NRL Fantasy 2021 Part 84 - I got 99 problems, and a lack of trades is one of them

Seems the plan was for him to contain Fifita. Has worked the other way though, Fifita has contained Lolo, and Lolo can't contain Fifita.

They contained Fifita ok. Trouble is the Titans scored six tries on the other side of the field.

I think I remember that play. I remember thinking he bumped off a tackle and offloaded at more or less the same time, meaning it's either a tackle bust (and then a pass) or an offload while the defender was still in contact (briefly) but not both. He's been credited with neither, so hopefully a couple of points in updates.

Yeah it was a definite TB and offload I'm pretty sure.  Not sure if a penalty followed the play or something?  Not sure, hopefully he can crack 40 in updates.

I think you misread me. I'm saying it's a TB or an OL, not both.

Wwwooohhhoooo just realised I finished 4th in L3 after regular season!

I was up against minor premier @Pain this week and I gotcha mate and am through to the prelim. Was very close mate a great contest! I’m sure you’ll bounce back next week and well done on being inside the top 250.

Sorry mate. I thought it was both you are probably right.

1007 for me pre updates. Rank is up from 2347 to 2058 so up nearly 300 ranks. They should add on my Ponga points too overnight which will help.

Ramien 61 and Manu 61 really helped me gain those ranks.

Teddy 85, Murray 70 were standouts for me also!

1006 and up to rank 824 from 938. Considering I copped both Watson and Hynes scores I'll take it.  

Got 3 trades left. Tempted to use two of them to get two guns in next week so I can stop getting 20's.  

Beginning to think Cleary is only going to be back last 2-3 rounds so may take gamble of skipping him.

920 for me. Drinky 22 and Tups 14 really hurt. Gained 200 ranks though. 

The 5000-10000 rank area must be all outta trades and many fielding 16 by now for my 920 to gain ranks lol

984 with a gain of 36 spots @ 920 rank

1006 and a bit of an upward arrow

Next round going to be ugly if Angus and Api both suspended. Looks like my 13-17 could be Verrills, CHN, Hynes and SCrichton. Won all my H2Hs this week but will lose them all next.

Hynes stripped of 9 pts the downer of the round

1032 and up from 95th to 62nd. I think there must be quite a few up here without trades. Up to 4th in the Cowboys league and the gap has narrowed to a feasible 233 points. *crosses fingers*

One trade left and 597k. I'm happy to wait for Cleary. I mean, if it's your last trade, you wanna hold it as long as possible anyway, right? And, assuming he hasn't lost a step, there's no one better to bring in.

Sorry mate, just as Mulvy said but if you've been lurking then understand the post haha.

Welcome, post more and sorry you lost your H2H too mate.

No hard feelings lol, I always enjoy reading your posts around here

Plan is to post more when I find the time, some of you lot are borderline geniuses at fantasy so figured I would join the fun early for next year hahah

Pretty good week considering I had to play Verrills with Cleary out, and he was my lowest scorer. Plus the Warriors won GG

1057, 800 ranks back up to 2617.

Hopefully Cleary back next week and the charge is on.

1013 this week pending Fifita ups or downs. 5 trades left and can hopefully add Cleary next week. Onto TLT

Sexton will be about 450k next week, might have enough for Crichton + Watson to Sexton + Turbo.

Cover shouldn't be a huge issue. Would be a ballsy play for the last 2 trades, but not sure I can make enough of a charge without Turbo.

955 - slightly below par, dropped about 60 spots. Hopefully updates are kind. Burton and Lucy saving me from disaster.
Another tough round coming up, hopefully Cleary suits up to bolster the numbers

1060 up to rank 695 from rank 1k. Dream is alive for the top 500

1060 for the round, and up to rank 257. It's nice to be moving in the right direction. Happy to have won my L1 Qualifying Final as well as my eliminator match up.
