NRL Fantasy 2020 Part 18 - Ditch the duds thread

For reals though, Williams and Hughes both looked good. But maybe their high tackle counts look unsustainable for halves. Williams won’t get two line breaks every week and Hughes won’t get two try assists. I think Hughes looked better of the two because his unexpected component was more kick metres than Munster, and if he continues being the dominant kicker, it’s a +10 point boost. I am going to give them both another week to see if it’s repeatable though, because if those stats dry up and tackle counts reduce, they may still regress to being only slightly below value

I would probably assume that if they were to bow out of the comp the NRL would more than likely impose some form of financial ramificiations* and I think the Warriors head office know they probably can't afford that and would most likely fold from the NRL if that were to happen.... making way for a Perth or Central QLD team to come into the mix.

*I have no idea what the financial ramifications of them bowing out will be but I assume there would be some. They can't not play and get paid the same amount of money that the teams that are still playing are getting paid.

7 missed tackles obviously the killer, I didn't watch him closely enough to see how much of that was David Fifita

I don't have him, but I'd stick with him another week.

Nah, some of the reserve graders stayed there and joined them.

A) overachieved in their scoring and are actually looking worse than everyone else is thinking or
B) slightly unders for their hoped scoring but you expect they will come right (like Twal last year)

For me:
A) Lomax - won’t be getting 2 try saves (12 points) and a gifted try every week. Worst running meters of any fullback in the comp by a mile. Overachieved this week for scoring, a sell despite his reasonable score. Pleased I don’t have him

B) Hess - got 80 mins, won’t be trying to Mark David Fifita every week, this week plays the bulldogs. Is he against that chump Stimson? Hold for a good score this week.
Jmk- got 80 minutes, should have had a try assist and lba if Elliott didn’t screw it up. First game back from major surgery and still wasn’t subbed by the coach. Hold

Trade targets would probably be Guler for $ itb + cash generation, or Horsburgh for good points + cash gen. Obviously wary of returning Raiders in the coming weeks - assuming comp continues as normal

Am holding for now. Potentially a chance Verrils drops off when all the troops are back?

Only problem is that it would bump my bronco count to 5 along with Haas, Carrigan and Fifita.

Anyone in a similar situation?

I'm on 4 broncos after bringing Flegler in for Ese'ese. I was tempted by Horsburgh, but I think Flegler can make a similar amount of $$$ for cheaper.

Do you already have Flegler? Feel like these are the type of players I don't grab due to JS and output concerns but end up going well and launching Top teams even further from me :/
