NRL Fantasy 2021 Part 20 - Who needs halves ???

Taking full advantage this weekend of no rain in Brisbane and going to the game. Taking kids for the first time to watch live footy. No rain, a home day game provided to the Broncos (can't remember the last time that happened) and one of the few chances they have of winning a game this season (Bulldogs). All the stars are aligning this weekend.

Can still remember my first game my dad took me to in 1988. It was a right of passage that every footy fan will remember for the rest of their lives. Everybody still remember their first game?

I pumped a heap on Storm yesterday. Sad news for my fantasy team though

Right, captain Crichton or captain DiFi then?

If Riki is out as well as Cleary, it will test team depth for many.

Gonna take the punt on Murray for captain against the chooks. Slug.

Maybe. His score wasn't looking crash hot last week until he nabbed 2 tries in the last 10 minutes.  

Yeah for sure but in that team he’ll get more opportunities than not. And he’s a ball hog

BUMP

If I go through with these trades my team looks like this

31 trades 3k bank

Milford to Schuster
Moylan to Sitili


Brailey
BS9 Angus Watson
Fifita Tupouniua
Cleary Lam
Niu Averillo
Teddy Papy Laurie

Turpin
Liddle
Riki
Schuster

Leniu
Roberts
Stefano
Simonsson

Thoughts?

I have Stefano for MID cover and Angus can shift to EDG but the problem would be if Riki is a last hour scratching Angus plays on Friday so I'd be locked into playing Stefano whether Riki plays or not. Ah decisions, decisions.

Be surprised if it was serious, given he is still out there training.

More disappointing that he missed a tackle on a bloke with a crook hammy....

Correct, although I would say they are all capable of playing edge as well.

Holding. can't see the point in trading out someone who is not injured and more or less holding value at the moment.

I'm thinking of doing:
Capewell out - Schuster in
Tino out - Frizell in

Will give me:
Brailley
Crichton, Watson, Alvaro
D. Fifita, Frizell
Cleary (c), Lam
Roberts, Niu
Tedesco, Pappy, Laurie

Turpin, Liddle, Riki, Schuster
Leniu, Utoi, Averillo, Simonsson

Thoughts & thanks.

Am I seriously going to put myself through the torture of playing Gosiewski again

I hate planning trades, something always comes up. Cleary out means I have to rethink everything. Might have to hold trades. If Riki is out then that could be catastrophic.

Might have been a stat thing cause Teddy was only on 17 at halftime despite a try, RMs and a few TBs

Yeah maybe the KM's were not there.

Im thinking about going. Got a 30th on friday night though and it will be big and im.soft for backing up these days.

First game was at lang park befoee the renos. I was just a kid and all these slightly older kids kept yelling at someone named "fatty". Had no idea who they were on about. Of course it was fatty vautin

Yep depth tested now. Can't even loop with Cleary.

I looked at Townsend pre-season. I had him pegged for about a 45 average and thought Lam was the better option

He's done better than that so far (and Lam has done worse) but at this point not sure if its worth the switch or not.

I'm doing the old delayed catch up, apologies all for the tardiness. 
As for this week, to bring him in.. I don't know. I've already got him so hard to say. Holding Lam also for now, give him a week or two more.
