NRL Fantasy 2021 Part 88 - No Cleary, No Problem

Shite my starting halves have horrible match ups...Moses v Storm(a) & Doueihi v Panthers(a). I can see scores between 30-40 points each lol.

Nice! Not much cheering going on in TheWeapons camp. Dropped over 1400 places since rd 18! Totally due to poor management - I used my last 2 trades to field 17 due to a couple of injuries and suspensions....but I was confident because I had a solid bench and emg cover in every position.... Then I copped injuries to McCullough, SJ, Bunt, Wilton, CHN, Hughes, suspensions to 3 players at once, and it all went horribly bad. Oh well, had to roll the dice!

Well done to everyone who held trades!!

Im sure guys who have won overall have run out of trades early, like rd 20. There are always injuries to deal with but this year seems to be more suspensions. Maybe smaller squads has also made it more difficult to run with no trades than it was in the past.

They have to get rid of the loading as some suspensions are rough just because of the high loading

Seen headed to the bathrooms with NRLW Broncos player Millie Boyle.  

She obviously went with him to blow........... his mind with a fascinating intellectual discussion of the Vietcong's use of guerrilla warfare against the technologically superior US Army.

Being they are both players it will be interesting to see how the NRL handle it. He has form, the womens season only lasts 8 weeks. It's going to get calls of double standards no matter what they do.

So despite the Roosters having 16 injuries and 14 suspensions they are loaning a Drgons team out of finals contention Freddy Lussick for the last 2 games because Macca is out. Unbelievable

Good luck @hkweves. But you know I'll win.

Its been a wild ride (I was actually in last place in R14). So there are definitely much better teams in league 51 who fell short at the final hurdle, they probably deserve to be there ahead of me but thats Fantasy Football for you!

Good luck to you and all the other finalists in their respective leagues though! Im hoping Cleary gets an early shower or decides he needs to make up another tiktok dance at half time

Forum league finals could get a bunch of "upset" results.

Most people here play for overall, and will be running on fumes for the last month, with little if any trades available and scrambling to field a team

But there are a few people around who concentrate more on H2H results. They should have a few trades available to stay strong for the run home, so as long as they were good enough to make the top 8 in the first place, they should be able to make a strong finals charge, even from a low league rank.

Like the little girl who wants tacos, I am able to do both equally.

I suck at both overall and H2H scoring

Congrats by the way.
I wish I could've given you more competition, but you absolutely trounced me!

Congrats also to @cantbeatwinners who took out the Draft League 2 final.

My L9 match up with Minto the immortal.

I’ll bring the lube.

You know you are struggling, when you hope Tyrone May gets named.

Penrith Panthers vs Wests Tigers
James Fisher-Harris is back for the Panthers, which will see a straight swap with Matt Eisenhuth. Viliame Kikau could move back into the starting side for either Kurt Capewell or Liam Martin. Dylan Edwards will need to pass a concussion protocols to play, with Stephen Crichton to go to fullback if he is out and Charlie Staines to return on the wing. Tyrone May is also a chance of returning, which would push Mitch Kenny out of the side. (Zero Tackle)

Spoiler:

May and Tago pls ! Haven't fielded 17 for over 3 weeks.

Doueihi out this week via SMH

Shite Klemmer not even a good loop option lol.
Gonna have to leave 3* out and hope the chosen ones perform

NRL Physio:

Adam Doueihi out this week due to a knee injury suffered in Rd23 (via SMH). Described as a “knock” post game, obviously hasn’t pulled up well enough over the past few days. No word on nature or severity of the injury from the Tigers as yet, signs pointing to minor issue

Welp I could be in for a tough week.

This is another swift kick to my already scrambled-egg looking balls.
