NRL Fantasy 2020 Part 33 - If Stephen Crichton gets injured this week, I'm going to cry

What do we think about Friend? I’ve had him from the beginning and had considered him a probable keeper. Was last week just a 1-off where the chooks has no reason to tackle?

Brailey is for sure out. My question is whether or not to sell Friend and get any of the guns or sell someone like Kennedy to either a mid ranger or cow, banking cash for next week.

The Dogs defence has been decent when they actually turn up. Coming off a win they may have a confidence boost and i dont expect them to be walkovers. Yes, that game against Manly was horrific but their losses to the Eels and Cowboys werent that bad. Cook has a better matchup against the Titans so i dont think you can go wrong with him.

Everyone was talking before during and after about how much Teddy would've scored vs Broncos so why wouldn't Turbo score decent against them as well in their current state

Idk man turbo just doesn't seem that good on fantasy. He only scored 72 when he had 2 tries and 3 assists the other week whereas Teddy had 94 points with one try and no assists. Hopefully turbo can go big though because I have him aswell as Teddy

Nice team. I think you've done well with Cotric, time to jump off. And I want to hold Drinky. Brailey is a sell. Option C imo.

He's on my watch list for Trade Outs. Last week he still got the minutes I wanted but he doesn't get any points for passing. Roosters were rolling the Broncos so he didn't get many attacking or defending stats. If he goes low again I'll trade

I'm personally erring on the side of keeping him, as I do feel like last week was a 1-off. The tighter matches are more his jam, and it's hard to be a tackle bot when you smash a team to nil. Guess it depends on how your team is travelling

Doesn't sound very positive.

Lolo could well be a trade out and his money to better use. Held him last week but this doesn't sound positive. Even if he does play he could get reduced minutes. At least Cowboys play early so a decision can be made

Hmmm. 6 day turn around probably only 3 sessions for the week? Maybe none of the team did much contact yet for the week... haha

What would you do with this squad before trades:

Api
Haas (c), Twal
Yeo, Murray, Carrigan
Moses, Mann
Capewell, Fuimaono
Papenhuyzen, Drinkwater, Kennedy

Horsburgh, EKatoa, Grant, Williame (loop)

JTB, Guler, Rudolph, LLeilua

Papy on Papy and the new rules https://www.nrl.com/news/2020/06/10/papenhuyzen-admits-new-rule-changes-have-been-difficult/

Doesn't change who I'm planning to bring in so would be wasted trade getting him back

L leilua -> Paix
Kennedy -> Gun WFB that you can afford (Ponga/Teddy/Turbo).

What is Lucy doing at 21? He's averaged 47 last 2 weeks with no tries

Could be a very good POD for me.

Randall and Connor back soon. He's a bit too expensive. Great game last week though. Quality service too

Yeah, that's one option get Paix with either Ponga/Teddy or
Munster and Best. Leaning towards Munster and Best.

Any news on aubbs?
I've got aubbs mann and lolo. Big pain in the arse with all this uncertainty.
