NRL Fantasy 2020 Part 18 - Ditch the duds thread

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.

The other players still need to self-isolate for 2 weeks coming over to Aus. If they don't travel before the weekend, that's 3 games

To what level does celebrity privilege extend? Hanks and Wilkins got their results almost immediately. Xerri got his the next morning.

Could they just test a player whose gotten off a flight to clear them and therefore not need a 14 day isolation?

It is weird because they were saying on the news it takes 5 days

(a) Stimson out - E. Katoa in or
(b) Stimson out - Guler in or
(c) make no trade, put Stimson in npr's & put JTB into the starting 17 from npr's

Cheers.

Carry on

a) Stimson is too expensive to be in NPRs

I don't really have any obvious trades. The guys I'd like to bring in are more expensive than the guys I'd like to trade out, and some of the swaps seem a little sideways

Is Musgrove to Katoa a wasted trade? That's probably the one I am closest to making

If I want to bring in Isaako, it means trading out Friend or Papenhuyzen. Not worth it is it.

Stimson to Drinkwater?
I believe Stimson will improve, but the extra WFB flexibility is a bonus.

Wanted to go Stimson + Musgrove > Katoa + Watkins

Let’s me move Wiliame to emg and have wfb cover
