NRL Fantasy 2021 Part 78 - I can see Cleary now Mitch Rein has gone

I'm crazy for even considering it again, right?

I’ve been considering it too.
Is 2 games in a row considered a trend?
353k for someone who can get a banner is pretty good.

On SJ, have we not read this story before?

Fog scores 30 and 36 back to back, lots jump off, then bang, two 90s in three rounds.

Watson scores 24 then 42, lots of jump off, follows it up with an 86.

Matto crosses 50 once from R11-15, hits back with 63 and 76 the last two rounds.

Actually, I guess what I'm saying is expect another down score before the big bounceback.

Dudes just had a month off.

Not sure it's enough to be a trend, but the Raiders have won those two games, so it seems to be working.

I might be getting both Ponga and To'o to help offset the Turbo factor. But like you've said Ponga has shit the bed in the past so could happen again.

And they are def gonna need him during this tough run

I'm looking at the same trade outs. Looking at trading Moses this week and holding RTS one more week so I can turn him into Ponga next week.

I'd be inclined to hold both this week in your situation - turn RTS to Papy next week and get a better of idea of Moses' injury situation. As others have said it's really 50/50 whether trading Moses will work out or not so it's a gut call in the end.

Thanks for the feedback mate. Whilst I entirely agree, my issue is I have 17 green dots once I trade one of the 2 mentioned out.. and that includes Mbye in the 17. so i really can't sit

Surprised there's no talk around Jazz with Tohu out - historically a good PPM guy, good job security, similar price to Curran?

Jazz is playing Hooker and some think his scores will be lower.

To be fair mate, all Rabbits said was some dude on a discord chat said SJ is carrying an injury.

ok no worries. Just trying to work out the context of this exchange.

He was one of five nominated for the community team last week and two of them were traded in.

Has a low of 46 for the season taking out the injury game, and potentially underpriced because of it.

Would rather he didn't score the try, but not gonna avoid him because of it.

Ah, that makes it a bit trickier. Personally I would trade RTS this week and hope Moses is back next week (which seems likely) as Moses is a final 17 player as opposed to RTS. Apologies in advance if I've given you a bum steer.

determinant = beautiful word.

Nothing revealed but Bellamy says they have a plan around getting Papy into the game. No surprises there. He also mentions theyve asked about getting Coates early but seems like a no go.

Yeah I saw that they asked Broncos to get Coates before the Aug 2 deadline but Kevvy said he plans to use Coates over the next 6 weeks... BS

"Coates's demotion prompted a question from Melbourne – the team he will join on a two-year deal next season – about an early release prior to August 2, though the Broncos have insisted he will be considered for a recall over the final six weeks of their season."

I thought he'd be selected this week tbh. Isaako continues to have absolute shockers and Cobbo seems to have disappeared ? None are great options at the moment.

Not releasing Coates seems like politics (Donaghy legal suit/etc)

Why would you include the 21 point injury game in the average?

His floor is what you say is his average. He’s very likely to average 55 minimum from here on out and he costs under 700k. I think the only other player you can say that about is Murray.

Love how he calls HTF 'The Hammer' repeatedly

Bit of a bump lads.
H2H GF.
Hynes, SJ and Avo HLF picks. (Well Burton too tbh but hes ctr).

SJ over Avo? Have to pick, no free look coz playing each other.

I tend to agree mate. See if we agree on who to bring in:
Cook
Hodgo
Reed

Jack Reed was underrated as hell in his day but he and Hodgo are probably past it now.
