NRL Fantasy 2021 Part 53 - The round's over. The magic lives on.

Any news on Curran?

Thinking this will be my first no trade week. Only person i really want to get in for pappy is To'o. I reckon with a BE in the 80s, Lots of people missing Peachy, I can afford to wait a week and hopefully get better news on SOO prospects.

Are people thinking of May as someone to try make some money/points over rd 13/ SOO?

I mean, i have done literally zero investigation in this but have a strong opinion regardless, this seems short sighted and desperate.

Desperate we are.

The cupboard is pretty bare as far as cheap CTRs go. I don't think anyone with Peach + Bird or the like really wants to spend 450-500k+ on a back-up.

Hell I'm thinking about Talau

I'm still leaning towards just playing with 16.

Via NRL Physio Twitter:

Reported hyperextended elbow for Josh Curran, video matches reports with clear hyperextension after arm caught between bodies. Main concern for medial elbow ligament injury.
Recovery guide:
- simple hyperextension/ligament sprain: 1-4 weeks
- elbow dislocation/fracture: 4-8 weeks

Haven't seen any clarification from Warriors, but it might be out there.

I'm likely going to play 16 with Peach out with other fires to put out assuming Momo doesn't play.

Random fact: did you know Momo in Japanese means Peach.

Gerard Beale has signed with St George Illawarra for the rest of 2021.....

Didn't even think about this! Pappy BE around 100, may only have 1 game before Origin, then possibly half a game after Origin (most likely plays the whole game though). Could be around 700K by R14-15 and allow me to boot Pappy and Roberts for the likes of Haas and Lucy

I can do Pap to Hughes and Roberts to Brian Kelly thoughts on that?

Jeez, and I thought we were desperate for a centre.

Why no love for Seb Kris? 323k pretyy cheap for a decent centre

I have Peach and Bird but I am warming to the idea of spending that much for a back up. I have the cash. I used the same logic when I bought Peachey which was a good trade despite the recent dilemma. And as MS said, if I then want to release that cash out of centre down the track, I can trade one of Bird or Peach to a rd17 gun possibly in another position if I have the trades and green dots to allow for it.

I was originally, but holding not only means missing scores for probably the next 2+ weeks, it means I still have James Roberts who needs trading at some point. Might as well trade him now?

All you brisbanites.. where is a really nice place to ya know ask a question to someone?
