Sportsdeck VSDT 2020 Part 1

My halves are Cleary, Croft, Taylor and Walters. So I'll just play Croft and Taylor, wait for Cleary and hope Walters can make a few dollars over the next couple of weeks.
Trades are,
Stimpson to Katoa
Williams to J. Hopoate
Watkins to Capwell
Friend to McInnes
84K ITB

Have to decide my last 2 reserves out of Tapine, Katoa, Hopoate and Suli?

Brought in horse, hoppa, yeo and twal for fusi, Fifita, knight and arrow. All good trades but not sure if the best trades. I think I could drive myself nuts so I’ll use the lessons learned from 06 and stick with this.

Could mess around with my halves/wfb to get Turpin in, but then I'd have to play either him or Luai - and even with Cleary out I'm not super keen on that. Although if I did trade Kennedy to him (via Drinky) then I wouldn't have to play both Lomax and Mann. Hmm. Might just hold the 4th trade and roll with what I've got. Bring on the games!

Koro Friend
Haas Twal Horse (Rudolf)
Lolo (c) Carrigan Leilua Katoa Hess (Hopo)
Moses Drinky (Luai Walters)
Yeo Shiba (Fuimaono Williame)
Pap Mann Lomax (Kennedy Ponga)

Ended up pulling the trigger on Turpin for Cleary

Working out well so far, just need to make sure as best i can I am free for Brailey+Luai/Williams to Grant+Cleary in 2 weeks

less good is that I brought in Hopoate for cash and played him for his 19 points. The missed tackle penalties here killed his score

Still got a trade up my sleeve for this round as well, to upgrade Jack Williams or Zane Musgrove
Thinking of bringing Twal in

Welcome back on here everyone. Hope you and your family are all well after the Coronavirus break.

Seems i accidently left the reserve on Aubusson so now i will be copping an AE (probably Walters or Fuimaono's low bench minutes score) there instead of what was meant to be Brailey's score. Oops

I better get the head screwed back on. Totally forgot about Turpin being available in the halves. With McCullough gone now an 80 minute hooker available in the halves is certainly gold on here. Will have to look into that next round if no bench hooker named.

bugger, forgot to pull the trigger on friend -> brailey last night. friend's points are good, but going to regret missing on that cash from brailey's first price rise. plus missing the cash out means I can't upgrade Williams to a gun.

current team:

Koro Friend
Haas Knight Musgrove JTB
Lolo Carrigan Flegler Katoa Williams Su'a
Moses Williams Cleary Walters
Yeo Mann Fuimaono Aubs
Tedesco Drinkwater Hampton Ponga Wiliame

now thinking Musgrove to Rudolf, Williams to Leilua this afternoon. Knight and Walters on the chopping block for next week.

1,000 exactly pre-updates, still beaten by Trajan H2H

1,111 from West End Warriors best i can see in my leagues. Quite a few 4 figure scores.

1028 with Taupau's 2nd half points to come.
Winning three fantasy leagues as long as Tommy T doesn't score another 69 points this half. It's on the cards.

974 here, lots of points on the bench. 1179 top I can see

that's me. up to 1,119 now - very happy with that.

1079 including Hopoate's 19 as an AE for Shiba

Dropped 16 ranks to 23 with my 1,007

Can see ST and jelejasof up there in the rankings, well done guys (and anyone who I missed)

NRLFF is the top league, with No Worries and Bullbender in spots 2 and 3

Anyone grabbing Grant a week early for points over Brailey?

Considering it

Over next 2 weeks probably want Grant, McInnes, Cleary.

So probably need to get McInnes or Grant in this week.
But don't have Teddy or Trbo either, so have to work out who is the most urgent

Jumped 4 places to 4th! The air is thin up here

McInnes available at 2RF is a nice saving grace. Think I'll wait a week and go Brailey>Grant + McInnes into second row

BEs

(as 3 round average and season average are the same for almost everyone have just included 1 column here) Didn't play with the MN here, so it could be overstating BEs

Why hold off pulling the trigger on Brailey - Grant ? Grant 's going to out score him and there's no $$$ in it ?

Brailey due another 50k in price rises this week, Grant has another week

Brailey has a negative BE, there may not be points, but there is definite $$ in holding off
