NRL Fantasy 2021 Part 83 - the chin is back... still a sore shoulder, as a matter of fact

I feel like I’ll be getting Cleary next week for the next 4 weeks

Hold trades and loop CHN and Verrills (via Crichton) with Walsh at 16 leaving 2 trades

OR

Trade CHN > Grant, play Grant at 16 and loop Walsh and Verrills (via Crichton) leaving 1 trade?

Yes agree, that's the upside. Less will finish the season with him now for that exact reason.  

Indeed. Just really really hope he is back next week........

Reckon the storm are playing with fire with Hughes. They obviously know what they are doing.

Haas: 39.4%
Trbo: 16.3%
Doueihi: 10.2%
Fifita: 9.2%
DCE: 8.2%
Ponga: 7.5%

I reckon he's a good chance of getting a rest next Thursday against the Raiders if he plays tomorrow night.

I get the feeling despite finishing in the top 2 in most of my leagues that I am going to get knocked out in straight sets in all of them.

His father Ivan said his recovery from a shoulder injury was going well, but there is still no timeline for his return despite being named in the 21-man squad earlier in the week.

"He's good - he won't play tomorrow," he said.

"He's had another good week at training but he's really close. He was probably more unlikely not to play than to play this week.

"We don't really have an exact timeline, it's a matter of going through the processes and ticking boxes and getting him confident in as many areas as we can.

"He's tracking well, and we're going along with the process that we always had in mind."

Ah crap, maybe we did jump the gun way too early. Ah well.

I mean Ivan also confirmed he won't be suiting up

4 trades left. Carrying Hynes and CHN.

Would you use one of those trades to get a good scorer in that won't get benched like say Mahoney or Murray?

Has no bearing on my ability to get Cleary, I've got plenty of cash but it is trading a green dot out. For all I know CHN starts again next week or Hynes benched last week was only because of the ankle problem.

You’ve been swindled lads

I need to trade CHN or Hynes this week to probably Blore to fund Cleary. Although I am kind of thinking Cleary could potentially fuck the rest of my season and just spending his money somewhere else.

More unlikely not to play than to play makes it sounds like he was very close, surely back next week?

Gotta play Hynes either way  so going to have to cross fingers

Yeah, you're right. I first read that he was more 'likely' not to play, not 'unlikely.' So yeah, kind of need the Roosters to win and win well and I think we'll see him back. But seems very close.

Yeah me too. Depending if Melbourne get infront Hughes might get an early shower but can see this being a tight contest.

Trindall owners rest easy Moylan is out.  Not that trindall was in any real danger of being bumped.

Awesome. Still good to have that peace of mind regardless. Really need him to replicate last weeks performance somehow haha.

If anyone wants to learn about some of the history of this place, I just stumbled across this wonderful thread for the ages:
