NRL Fantasy 2020 Part 28 - too many guns

These are my trades this week:
Shibasaki out - Capewell in
Walters out - S. Crichton in

Koroisau
Haas (c), Twal
Yeo, L. Leilua, E. Katoa
Moses, Mann
Capewell, S. Crichton
Turbo, Papenhuyzen, Drinkwater

B. Brailey, Grant, Carrigan, Taumalolo
Luai, Rudolf, JTB, Wiliame

I'm looping Luai & Rudolf, If Luai goes off vs Warriors I will take his score but if he scores 35 or less I'll swap Lolo & Rudolf.
I'm waiting a week on Taumalolo but if I was going to sell him it would be to McInnes.

I feel like I am a gun short of most teams I see, which gives that FOMO re trading out Lolo to bolster the side.

That said, I can't see Lolo missing more than 1 week. Green seemed to think it would only be one week, obviously nothing is set in stone and they need to wait and see, but Lolo did play most of the game with it.

It's surprisingly a more difficult decision than it should be.

Cowboys don't play until 7:30 Saturday so I might just see how my week is going and then pull the trigger on Lolo to McInnes/Twal if things are looking a bit dire. No doubt I'll be 6 cans in by that stage and the trade will be made..

I remember Lolo's injury & from memory it happened within the first 5 mins of the game. He started limping a bit & then seemed to run it off & he was fine. Maybe it impacted his performance in his first stint where he wasn't his usual self. But the fact he came back in his 2nd stint & played at his normal high level suggests he was sweet.

So sweet that he is already missing this week?

Did you skip over the word "suggests"

Its a weird one huh. Maybe Green is happy they are 2 wins 1 loss and figures he can give him the rest. Pure speculation here. Just need the old "if it was a final, he'd have played" line.

My team is short of guns and I don’t have the option of selling Lolo for more of them haha.

What a sorry state haha

I've suffered with bone bruises myself, it fucking hurts and Lolo is an absolute unit to carry. Severity matters which we don't know and only way to properly get over them is full rest.

I'm currently holding him, but I'm wavering

I blame Lolo's stupid beard for his injury. It's like when you don't wear your match day underpants then bad things happen.

Its been said, but we know that Cleary will be back next week and is not injured

Taumalolo might be back next week, or in 3 weeks, and may suffer from reduced workload when he does return. If you could guarantee me he'd start next week I'd keep him.
It is also cumulative effect of missing Cleary, just getting Ponga back, Aubbs named in 19, panic is setting in a little.

The community team overwhelmingly wants to keep him, so its not like there's more than a couple of rebels on here

Is there a way to block all posts around Aubs?


Lol Don't hate me, u know I'm a 95%er club member.

I can bring in Haas, Tedesco, Mofo and SCrichton, for Aubbs, Lolo, Walters, Knight

Faaarken hell looks like the ultimate fantasy present, just hard to refuse.

Slightly off topic but a bit on Tesi Niu

Keen as for him to debut. I think he'll find a way into our starting side sooner rather than later.

Who can resist a new fantasy player called Fanitesi Niu?

Interested in those who are punting Lolo - have you max traded every week (including plans to use all 4 this week)?

I was planning to bring in Tedesco, which meant a bit of jiggery-pokery with the rest of my team.
How about I bring him in for Taumalolo this week and then worry about getting 'Lolo back in 1-2 weeks when he's returning?

That way my cows all get 1-2 weeks extra to mature, and there may be other injuries etc. after this week.

  .... it sounds good to me .... so what have I missed?

Ok - I have decided that I'm going for it. As I laid out, I'm hoping he recovers and rests up for 2-3 weeks (one can only hope), during which time my cows can make enough money to give me a better look at things and, who knows, another gun may get an injury in the meantime which will facilitate an easier swap back in.

Obviously, if he just misses one week then I will probably regret it but I'm playing catch-up.

'Lolo - Teddy
Kamikamica - Drinkwater
Shiba - Capewell

Im doing the same, looping Rudolf if Luai doesnt pull out a big score.
Im happy to hold Taumalolo, but im old school! Not up to play with this trading guns for guns business ha ha

I thought Mattnz and me were extreme fringe last night with the Lolo out path

What's max trades I forget. I have 23 atm I think that's 1 saved?
