NRL Fantasy 2020 Part 23 - Trade-a-palooza

Evening all. Looks like I’ll have to go Wakeham to Fogarty now. I don’t know why I bother picking any dogs players. Even playing well they are likely to get dropped. Anyway, would you go horse over Twal?

Can we give you an answer to that tomorrow evening?

My gut feel is that the Cogger news is not correct.

Ponga signing a 5 year extension for $1.1M/year

Hmm, who to play as my 2nd half?

No problem. No doubt I’ll still be reversing trades for some time yet. Gees Isaako looks like a good price too!

If Walters gets named on the bench, no doubt he’s ahead of Reynolds, is he worth a 1 week stay of execution? I can always sell him next week.

Gut feeling.. don't think either one will be in the 17 come Saturday

McCullough said today that he will play whatever the coach wants from him, 40 or 50 minutes.

Great news for him, the Knights and the NRL as a whole.

I'm a bit on the fence of the timing of an announcement like this though. So many people have lost jobs or are on reduced pay packet.

Its straight after Vlandy confirming that salary cap won't drop. Likely to see a number of key signings following that news.

I went with Luai. Although I have Mann in my 17 as well

I have mentioned this several times but my personal opinion is that V'Landys is not going to be good for the game and is only there for the short term for his own personal goals, whatever they may be.

I think next to no chance they gamble Grant is 100% fine for 80mins

Realise you’re the fan there but from the season start I saw, I think Walters is nailed on for 14, if not 9 with Grant 14 for week 1 (but playing more minutes)

I reckon otherwise. If R3 happened straight after R2 when trade just went through I would agree but been training together with squad for 3-4 weeks. Grant out and out HOK and Walters only makeshift and given importance of the position, especially with shortened season, I think they’ll be giving Grant close to 80

Wow Eels play 5 games in a row at Bankwest

Tevaga is targeting a return as early as 2 weeks away https://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/league/warriors/300020330/jazz-tevaga-targets-early-return-from-injury-with-confirmation-knee-complaint-not-as-bad-as-first-thought

Hoping TLT brings a few positional changes to mix things up a bit, teams all very similar.
