NRL Fantasy 2021 Part 91 times out of ten, Fifita scores that try

Purchasing trades with points would ruin H2H leagues as players focused solely on H2H could make as many trades as they want to each round as they wouldn't be worried about their overall score.

Purchasing trades with real money would be the worst thing they could do as you have to be almost perfect with trades to win the comp and it would make it almost impossible to compete with the top players if you have less trades.

The only system that I think would work and be fair is purchasing trades from your salary for example you could trade a 800k player for a 500k player plus 1 trade.

In my opinion the most simple and logical solution is to increase trades and make squads larger so you have more players for when injuries strike.

I think that the limited trades is half the strategy in the fantasy. The winner of my H2H comp held a lot of players that we on here were so quick to trade away and got rewarded for conserving his trades. I think the squad size is good as it is and I think the number of trades is fine and no more than 4 trades should be added

Could one of you lovely people post a link to the Fantasy survey.

Well they wouldn't be able to do it every round, as you still need to win enough games to make the finals. But its still true that the ability to have multiple wildcards during the season would effectively ruin H2H competition.

Personally I'd prefer it if they moved H2H competition to draft, and left overall competition for overall players, but I understand I'm in the minority.

Well it depends if they would subtract the points from the upcoming round or just off your overall score. I thought it would be overall score and that would lead to the issues I was eluding to

I like the idea of 2-3 wildcard trades so that you can stick to a trade plan even if you have a couple of injuries or increasing squad size so you have more cover. Both would be too much but one or the other wouldn't break anything.

Fogarty to raiders is official. 3 year deal.

I agree with this. Would be good to have an extra trade in a round, when you think you really need it.

Meanwhile Souths have extended Mark Nicholls’ contract by two years. So much for only offering one year extensions to players over 30…

Similar to Walker, a late bloomer with less injuries and NRL games under their belt than Renyolds. Plodded around in ressies for ages.

Te Maire Martin returning to league with a train'n'trial at Broncos (technically with Wynnum I believe but will train with broncos in pre-season)

I like the idea maybe 2 uses a year of a loan-and-swap.

For a set period, like 4 games, you can loan out your player and (for a same or lesser value) swap someone else in. The trade would automatically rubberband at 4 weeks, and you'd keep the earnings difference (i.e. sell price for both minus buy price for both).

Really handy for sitting out a suspension and bringing in a short-term replacement, and has the benefit of being pretty similar to what we've seen clubs do.

The challenge would be in the negative earnings hit - could leave some managers with negative kitty if the bet goes wrong. But that's ok - they just have to trade Murray for Oates and don't get full vig.

Gos to the Dragons about to be announced. The trap is set.

A joke hey.

Ever thought there was more involved to Reynolds going to the Broncos?
