NRL Fantasy 2020 Part 63 - Stalling of the Robson train, Choo Poo

Only update is that it's a grade 2 with a partial tear. NRLPhysio posted a table in which players have had the same injuries and it has their recovery time in there, most players were around the 4 week mark.

Thanks m8. Looking at their draw, the 3 week mark is the Roosters-Storm game, and I reckon he'll get brought back for that if he's close. I think I'll hold then, at least this week, since I don't want to burn my trades earlier than I need to.

Fucking balls.

Cleary's monster score got me out of a $$ H2H loss I had no right to get out of, but the week is tarnished by the fact that I traded out HTF this week to get Hunt. Stoked with Hunt... just used the wrong dead cow, who's now not so dead. The fist got left behind and the elbow made contact with my ballsack, just because I had Averillo to trade out at the same value, but I never see late mail over the weekend and assumed Averillo would play and earn more money than HTF. Could prove to be a costly call.

Anyway, scraped together a 985 with Niu, Talau, Field and Papy in my 17, so very happy with that.

If I'm not mistaken, Cleary was a partly popular captain option this weeK? Well done if you did that one - massive.

On a side note, and something I forgot to mention last night... but for some silly reason my team is stacked with Dragons. McInnes, Hunt, Kerr and Lomax, to be exact. There were several moments last night where three of those guys were involved in one tackle. Three points in a single moment. That's some sexy action.

Anyway, that's about all I have for the moment. I want to plant my lips of Cleary's chin for saving my Fantasy weekend.

Paul green said postgame Morgan is at least 3 weeks away. Drinkwaters injury was originally 4-6 I believe so both are still a fair way from returning

Daejarn looked a lot better than Drinkwater has recently. Will be lucky to get that spot back.

The average when starting is with 80 minutes though. Today he only played 51 and it seemed to benefit the cowboys side. If he plays 80 every week hes 100% a keeper but at his price tag 50 mins isn't good enough unfortunately

Totally agree. His price tops out this week, unless he gets back to 80 minutes, but I don't see that happening in a hurry. Could even easily lose the starting spot to Cotter.

988 rank went from 2810 to 3024, would have been a great score if not for Leilua/Cook/Ponga/Cleary

Yeah, tough gig this week. At the moment I've scored the exact same this and last week.

Last week, 985 moved me up about 100 spots to 527. This week, with 985, I've gone back about 200 spots to 722. Rough.

Am I the only person playing that didn't crack 900?

How many weeks did Latrell get

Oh, I see. Good luck with that.

I thought I had the intestinal fortitude to be an owner, but soon discovered I did not. Never again. But! I hope he serves you better than he did I.

To help enforce your decision, I got rid of Latrell and HTF this week. One of the two has already rubbed my face between his buttock cheeks, and I have no doubt the other will do the same when he is un-suspended. He's a sure thing.

He’s only scored once all season, I’ll back a purple patch and hopefully get on the big scores mate. Already made a howler of a trade getting Milford in this could be another

Well I had a very good Sunday. Pre lock out I scored 1074. Yeo only getting 55mins if this is the new norm that’s a big concern as there will be 40’s scores upcoming if this continues.

So pre lock out my rank has had a big jump from 726 to 424 which I’m quite stoked about. 424 I believe is the highest I’ve ever been.

I’ll be looking at moving Magoulias onto Starling this week.

A potential second trade would be to bring Hunt in but I’d have to wait til TLT to see who I’d bring him in for......

I am a Latrell owner so I will look at playing Niu this next week til Latrell is back the week after, even if Niu only scores 11 again I’ll take it.

Good job mate, keep going!

Are we calling this the Rabbit Run?

Hurry up lockout. Some muppets need to go

Fantasy goggles off lads. Sure Asi looked as good as you would want from a first game rookie, but it's Clifford's spot that is in danger not Drinkwater. Since 2018 Drinkwater has contributed(either try or assist) to 15.2% of Cowboys tries in games he has played. For reference Tedesco is at 15.3%, Foran at 15.2% and Keary at 14.8%. Ponga is at 16.6% for Newcastle

Once Morgan and Drinkwater are back I wouldn't be surprised to see Drinkwater at fullback where the team can take advantage of his ball playing, without having to deal with his missed tackles. Would leave Morgan and Asi in the halves

Is that including tries he caused. He didn't go to Cowboys until mid-2019

Includes 1 game at the Storm in 2018

Wouldn’t mind a decent cow popping up this week.

Will probably be happy to go tradeless again if Robson > Hunt wasn’t a possibility

6 trades remaining and i want yo double up again this week. It's getting rough.
