NRL Fantasy 2021 Part 77 - To'o tired to think of a witty title

Same here, absolute toiler.  I think you missed the game, or was that Sunday you were working?

He played on for 5 minutes after injuring it-every single pass he made from dummy half he got worse and worse till he couldn't stand anymore, which I think is why some people thought it was more a leg injury to start with.  Even the commentators made no mention of it till he went for an HIA as the initial report.

Can’t afford DCE and Hughes without wrecking the Cleary fund, so probably looking at Schuster back in or uhh Dylan Brown?

Originally when Cleary was out I was thinking of maybe doing a “bridge” trade and upgrade Fogarty to DCE and then upgrade again when Cleary returns

Don’t know if it’s worth 2 trades but worse case scenario would be to be stuck with DCE

wolfking wrote:6 trades left.  Might just turn Moses into To'o and move Hynes to the halves.  Will then use Fog to loop Burton and Peach.

Might just be deathriding Turbo for the year and just load up on anytime try scoring bets on him each week I think.  No Manly players will hurt though.

Hynes can maybe be a springboard for Cleary perhaps.

what’s your team looking like atm?

Before any trades mate;

Brailey
Haas Tolo IPap
Fifita Crichton
SJ Moses*
Manu Bird
Ted Hynes Walsh

Watson CHN AFB Burton

Peach Laurie Verrills Fog*

6 trades only 4K.

Have looked at combos for both Fog and Moses with DCE, Turbo plus others but can't get either with a decent downgrade.  Just thinking To'o as my WFB POD.  Had him from about round 6 to Origin and loved watching him.

Team before trades w 115k cib.

Cheese
iPap Haas Angus
DFifi CHN
Fog SJ
Bird Burton
Garrick Hynes Walsh

Watson Matto Teddy Lhompson

Lawton Avo Lawrie Verrills

I need Turbo i think coz opponent has him, so Fog to Turbo funded by Lawton with a looping Deitz is one option.

I also like Fog + Garrick > Turbo + Lolo, but this doesn't leave any cheaty bench manipulation.

Thoughts?

To’o is solid, i like Ponga for a bit more (or probably a bit less if are prepared to wait a week). feels like you want a stronger 17th man than Burton back to playing centre too. Selling Moses, Fogarty and Hynes to To’o, Cleary and a cashout doesn’t give you many trades left to upgrade Burton (or Peachey or Laurie) though.

Quite a predicament, cob. I like Jele's Ponga call and he'd be a nice replacement next week for Hynes, whom you can play this week. Assuming Fog back next week, probably worth a hold? You could make it through with Burton in the halves this week and do Moses to Mahoney if you were feeling frisky. Hynes to Ponga / To'o next week and upgrade one of those bottom three as per Jele's suggestion.

It's a tough match up this week, but any interest in Doueihi as a halves replacement for Moses?  

Teeth Eater wrote:Any tearaway I'm missing that is certain to put on a big score this week? Can't afford DCE, Hughes or Pappy, but anyone else is possible (and yes, I sadly realise that cuts out two of this week's most likely).

I already have most the usual suspects (Fifita, Turbo, Teddy, Schuster, Ipap, Mahoney, Haas, Crichton, Ponga, Walsh etc) and just looking for a bit of a left-field points guaranteed type of fella. No issue at all if it's only a one-week rental too.

Got my eyes on Murray, Lolo, Douehei and CHN but don't like Arrow on bench, Lolo against Storm and Douehei against Manly. CHN would mostly be to negate H2H opponent's POD. Anyone obvious I'm missing who's going big?

Hunt without Norman maybe a strong possibility?

I would definitely get Turbo.

See how your travelling Saturday afternoon and if need a risk I would look at pushing Hynes to half and swapping Johnson for Toó, think Johnson is not looking good, not kicking,

running or tackling for that matter and Toó against Broncos could go large.

You would need to put Hynes to 1/2, Teddy to FB and Johnson to reserves before Teddy plays on Friday though.

Good Luck

Selling Fog to Turbo requires playing Nicho at HLF already bro because SJ and Avo just isn't gonna cut it. Or is it?

SerhanYoshi wrote:In a bit of a dilemma here.

I can only get one of Mahoney or Ponga for my final team.

Option 1: Get Ponga next week, and end up with Brailey in my final team (WFB's being Walsh, Turbo, Teddy, Ponga - one benched/reserves)

Option 2: Get Mahoney this week, end up with my final team WFB's being Teddy, Turbo, Walsh. Potential to trade Brailey later on. No Ponga.

Which one sounds like the better plan?

I was high on Murray too mate but the bench scares me off a little.  He's still a great pickup though I may consider.  What about AFB?  Been great the last two weeks.
