NRL Fantasy 2021 Part 19 - I told you so

Same could be said for Milf too.

Milfs always get another chance.

Same here. With fit players who are underperforming sometimes you wonder whether or not to hold in case they come good.  

Getting dropped makes the decision easier. I'd have traded Milford in for one week then out the next but oh well sometimes you've got to know when to fold  'em.

As someone who made 22/34 forced trades last year and 2/2 this year you definitely don’t want this. You want control if you know what you’re doing

If had to ditch lodge with Crichton also out last week and his replacement was davey. Makes it hard to gain momentum in points or cash. Again you don’t want this

Cleary out would allow me another week to build bank and get rid of some potential problems like Milf to some more money makers like Alvaro

When are you planning on getting him lad? If you got spare time could you have a geez at my team tracker - i'm also a clearyless owner that is trying to get him in

Captain for this week

TU: Brailey

TD: Angus

If the Eels show up like they did against the Storm it's going to be tough for the Sharks.

supposedly Oates is expected to come back in too, not particularly fantasy relevant but i guess a few might have jumped on Mead for the quick cash after R1.

This week if he plays bud, looking at Munster - Cleary and Turpin - Schuster (if named edge)

Can't handle the no Cleary train no more, no captain roulette needed and looking like and extra 20 points a week currently

Figure its around

Cleary 72-75 + Schuster 35-45
Munster 55 + Turpin 40-55

So 107-120 vs 95-110

yes mate will take a look at your team now

Awesome, thanks mate. Appreciate you

True it's just easier to trade out somebody dropped than trade a fit player out a week before they score 70 just to spite you.

Thoughts on Egan as a buy? I was originally on Alvaro, but Egan looks the goods if he can stay fit and keep his minutes, 61 in 80 mins is very nice indeed.

Anything blatantly wrong with selling Lam for Egan?

Milford I think  will be dropped. I have a feeling!

Re Souths Tatola has a hammy injury, severity not yet confirmed but he won’t be playing on Friday. Knight not due back til Round 4 and Sele and Jed also out so our bench looks thin. Likely Souths pack:

(I wouldn’t be shocked if Wayne starts Host on the edge come game day as Keaon would strengthen a week looking bench)

8. Tom
9. Cook
10. Arrow
11. Koloamatangi
12. Su’a
13. Murray

14. Benji
15. Nicholls
16. Mago
17. Host

I mean currently looks a great trade, long term both could end up averaging 45. Egan if playing 80 might point that needle closer to 50 because he's looked busy early doors

Depends on your thoughts for Lam moving forward and if he can get to where most put him at the start of the season

Not sold on Egan yet, only the 1 score over 50 last year with 9 starts at hooker @ 70 mins. Maybe some value there but no more than Lam +1 trade AND $27k

He's a top bloke Teeth.  Maybe it came out wrong but he would know I was being genuinely concerned, I hope.

Nah just stirring really, of course u meant well. Alot of the gang swooped in, awesome.

Haha, sorry chaps, missed this. I get a cheeky look in at the forum in the morning on the train to work, but sadly that's it for the next 12 hours on a double-shift Monday... so sorry this is late, but all good, chaps. Really appreciate all the tips and advice. It's much appreciated. And just confirming, I definitely took Wolfie's concern the right way. No one's aware of how bad I've started more than I, and it's definitely not something you could offend me with. Few things do that, to be honest.

Yeah, I was thinking similar to this. Egan was really appealing to me in the pre-season, but those bigger scores don't appear too common. That said, if I had to pick between the two I'd take Egan every time.

Alvaro + the extra cash would probably appeal most to me in this scenario, though.

What sort of minutes do you think Arrow would get and do you reckon he will stay in the run on side? And do you see Koala keeping an 80 min role?

yeah at this point the hard part is deciding between:

Plan A: Lam to Alvaro, -1 trade but +78k cash and likely more points

Plan B: Hold trades, I have no other real issues with my team

Alvaro has just shown you his absolute ceiling (with a line break!). He should still average 40 and get to the low/mid 500s but not sure that's guaranteed better than Lam (or other options like Koloa)
