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

Good to see Fifita finally get his deserved score, up 10 to 58.

Sitting on 652/11C so should end up with a decent score.

I started with Burns. Happy to say I realised the error after last week and traded him out.

He's fkd me like Kerrod Holland last year.

Pretty sure my season is tanked with Stimson still in my squad lol fantasy gods save me!!!

Despite Haas getting a bit of a low-ish score, still pretty happy. All my players have scored 50 or above so far - 457/7(c)

Of course it just makes my next week's trades confusing as hell though

Death riding Haas would be a lot more fun if my captain would stop scoring in the 40s

Ouch that's rough!

My mate lost $500 because Holmes didn't kick the ball dead and let the Dogs score.

If we're swapping 'bad beat' stories .... I had last nights Dragons/Panthers game for 61+ total points .... 28-32

fuck burns.... the end.

At least Stimson looks like he's trying fk sake lol

Time to make some bold moves now. Season is pretty cooked as of now with no Cleary or VT (Vaii Taumalolo) but I know some here who have managed miracles.

2nd trade, going Williams to Watkins to at least put something decent in my CTRs next to Burns and throw Fusitua in Emg as cover. Freed up $377k to spend.

Next Week Burns is definitely out. Stimson may stay if I can't afford to do my next move, which isn't too bad because he can be Emg and he's not leaking cash too quickly. But next week:

Burns -> Fuimaono
Stimson -> Cleary

I can manage that if the prices adjust the way I predict. Fuimaono sures up CTR and Cleary improves my 17 scoring.

If I'm short, the worse of Friend, JMK or Levi get the punt. They might anyway just to facilitate VT.

Fuck it

Fuimaono will be back to bench next week when Sims is back mate

Went with captain Cook 2 weeks in a row. Didn't expect Lolo to be playing nearly 80 minutes

Any sharks tragics know the deal with Dugan on the extended bench?

6/345 (c). I feel my trades this week were abit sideways and a waste, shouldn't have been chasing last weeks scores (Wiliame > Watkins & Su'A > Katoa). Hopefully someone like Tommy Turbo can pull out a 100 an get me back on track

Woops. Well Fus back to CTR and Burns to any cashies

Well playing Isaako over Lomax was a smart move
Flegler still looking good, I may need to bring him in after all.

Well Lolo captainers got one over on us Haas captainers this week, and I was a bee's dick away from grabbing Flegler, and sold Su'a, but still hard to be too disappointed when all of your 17 are 50+. Black Widow looking the goods too

I've got burns too. He looks alright but obviously being benched yesterday and not as many sideways slapsies runs hurt. Who would you trade him too if you had the money to go one of the decent centres? I'm almost thinking I'll hold him for a couple of weeks and bring in a fallen gun ctr.

Fui will be on the bench behind tariq and friz. Given his price (252k ATM) though he still might be worth bringing in if the dragons clearly say they're looking at giving friz some time in the middle to accommodate Fui.

My issue with Burns apart from the shit scores is he's leaking cash. I made the mistake of holding too long last year. Burns honestly doesn't look like he's making any effort, and I think the injuries have put him down. He has to go.

Marsters looks like the safest bet tbh. Get what you pay for essentially. I'm bringing in Watkins vs the Warriors (still a diehard fan) and hope he builds value.

Yup, got blinded by Fui's role forgetting about the rest of the team. Fus will come back to CTR if needed. But I gotta get cash and bring in Cleary or VT lol

I got Flegler, becuase I specifically needed a FRF, and obviously that worked out well. But I don’t think I’d be looking at him next week. Seems like chasing scores, bringing in another middle with some questions about his minutes going forward.

I think burns will be dropped next week with Mitchell back in the centres

I’ve gone captain Smith over Lolo for same reason. Didn’t expect that many minutes against the Dogs at all
