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

My favourite part of this shit show was when Cartwright's partner posted a picture of their healthy kids and claimed the 'proof was in the pudding', completely missing the fact that advances in medical science and a comprehensive vaccination program have allowed a situation where thousands of aussie kids don't die each year of polio, diphtheria, typhoid, cholera, mumps, rubella, measles, whooping cough etc regardless of whether their parents are idiots or not.
.

My favourite part was where she compared herself to Anne Frank.

Looks like I’ll be trading out Levi, Williams, Stimson, and Walters.

Can bring in Watson, Tevaga, Magoulias, and Grant (TLT pending of course)

Actually taking look beyond headline; medical reasons is only exemption and excludes personal/ethical reasons as excuse

No wonder the draw is taking so long, probably working out Canberra not playing any away games in QLD

+Manly and as I said, 14 others yet unannounced.

Oh shoot, hold on that leaves me short a WFB with Ponga out hmmmmm

Definite outs right now are Watkins and DFif. Beyond that I have a handful of players with question marks around them and/or aren’t performing. I’d like to punt Williams, Knight, Levi in the next two weeks
Walters still has a -1 BE. He just needs some minutes off the bench and he can be milked a little more. I’d like to think EKatoa is not a sell as he’d have a spot in the team. Even if it’s off the bench he’ll get solid minutes, -11 BE. JTB I’m not so sure. You’d think Rudolf is sweet.

Grant definitely coming in. Lolo for DFif too. Other trade ins dependant on who I end up punting and team lists

I think I read 2 of the guys who hadn't got the vaccine (Taupau and Peats maybe?) were doing so because of previous adverse reactions - which would probably count as justifiable exception (although wherever I read that also implied that they were going to get the vaccine later)

If Peachey gets Carty's 2RF spot, I would be tempted to put him in my CTRs to replace Watkins.

Peats tweeted the other day that he had a bad reaction in 2012, he then said he had no idea it would be such a big drama so he contacted Titans and went and got the shot later that day.

Without origin period to navigate, one or two great PODs at the resumption would give a boost over the rest of the comp

Only two real opportunities to make big ground now imo. Nailing a few picks/trades at the resumption, and having a few up your sleeve (and a bit of luck) in the last month.

Peats got the shot and from what Taupau said it’s sounds like he’ll take it if he has to. But if QLD are making exemptions for medical reasons he should be fine

Fox Sports predicted teams, a few clear things missing like Rapana ahead of Simonsson.

With Roberts out I would expect Latrell to play center and AJ at fullback, unless Latrell got really fit over the break.

They confirm Moylan still injured news with Kennedy expected to retain his spot

One less player to worry about in Kennedy

Need to decide between Watson and Tevaga, can only afford one with my current trade strat (all the guys I'm selling are cheapies and mids, I started with Arrow over DFifi so no cashout there).

Pros of Tevaga: Probably scores more points overall and better job security

Pros of Watson: Costs 70k less and is available at HLF which is weaker than 2RF or HOK

I want to see Watsons minutes with Randall on the bench, if he gets 50 minutes he isnt such a good trade in.

4 trades now available on app


Tinker...

Not sure about you lads but I’ve opened up to 26 trades

How many should you have?

26 for me too which is correct, with 2 trades used after round 1
