NRL Fantasy 2020 Part 28 - too many guns

Who would you guys go for out of Paix and Clark? If Turps is indeed out a month, Paix seems a safer bet but his QCup stats don't look great.

Just some thoughts working out who might be in my final 2RF if I trade Taumalolo out and can't get him back in.

Currently best 3 2RFs (by total, not average) are
Yeo, Taumalolo, Frizell

Twal would be 3rd and is likely to get 2RF in 3 weeks time
Fifita and Capewell are 1st and 4th on averages.

Lets put Capewell in the backline and assume that currently best 2RF is 3 of
Yeo, Taumalolo, Frizell, Fifita, Twal

How realisitic is that they will remain the top 5 until seasons end?

Others averaging over 50
Boyd Cordner
Tevita Pangai Junior
Ryan Matterson
Jai Arrow
Brodie Jones
James Fisher-Harris
Luciano Leilua
Patrick Carrigan
Angus Crichton
Josh McGuire
Tohu Harris
Eliesa Katoa
Curtis Sironen

If they maintain that, these guys could be viable substitutes for final team

Plus guys just outside 50 average at the moment like Murray, JTrbo, Kikau

I think ideally I would like Taumalolo, Jtrbo + 1 other, with Carrigan possibly in 14 (and 15,16,17 taken up by hookers)

If you can get someone who averages within 5 points of Lolo, you probably won't miss much long term (if Lolo misses 2 weeks, and you can replace Lolo with a 40 point scorer should you hold him)

If Lolo misses 1 week and goes straight to 65 averages on his return then holding him wul dbe a tough strategy to beat.

Not really a massive point to this thread other than putting down some names in writing to help me with my thoughts

I think Clark has at least 3 weeks in him.
This week Titans against Tigers is a winnable game and surely won't be dropped after 1 week. Then Rabbitohs and Dragons the next two weeks after that. So could possibly be 2 from 3 wins out of their next three and a hooker with Hlf, Prop, 2RF, Winger on the bench* surely sees 80.
*I am 100% that bench will change before kick off.
Clark is base price and starting hooker. I think if he impresses enough will hold that roll for a little. The fact Peats and Rein aren't even in the 21 may mean Holbrook is gone very cold on them?

That's what's making me consider 4 trades and selling likes of Brailey to get him in

What happens if you’re like Des and you slammed the door so hard it fell off. Sold Friend to Twal instead of Aubusson to Yeo  (can still pick up Yeo though this week)

Where was this insight last week

I was too busy convincing the forum to trade in Mag!!!

Friend is in the WAG team. Never had him in the h2h team because I wanted to start with Lolo and Haas.

If this is the case it's awfully tempting to forget about Cleary and bring in Ponga and Friend this week.

I reckon Jai Arrow is probably top 5 if he stays fit and can keep getting decent minutes. I've had him from the start and he's been pretty good for me, and he's a huge POD to boot. I've got a plan to get Lolo back but even if I can't get him, I've got Arrow there while I doubt many will have him at the end.

I mean, Peats and Rein haven't done anything for the team up to this point. Rein has shown glimpses but he's past it. Holbrook maybe just looking for new blood and for players that want to play.

The only thing I'm thinking is that Roberts has played hooker, but with the team, it would be too much shifting getting him from the back, getting Boyd on and slotting in at hooker. Don't see Holbrook doing that.

Jamal Fogarty averages over 50 in QCup (with 113 in his only game this year) and 24 as a first grade starter

QCup averages aren't the be all and end all.

Paix has played almost exclusively as a halfback in QCup, so if nothing else his tackle count will improve with the move to hooker.

I'm avoiding Paix because I think he's too short term, but who knows.

If Clark impresses he might keep the job for a while, but Peats could come back at some point, especially if Titans keep losing

Dude it fucking pains me to have to look at using two trades on bringing in centres this week. Aubbs (possibly no longer starting) and Shibasaki...

I can scrape by for a while with Wiliame, but I also have Lomax who will peak soon.

Gross.

I'll ride Wiliame and Lomax for as long as possible. Risk it without cover for now.

If Murray moves back to lock at some point, he becomes a top 5 option you would think.

I think I've finally gotten my head around my trades. I doubt Aubbs is out completely, so two scenarios:

1. Aubbs is bench and I'm bringing in:

Tedesco
Ponga
Crichton
Crichton

2. Aubbs is starting and I'm bringing in:

Tedesco
Ponga
Mofo

Maybe knows finals is no chance and he is bleeding the new crop coming through, getting them games under their belt.

For every decent game he plays that's another week he gets in the team.

Clark could be one of those cows people go, I'll get him next week, I'll get him next week until he is too awkward to bring in as a cow. I know he plays for one of the spoon contenders but Peats and Rein dropped out of the blue maybe suggests Holbrook is over them and wanting to start the new kids on the block. I think I'll take the risk

True. I mean, most can see Peats and Rein aren't going to get them to finals.

I mean I like it bht what if Aubs starts next week over Crichton? Id play safe and do the second and maybe the extra crichton

Matterson
Murray
Arrow

If I was going without a Lolo backrow, with a watch on Crichton’s continued minutes and for a late Storm team change of Finucane to mobile prop and Brandon Smith 13 (the latter interesting me)

Not considering Yeo over A.Crichton? unless you already have Yeo

But would you wait 1 week to have a look at him and the other options if you could?
