NRL Fantasy 2020 Part 39 - Sarsaparilla time

The Pascoe Fiasco wrote:Was messing with my team after dinner, then had a zoom conference, forgot to cancel my trades. I have officially traded Leilua as I can’t reverse the trade. Thank God Twal gets DPP next week as I now have no cover in my 2RF! Got to love this game!

That's a bit of a fiasco

Nice try mate, but they actually have to pay double because of the 2 heads.

At last SJ tries. Honestly can't tell who's a rookie and who's a big dollar half back

Milf to FB next week? Surely can’t get any worse.

I backed the croft signing but hes terrible. He has no idea.

Milford is done too

I think he's trying too hard on defence. I also think he needs a calm old head to do the leading

Carrigan is on.

He went off because he got binned and he's probably getting suspended

Can you get suspended of you're binned? Thought that was doublimg up

Dont get suspended for professional foul, only for foul play

Same with Teddy last week when I specifically freed up cash to get him in this week

I took the risk not bringing him in cause even at a 70 he won't get too expensive. Just gutted about the points

Wait so do we think Carrigan will cop a suspension for that hit???

In post game interview Siebold was talking about changes he made last season. Wouldn't surprise me to see Milf back to fullback, Dearden at half. Needs to get Milf involved and firing, which happened when he made that change last season

I think you’re onto it MattNZ, I can defs see Milford going back to fullback and Dearden into the halves.

Definitely it was late. Grade 2 I reckon. Liam Knight did one on DCE last year and got 2 weeks.

If you calm down and took a breath youd have read that it was Carrigan who said his style is similar to Cook, in the pre game press conference before his debut.

If you are gonna take that and run with it to mean hes the next cook then thats your own fault

No one said he was the next Cook at all. I’m just surprised to see he’s got no running game at all basically. I think you guys should just play Issac for 80 in the mean time as his passes are more crisp and he will run where there is opportunity too.

Well I just heard FOX say it in his debut game that’s who I heard it off actually and not Carrigan.

no mirrors needed, just a long history of being a screw-up

It's all good mate. We can't all be Verbal Kint

I just went back to read the hour before kickoff with the Paix carnage. It did not disappoint, would read again.

I was originally starting Paix and looking at Drinkwater -> HTF to load up for next week. But backed up to Drinkwater -> Pearce and Paix EMG with the news and cant complain.

2nd trade, is a very sketchy move that’s now locked in since Pearce cost more than Drinky. Doubt I’ll be as happy with the outcome.

Haas 55
Carrigan 41
Croft 47
Paix 14


Ponga 68
Best 28
Pearce 76
Mann 45
Macca 45


That’s after updates

Interested to see Haas TB numbers. 1 in first 30 seconds, definite 1 in his second stint when someone attempted to smash him, Haas turned in contact and tackles rolled off

Down for 1 TB off only 9 hit ups.

Clear as they come. Never mind

I missed out on Best and although I hate missing out on all that money, I wasn't too phased as he obviously wasn't going to be scoring tries every week. Gotta say, though, 28 for seemingly doing absolutely fuck all... not bad if that's as low as he gets.
