NRL Fantasy 2020 Part 18 - Ditch the duds thread

Flegler seems to have stepped straight into Lodge's 56avg minutes a game role. Heard on the Sunday footy show that Joey Johns spoke to Lodge the other day and he said he should be sweet for R5. Flegler made 47 on tackles, TB's and MG. No MT and no Errors. So I think his floor is definitely around 45, meaning if he averaged 45 over the next 3 rounds he will make another 118K before R5... Is it worth it?? With player prices being higher this year, would the usual 150K trade worth be bumped to something more like 175K?

One thing I noticed with Guler is he had 1 try, 1ta, 1lb and 1 lba. Mind you without these stats he still would've got a handy 37. Which would still net him another 134K over the next 3 weeks alone with anything more even better. I think I am sold on going Stimson to Guler.. Just gotta work out if Musgrove to Flegler is worth it.

Is Guler a worry with the troops set to return? Sutton and Bateman?

Maybe Guler could be set for a starting spot and more mins soon?

Didn't see the game but he must have played pretty well?  Maybe Sticky left him on longer if he was having such an impact?

Stimson was okay, but got bugger all ball.

I'm willing to back Guler in, need to decide whether it's worth selling Friend to Hughes to facilitate the trade (I'm 1k short of going Tuala directly to Guler, and on the other hand, I really rate Hughes and don't think Friend will score much more than he did with Verrills taking minutes off him)

A silly part of me is hoping Stimson gets benched for Britt to make the decision on trading him easier.

Yeah its pretty shitty, although at the same time, perhaps they dint understand the implications of leaving.

Initially there were a number of players that said they wanted to go home after their round 2 commitment, now it looks like they will stay for as long as it takes.

It is a tough one though, the NRL have fucked this up so badly they are now in a spot where they have to compromise the lives of a whole bunch of people and the Warriors are worst affected. Most of these guys have to look after and support far more than most too, so the financial pressure will be massive, but at the same time, the pressure to be home will also be massive - Rock and a hard place huh!!

Best thing the Warriors players can do is pledge their commitment to the game and hopefully their family members can keep the noise to a minimum on social media.

There's a decent chance they'll get to go home soon anyway, but if the comp manages to stay running for multiple weeks they can be remembered for

a) that Warriors team that rode it out on the road and showed commitment (regardless of results)

b) that Warriors team that took off home after a 6 month break and 1 game

If going for option b, will they even get paid for the season? What are the implications for next year and beyond's contract?

Players talk about wanting to play every game and get as many minutes as possible, now's a good time to show it.

I think they'll earn a great deal of respect in the rl community if their attitude is let's just suck it up and do what we've gotta do.

THIS!!! Britt to awkwardly priced to consider also. Stimson just doesn't seem to get his hands on the ball enough with a lot of ball going behind him or stopping at his half. He literally stole a pass headed for Lewis just so he could get a run. I was in the hold camp this week but I think Cows will looks to bounce back with a big showing and Dogs could be in for a world of hurt... plus I don't want to miss Guler. I feel he could be a big player in the Raiders pack this year.

Quick one for you

TU: Hold Stimson
TD: Trade for Guler (+80k)

Comment for another suggestion. Wish I could go to Flegler but short by $9k.

Who would you get rid of for Flegler?

TU - Levi
TD - Stimson

11 ELIESA KATOA

Looks like a good buy to me

Maybe I can go Musgrove to Katoa and Stimson to Guler leaving 150K+ in my bank and two cash making players.

Yep. Might jump off Musgrove and jump all over EK11.

Looking at stats he must've done a lot in his 52 minutes. I wonder if he possibly started on the bench due to 1st NRL game and what not. He has had a taste and is ready for 80 minutes??

Stimson to Katoa easy peasy

Stimson (2RF) + Musgrove (FRF)

TRADE TO

Katoa (2RF) + Guler (FRF)

152K in the bank and hopefully sit back for a couple weeks while the money rolls in.

Bench now Brailey, Leilua, Walters, Katoa/Guler

I was thinking this too but pretty hesitant to bring in a Warrior at this stage.

Really happy i started with Katoa but how long will it last? So many question marks around warriors players
