NRL Fantasy 2020 Part 49 - Trade Drama Island

Pics from Cowboys training, HTF wearing the first team shirt.. there's a pic that seems to show him on the left side with Hess/Opacic in the shot.

Is giraffe neck DCE?

If I go DCE over Pearce it means I have Young 16th man and JTB as 17th man is this ok?

If I go Pearce I have Taupau in over JTB.

This is such a hard decision, I’m torn.

I am not 100% against this. I think he'll benefit on the wing.

I agree, simplify his job.

If he can get some space on the edge he should burn past Sivo and Blake

I am kind of considering just leaving Talau and Lomax in my CTR's all year.

Well to refer back to my discussion, how certain are you of JTB's role and the warriors form going forward?
That is your gamble, the rest we know what these players will do

JTB seems like a 40min 40pt player but if the warriors keep getting pumped then he is probably more likely to score in the 30s

Also if you do go DCE can you easily replace/upgrade JTB or have a plan to upgrade to someone decent in the next couple of weeks?

As long as he is on the field then it works for me
Giving his run from fullback seemed soft and afraid of being injured, maybe a couple of easy tries in the corner and the early set runs seem more likely for points

Yeah I think he will be better off from the red zone runs and the long balls from Drinkwater in the corner. Less chance for negatives.

If I go to DCE then I wouldn’t really have spare cash to upgrade JTB, could only do JTB to Butcher.

Do we think Pearce can average 52-55?

This is my plan.

haha yeah mate.

If I had JTB I'd have no problem having him in my 17 if it benefits my team elsewhere. Still spewing I missed him.

Do it ST, focus elsewhere.

My brain is all over the place today.. Now I have pulled the pin on trading Drinkwater at all and decided to keep him for now and save a trade instead meaning I have 14 trades. Greeny has been working really closely with Drinkwater's defence so hopefully his MT count goes down a bit and hope he finds some attacking spark with HTF outside him.

I went Musgrove over JTB I think.... was not my finest hour. Was expecting JTB to be another Warriors plodder.

If Pearce averages 52-53 though and DCE averages 58 there isn’t much difference.

Taupau is a big upgrade on JTB.

Trooper’s head is all over the place, so is mine lol...

Just realised MTB has Pearce so if the guru has Pearce it should be fine if I buy Pearce.

Now just need to decide on Butcher or Young.

Doing the following 4 trades leaves me with: (10 trades left but so close to my final team)

Moses to Pearce
Rudolf to Young/Butcher
Paix to Sironen
JTB to Taupau

Koro
Haas MoFo
Lucy Murray Yeo
Cleary Pearce
Latrell Crichton
Teddy Ponga Pap

Grant Carrigan Taupau Young/Butcher
Sironen Niu Hammer Magoulias


Thoughts?

Okay I think I've finally made trades I can be happy with.

Clark to Niu
Rudolf to McIntyre
Moses to DCE
Clune to Robson

151k left over

Grant
JTB, Haas
Yeo, Lolo, Leilua
Mann, DCE
Talau, Aitken
Papenhuyzen, Ponga, Best

Carrigan, Koro, Macca, Robson

Luai, Crichton, McIntyre, Niu

I can probably go JTB to Taupau in one trade next week. Put everything I have into aiming for Teddy ASAP. Any glaring flaws with my team from having too many HOK's? Should I buy Pearce instead and save mega cash?

Don't want to spoon feed you too much, but yes I feel that seems very achievable

Check yourself, but it comes down to which Pearce/Knights you think they are this year? Then was last year normal for him/Knights or a blip in his career?
I mention both the team and him as I feel he scores better in a team going well as he loves a try
The answer is there, just have to work through it otherwise you will never be happy with the decision
