NRL Fantasy 2021 Part 60 - Twas the night before origin team lists, and .....

So mad about Koro. Not sure if I should hold him or not.

“welcome boost for coach Kevin Walters who has lost Payne Haas and Xavier Coates to Origin duty”

How times have changed, and the great have fallen.

Imagine the Broncs losing only 2 players over origin, and one of them a Blue

Am I right in thinking that Burton is likely to play in the halves in round 14 too? 2 day turnaround for both Cleary and Luai, and Burton is their first choice replacement.

Who do we think will be the best sub 300k player will be for points over the next few weeks TU Hetherington or TD Jones?

If you're flush with trades I don't think it's terrible to be honest. However Hynes is not a keeper so you'll be using two trades on him. He won't be in the starting side permanently so consider how badly you need his points and cash short-term.  

Green was going to give players up until Wednesday/Thursday latest to prove their match fitness.
I guess we'll find out before the start of the round if Mahoney plays

Bringing in Hynes eh mate, will certainly make for easier viewing the next two weeks for you.

I am considering it as well but jeez I don't know, so late to the party and then if Munster does play next week and I only get one week from him I'd be spewing.

I will probably get cold feet. Hmmm....Storm play Sunday after origin but I would doubt Munster would be made to back up, if Paps is infact back next week. Not even in the 21 this week. One of those things where I think I'd rather have some sanity than stress over a game again. Hughes could get a rest at any time also. He is playing good enough that Bellamy can rotate players and rest as much as he needs.

For me Penrith play Friday, and there is no way To'o would be needed to back up, so it kind of makes sense for me, I think.

I think Mahoney named at 9 is a good indication that he won't be playing Origin. I'm sure the club has spoken to Green to get a bit more inside info. You'd think he'd be in the reserves if he was a strong chance for Origin.

Completely without intention, but I just noticed I have 8 players in Fantasy, SC and VSDT this week. Several same faces, but a few variations across each format. Hoping I don't completely ruin VSDT season with this "strategy" as I had been going OK. SC not too bad either.

Love this news, future looking bright, should make the 8 next year

MAHONEY RELEASED BY MAROONS

Reed Mahoney’s State of Origin dream is on hold for now after Maroons coach Paul Green released the no.9 once Queensland star Harry Grant showed there are no issues in relation to his fitness.

The Eels have now named Mahoney to play against Newcastle on Sunday as the Maroons prepare to deploy Grant as Queensland’s first choice dummy-half for State of Origin I in Townsville on June 9.

mahoney is in... now Lucy  

What’s the craic with the Origin number 18s (AJB and Koro). Assuming any sort of release to play is not possible, especially now the club 21s have been named?

If gone form 12-15 players after trades to thinking ill just trot 10 men out and save some trades. Buzz kill

It is?  Oh, that changes things.

I dont actually know Wolfie, u know me....

I'm tempted to bring Mahoney in this week, but am favouring Macca at this point. I think they'll score about the same in the long run but I Mahoney still probably a very good chance to play in at least one of the Origin games.

Poor warriors fans say that every year

Joey Lussick not in the 17 aswell which is good. Been chipping into his mins recently.

Don’t usually see many wingers rested after Origin and players usually say it’s easier to back up with less days after Origin. Surely should be fine to back up even though he’ll be doing bit of hard yards

Robert Jennings not the greatest back up

I too am baffled with what to do with To’o, actually leaning to holding all trades and going with 11
