NRL Fantasy 2021 Part 38 - Milkshakes, Centers and travel bubbles

All of a sudden Turpin to Ponga becomes mighty tempting

Tino being suspended has made my tough decision to finally give up hope with him easier (Fantasy wise)
Tino + Milf to Tohu + Verrills (He's named? Could be anyone else under 500Kish but i like the 300k that leaves in the bank)

SST named - don’t think he’s shown keeper potential, losing cash and not playing R13
Townsend - could probably keep 1 more week and hope he isn’t one subbed for SJ
Papenhuyzen- no WFB cover with him out, probably rather play 16
Gosiewski- can finally fuck him off for Verrills

I'd say it's Moylan who gets subbed if SJ is to come on, but with The Chad leaving it could mean a change up and the Cowboy saviour goes off.

How is he named?

I thought it was "potential" damage cuz of where the break occurred? Maybe it wasn't a bad as first thought/ can wear protection for it or something

Hmm actually SST to To’o could be decent shout, gives me the WFB I need

Still plays R13, and prevents any further 16 man scares most likely with 4 WFBs

With SST in 2nd last game don’t think I can take risk on him being late out

Looking at your mate Nofo aswell. Can he get back to his damaging best?

Option 1 seems the safest, Option 2 is gun rd 13 though.

Tigers have a good run up until their bye also. I think I'd like the centre cover in Hampton though but Nofo is a gun that can cover Paps if he's out more than a week.

Nofo has looked good the last two weeks.

Flip a coin. Lomax and Best maybe in contention as actual centres but less likely.

i would imagine Turbo ends up at centre, for all Freddy's failed attempts at turning gun fullbacks into origin centres, Turbo was the one that actually worked

With Levi on bench for Bronc’s, Haas has come back into my trade in plans

Caleb aitkens a good shout ? Could be in for some good price rises passes the eye test and nothing went super well for him and still got 35 pts last week

Probably good for Lodge as well. Also am very drawn to TPJ this week. And just when I'd got rid of most of my Broncos too.

With that sentiment, i've locked him in.

CNK due back in 3-6 weeks, probably avoid Aekins, shouldn’t score enough to make decent cash

Not sure if you saw my post before, but it was that CNK doesn't require surgery so could be back in 3-6 weeks

As much as I love watching him, I may go Haas and Hampton. Although I can wait until Friday night so if IPap starts again with no Matto, I could go him and Nofo.

The official updates was

"Scans have confirmed that Siosiua Taukeiaho has sustained a moderate rib cartilage injury. He will be monitored in the coming days."

I am not sure where you read about internal damage, but guessing it was just randoms on FB/twitter

I have no belief that SST lines up this week. I actually think Matterson is much more likely than he.

In related news, I'd never dislike anyone or make life decisions based on things around Fantasy... but fucking hell this Kevin Walters schmuck is testing this core value of mine. Murdered Milf and Niu last week, and now he signs and bring Levi into his team? If they were great decisions, I'd say good luck to the guy, but the Niu and Levi decisions don't work for me whatsoever, regardless of how he is subsequently fucking an already tough year in Fantasy for me.

I think if it came down to it as a coach, I'd probably play Paix at hooker over Levi anyway... maybe.
