NRL Fantasy 2021 Part 80 - Everyone gets a banner

It wasn’t a flaw in the game, it was me being far too short sighted and chasing a quick point/cash grab over something that would hold me in good stead long term. The game should reward people who think far ahead and plan for the unexpected.

Yeah not arguing that. Larger squad sizes my preference. Maybe a couple of extra trades, but not so many you get 2 a week.

Last round before finals.
At the top of the table, it's Mulvy and Random who are jostling for the minor premiership.
Both have relatively easy matches this week: Random plays Welshy and Mulvy's got me
Mulvy has a ridiculous points differential which is no surprise given his overall ranking so really only needs the win to finish at the top whereas Random would need to win and hope that Mulvy loses.

At the lower end of the table there's still hope for No Worries who is sitting 2 points shy of 8th place.
As it stands Milchy sits in 8th but has a tough match up against MTB ahead.
No Worries needs a big win against Mighty Fishes and to cross his fingers that MTB can deliver a spanking and he might just sneak into finals if he gets the 355 point swing.
Anything is possible!

Hope they don't go crazy with it. As frustrating as it can be, 2 trades a week is a completely different game. Managing trades is part of the appeal. If we could max trade I'd just grab DCE this week and straight swap to Cleary when he's back.

Plan is SJ/Hynes out and DCE/Radley in. 1 trade left after. Missing Cleary.

Could do Moses out instead of Hynes but I think Moses comes back (potentially next week) and be fine, and SURELY Paps will be fullback sooner or later. I need to do the DCE/Radley trade this week or won't have the cash to do it next week - so need to take a punt.

Hunt
Haas / Papali'i / Radley
Fifita / CHN
DCE / Gamble
Manu / Avo
Turbo / Teddy / Ponga

Watson / Brailey / Walsh / Reynolds
Verrills / Thompson / Moses / Bird

Main point being that I'm not trading Hynes out just yet.

(Or ideally, at all)

The 'Topes have lots of red dots this week - has the NRL introduced a surprise Bye Round per chance?
