NRL Fantasy 2020 Part 49 - Trade Drama Island

If Munster is back in 2 weeks it’s an absolute waste of a trade, don’t even consider it

Oh for sure. Anyone looking to bring him in following C.Smith's move to halfback? Or are we all set on our trades?

Party Pooper again, great player but this looks like a slightly more expensive Butcher with a slightly lower BE. Needs at least 3-4 weeks to make $100k and WTF knows what minutes are going to be like?

As a CS9 owner hmm don't think that's ideal.

But B Smith instead of Young or Butcher is appealing

I traded him in a few weeks ago, just to help Titans games become interesting. Very happy with him in my 17.

Yeah for sure, keen to see the final team lists - if Jacks/Hughes is on the bench, will avoid. Although, I will be annoyed once he scores 70.

Well, that's Fantasy for you.

Word of warning, Paul Green said today, if Val pulls up fine tomorrow morning,  he is in and Hammer probably out.

Butcher BE is 50. Or is MTB’s site wrong?

B Smith at Hooker makes Tom Eisenhuth a more interesting cash out. 3 forward bench instead of 4. Pookus it may find you the $3k you are missing.

Looking at twitter, Justin O'Neill didn't train yesterday but did today, which will explain the Hammer at wing photos.

Prospects don't look good for Hammer this week. Sad face

RIP another cow I’ve had bugger all luck on fuck me

John Bateman is at least another month away from returning after having a second shoulder surgery 5 weeks ago. Matches initial reports of a 10 week recovery, making estimated return to play Rd14

Still should be long enough for Young to make money.

Is anyone going Butcher over Young?

Chopped and changed my trades 100 times this week. What you lads reckon?

Grant
Carrigan Haas
Lolo Matterson Butcher
Mann DCE
Talau Mitchell
Drinky Ponga Papy

Koroisau Friend Robson Young
HTF Luai Nui Chrichton

L Leiua --> Young
W Kennedy --> Nui
Rudolf --> Ponga
Katoa --> Butcher (not sure on this one)

Really wanted Taupau, not real keen on Young but I needed to afford Ponga. My backline was way too weak.

8K left ITB, 13 trades left.

Me. Hoping he has the potential to become a cut-price keeper - following last year's scores, whereas Young will drop out once Bateman comes back. But 4 forward bench for the Roosters does scare me a little. New to the forum, so take my judgement with quite a lot of unreliability.

Although, gee that B. Smith is tempting > Butcher.

That’s my concern what the hell happens when Liu comes back, does he get the 13 jersey?

Mate honestly no one knows. I really hope Butch keeps it and proves himself over the next couple of weeks and Liu goes to middle rotation. It just depends how they perform

Actually not as good as I thought. His 2018 stats not amazing either. Still, I've always thought he'd be a total gun at 9.

Just posted my team on the assistant coach thread. Please check it out.

Liu has come in for JWH every game they have both played this hear. Butcher will be fine if he gets 55-65 like Radley was getting he’s a gun. If Robbo drops him to 50 and alters rotations he’s borderline

Still waiting for Fog's mugshot to appear on his profile........

Id back him long term playing 9 @ 65mins to go around 50/55 Average. Come back to NZ Wombat

Butch was a fkn gun at lower levels. Was head and shoulders above Rads, really hoping he can grow into this role and make it his own during Rads' injury. Keen to see him rip in tonight.
