NRL Fantasy 2021 Part 86 - Zero trades left edition

Worst case scenario (Turbo, Lolo, Gagai, Avo all don't play) and he's got 9 players lol. Poor guy is going to end up going from top 50 to lucky to break top 5000 in 3 weeks.

Getting us non Turbo owners hopes up like that is just plain mean. That late season charge I had in mind out of the question. Turbo fucking me again lol.

Yeah typical media douchebags.

Shoutout to Camo for being a more real journalist without trying from his own home.

It was a fun 12 hours or so, visualising all those rank gains.

I think they'd be mad to rest him while Manly are outside top 4 - so he's playing.

Yeah, he'll play, 100%.

Given what we know about concussions and the fact Bellamy said that Hughes couldnt remember the game he's no chance of playing right?

"Obviously we had Hughesy and Dale with the head knocks and it looks like they'll be resting this week," said prop Jesse Bromwich on Monday.

From a recently updated nrl.com article. Only JBrom, but at least it's not some tossbag journo.

In other news, Willison expected to miss the opening rounds of next season due to a badly damaged ACL. From a Broncos spokesperson.

Just thought it was interesting that despite luck obviously being a big part of fantasy, basic trades left + squad value analysis was (in this case) decent at predicting future results.

I’ve got 20 green dots and two trades. Do you think I can make it from 3400 to 1 in three weeks?

If anyone has trades to take a punt on his JS, Papy is now only 466k.

Feels like there are going to be lots of obvious must haves next season

I'd be confident Papy gets a tax on his price next season. Will probably still be a must have anyway

Given concussion protocols, I'd be surprised if he's even named.

Battle of the TItans in the mods league this weekend, mate! You'll probably beat me with or without Hughes!

I got ahead of the pack and brought him in 2 weeks ago. Probably should have gone Latrell

I’d remove the word Probably

Also Grant said on the big league wrap last night that they would be without Hughes this week

Can I ask the thought process in picking him up when still coming from the bench? Genuinely intrigued.
