NRL Fantasy 2020 Part 43 - Another one bites the dust

Yeah, that the thing, this is the conundrum that will occupy my time today.

At this point in time we are all taking gambles, I'm trying to go with gambles I would be comfortable in my final 17

MTB right though. I’m petrified of starting Averillo regardless of his 2 very decent CTR scores. Don’t own Crichton but he’ll bust some big ones with his mediocre efforts as well. Nature of the beast at CTR. Can score sub 25 with a try, can score 45 with 20 tackles and a few TBs.

If mine can both get 60 between them it saves me a little bit of death on the inside for the weekend at least

Ah to choose between Averillo and Talau. The former has very shaky job security. The latter could potentially have a dodgy hammy.

Is it any coincidence they're both CTR's? I thought at the start of the year it'd be fun to play a season where you actually had to pick people in the outside backs instead of cheesing it with Bateman and Nikora. Nope it absolutely sucks.

Pulled up the stats yesterday on NRL.com and he scored 26. 185 metres or something.

I'm pretty convinced on bringing him in (probably next week) but it really doesn't suit my team that he is a CTR only.

Geez really, I would have thought he got a heap of tackle breaks. Considering he’s an actual fullback crazy if he doesn’t get dpp

Haha have always seen CTR in this way.

talking about weak spots, should I get

Matterson & play Averillo in the CTRs or
Ponga & play Fuimano (vs Roosters) in the 2RF

Assuming you already own Fuimaino I'd go with option 2. Matterson seems to be a top tier keeper this year, but think you can get better value from JTurbo

Stumped currently with Lee and Averillo, additional participant will likely arrive in the form of Talau or Niu. I ain’t scuuuurrrrrreeedd

Reckon this would be fucking hilarious. In bizarre attempt to save his job, Siebold tries to copy The Mary McGregor method and shifts struggling star half into bench hooker role

Milf to bench
Dearden starting half

Luai > Talau is winning the battle in my brain.
Paix > Niu next week as at worst a cash out for the year

Similar scores definitely possible and 130k banked from the first trade

Won't his BE be about 30 upon return and he is averaging 50.4 without his injury game?

Bit of a wait and see with a new boss in who he likes there

Don’t mind the trading of him, don’t mind the keeping and wait and see either. They’re not blessed with lots of alternatives, albeit Tevaga a real cat amongst the pigeons

I feel some of those games aren't judged as precisely as other... i.e TB's may not be watched as closely, etc.

I have this feeling about him. I feel he will have a huge first game at FB

Yes it will mate. Apologies. Even better then

Reflecting on my planned trade of Katoa to RFM today I really don't like it. If I'm taking Katoa out I need to be upgrading him to a keeper and that is not RFM. Only potential keeper I could afford is Hors and don't love that either.

Problem is I need a 2rf this week and if its not Katoa to RFM then I think it has to be hold Katoa and go Paix to Mcintyre. That doesn't make me jump for joy by any means but there is basically no cheap 2rfs.. He'll do for this week and then likely just stay in my EMG, if he manages to keep a permanent role he'd be handy with ctr cover too if I was desperate

He won't be up against the Storm this week, has Broncos, Titans and Sharks in rounds 8,9 and 10 and then should be 600K+ by R11 against the Roosters..

Is Paix+Clark>Niu+Averillo and 279k itb bad trades. 15 left. Will have certainty of Niu starting before making trades

Got a decent looking pack if we can nail a decent rake down next year and rest still under contracT

Ah Mau
Newbie
JTB
Harris
Katoa
Tevaga

I think Dearden just takes the spot that Paix otherwise would have on the bench, but I guess we'll have to wait and see.

Dearden trained in the reserves side yesterday.

That said.. Isaako was still wearing the #1 on Monday.

He played some big minutes off the bench last week? Obviously Twal injury helped.

If you think he can string a couple decent score together Dunn is 307K and coming off a 48??? At least you know he will play about 70+ minutes.

Just trying to me funny mate, can you imagine the tackle Haas would have to make if Milf was in the middle!!
