NRL Fantasy 2020 Part 24 - We're back baby!

On another note great news came out of Souths this morning with Cameron Murray extending until the end of the 2025 season. Awesome news for us as he’s our future Captain.

For 22 years old he’s already reached such great heights as well.

Good news for the bunnies... the only thing now is for Bennett to play him at 13

Issue there is the Murray camp don’t want him permanently at 13 due to his size they’re worried he could have a shortened career like Sam did in the middle.

Personally I prefer him at 13.

I have ponga and Mann already. Probably wouldn’t be fair to all you guys if I complete the trifecta by bringing in yeo, a little known fantasy cheat code

Was it Flegler last year who started a handful of games last year and went off after 15 minutes?

Knowing my luck JTB will score 29 and Rudolf 45.

The theory on Warriors forum is Katoa will come on around 20 min mark and play the rest of the game

Have worked out I can pretty much get 2 keepers + Grant & Hopoate. Tossing up between the 'safer' option of Lolo + Teddy, or the slightly more POD option of Smith + DCE.

Upvote Lolo & Teddy, Downvote Smith & DCE

Would be the old Tevaga style role then, nice
Wonder if that means bad news for jtb then?

Is it worth taking a zero this week (Kennedy) if it means getting Taumalolo?

Considering these trades:

Stimson > Grant
Watkins > Capewell
Walters > Fogarty
Fifita > Taumalolo

16k left.

No WFB cover for Kennedy if I do these trades but I get Aubs back next week so I'll only lose 30 odd points this week probably.

i posted the 55 to 60 min theory yesterday for katoa - same as round 1 and 2 though, left edge.

Whats your thoughts on -
Walters/Kennedy, Musgrove, Fifita, Williams OUT!

Matterson, Capewell, Grant, Horse and 18K left. (40K short of Turbo instead of Horse)

Am I going to heavy the first week back? Should I be a bit more diligent?

I like it personally mate. Likely 2 keepers for their positions, a top cow prospect and an angry range with a point to prove and money to make

Walters or Kennedy a week early if they play would possibly be a touch of a waste but Walters won’t have the role to go up by much more than 40k and Kennedy will be waiting for moylan to (inevitably) get injured

It would mean Papalii going into the middle then, so still some danger to jtb minutes I think.

Could someone please take a quick look at my team set up in loophole thread just to confirm if it’s right setup

I'm not confident with any of the rookies this week so I think I'm going to hold Watkins and hold the trade and see how they all go and make a more informed decision next week. My trades at the moment are looking like;

Williams - Drinkwater
Knight - Horse
Fifita - Tolo

Gives me;

Koro
Haas Carrigan
Tolo Lucy Hess
Moses Mann
Lomax Shiba
Pappy Drinkwater Nofo

Horse Brailey Grant Luai

Katoa Rudolf Willy Watkins

Was going to go a cow and gun strategy but as I said not sold on the rookies yet. Knight and Williams can both fuck off and will look at a couple of middies that I think have the chance to not be an issue hanging in my team all year if it comes down to it. Drinkwater has a chance to be a cut price keeper at the back and he looks the goods. Horse will be a mainstay in the Raiders pack and has shown he can put up keeper like scores. He'll play origin this year I reckon. Tolo is a no brainer and will be captain this week over Haas.

Only 3K left and will see what the go is next week. Might play Katoa or Rudolf over Luai too.

is Britt a good option at 0.77 ppm at 2rf small sample size starting there but career ppm of 0.79 for a starting backrower seems quite tempting.

will be levi -> Britt

What are people doing with friend? I’m cashed up from my first 3 trades. Deciding on whether to cut friend and get smith (anyone under 895k)

I'm currently holding while he goes up a little and others are going down. Still trying different trade combos though and he could go.

I think he'll be a solid scorer mate. Nothing wrong with taking a punt on him. Can see him holding down a starting role and averaging pretty well. He's a goer.
