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

I nearly was, I traded out Rudolf for cash and then was tempted to go Mofo to McInnes, but would leave me without cover

Tossing up between Brown and Hunt

I want to bring in Hunt. But if I do, I need to play Fermor in the second row with no cover and that will put a lot of pressure on my team if he is out next week. Makes more sense to bring in Brown, leave a Fermor as cover and try to make a play for Hunt next week, right?

It’s a tough one. There’s definitely better players I can afford but one injury and that could derail the season.

Just realised I can do

Butcher > Starling
Leilua > Crichton

I’ve already splashed on Teddy this year, not sure I can do it twice

I did consider it, but the way the season is going I don't want to risk it. I brought in Tauk this week who has been scoring well since the injuries hit the Roosters. I was able to afford Mofo, but opted for the cheaper option as I really need the cash for future upgrades (every little bit helps).

Team for this week

Grant
Haas Taupau
Matterson Taumalolo Murray
Johnson Hunt
Niu Crichton
Tedesco Ponga Papenhuyzen

Koroisau
McCullough
Robson
Carrigan

Fogarty
Talau
Averillo
Tabuai-Fidow

Looking very strong with a good 18th man. Unless you a bunch of injuries hit you have me well beat this year

Nice team!
Will you eventually upgrade one of your hookers to another gun 2rf?

With Butcher out I have no one playing tonight

Be nice Teddy

Start one, l**p two and cut one:

Luai, Fermor, Young, joliffe

Also, is Teddy a god captaincy option?

Well he's never played the full 80 in the back-row in his career. Plus he's playing for a team that is constantly chopping and changing their line-up.

Lot of what if's for a no-brainer.

that's fair, but I would think one of him or Te'o will have to play Glenn's 80 with our bench make-up, and i'd back the bloke who's logged big minutes at the position already vs the one who's been getting half-hour stints, and chopping and changing won't be a problem so long as we have no other healthy forwards, no-brainer was probably the wring word to use, it's definitely a risk, which is why I'm umming and ahhing over it instead of bringing him in Monday morning, but i think the argument for the move is sound

Pfft. What is this word "plan" that you speak of?

Start Luai (he plays last so you can't l**p him), cut Fermor (vs the storm and reliant on attacking stats) and l**p the other two.

Teddy is the god captaincy option and anyone who owns him should be captaining him.

I'm backing you Chewie, just nervous will miss Brown boat

Happy with 3 hookers on bench plus Carrigan
Depends on how they go with their scoring and future price rises if they get traded, Would love Cook/Mcinnes/Smith but realistic enough that may have to keep them
Nice to have options

Fogarty will fund any upgrades with Johnson/Hunt + bench depth as my POD's to the teams above.

Just having fun this year and it's nice to get a mix of players from different teams (Or players i like watching ) to keep all the games interesting

Apologies if it's already been answered, but Klemmer, MoFo or Tauk?

Might be a dumb question but what is the NRLFL tag in the top 2 guys supposed to be?

Mofo than Klemmer for me mate. Tauk could get a rest soon
