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

Ramitinmyhaaas wrote:Hughes not in any of the 20 captain's run photos which is abit of a concern...

Anyone heard anything?

Scared he will be out and Papi to 1 and Hynes to 6

I’ve heard both Hughes and gutho as in doubt but not sure how legit it is

A few pages back there was talk of AFB over Murray for $70k cheaper

AFBs 2 recent big scores have come from the 2 games where Tohu got injured early, and AFB had to play big minutes

Don't think he'll go that big regularly.

I have traded Murray in this week instead

Looking back at trades this year, I think my 2 biggest mistakes were not getting CHH or Hynes

FCHN the worst because I took a punt on Starling instead, hoping Hodgson was going to get the flick mid-season as was somewhat rumoured at the time.
I would definitely have started with CHN if he'd started in round 1, so I should have jumped on when i had the chance

Hynes in when Papy was out was probably worth the gamble - he was pretty cheap and there were signs early Papy would be out for a bit. Certainly that info came out early enough to still move on Hynes

Other trades that have stuffed me have been as much bad luck as bad trades - having CTRs get injured 4 weeks in a row is just what happens in fantasy. Without hindsight can't have changed that
Also holding Tohu Harris almost paid off but instead cost heaps of money and points.
I'm holding Moses, so look for him to comeback next week for 5 points an a new injury

going against the herd

I think for me not getting iPap sooner has to be one mistake. Those first 1-6 games where he came from being a fringe bench player at the Warriors to a full blown gun, scoring tries with ease. I grabbed him in R7 for a 62 and a try and since scoring 5 tries in the first 7 rounds he has only scored 2 since but is still going very solid!

yeah, getting iPap when Matterson first went down was another move that should have been made

Wow, Kiwis and Kangaroos have pulled out of the World Cup.

I still wouldn't bet on England. Sorry Welshy..

Decision time. Who to trade in for Tohu out of Mahoney and Murray?

Murray DPP does look nice, but will Mahoney outscore him? I have brailey, Watson and Verills as hok options.

@Camo123

I responded to your loop thread question, might have a solution.

Anyone want to run an eye over mine?

https://www.nrlfantasyfanatics.com/t661p840-loopholers-anonymous-a-wretched-hive-of-scum-and-villainy#547610

Do I dare be a contrarian with my Captain choice or just default to the player with the highest average (Fifita)?

TU: Starling is a trap
TD: Starling is a good cash down

Flailing for ideas at this point

How many trades have you got left

I think you want a premium hooker over Brailey/Watson

Do you have trades cash to double trade Brailey + Tohu for both Murray + Mahoney?

For me CHN and Turbo

Both with the same lesson. If you want them in R1 and they miss R1, you probably want them when they start playing early season

I have Mahoney, Brailey, Watson, Verrills.

Just a question, if Brailey were to go down for the season then would Watson be their solution at hooker? Just wondering whether Watson becomes a better option at hooker without Brailey?

They still have the mighty Chris Randall.

Brailey's only had a couple of rests at the end of games here and there, so not sure how high they are on Watson as a fill-in.

Have Brailey, Verrills and BS9.

6 trades left. Held cleary. Need another mid/edg option, so Murray is one trade in. Not sure if I need another 9. happy to double trade. Fog/Moses the ones going out.

Nah, you don't need another 9. I reckon BS9 is good to hold as I am beginning to suspect Harry Grant is an NFT.

One trade, hold and see how it unfolds this week.

Fk really need to know if Hughes will play or not arghhhh
