NRL Fantasy 2020 Part 19 - It's Thursday - Still time to ditch the duds thread

saw enough against the Broncs in what was quiet by his standards. The bloke is the best player in the game, in real life and fantasy

Thanks Green Machine! your posts last night inspired me to bite the bullet and get Friend out for LoLo.

Unfortunately I also swapped out Su’a over Stimson for Katoa.

Fortunately I stuck Stimson on the extended bench.....small mercies

Haha! I missed EKatoa last week so grabbed him leaving me an extra 120k in the bank

Good call. Really wish I'd done the same. I brought Katoa in, but at the expense of Musgrove. Musgrove has less to lose than Stimson (and in hindsight, far more to gain) and I should have kept him on. That said, couldn't have forecast Stimson getting hooked before the half hour mark. Man, what a dud.

Part of me was copying the last guy, but part of me named this thread for a reason. It's Thursday. Still plenty of time to ditch the rest of those duds. I for example didn't have any Bulldogs to ditch. My ditching decisions probably need to made in the next 19-21 hours.

Well done mate, I think you'll do fine there, could have been a lot worse. I'm trading Su'a too probably. He could still go well, but up against Fifita, he'll have to be the guy to go.

I got lucky this week and dumped Stimson because I couldn’t get Cleary in one swing. JMK just running overs currently but I’m watching closely

Captain Taumalolo and Drinkwater (thanks to a few on here convincing me) Good start to round

I've had a look at it MTB and can see where you completely fucked up, but I won't have a chance to correct it over the weekend, so if you can't get to it hit me up and I'll re-code your entire site early next week.

Mostly Totally Buggered now

Yep! Getting a bit tired of cleaning up after the bloke in fairness...

Well done mate! Due for some luck this year.

I went against my gut picking both of those two low/middle priced 2rf forwards tempted by the lure of big mins. Guess it just made the bench look better last week but unfortunately played out like I feared it would (guns and cow, guns and cows, cows with guns)

Anyway that’s what trades are for!!!!

Yeah I couldn’t face the thought of Su’a getting steamrolled this week.

I think you’re better getting hold of one of the cashies n the long run so go for it.

Cheers mate, would be nice to go on a decent run for a change, started quicker this year so hopefully can maintain

After Drinkwater's 52 does anyone know how much he will be worth next week?

Plug it into MTBs site mate

around $42,000 more than he is now

Got rid off stinkson and wakeham for Williams and katao so gotta take the good and the bad. Got 200k it for tolo next week

Hess down to 59. Stimson up to 11. No other major changes that I can see.

Nice. An extra 3k to work with next week. Thanks, Joe. You're a gem.

Nice when there’s no curveballs to a corrective action plan that makes sense!! Hard luck re Su’a/Stimson

I got very lucky in that Hess WAS to be my Tolo makeweight, not realising I could afford to do Stimson to Tolo. Someone sparked a thread about why 80min Hess is till better than X mins Stimson! Thanks again for that

Oh well, at least Rugby League is getting some international publicity https://amp.tmz.com/2020/03/19/australia-rugby-game-coronavirus-covid-19-ball-washer/?__twitter_impression=true

Ahhh bollocks, kept Stimson for one more week.

That ends next week
