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

Not based on anything but secretly hoping Peach gets back in. Can see Clark keeping that spot the way things are going, not that I noticed him do anything that spectacular last week.

Moylan in?

I can't see the actual team but this is the relevant part

Sharks coach Josh Hannay, with his options limited due to injuries affecting his 2021 playing roster, has retained the run-on team which went down last weekend, while making an adjustment to his interchange bench.

Youngster Luke Metcalf has been selected in jersey 14, with Billy Magoulias promoted into the 17 at the expense of Andrew Fifita who has been named in jersey 19 on the extended reserves list.

Mawene Hiroti is back in the 21 after breaking his hand two weeks ago, as is newcomer Kai O'Donnell, the former Raider having joined the Sharks on a short term contract late last week.

O'Donnell played four games in the NRL for the Canberra Raiders in 2020 before being released to return to the Queensland Cup and the Mackay Cutters midway through the 2021 season.

Matt Moylan remains unavailable due to a calf injury, as is Royce Hunt who returned to Sydney last weekend for the birth of his first child. Teig Wilton has a hamstring strain and was another not considered for selection.

You're a legend!

Sad stuff when you're relying on Trindall.

AFB could be a sneaky captain choice.  Should see great minutes.  Only two props on the bench and Frei starting.

Tevaga/Curran could also spend some time at lock.

Thanks dude.

All going well should have 20 green dots and only feel sick about playing 5 of them.

Hoping Papy is back at fullback this week

True. Played 55 minutes last week. I think he could see 60-65 but who knows.

Panthers play early so I'll know about Cleary early, nice.

CHN and Hynes lock out before Panthers, not so nice.

For people like me who have Crichton, no Cleary and limited trades

Do you bring Cleary in this week anyway and hope. Or trade in someone like DCE and start death riding Cleary for any week he does play.

If Cleary is a game day decision I am going to hold off on him (Even if he ends up playing) and bring in another semi gun like Leilua, Matterson, AFB.

But I have the trades to bring him in next week instead with my trades.

In your position it is whatever DCE scores this week compared to your 17th man vs whatever Cleary outscores DCE by for 3 games (That and the extra 10+ points by having Cleary as your Captain.) Which to me makes Cleary a better option most likely.

Well Wilton was fun while it lasted. Hopefully he comes back for a game over the next month. Too cheap to sell on

Hmm think I'll hold Crichton instead of using my last trade and loop Verrills and Trindall for spot 17. Unless Cleary is out again, in which case they'll both have to suit up like last round

Horsburgh and James to join bulldogs on a week by week loan deal.

At least Panthers play early this week, so can at least get confirmation of Cleary in/out before making the call

Other factor is if I go DCE over Cleary, can have a better player for the downgrade to afford Cleary (at this point it would be Shaun Blore, but an extra $300k might be useful too)

Like how many trades is barely any? Is the downgraded player your 18th man?

How on Earth are players allowed to switch clubs at this point in the season? Dogs are out of it, but they play teams in finals contention, so why are Raiders allowed to lend players out to help their competitors lose?

If the Tigers have a must win game in a couple of weeks to make the finals - can we borrow Taumalolo for the week? Payten doesn't seem to want him.

1k off Crichton + Lolo to Turbo + Sexton is painful. Probably would have taken that punt.

Bloody hell, Crichton and Lolo. Praying that Peachey plays. If Peachey plays and Cleary is in, I'm still thinking Fogarty to Cleary, hold Lolo and Angus. Fair chance Mulvy's charge has come to an end though.

It's times like these you think about how, if you hadn't been impatient and traded turpin to Egan, you'd have another trade right now...

Does it have to do with the Covid bubble and them not being allowed to bring in extra players that they are lenient about it?

Otherwise I can see your concern there, I mean we have this rule in Fantasy Draft that you can't trade players because of the risk of people giving their stars out when they aren't in contention anymore.

If Cleary doesn't play this week, many people who traded him in for a green dot last week are probably going to be a bit annoyed.
