NRL Fantasy 2021 Part 19 - I told you so

Know what you mean but SJ is (was) one of the most purely talented halves of the last decade so don't think Croft does have the skillset really.

Also, anybody without Pap can wait a week while playing Penriff.

I don't have Cleary, so I'm interested to see how this game goes. Hopefully enough to stall his price rises lol

Not sure about the wait a week call on Pap. We all saw in the GF last year that he can step up against anyone (Not a huge fantasy score but cut a game open skills with added GK on this year) and his score last week in horrid conditions was pretty great.
IMO they will be pissed off at their performance last week, so won't be surprised if they go all out attack again like round 1, with Pap the focus of that!

Option 1: trade out Tohu and Brooks for Schuster and Cleary.
Pros: Get Cleary, ditch Brooks who could become a liability very soon, get Cleary in one week (if playing). 
Cons: Trading two healthy bodies, Tohu gun keeper, Tohu only edge cover. 

Edit: Re italics above, I've noticed I could play Alvaro in my starting MIDs and bring Angus to the bench for Edge cover. Posting again below for a TU/TD team analysis.

Option 2: trade Brooks + Turpin to Schuster + basement (verills?) To leave 600k in bank. Then trade middy (Tino?) to Cleary next week. 
Pros: Get Cleary, cut some dead weight, start more cash generation (Schu)
Cons: Using three trades to get Cleary, miss this week's score (if playing)

Thoughts on either option? At this point I'm leaning do neither, but could easily be convinced. Current lineup to help analysis:

JBrailey 
Angus(C) Watson Tino 
Tupouniua Riki 
Fogarty Brooks 
Momo Remis 
Teddy Papy Laurie 

Tohu Liddle Turpin Alvaro 
Niu Leniu Averillo Faamusili

Would be nice though

If you have Pap, I would focus on Defeater. Edge is very scant on guns, but a WFB of Pap & Laurie is not an urgent concern

Because of concussion symptoms after the fact. Passing the HIA just means you can re enter the game in that instance, doesn’t mean they don’t develop symptoms in the hours/days after. Sure Matterson has passed on field but missed the game following.

Cleary will be fine I’d guess mate, technically with less game turnaround he’s got less days to develop symptoms

It means I waste an early trade on a likely keeper, but I get a similar scorer that keeps the points and dollars ticking over for the next month or so. Three options also leave me with $150K in the bank and Elliot would leave me with over $100K.

If I was that way inclined, the guy I pick may have peaked by the time Matterson returns and I could swap back for around the same after Matterson's price drops. Or I could swap out someone else, if this guy's still performing?

If Matterson only misses one or two weeks I'll probably still hold him, but thinking if 3+ weeks is looking likely that this might be the more sensible route to take?

Sounds like coach/media games. Doubt Bellamy will be preparing for a Cleary-less Panthers though.

Sounds like you really want to hold Matto.  Maybe wait for more news mate before pulling trigger.  While I can see him resting for a bit, you'd punch yourself if you traded him and he were back the next week.
