NRL Fantasy 2020 Part 49 - Trade Drama Island

My point is Liu isn’t going to effect Butcher. Butcher is a nailed on gun if he’s getting the big lock minutes. I don’t think he will hence the hesitancy

Agree.

Butcher with minutes will make light work of that BE with the minutes. Bloke is a weapon. Like an error free more talented Jack Williams. It’s a punt probably worth taking for me, but I wouldn’t be doing it if in Top 100 like you boys. Fucking I Liu - give me a spell that he’s a guy worth worrying about!

I was actually hoping taka got the nod in the halves. I could see gutho doing a lot more kicking. A bit like Milf did when he was fullback last year

I still think that happens

That's what I've done. Red dot clean out plus Cleary to replace Moses.

Is CS7 eligible for DPP in 4 weeks?

Wow - THAT would be huge!

With no red dots I have the unfamiliar challenge of selecting a 17

Yeah, I know! I am l**ping Papy .... because he's the only one I realistically can, I figured - why not?

Anyone bringing in both Butcher and Young?

NRL clubs are set to reduce their rosters from 30 to 26 as the game continues to feel the COVID-19 pinch (DT)

I am risking it. Allows me to bring in Tedesco and a cashout next week for JTB and S Crichton (I already have Best, Lomax and Latrell at centre).

Mulvy wrote:Just seen the news. Anyone bringing in BS9?

Are we? I could get instead of Croft

Is it worth really saving 125k bringing in Pearce over DCE so I can then get Taupau in?

Or is DCE more important and just hold JTB as 17th man?

Bench with DCE option A upvote:

Grant Carrigan Young JTB


Bench with Pearce partnering Cleary option B downvote:

Grant Carrigan Taupau Young



So 3 all in thumbs up thumbs down thread makes it even harder for me to decide!

Clearly covering for injury, so would be highly unlikely (and suspicious if it happens)

This season? That is a huge adjustment if it is!

If this combo works well does Hughes go to the bench when Munster is back?

Next season

B Smith or Croft?

What would you guys suggest?

A. JMK + Katoa > Harris + Talau

B. JMK + Katoa > Butcher + B Smith

C. JMK/Katoa + Paix/Musgrove > Talau + Butcher/Smith

Doubt B Smith plays 80. The Storm have done similar things before. Ryley Jacks once played the first 30 minutes before subbing off for Billy Slater while Munster went from fullback to 5/8.

At some point B Smith is going to get subbed off and Cam is going to move back into the dummy half role. I'd guess anyway, don't take my word for it if you believe otherwise.

A as Tohu is a big gun this year
