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

Currently 635/12 with Haas (c), Harris, Burton, Walsh & S. Crichton to play so hopefully I can score between 950-1000 pts.

Apparently in the rush to get packed and into the hub the home kit was forgotten. Not sure if I believe but that's the excuse I heard.

Id probably believe this if I hadn’t seen the Knights v Tigers both in orange and Titans v Rabbitohs both in blue already this season

I think he wants three bigger mids for the start and then Watson against the fatigue. I think it’s good strategy (it’s a 17 not 13 man game) but yeah it looks like shit when your team starts so bad

If say it's probably because he wants him on when the opposition middle are under fatigue (doesn't work so well against a team like the Storm) and also allows the bigger guys to absorb more of the early heavy contact before the smaller guy comes on.

If he brought him on 5 minutes earlier it wouldn't make much difference (just less fatigue), and any earlier than that he may as well start with him.
A starting Watson is probably less effective than one coming on after 20. It's just a pity he doesn't usually play out the game.

I think Watson only came on earlier yesterday for Klems HIA too. They need him on the park, very dangerous.

So knights are repeat offenders. The Rabbitohs sky blue jersey was terrible - not sure who even thought that was a good idea.

Unfortunately Watson can't shake the utility tag because he can play multiple positions well so off the bench as a utility is probably what's best for the team.

Had something to do with ANZAC,s and representing the RAAF from memory but it was a shocker hope we dont see that ever again.

Don't understand how there's still criticism of Lolo's minutes floating around in the media. He's been playing 60 the past few weeks, which is maybe 3 minutes down on what he's averaged in the past.

Not his fault the Cowboys are shit this year compared to what he used to play with. He's never been an 80-minute player but I'm reading plenty of calls for that for some reason.

Will Chambers hoping to cross into Qld on Thurs and rejoin the Sharks the following Weds. So might be ok for R20

The only way he plays 80 is a shift to the edge, and then people will say he’s not involved enough (like Fifita). I think minutes and role are fine, it’s seems there was something in his hand injuries bothering him, as he’s looked more effective the last few weeks,

Their fingers would be a good start

Is CHN like a must-bring in or am I just being over reactionary from last night's score? Was so painful to watch as a non owner break all those tackles and offload with ease like that... could go SJ -> CHN in one trade

Very poddy run for me today. Haas at 41%, Burton at 44% and Walsh at 95% are the highest owner players I have. All others <15% owned in the top 5000.
Big games from Reynolds, Gamble, Douehi and AFB could see me fly up the rankings. Fingers crossed!

Then what happens if CHN scores 40 and someone else scores a 90 the week after, will you get that guy in? You don’t get CHNs score if you trade him in next week

I would say over reactionary

This spot on, he was a trade out candidate for many before this week's score

Crazy talk, did you watch him last night? Was fantasy gold, went looking for runs, loves offloads, loves slaps. His down fall is he sticks his arm out at tackles he can’t make, racks up a few MTs.

Must have, probably not. But if you have him can’t see why you’d sell him unless to an absolute gun.

I might bring in Reece Robson next week because he’s gonna average 98 for the next 5 weeks

Made some tackles, ran a bit, even kicked the ball a little
