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

I’d sooner Matt Lodge in my team then Gutho

Would anyone believe I have a dilemma this week? Anyone?

Already holding Cleary so disinclined to hold two halves with sketchy return dates

7 trades left so thinking either

Moses & Brailey Out - Mahoney & Doueihi in (I know Tigers plus last week the Broncos etc etc etc)
or
Just go Moses to Mahoney....Move Hynes to half for a week and hope he doesn't drop out (Have Trbo Ted & Walsh)
or
Do nothing and play one of Hetherington or Verrills

Any strong opinions?

Gutho over the last two years without Moses or when Moses has been scratched during the game.

2020 - Rounds 8,9,10 - Scored 102,51,52
2021 - Rounds 3,13,18 - Scores 66,79,88

An average of 73 with just the one try.

Worth a crack and hope Moses is out towards the longer end

Can anyone tell me what sort of score Cleary would need to get to lose $20k? MTB's price predictor seems a bit off.

Pretty intruiging match unfolding in the one dayer between Windies and Aus. I thought the Windies had all the advice and cricket knowledge to give out in the extremely important 20/20 format ??

You dislike Gutho more than the New York door buster?

Geez when did Gutho piss in your cereal.

7 trades/589K ITB

Mahoney
Taumalolo/Haas/Crichton
Fifita/Ipap
Hynes/SJ
Averillo/Bird
Tturbo/Ponga/Teddy

Walsh/CHN/Watson/Brailey
Verrills/Fogarty/Roberts/Walker

Can do Hynes/Cleary in one trade with that bank, hopefully next week. Maybe another trade for Fogarty to give me a strong 18th man. But I fully expect the plans to go out the window after this weekend.

Damn fine team that.

Can I have both Gutho and Lodge?

Yeah, I thought it seemed a bit off.

Surely Cleary doesn't go huge first week back against the Storm.

Just can’t articulate why the hatred is so strong.

Don't think there's any need to do 2 trades based on your second option. I'm not worried about Hynes this week.

Gutho and Matterson will have a field day against the raiders I reckon.

Do I need to reassess if I pulled a muscle in my lower back celebrating Fifitas 'no try' across the weekend... hilarious domino affect.

Hunt
Haas, Crichton, Watson
Fifita, CHN
Hynes, Schuster
May, Bird
Turbo, Ponga, Walsh

Teddy, Matterson, AFB, Brailey
SJ, Verrills, Schoupp, Peachey

6 trades, $370k

Would like to trade Brailey to Murray this week
Then most likely SJ + Hynes to Cleary + cashout

Lets me run home with

Watson
Haas, Crichton, Murray
Fifita, CHN
Cleary, Hunt
Bird, May/Peachey
Turbo, Ponga, Walsh

Teddy, Matterson, AFB, Schuster
Verrills, Schoupp, May/Peachey, cashout

Will this give me good enough cover in all positions?
3 trades for injuries/suspensions or to upgrade May/Peachey to Ramien if funds allow

I’m strongly considering Moses to Gutho and hoping Moses takes it easy with that injury. Don’t mess with your back.

Glad to see he takes my advice seriously

Watson has been named to start more times than Watson has actually started

It seems a fairly solid play, with enough merit. I’m hesitant to do anything until next week until I know more on Cleary. Only 5 trades left

Is gutho expected to excel in the absence of moses ?  Has rabbits and manly next.

Thank you kind sir!! Just on your WFB dilemma I actually like the To'o pick if it facilitates Cleary back in.

Ponga definitely has a higher ceiling but he does love an injury while To'o seems pretty bulletproof and will score consistently. There is a good chance they score the same over the remaining rounds (I'm probably going to go Hynes to Ponga when the time comes but only because I already have Cleary)
