NRL Fantasy 2020 part 21 - The one with all the missing TBs

The comp is meant to restart on May 28, but we don't know which teams are playing, what stadiums they are playing in, and how long the comp will go for. Then the wait for team lists will be as bad, or worse, than the wait for round 1.

Not even thinking about trades until we know some of that (also knowing how many trades we'll have is a crucial piece of information to have before planning can start)

Until then, back to 2006 I go

They just have to turn off the limiting of trades.

So it raises a more interesting question. Of your 30-32 trades you have left now, how many would you invest in round 3?

I’m thinking about 6;

-Horse
-Hess
-Kennedy
-Musgrove
-Watkins


Plus probably L.Leilua to raise funds (as the above are all pretty cheap), and plus Lucy will likely be the size of 2 houses after a lockdown

Who would you be trading in?

As far as I'm concerned the 2020 season may as well be fourteen years into the future. I'm not giving it a thought until it's concrete and we're a week away from a confirmed restart.

Isaako for Kennedy
Grant for my bench
Conor Watson somewhere


Haven’t got too much deeper than that! Also not sure I’d want to get rid of horse. Still has a bit of cash to make and points to score if we’re still without Bateman

Same for me. Surprised to say, I'm not really missing it to be honest.

Was super keen for magic round tho

Actually I went through my team last night & made changes based on the unlimited trades scenario if it happens:
Moses out - Cleary in (no Mahoney affects their attack)
Papenhuyzen out - Isaako in (Broncos play Titans round 3)
Watikins out - Turbo in via Shibasaki (Watkins gone & Manly play Warriors round 3)
L. Knight out - Yeo in (Knight crap mins & Yeo 80 minute beast mainly at lock)
JTB out - H. Grant in
Aubusson out - B. Best in (with J. Morris now there & Cordner back will Aubs get 80 mins with Angus also a factor. The cash allows the Turbo purchase)

Also depending on TLT my players that are 50/50 are E. Katoa & B. Walters.

Titans Coach Justin Holbrook has confirmed that AJ Brimson is unlikely to be fit when season resumes due to back injury

This.

All i can say is thank god Vlandy's is running the show and organising the restart of the comp, could you imagine if Beattie was still in charge, he would be putting political spin on everything and we would be getting no where.

Really not a Vlandys fan myself. Dude is shady AF.

I feel he’s shady but will get results.

@MTB are you able to remove the phantom scores for some players on your site for the last few rounds that haven't happened yet?

Reckon they are only there to give you something different to look at.

I was hoping they were accurate predictions we could use.

I've heard of a great solution for the NRL to get their season restarted.

They just need to play on school ovals during school hours. No risk of infection! Winning!

The best solution is relocating the comp to NZ. Let the Aussie boys play in the winter rain, mud & cold haha. They would love that.

The players are the biggest risk to restarting NRL this season https://www.foxsports.com.au/nrl/nrl-premiership/nrl-2020-latrell-mitchell-josh-addocarr-caught-breaking-covid19-rules-rabbitohs-storm-rugby-league/news-story/37534a516fdf690adbbbf26a1f2f46b4

Well at least we know Souffs and Storm aren’t secretly training as a group

Doing it is one thing--naughty boys, spanks all round. But to have the whole country talking about it because you yourself posted the pics to social media... I couldn't burn my brain with acid enough for me to be able to comprehend that level of stupidity.

It was safe he injected disinfectant before going. He's that level of stupid.

Doing it is not 1 thing. It's selfish to the extreme, it puts the whole competition at risk. They need to be quarantined for 14 days and miss the May 4 training start day and not come back till all clear.
