NRL Fantasy 2020 Part 18 - Ditch the duds thread

Could be true, Guler has talent and a play-style to suit fantasy scoring, but not sure that assessment of our team is quite right. Bateman back in pushes one of Hors and Tapine into lock and the other to FR. The one going to FR MAY spend a little bit of time at lock also, but then that depends on whether we've included someone like Havili on the bench.  Sutton being out this week doesn't say a lot to me, I'm sure i remember him going from being out one week to being named at starting FR or lock the next. Also, as much of a dickhead as he tends to be, there is Hudson-Young due back in a few weeks also which adds to the complication in that pack. I'm not saying you're wrong, Emre is highly rated and I hope he does get some decent minutes because i like the look of him, just giving you more information to work with i guess.

Then Tevaga and Paasi are to come back, it still creates a logjam with Harris, Curran, Katoa, Ipap and Blair probably considered edges and Burr, LAM, Paasi, Tevaga, Ipap and Blair considered middles.

Players like Katoa go well but for one reason or another they are often sent back to reserve grade to preserve their bodies and work on their game a bit. Don't see him lasting past another 2 weeks.

Problems are:


Bench - Ese'ese

NPR - Musgrove

CTR - Wiliame

FLB - Aekins

No CTR/FLB cover on bench. Happy to sit on Musgrove and Wiliame because they are base price and will jag one good score at some stage. Minutes will come for Musgrove.

So was thinking:

Ese'ese to Horsburgh
Aekins to Fuimoano moving Wiliame to Fullback.

Gain a short term keeper for at least 4 weeks and a good score (hopefully) for 1 week. Reassess next week as NRL may be postponed anyway.

Any help would be great.

Haven't seen anything certain on Glenn.

Hoppa is more of a middle. Wouldnt be surprised to see Bullemor play plenty of edge.

Are development players allowed to start over a fit top 30 player?

MTB mate.. What are your thoughts on Flegler? Will these scores continue? Will Ofa take that spot back? You believe Joey Johns when he says Lodge due back R5?

my tv broke wrote:

I'm pretty confident Flegler will keep starting when Ofa comes back. Ofa might eat into minutes somewhat though.

Don't know what the deal is with Lodge. Rnd 5 isnt far off 2 months since the injury and the original estimate was 2 to 3 months, so not too far fetched. You would think the Broncos would play it pretty safe though.

Are Curran, Paasi, Tevaga in Australia???

If not then his spot on the edge is good as gold.

Alright then.. Flegler it is.. Will make some nice cash for now and hopefully can keep his BE low enough to ride a week or two on the bench when that time comes.

id consider ese ese to katoa and aekins to isaako

I am flicking Williams to pay for Aekins upgrade. Williams to Guler (-6 BE) allows me to get Drinkwater for Aekins, and free up and generate some cash.

My other players are more likely potential Guns or money Makers (barring Stimson) who I don't get enough money from.

So, it is a team by team assessment and for me he makes way. Only other players who are above 400k are;
Koro, Friend, Brailey, Haas, Knight, Carrigan, Lucy, DFifi, Cleary, Moses and Pap and I'm not moving any of them. Williams is the weakest link, and you know what that means.

While we are here I probably say the following Cool Runnings quotes once a month:
"How did it go!? How did it go!? It went like this..."
"I am feeling very Olympic today"
"Zanka man, ya dead?"
