NRL Fantasy 2020 Part 38 - We have our first banner !

Isn’t Drinkwater second in NRL in TAs? He hasn’t increased his KM to better his base without Morgan, but his return will free his running game more. Clifford is shit, I’d back Drinkwater to come decent but I doubt he sticks around in my side long for me to gain anything

I think people just prefer their genuine centres to play 80 minutes instead of being interchanged.

Yep, make sure you got cover though in case he drops out closer to gameday

I wish we could know for sure before Thursday night as I had to do the DPP switcheroo with Carrigan & Rudolf to cover. Carrigan locks out on Thursday night though so I won't be able to switch it back
At least Rudolf is not a bad reserve.

Nikorima 30k more kicks goals and been standout player in 2 wins 74 and 64pts. Thought about him as POD after Dragons game but had other trades to make and didn't fancy the Penrith game

Historical average pretty much at his current average. Absolutely chasing points with KNiko

Such a shithouse interchange, was pretty much only dogs backline player who looked like breaking the line. 1 big bust from nothing and another close one at the end. Kid looks decent but fuck knows what Pay is doing

Not sure how much we can go off historical value with some players. Especially like niko. With the new rules some players are a bit more relevant now. I also heard on the weekend Niko had a big talking to from someone.::: for some reason I think it was Meninga.:: saying he needs to just prettt much worry about himself and just run. Last two weeks that’s what he’s done.

Rumour on fb that Gutho done his acl at training

Well, if you could guarantee me 37 points a week, I couldn't give 2 shits if he was subbed off or not. but the mid-game switcheroo in't great news, not is the uncertainty over whether he'll be playing at centre or wing (or bench) each week

He always been that player mind, he doesn’t have the bulk km to sustain a decent average and loves a MT. So his floor is very low

Most laughable part of the game.

Team is looking like 
Mccinnes 
Haas Twal 
Luci Carrigan Katoa 
Moses Cleary 
Crichton Latrell
Drinkwater papi Isaako

Cook Korisau Grant JTB 

Rudolf Luai Paix HTF 

With no ITB

What trades would you guys be looking at doing this week. Any help would be appreciated

Who is back up fullback there? Maybe Ferguson, has averaged 47 there under old rules. Decent pick up at $456k in a team that is firing.

Devastating news for him if true.

Suprisingly yes he is up there. Close to the top for LBA too. He's also good for some demerits, averaging over 9 per game which I don't see changing. Has low personal attacking stats and not many kick metres. If his assists were good the first few games then dried up you could argue his scoring will come good once they come back but its hard to see it going up from here.

Jesus, what a clusterfuck this season is turning into.....

This week I'm going Paps to Teddy & Capewell to HTF

Team is

Api
JTB Haas (C)
Yeo Katoa Carrigan
Moses DCE
SCrichton Best
Ponga Teddy Lomax

Rudolph Lucy Grant Wiliame (loop)
Luai HTF BJones Walters

$51K ITB

What do we think Latrell averages at fullback for rest of year? You wouldn’t think it’d be more than 40.

Yeah mate looks like I’m stuck with with for a few weeks as need the cover so trying to look at some bright points

Guy says he's a friend of a friend of Parra CEO. I'm sure we'll find out in next few hours if true

Why couldn't he go over 40? This looks like the year the guns will average 50 and he has the class to be in considering for at least top 5 WFB by season end. Even better is you can put him at CTR and not worry about it because he'll out score every other CTR eligible player most weeks.

Huge news if this gutho rumour is true. Jai field is named in their reserves...
