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

I don't think Grant is ballsy necessarily if you want a POD captain, he's a legitimate captain now I'd say. Has a good match up this week, very high floor, probably lower ceiling than Haas or Cook.

Is everyone trading Latrell?

Stop tempting me lol.

Re Teddy it is gonna be so dewy and slippery down in Canberra so maybe that’ll affect his score a little.

Cleary wasn’t 100 percent carrying some injuries last week so I won’t put the C on him.

I think I’ll stick with Haas.

It's at the SCG tomorrow.

Last time I needed to make a last minute trade I was able to trade during the first game. Only the players in that 1st game were locked out, all the others were unlocked.

I am. But I don't know if I do it this week for cash - probably Fermor.

Or do I hold the trade and see if someone from my team puts his hand up next week to exit alongside Latrell and hopefully become Ponga?

Bit torn on this decision. To make money at the expense of a trade (I still currently have 12 left) or to hold the trade?

After stairing at the screen for an hour I am going

Best 》Havili
Fattrell 》 Teddy.

Now to commence centre roulette picking between Crichton Niu and Talau each week to partner Lomax.

Oh wow indeed it is.

Far out well geez so tempted now to put the C on Teddy especially with how depleted the Raiders are,

Proctor is probs back next week, keep that in mind re Fermor.

I like those trades a lot. Even with those trades you still have four centres? Lomax is kevlar. I'd probably sell Crichton too when he peaks leaving three and doing the centre roulette, everyone is doing it anyway because there is no such thing as a set and forget centre this year.

Did NBrown only play 80 last week because Paulo didn’t play the 2nd half?

What minutes are people expecting from him?

was just looking at this. He's had 61, 54, 60, and 61 mins in his other four games. So I guess 60 mins then?

Yes agree. Was that injury and having a rookie forward on the bench that got 1 minute.

of course, its not Brown's minutes we're most interested in, but his score.  In those games, he's scored 41, 31, 44, and 59.  Not that inspiring actually...

Is Teddy going large tomorrow mate, should I put the C on him. Tossing up between Teddy or Haas with the C. I’m 50/50 right now. I actually just did a thumbs up and thumbs down re this in that seperate thread.....

I’m up against fellow Bunny Aardvark in a Souths forum head to head this week so I’ll make sure I leave it til last minute to decide if I put the C on Teddy, make him sweat it out

Yeah I think 60-65 is likely most weeks, but he'll be the guy to play 80 if there is an injury. He scores well anyway with 60-65 minutes. I'd consider him except my 2rf is pretty set already, and injury and suspension concerns. But I think his injury concerns are overblown. Rib cartilage, pectoral, ankle etc, pretty unlucky. Not like a 2nd ACL or chronic hammy or anything. Suspension a bigger risk due to the way he plays, but that's what makes him a good player and fun to watch!

agreed. what tempts me most is how good he is to watch.

On NBrown and minutes. In 2018 NBrown spoke to BA about his desire to play 80mins. BA said he had to earn it.

Not sure if that sentiment still counts in 2020, but he definitely ran the ball hard last game.

I’d bring him in if it fitted my team.

If Yeo only scores around 40-45 this week I may bring Brown in next week. I expect Brown to average around 53-54 from this point on.

well remembered. he finished that season with three 80 minute games and one 77 minute game in his last five, so he obviously earned it in the end. Mind you, they did win the wooden spoon that year, so hard to compare...
