NRL Fantasy 2020 Part 47 - At Least Scott Drinkwater didn't go large again

Something else apparent from the carnage is that positional cover is important this year as the trades wind down or you risk pissing away more than necessary before you get a set team ( particularly when every cow is an outside back or a pretend hooker And the injuries are not)

I’m here all week stating the obvious

I'm actually surprised more people aren't tearing their teams apart to get him in.

He's expensive and almost everyone needs to cover injuries in positions that McInnes can't play, so there's not really been an opportune time.

I guess what I'm asking is, considering he's averaging 7 more than Haas atm, do you just get him in if you can?

I was going to go rudolf and paix to taupau and niu but could piss off jtb and leilua for mcinness and niu..first option seems smarter long term but obviously having the highest averaging player in the game just feels bloody good!

The problem with holding Moses and playing Luai is I was going to use Luai to fund further upgrades to my team.

Holding Moses and playing Luai for 2-3 weeks is acceptable. Not being able to upgrade anyone else in the meantime because my other cows haven't peaked or aren't worth much, not quite.

Aloiai with another 50. Looks like a tempting Horse replacement.

Will Aloiai keep that role when Twal comes back. He’s great off the bench and that bench looks terrible!

The Isaako move seemed like the kind of move a coach makes when he needs to be seen to do something but doesn’t want to take a hard decision yet. Seibold has been fucking around moving kids (and I would count Isaako as a kid) in and out of the team hoping it will shake the senior players up a bit or their luck will turn....it hasn’t

As an Eels fan, I'm relieved to hear the Moses news.

As a Fantasy Coach, definitely creates a pickle. I can't really justify getting rid of him for a 2-3 week injury, so I'll have to re-adjust plans. I could keep Drinkwater for that time and hope he doesn't leak too much. Or, I was thinking just this evening, I could possibly punt Drinkwater along with JTB for Flanno and Niu (or whatever cheapie looks best tomorrow) and then ride with three gun halves (Cleary, Moses & Flanno).

I'd severely hinder plans to bring in Teddy and/or Ponga with this move, but it does hold some kind of appeal to me.

I was wondering if Herbie Farnworth was a decent cash out option.

However then I remembered Staggs is going to come back and we all know Darius is never going to get dropped so maybe not?

You would think based on form, Herbie would keep a wing spot over Coates.

Maybe it's because I don't have the cash or the trades (or the time or the inclination - that's from a film, can't remember which one) but I'm going to say, Mary will fuck him up one way or another. Stupid bench rotation/he get's smashed from dirty carries as a lock/take your pick.

This made me chuckle

This is also my problem.

Do we reckon Robson maintains this 80 minute role? Anyone heard anything from Green in regards to his mins? Was thinking of trading Rudolf to him and considering him a keeper if he can maintain the role... thoughts?

Not convinced, but sell me on him, I need someone 5k cheaper than Kapow.

How about Robson for 36k cheaper???

I'm just a couple of K short on Taupau.

I want Robson but throws out my team balance out too much! And reluctant to trade Brailey to him
