NRL Fantasy 2020 Part 43 - Another one bites the dust

Next weeks problem haha.  But yeah, that's what I'm thinking, if can hold this week, there's merit to holding until he returns.   Hopefully he's even back a week early.

Just pondering out loud, an alternative to say Averillo. Forgot about Tevaga coming back, but if he goes 40/40/20 can make approx 100k and should still have a bench role going forward with a bunch of our pack on long term injuries (Afoa, Ah Mau etc)

edit: saw your edit, yes he is FRF - that is probably not too helpful then to plug the 2RF gaps

My possible trade outs (to partner Turbo) are Katoa and Luai so my thinking is

Katoa - Back next week, maybe week after - He holds his 50.4 (not including injury game) average and is 610K+ by R11-12 (extra 70-80K profit and points)

Luai - Prey he has a blinder of a game; however, he is averaging 30 next to Cleary this year and a historical average of 29.6 next to him. If Luai scores around 30 this week he nets 10K and is probably a sell next week if not the week after (extra 5K with 30 avg).

This analysis leads to selling Luai

Christopher Rieve (whoever he is (Supeman?)) also says at least 3 weeks for Katoa,

I actually really like this and I am I crazy considering going Lomax for DPP status and flexibility with L. Mitchell as well instead of RTS

What happens when Drinkwater scores another 45+ and has a single digit BE?

I am also really keen to hold him for Morgo's return (August)

45 and 52 next to Morgo in the first two rounds this year. If that sort of game style continues when Morgo returns he will definitely be a season keeper.

I switched last season after I thought NRLF's new format in 2018 was ill-conceived and no changes were made despite the backlash.

SC kinda sucks though tbh. I almost didn't bother playing at all this season until 2 days before Rd 1 because my bro-in-law wanted me to. It's just way too easy to stack your team with guns fairly early on and becomes largely a guessing game picking your 17 based on who you think will get big attacking stats that week.

Need some sort of happy medium. 21 man bench spots seems too few given that many people have been short of a 17 through no fault of their own. If they want to keep 21 man swuads, then more trades should be given imo.
