NRL Fantasy 2020 Part 37 Shall we talk about CTRs again?

Depending on Lucy's prognosis and if I want to keep Nofo, came up with this in 3 seconds, looking at;

Hess - Averillo
Pappy - Teddy

1K spare.

Probably wise to keep Pappy over Nofo though. He is just pissing me off though. Hess pissed me off too.

FOMO has me considering getting Best this week

Capewell to Best
Luai to Talau or Averillo

Best is against the Broncos, I can't not have him and better late than never. Luai is close to peaking and I need to free up cash so I can get rid of Drinkwater as fast as possible.

15 trades, 236k in the bank

Grant
Carrigan, Haas
Lolo, Yeo, Leilua
Mann, Moses
Talau, Best
Papenhuyzen, Turbo, Drinkwater

Katoa, Koro, Macca, JTB

Rudolf, Clark, Clune, Crichton

Crichton has been a total flop and I'm not going to play him against the Storm. Somehow that'll be the game he gets 50 lol

Early thoughts for TLT tonight...................

Knights vs Broncos

Kurt Mann could miss after suffering a knock the ankle, with Tex Hoy or Phoenix Crossland shaping as his replacements. Lachlan Fitzgibbon could come back from a hamstring injury and replace Brodie Jones on the bench.

Tevita Pangai and Alex Glenn make their return for the Broncos while Kotoni Staggs makes way after suffering a hamstring injury. Rhys Kennedy looks like the other casualty, while new signing Issac Luke could make his debut.

Rabbitohs vs Warriors

James Roberts could return after requiring an extra week to get his fitness up to full strength.

For the Warriors, David Fusitu’a could come into the squad as he slowly builds his fitness, with Adam Pompey likely making way. King Vuniyayawa is expected to overcome a neck injury, while Ken Maumalo is a chance to return from a hamstring injury.

Panthers vs Storm

Kurt Capewell will miss at least the next 10 weeks after suffering a serious knee injury in last Friday’s loss to Parramatta, with Liam Martin set to take his place on the right edge and Jack Hetherington or Billy Burns to come onto the bench. Dylan Edwards has recovered from a hamstring injury and could take over Caleb Aekins’ position at fullback.

The Storm are expected to go in unchanged.

Titans vs Dragons

Dale Copley is set to miss with a syndesmosis injury, while Tyronne Roberts will return from an ankle issue. Jai Arrow (ribs) Jamal Fogerty (HIA) and Ash Taylor (shoulder) are all expected to be right.

Ben Hunt is likely to remain on the bench and Matt Dufty at fullback after the Dragons finally got their first win on the board against Cronulla. The only potential change for the Dragons is Jason Saab or Tristian Sailor coming in for Jordan Pereira, who was quiet against the Sharks.

Wests Tigers vs Cowboys

Luke Garner is expected to come in for Luciano Leilua (ankle). Russel Packer will miss the next two weeks through suspension, with Oliver Clark likely taking his place in the side. Benji Marshall is not expected to return after Josh Reynolds’ strong showing on the weekend.

Valentine Holmes (ankle) andJordan McLean (calf) are both set to miss for the Cowboys. Francis Molo, Ben Hampton and Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow all shape as replacements. Tom Gilbert accepted a three-match ban, with Corey Jensen, Shane Wright and Peter Hola to all contenders to replace him.

Roosters vs Eels

Roosters TBC.

Kane Evans is likely to miss after being charged by the match review committee, with Orgeon Kaufusi and Brad Takarangi options to come in.

Raiders vs Sea Eagles

Corey Horsburgh was a late out for the Raiders last week with gastro and looks set to return. George Williams (knee), Charze Nicoll-Klokstad (knock), Jordan Rapana (shoulder), Jack Wighton (head cut) and Joseph Tapine (nose) are all expected to overcome minor injuries, while Hudson Young is eligible to return from suspension.

Nothing said for Manly.

Sharks vs Bulldogs

Matt Moylan (hamstring) will need to prove his fitness after being a late out last week. Sione Katoa (wrist) is in doubt, paving the way for Bryson Goodwin to make his club debit.

Bulldogs TBC.

May as well crawl into a hole now because it never does.

There will be an extra cow or two names this week or a random gun being rested.

Love this. In attack, they hardly ever went left, and when they did, he plays outside Aitken anyway so isn't going to see ball. And the Sharks pretty much played entirely on the left too, including bombing Rava, because he's always going to bobble a couple. No wonder he was quiet

To me Pereira seems like the only Dragons back who is actually capable of doing their job properly for 80 minutes.

In fantasy news, I am very tempted by Pearce at 200k less than Cleary/DCE/Moses, but should probably just be patient and wait one week.

The backs
The forwards and bench

Got 193k to hopefully go cow/gun again next week. Eyeing off an obvious gun wfb but they're all too pricey for me at the moment, unless my hand is forced with ANOTHER injury. Also a gun hlf but Mann is doing the work for the time being

Trades left? Definitely think all your trades for the foreseeable future are going to be fixing the backs. CTR's are hanging on by a thread.

Farnworth 212k at centre for 6+ weeks? I don't know.

Surely when Dfifi returns could possibly push Glenn out there?

but would be pretty good. Being at ctr should see some more ball. Broncos love that edge!

Time for Paix to do his owners a favour and break Luke

Can go Capewell to Lolo and Staggs to Mitchell

I think opposite. From watching the game Pereira was atrocious defensively. I am surprised the Sharks didn't exploit him more. He was caught flat footed or back peddaling so many times. He was beated way to easy. I said a few times during the game... WTF are you doing??

Farnworth played most of his Q CUP at centre for Norths, he is comfortable there. Hopefully just get some certainty around positions so its not a new combo every week.

Yeah maybe that's what Seib's is aiming for. Could be a good shout. If he is Ctr I love a bet and I might take the niggle over Talau for the exta cash.

Not sure if mentioned, I’ve missed far too many pages. Tigers have released Corey Thompson immediately to the Titans. I assume we will therefore be looking for a big winger to replace him (heard rumours of Saab, but have also heard Saints won’t release him). How does this affect Talau, who really is a centre and not a winger?

Just a quick warning. I have swapped Capewell with Macca, so no doubt he breaks soon. Also, Drinkwater is fast losing cash, so is Fogarty a decent replacement? How safe is his position? I just have to rid myself of Drinkwater and can’t afford a gun yet.

Mary and Pay are on par with my coaching decisions week 1 & 2 every year

Only 15 left. Got hit by every dud and some bad decisions myself as well. Levi, Magoulias, Shibasaki, Aubo, now Capewell and Drinkwater. Nightmare of a year

Hope the CTRs can just hit some solid 30s for the time being

Was just looking at last season stats. Listed as Winger for Norths 61 attempted tackles in 16 games sounds more liked winger than centre?

I’m gonna wait for team lists before I decide anything and then I’ll start the panic!

It seems Best got a 3 point boost overnight too so his owners would be happy.

I finished with 1008 for the round thanks to Teddy and rank from 2338 to 1050.

Doesn’t look like I’m in a position to bring a gun in this week though so I will slide.
