NRL Fantasy 2021 Part 84 - I got 99 problems, and a lack of trades is one of them

4 forward bench is kind of a concern. But there could easily be some shuffling around.

I was thinking if Paix is deemed fit he will probably come in. Would they really want to rely on Levi for 80 ? Levi has actually been ok for the last couple of weeks i guess

Dont reckon it matters what the bench is, still plays his 65 mins in that side

At this rate the risk of a below par score is more than worth the reward of a huge score.

100%, Turbo is an auto-captain for the rest of the year unless you have Cleary, and even then he might outscore him

Well this week is a bit boring to be honest

Anyone hit with the trifecta of Mahoney/Lolo/Crichton?

It's tough!

Trading Crichton over Lolo?

If I want Cleary - has to be Crichton

If not then can trade Lolo. But unless we get more solid info on his injury the n can run the risk that potential 2 weeks Lolo better than 1 week Crichton. Will see if we get any updates over the next couple of days

last time Titans played Souths, Fifita got a hattrick and 107 points, if you want to look at matchups

Agree on the Turbo Auto captain henceforth. 

I've made the horrendous call of bringing in DCE and SST for Angus and Fog.

I've been burnes by SST before, and I'll do it again!

Like for like…..dude who was origin level a couple of years ago and another dude who likes to get suspended

Teddy looks a shout this week for captain also. Scoring well recently without a try… easier game also and a must win, points diff also matters

Ah right. Yeah, I'm hoping we hear more on Lolo in the next couple of days.

I think the plan this week has to be Luciano for myself. The guy has two poor scores in his last 10 games, and only 3 scores below 40 points all year. With a draw of Cowboys, Sharks, Panthers, and Bulldogs so only one game where his side may get truly pumped. Then the Eels PoD in Lussick

"I'm unsure, I think it's a pain management thing from his side of things. The kid has played hurt or injured for most of the year."

If Lolo's form can be put down to this, could be a great pick up next season

Or Manu

Putting the C on a Centre (even in Manu's run of form) is 100% a big play

What are the odds of Ponga making it three hundred's in a row against the Sharkies?

Is that a quote from the coach or something mate?

Yes, Payten

Interesting. Could explain a lot.

Yeah up until this year, the one thing you could say about Lolo was that he was worth his $1M / year and you knew he would give it everything he has every week, even if others around him weren't. I doubt that his attitude has changed, but more likely caused by physical limitations based on this quote. It just happened to coincide with his coach giving him a serve, and his form is being attributed to a rift.

Hooper just said on 360 that he spoke to the Penriff CEO Brian Fletcher who said Cleary is "a 90% chance of playing this week"...

From James Hooper though so take it with a hugeee grain of salt lol.
