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

Heavily considering it mate, he is due for a meat pie

I'm tempted to bite the bullet and go and spend my Cleary cash
Hynes/CHN to DCE
SWalker to Hughes

So no Cleary at all for the year? I mean they are both great upgrades and strong for the final run home. I would be so tempted by that.

I am liking Walsh against the Dogs as a Schmokey Captain or Ponga against the Sharks for a spot in the 8 captain.

Simonsson is back on the wing. Rapana still at fullback.

Bird getting another run at fullback too.

Beware the mathematical-chance Warriors. Wouldn't be surprised if the game is a high scoring toss of a coin with Walsh scoring 80, or a dour mess where the Bulldogs win 10-6 with a last minute try and Walsh scores 25 lol

Reckon Gagai is the safer bet than Rapana? More concerned about who is more likely to play the last 5 rounds rather than out-and-out top score.

I'd probably go Rapana personally.

One of my regrets, should have grabbed him when I had the chance.

Captain Turbo.

At this rate the risk of a below par score is more than worth the reward of a huge score.

Last 2 trades for me being spent this week.

I am looking at Crichton + Suallii to Cleary + Blore
or DCE + up to $556k

Lots of options in that range. Lussick, JPapalii, Tauapau, Aitken, Utoikamanu
Probably prefer a middle to cover Lolo + Crichton being out

Will make trade Friday afternoon once final info on Cleary is known

At least this week should know if Cleary is playing before lockout as cut to 19 man squad at Thursday 6pm

Trading Crichton over Lolo?

Could make the 19 cut and then not make the final 18

No JWH or Chrichton. Take the Broncos on the punt for $4.30 would be a better choice

Captaining Haas in autofill. Will do the same with my team if Cleary is confirmed out on Thursday. Should be a good shout.

4 forward bench is kind of a concern. But there could easily be some shuffling around.

I was planning on getting Cleary & Papy. But I have a feeling Papy will continue to get reduced minutes until the finals... and Cleary probably won't suit up this week or next week

Haas is a safe but boring captain choice at this time of year. I feel like a punt, but not sure on who.
