NRL Fantasy 2021 Part 33 - Was that the best round in the world? No it was just a tribute!

Iron Mike wrote:We could potentially see that Riki's time is up, especially with Panthers (Luai and Kikau), Eels (Moses and Ipap/Matterson), Titans (DFifita) up against him the next three weeks . Could easily score a 23 and peak around the $500K mark and hover there in the short to medium term future. Could be my downgrade option for a BSmith upgrade to Haas. Not sure.

I've been playing fantasy for 7-8 years (never finished top 10,000), and i never realised how much luck is involved, especially near the top of the rankings. One injury and your season is pretty much over. Here's hoping my team stays relatively injury-free this year

Also, thanks to everyone on this forum (esp. the regulars) for the discussion that takes place here, i'd be lying if i said that you guys aren't the reason that i'm doing well this year Good luck for next week!

I don't see how matchups against his opposite edge opponent are relevant.

I think he can score a 23, but could also bust out a 70 at some point.

In fact he got 70 last time he played the Titans. And 56 in 48 mins off the bench vs Panthers last season.

I'm just saying that whilst people are talking about Leniu and Liddle as trade out options, some traded Leniu out last week, then Riki is a candidate as a trade also given he is now around $500k and I don't see him as greater than a 44 average (Probably peaks at $550K so will stagnate now unless he jags another large score). Panthers, Eels (23) and Titans (70) to come in next 3. We could see Oates into the squad this week for Ben Te'o and had it not been for Te'o's injury his scored would have been a little lower. Can see him maybe not seeing the 80 in the coming weeks.

I didn't see a whole lot of the game, so can't really comment on his effort. Scores of 37 and 38 in the two weeks prior 'without really doing anything' though... its a frustrating one to be served up an 8 while other blokes in similar range score 50+

Averillo scoring 60+ in NPR's and the Dogs play the Cowboys next Sunday afternoon. I'll probably just chance my arm on Averillo. That still leaves me playing Niu at the other ctr against the Panthers though.. yuck. I'm starting to think Bird is the word..

I probably need to do something with Brandon Smith this week. Two weeks in a row he's played low mins due to caution and then illness, but it leaves me in a tricky spot on who to move him to.
