NRL Fantasy 2021 Part 41 - Didn't see that coming!

Made $158k in 4 weeks.

If you think that's a bad trade-in in Fantasy then you're doing it wrong...

I recall that there was talk that he was dropped from Origin because he brought a level of negativity with him.

Then this year Freddie said something about how it was actually because Newcastle haven't shown the tenacity to stick with the good teams in big matches (not sure why that would be Klemmer's fault, but if that's the reason, then it doesn't seem to have changed).

His form doesn't seem as good this year as it did the last couple of years, so coupled with those other reasons outside of Football - it seems he's likely a very low chance of being selected.

Morning all. Another average week with a third consecutive drop in ranks seeing me drop down at around 5000th. Team isn't in too bad a shape considering I've saved a few trades so far. Keen to get your thoughts on who would be the most urgent trade outs this week?

Brailey
Smith, Watson, Lodge
Fifita, Schuster
Cleary, Fogarty
Roberts, Bird
Tedesco, Laurie, Hampton

Crichton, Turpin, Simpkin, Walker
Utoikamanu, O'Sullivan, Croker, Papenhuyzen

Consider the guys in red as possible trade outs at this stage. Probably Turpin and Smith the most urgent?

27 trades, 385k ITB, so plenty of options

Atm I think Stefano and SOS to McGuire and Moses. Plenty of time to think today

 I never doubted him.

Admittedly Im only playing on the VSDT comp, but why trade out Stefano? feels a little premature. Last week was a bit of an anomaly I'd say - first stint was actually really good and then game got out of reach and for all intents and purposes he didnt really have a 2nd stint. I plan on holding him till 13 on the assumption that he plays ~40min on average (2 stints of 20) and scores at about 40 as well. Or am I missing something..?

Wasn't saying it was a bad trade in, was saying I thought I had missed the boat on a key cow, and was fortunate that it didn't turn out that way.

45 wasn’t it mate? Seems to not matter now.

Yeah I hear ya mate. I’ll probably end up holding and hope the Tigers find a way to keep games closer just throwing out some ideas to be shot down

BREAKING: Appears Tom Dearden and Brodie Croft have been dropped!!! Training with reserves.

Milford recalled and Tyson Gamble called up.

Poor Kevvy. Tried to give Dearden some field time and he fucks off and now is dropped. Surely early release on the cards then?

Gamble on Gamble?

My team is fucked! My scores are fucked! No clue what to do! and I need to poo!

What if, wait for it


Sean O’Sullivan was injured.....

Unless Harris was dropped as well and Bayley Sironen is his long term halves partner then perhaps he was a late out.
Turner out for season, CHT still out for over a month
As long as O’Sullivan is fit I can’t see why they wouldn’t play him, played ok 3/4 games

Will know more at 4pm I guess

Gamble not even in the system ?
