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

Does anyone know when Luke Thompson will be added he’s already in supercoach.. For some reason when players are added they go straight to free agent which is unfair in a draft league

Looking at Robson... without his LBA and TA he would have got 54... thats pretty good for pretty much base stats. He might be 15 points underpriced and could be a season keeper?

how much do you have itb before trades. I'd probably go brailey and capewell out for rfm and macca if you got the funds

Have 61k, so 9k short for that one sadly.

what do we know about the Talau injury???

This is totally crazy option C but I feel like this the week to get Teddy and Latrell but would have to sell Lucy and Horse. Crazy but back 5 near set

Best Latrell (Crichton, Wiliame)
Pap Teddy Ponga (Drinkwater)

Then I'd have Capewell and Drinkwater to fix 2RF next week

With current scoring and therefore using a magic number of 13000, Teddy is already priced at around 68, better value elsewhere.

1-2 weeks. Hamstring issue.

Been comparing the two this morning and no idea what way to go. Macca with the runs on the board for a couple of games. Robson 60k cheaper and possibly able to keep up

I’m keen to bring him in this week and take the zero and hope he’s back next week haha.

That is what the season has become

I have this feeling on Friday night that Panthers will start to struggle and Cleary will bring on Burton and replace Luai a lot earlier than expected to change things up

Tough decision. Macca seems the more reliable!!! Another loss or two and Robson could be back to the bench.. or Granville could join the bench and steal his minutes. Unless Green has finally dropped his ego and realised how long ago 2015 was and realised he has to blood some young guns so when the old fellas piss off he has some youth coming through instead of being a club players come to retire.

Havent watched the video cause at work but apparently talks about Dearden getting his opportunity?

Really want to trade Drinkwater but his HLF/WFB DPP will be so valuable come seasons end. Saves me stressing about having too much cover has he can fill in for either quite comfortably.

if you go Lucy to Robson should allow capewell to pearce.

Hmm...Not bad. Thanks for your thoughts.

its a nothing video, its just from the Broncos presser yesterday.

Siebold was questioned on Dearden and he just re-iterates that Dearden is happy to bide his time, its unfortunate that there is no Q CUP/etc at the moment for him to get some footy under his belt, and he'll get an opportunity in the future.

That's another reason Doueihi looks like a solid option.

What if he takes 4+ weeks to come back?

Also not sure where ST96 got 1-2 weeks from. Wests Tigers just said "minor hamstring issue" can't see anything with a time frame.

NRLPhysio's opinion is usual return is 2-4 weeks (noting that NRLPhysio doesn't actually get to see the players, he just goes off what the clubs say and video analysis of the injury)

Oh wow... going a bit under the radar with his scores recently.

LEILUA WATCH: Wests Tigers just tweeted some training pics where you can see 15-20 of the squad, can't spot big Luciano in the pics though.

Drinkwater I think stays around for me. Very useful guy to have around I think

Possibly going through some light work? They play sunday arvo so might put him through a training session on Thursday then Captains Run Friday before the game?

Just my thoughts
