NRL Fantasy 2020 Part 60 - Less trades than rounds left edition.

Grant
Haas MoFo
Lolo Aloiai Butcher
Cleary Pearce
Latrell Lomax
Papy Tedesco Ponga

Carrigan JTB Young Api
Field HTF Niu Musgrove

10 trades, 5k itb.

Thinking of holding Latrell and Young, move Niu to centre if he plays.

JTB is the obvious problem.

Option a) Use one trade and trade him to Havili

Option b) Hold trades, trade him and Field to someone like Taupau or RTS and a cash out next week.

Option c) Trade Latrell and JTB to Hunt and a centre depth cash out.

Leaning b atm.

In hindsight I wish I traded out Latrell instead of SCrichton to fund Tedesco last week but no point dwelling on the past.

Looking just like 1 trade for me:

BBrailey - > Cleary

Yes, he’s too pricey, but they have a good run ahead and his game seems suited to the new rules more than DCE’s.

That means holding Rudolf Friend Luai and Latrell ‘Cheezburgs’ Mitchell. But the first three are making cash and the last one can loop Bob Jane and Smashed Avos this week. I’d ditch the chubby gift if there were decent cows around. But Fermor the only tempting one and even then.... not really. He doesn’t look fit enough to keep more than a 40min bench spot.

Flights back to Auckland have today been booked for Warriors players David Fusitu’a, Ken Maumalo & Agnatius Paasi. They fly out of Australia on July 27, two days after playing the Roosters on the Central Coast, 2 months and 25 days after last seeing family in NZ.

Who's going to be scoring Warriors points now?

Some may suggest it's one and the same.

"That's it you people have stood in my way long enough I'm going to get Corey Oates"

Haha, love this.

B

But not RTS next week, you don't need another wfb?

I was tempted to go HTF to Talau. HTF is all kinds of done. Talau has a single digit BE. Would cost me 60K but if Talau averaged 30 over the next 2 weeks he should make that up, anything extra and it’s a bonus. He has an inevitable DPP incoming.
My CTRs and WFBs are

Lomax Niu
Ponga Papy Farnsworth
Crichton HTF

But on further thought, I think Lomax and Niu are going to be my ending CTR’s for the year… meaning one of Crichton or Farnsworth need to become cover for the run home.
I am tempted to go HTF to Starling with the thought that he and Havili split the minutes somewhere around 40/40 to 50/30 and Havili spending some time in the middle. Starling has the better job security as Havili isn’t really an 80 minute player and Hodgson’s season is probably done.

Holy Dooly!

Just found out I can go

HTF>Starling
Luai>RTS

Thoughts?

Team with 10 trades and 27K

Carrigan Haas
Lolo Angus Matto
DCE Cleary

Koro Lucy Butcher Young
Fermor Farnsworth Crichton Starling

No FRF or HLF coverage but that'll come soon.

S Crichton is very viable 17 player still. Up against Cowboys right edge (Dunn, Marsters, Feldt) who conceded 5 tries to Eels down that edge & then Titans , weakened Sea Eagles, weakened Raiders, weakened Warriors (post players leaving)

I'm not sure you need RTS as then to get Teddy who would you trade down line

Tom Starlings NSW cup stats for 2020.

1 game @ Hooker (80 minutes)

1 Try, 38 Kick Meters, 1 Try Assist, 2 Linebreaks, 8 Tackle Busts, 2 Offloads, 49 Tackles, 3 Missed Tackles, 145 run Meters, 105 Fantasy Points.

In 2017 and 2018 with the Knights his average points were 33 and 30, off of 14 and 9 games respectively. In 2019 with the Mounties he averaged 49 in 20 games.

Looking back through a few games Starling was coming off the bench in those 2017 and 2018 seasons at the Knights with Chris Randall main fiddle at No. 9.

also my thoughts. With Crichton as backup for my CTR/WFB I am tempted to just go HTF > Starling for that 58K in the kitty (150 itb after trade) and possible cash gen.

If it was before round 1 we wouldn't be talking about a possible 30 minute bench hooker.
Definitely one to miss for mine

With Raiders stocks low I wouldn't be surprised to see Sticky chuck Starling in at Hooker before the game and use Havili as he has been used all year. Lucky Raiders play first up Thursday night.

I don't see him starting him against the Chooks this week.

How pissed off will he be if Raiders manage to get Randall loaned to them

Looking for a second centre to partner Niu

This week or trading out one? If this week, Best, but ongoing SMat should score higher when starting again.

Well well Magoulias in the emergencies there is hope

Thoughts on buying Matterson at 882k or is he too expensive now. With MS mentioning that Yeo could play ctr if Whare is out I could upgrade to Matterson. Even if he doesn't play ctr vs the Cows the intention is there & if a back gets injured during the game Yeo could play out the game at ctr. Also he's been rested lately when the game is in the bag & the Panthers have a pretty soft draw coming up. I'm liking Matterson's guaranteed 80 mins & his ceiling is very high. Now I could go lower & get Jurbo & he's probably better value but his ceiling is probably 20-25 points lower than Matterson's. I could go T. Harris but if he ends up on the edge he's less effective re points. Thoughts & thanks.

Is Yeo to Jake Turbo or Nathan Brown to sideways?

If Penrith like someone said have easier games coming up then that does not bode well for Yeo to rack up a big tackle count.

I would go Jurbo over N. Brown because Jurbo is consistent with his scores & plays 80 mins whereas although N. Brown is awesome his discipline/the way he plays is an issue & he'll not play 80 mins every week. He probably played 80 mins last game due the J. Paulo not returning.
