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

How does Rapana go at FB? Looks like he will likely keep that spot for awhile till SImo's back?

With only 3 trades left I am at a real crossroads where I need to decide once and for all if I am going to get Cleary back in.

If I am then I will be having a real shite 18-21 (something like Kelly, Verrills, Hetherington, Roberts).

If I'm not then that can be strengthened along with an upgrade to my playing 17 (eg bring DCE in and SST/Brailey becomes 18th man)

The non-Cleary option certainly seems better on paper but even if Cleary averages 80 captained to 160 down the stretch, that will probably make more of a difference.

Seems like most people on here have plans to bring Cleary back, are there many that have just accepted that they won't be able to?

It's the biggest dilemma

So why not stick with him hahah ? Paulo isn’t good

He filled in earlier in the year there and was absolutely gassed - like doubled over on the halfway line.

I assume that won’t happen again but I actually think he might score worse at FB than WG anyway.

trade and hold fog or trade both

Please explain how to with 1 trade

Well damn. Sitting with Cleary, fog, RTS & Moses in my EMG's is going to crucify me again this round.. Really feeling the pain from holding cleary atm.. ranks slid from 600 to 1.1k and now likely further.

I hope for us keepers that when he returns, he rewards us otherwise it'll be the point that split the field.

That MID DPP is fairly handy. Thinking Moses -> Hetherington should leave enough cash for Lucy (or Fog if he's not back) to Cleary.

I am thinking along the same lines Kobe for a cashout , this Moses news doesnt sound too good.

Getting on Lolo this week before he gets away

Hynes goes also if Bellyache gets up to any shenanigans

Same position as I'm in. I think I'm going to skip Cleary, one trade this week, then decide if I double trade to get Cleary or just death ride the rest of the season. There are a lots of teams with few trades left and have sold Cleary as Ynots' awesome data scrape charts tell us.

Seeing the stats next week for trades left and those with/without Cleary will be interesting. Particularly with Moses, tohu, fog going down last week.

He’ll have to come off for a rest after 20 minutes

Those guys just make the road back to Cleary a bit easier which is a shame

Any <$300k cash outs with decent JS?
Edit: just scrolled up and looks like Kobe is the only one at the moment.

Tempted to put it on Haas, but I just know the minute I take it off DiFi is the week he busts out 15 tackle busts, 3 tries, and for some reason takes over playmaking duties with 300KM.  

Thinking of being bold and going Tommy T. Probably going to chicken out and stick with Fifita though.

Very tempting to turn Gamble into Taumalolo.

Would leave me with 2 trades and close to $0 cash.

I think it's just outside my risk threshold.

3 trades 103k

Brailey
Haas Crichton AFB
CHN Fifita
DCE SJ
Olam Burton
Teddy Turbo Walsh

Matterson
ARey
Hynes
Fogarty
Moses
Verrills
Crichton
Savage

Any ideas?

Keep in mind Hynes is likely to be a trade out, so you have 2 trades. You have 18 green dots this week so maybe be careful.

Savage is also a permanent red dot for you

Thinking the same too, but haunted by a couple of years ago when I needed him to win a H2H Eliminator and he did his hammy a few minutes in and ended my season. But it is so tempting against Tigers this week...

Kobe seems to have that 13 locked down now right?

Gunna captain Fifita. He doesn't underwhelm often, and clearly has the potential to banner up. I don't wanna miss it.

Turbo obviously does too, but I think his floor is lower.
