NRL Fantasy 2020 Part 27 - No really, Shibasaki was dropped!

Current plan based on TLT assumptions of Shiba being out and Crichton starting:

OUT: Walters, Shiba, Knight
IN: TTurbo, Crichton, Randall (Keeper, cow, cow)

Leaves me with no 2RF for the round, apparently I haven't learnt my lesson!

Future view on trades: Leilua & Rudolf ---> DFifi and cashie

Rotation will probably be a part of no reserve grade. May see a bit more of this with players starting for a few weeks then disappearing back to bench

Wrong Crichton. That'll be Angus back to the bench

I've got one trade locked in and another one most likely, just not sure who to sell Magoulias for. Also considering selling either Lomax or Brailey early to raise money for going after Cleary next week.

Team before trades:

Api
Haas, Carrigan
Lolo, Arrow, Lucy
Croft, Mann
Capewell, Lomax
Drinky, Papy, Hughes

Grant, E Katoa, BBrailey, Rudolf

JHop, Luai, Wiliame, Magoulias

$263k $339k ITB, but need more to get Cleary next week.

Definitely gonna do Hughes -> Turbo, was going to go Teddy but going Turbo makes it more likely that I can afford Cleary, plus Manly have just as good a draw as the Chooks do.

2nd trade is Magoulias out for either Randall, SCrichton (pending TLT) or chasing JTB.

If I do sell Lomax or Brailey early, it'll be to Best despite him being up against the Raiders this week. Then next week I would sell the other one to Cleary and move Mann to the bench.

What if Macca on bench?

Wonder if they break Ponga by putting him in the halves this week and leave hoy at fullback, if Pearce isn’t right this week.

Doubt it, surely they'll play Lino there, or even Watson with Macca/Randell playing hooker

Thought about this too. Matt johns said hoy could be the five eighth long term too.

Depending on Pearce and Watson injuries, hoy could hold his spot for a few weeks.

Noooooo

TLT could have several chances to change my plans quite frankly!

Watson is out a few weeks

Latrell's going to be > $500k next week unless he busts out a 60

Imagine if someone had told you pre round 1 that you could straight swap Lomax for Latrell after round 4!

What rounds are DPP added this year and is there anyone that comes to mind early that is in line for DPP?

Twal FRF/2RF

Has there been any word of him actually moving to centre or just speculation?

After R6, R12

Just speculation that he will shit the bed and Rabbits lose a couple in a row. I personally don't see him overtaking Burns/Roberts and I think Latrell will find his feet, get a bit fitter and kick on.

Also Will Hopoate is 515k and dropping fast

I won't be thinking about trading them in for a while though

Best plan of action for this team? I’ve got my own plan but want to see everyone’s thoughts

Friend
Horse Carrigan
Lucy Lolo Su’a
Moses Mann
Aubwell
Ponga Turbo Papy

Api Grant Katoa Drinkwater

Rudolf Luai Walters Williame

193k itb

First thought was to force teddy or cook in but trade out options seem minimal. I don’t want to waste trades but do want to be on the front foot after seeing that round as the landscape of the season changed significantly

Tbh I'd probably hold tight with no trades. All your cows have cash to make(except Walters) and there are no must have cheapies since you have CTR/WFB coverage with Wiliame

Anyone considering Burns?

430K and possibly back to his best. His first two games this year were a bit woeful but that could be down to him possibly getting that confidence back into his body and his game. Shown again on the weekend how he can break a tackle and make good meters. BE is 29 so could possibly wait one more week to see if it wasn’t a once off, also allowing your Lomax’s/wiliame’s to make a little more cash? Could be a keeper ctr for under 450K?

Don't mind it but after getting Burns'ed by him twice last year, I just can't go there.
