NRL Fantasy 2020 part 22 - The one where we all come back

Fark Moi - Here are my trade outs in order of value:

OUT: Fifita, Walters?, E.Katoa?, Kennedy, Rudolf?
391K in the bank.

Overall rank is 202 so not sure if I should keep trying or just let the season get away?

To be honest, based on injuries etc. Fifita is the only sell in my team. Will have to wait for TLT to determine who the other trade outs are. Any cash cows we see being available once footy returns?

Article on Lodge on Broncos site this morning - says he will be playing round 3 if all boxes are ticked, but they won't rush it. Reckons its all good and no pain though.

Only round 2 man, overall position doesn't matter too much right now. At this stage everyone is very bunched.

With any luck Katoa has done enough to keep the 2rf spot but with Tevaga back they might move Blair back out to 2nd row...

Grant will be a must have cheapie.

You are looking too hard for players to trade out if they are your biggest issues. What is your team currently?

Fifita looks to be a trade out. Probably Walters too

No point speculating on Katoa, Kennedy, Rudolf at the moment

Pity we don't get trials before comp restarts to have a look at things.

First look for me today 

Fifita and Watkins have to go. Watkins is a pain as I hate trading at CTR. I could just throw Willame in there from my NPR then cash out Watkins. 8 trades over 2 rounds is ok for not having cover I think.

Quite a few players with question marks. Katoa, Williams, Levi, Walters etc. A heap depends on TLT and build up chat. I'd like to bank a sneaky trade but it looks likey I need all 4 in r3.

You will play 16 if Kennedy doesnt play?

Tough call I think. Grant, Magoulias(if starting lock) and Watson are all significantly under priced for their out put. With the funds already set to be used for Tevaga I would be reliant on a very cheap WFB(or CTR) who might only put up 15-20 points. Another alternative is grabbing Turbo instead of Watson, although that scores me points in the short term it means I need to burn extra trades in round 4

Wonder what the dragons plan is with McInnes/Luke. Assuming McInnes is fit for R3. From memory, in preseason there was talk McInnes will be moving to lock at some stage during games

With only 26 trades (assuming you used 2 after round 1) there is no room to be trading in many guys who have limited job security like that. You'd want to be sure of making some cash - wasting 2 trades bringing a guy in and out over a few weeks for $50k is just a waste of limited trades

Agree. Need to bring in guys you can hold for several weeks to get a big cash out without wasting trades, to get to a final team asap.

Could be decent short-term cow (-1 BE) as should still have starting spot while TPJ is suspended and Fifita injured unless they play one of their middle forwards on an edge

nrl.com team forecast has Carrigan on the edge with both Lodge and Offa starting. Surprised to see Hopoate in 29% of teams already.

Is this for real?

haha.. they're funny.

Carrigan is good enough to be starting lock for Qld this year at a push. Would be a waste moving him to edge

NRL.com also though Keegan Hipgrave would play edge for GCT... while elsewhere reporting how he still needed clearance for contact training from a neurologist. It's all back of the envelope stuff, any of us could put together teams with similar insight.

You are really well placed. Nice to be able to save trades now, as they will be really valuable back end of the season

Difi > Bateman?

I think Tevega and Watson are better value, plus you would want to watch Bateman back from injury for atleast 1 week
