fantasy 2021 Part 77 - To'o tired to think of a witty title

Not that it matters but his BE must be insane.

Oh how envious I am of having 7 trades! Was going to use Tohu to get Cleary but I may have to re-assess what I use my final 3 trades for.....

First trade this week is pretty simple for me Fogarty>Murray. A little annoying that he played 80 backing up from origin, which boosted his price (that's why he looked tired!) but was required due to injuries to Johnston and Campbell Graham. Second trade is a little tougher. I have Simonsson to Ponga and Burton to Cleary in the works over the next few weeks. If I pull the trigger on Simonsson to Ponga this week it allows Burton to Cleary with 60k buffer, if I wait a week it will mean buffer closer to 120k. Feel like the extra 60k could be very handy in the run home but think Ponga outscores Laurie this week if he plays

The extra 60k could mean upgrading Walker to someone like Cook, Taumalolo as 17th man for the run home

Ponga should drop some cash too you'd think. At least one more week of Hynes please to maximise that trade.

Sounds like Hughes might miss a week (literally no reason for Storm to risk him), so even if Papy is back, Hynes will be in the side.

Already have Haas? Or just reckon Murray is the better buy? Will be tossing up between those two for Tohu.

110

I wonder what the highest BE ever has been. That would have to be close.

Ponga dropping cash will aid the budget to get Cleary back in.
I'm happy to sit on trades this week, unless Bird gets sideline, then I'll pick up a cheap CTR for cover

Preliminary squad for round 19:

McCullough
Papali'i (c), Crichton, AFB
CHN, Matterson
Cleary, Gamble
Bird, Burton
Walsh, Teddy, Savage

Haas, Fifita, Turbo, Doueihi

Reynolds, Johnson, Peachey, Verrills

Looping Reynolds/Johnson, playing Peachey if Bird cops his suspension this week.

3 trades and $150k in the bank. Will keep an eye on Ponga or Papenhuyzen to come in for Gamble/Johnson in a week or two.

Already have Haas and would back him over Murray

same here, brought him in and hasn't contributed at all. Hopefully he's in this week?

he can stay a red dot now, its unlikely i'll need him. sharks play last, so he's better value as a loop enabler.

When is the final DPP update? Hetherington should get MID you'd think, right?

Who would you flick between Thompson, ARey or Brailey?

Who has the lowest floor? Who has the highest ceiling?

I'd say A-Rey is the answer to both those questions. So I'd consider whether you think Brailey's weekly 40's are okay to keep going forward.

6 trades left, 525k in the bank.

My only real problem is I'm just sitting around waiting for Cleary's return but in the meantime I could be missing out on some good scores from players like Mahoney.

Averillo is a concern but too late in the season to fuck about with CTR's.

Harris to Turbo

Brailey probably safe for 40-45 every week, and praying he hits early season form at some point so he probably stays

Thompson as well is safe for 40-50 but is just very boring, probably the safe keep

ARey probably the odd man out here. He can hit a 60 but can hit a 30 - his stats are concerning with no bulk KMs and all the assists go through Walker and Latrell. Something for me to ponder this week.

Are we keeping SJ?

I've got Fogarty who has to go, so SJ will stick around for now..
