NRL Fantasy 2020 Part 23 - Trade-a-palooza

If you want to pick the top 3 total points scorers for 2RF this year

Tolo is a clear favourite. I'd probably put JTrbo in 2nd spot, and 3rd place Matterson is as good a shout as any (Arrow, Murray would be contenders, maybe Nathan Brown as an outside shot)

If you can bring in a keeper level player, in any position, without killing the rest of your team to do so, then you should do it.

If you already have, or can't afford Taumalolo, Matterson is a good shout for keeper 2RF to bring in.

Reckon Bateman is going to suffer 2nd year syndrome, or did you just forget about him

Murray way off the pace at the moment. Bateman up there. Tevaga when he returns from injury.

Was wondering what I might do if...

Kennedy named in the backs.
Grant named at hooker.
Walters named on the bench.
Katoa named in the 2nd row.

and if.....

Horsburgh named at lock.

Just forgot (was only looking at players who had played so far when I was coming up with my list)

Yeah I’m pretty sure my big decision this week will be what 2RF/WFB combo to bring in. Gonna be worried either way

I'm not sure if this was aimed at me for posting my team and trades just above, but I literally just logged back in for the first time since the end of round 2 now while sitting here bored at work. Came up with those trades in 5 minutes and even though I'm in your boat as to there is no point worrying until at least team lists and beyond in relation to trades, I wanted to see what I could do and if they will stick or I change come team lists.

Good trades. Two duds and an injury out for an uber gun, solid cash cow and cheapie.

Thanks mate. yeah, I like them, I hope they can stick come team lists. Gives decent team balance too.

Of course....

Winger Corey Thompson, prop Zane Musgrove and utility Michael Chee-Kam have all missed the cut for the Wests Tigers showdown with Cronulla. Thomspon was expected to win a place on the wing with Adam Doueihi moving into the no.1 jumper but Robert Jennings and David Nofoaluma will be the Tigers flyers. Musgrove and Chee-Kam are both tipped to miss out on the Michael Maguire’s final 17 come Saturday.

No, was multiple people, no target

I was just answering the lads question, not overly worried that it will happen

I may go all out and end up with this after 4 trades, no origin has changed my strategy a bit. Guns & Cows FTW

Koro
Haas, Carrigan
Taumalolo, Leilua, Katoa
Moses, DCE
Shiba, Lomax
Papenhuyzen, Drinkwater, Isaako

Friend, Brailey, Grant, Mann
Williame, Rudolf, Fogarty, Luai

Hearing @sydneyroosters Sio Suia Taukeiaho is in serious doubt due to injury for derby v @SSFCRABBITOHS @telegraph_sport @SuperCoachNRL

Jennings over Thompson seems silly. Doueihi over Thompson seems even more silly.

Very similar to mine, very nice.

Actually, could potentially only have 3 players different to my team lol.

Reckon he's going to suffer pissed off club fucked over by his manager syndrome

If Musgrove can't even crack the 17 I'll probably trade him and keep one of my low break even guys like Kennedy or Walters for a week and see what happens.
