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

When Morgan/Drinky is back do we reckon Asi would replace Leumelu at centre?

Same here.

I may just not bother getting Hunt in.

If Murray is named in the second row I may go Murray to Hunt.

That's possibly just as sideways.

I’m confident Lucy easily outscores Rudolf.

Including this week, Lucy has averaged 52 this season. 60 minutes at lock for Rudolf likely goes close to that for a lot less cost.

I thought I heard Sorensen is ok with his knee. More likely Rudolf gets 45 maybe 50mins.

Thats what I am thinking if he keeps performing, or Drinkwater fullback, Asi at 6, HTF wing.

I can't get Ponga this week (or maybe even next week) unless I do something mad like trading out Pearce. Unless he succumbs to that knee, though, he'll probably be a keeper in my 17.

Gotta say, in your situation, don't think I'd be doing that trade. All things being equal, they could score very similar, in the same position. I have Hunt and Cleary but no third wfb.

I will happily accept 2 trades as compensation for Robson's missing points

You can have a TB.

There's a new coach, no one would have a clue

With Niu and Latrell out I could bring in Asi which means I have 17 or I could just play with 16.

I’m torn as I really wanted Starling. Not sure bringing both Asi and Starling in is wise with 10 trades and 9k spare:

Current team is:

Grant
Haas MoFo
Lucy Murray Yeo
Cleary Pearce
S. Crichton Niu
Teddy Ponga Pap

Koro Carrigan Taupau Young
B. Sironen Latrell Hammer Magoulias


So could do Magoulias to Starling/Asi.

Or I could trade Niu out as well which means I’d get both Starling and Asi.

I guess a a fair bit of it depends on if Siro gets a starting spot or not.

There is literally no idea that any of us could know any of this. Coach has been gone for 24 hours and the club is obviously in a shambles. Asi has played one game and he looked good but how many times have we seen strong debuts yet the player goes on to be a spud scorer or they fade into oblivion.

Trading in Asi is a punt and will fill a hole this week at least. Depending on Drinkwater, Holmes, Morgan etc. anything after that is a luxury if you ask me.

Potential Criteria:
Subjective: the defender stops someone in the action of scoring a try

-Objective:
- the defender stops someone one on one within 5m of the try line
- defender/s stop someone over the try line


OR my personal favourite: If the commentator says the words "try saver" in their commentary

I think it should be added for no defenders in front i.e. chase downs during length of field tries. Definitely a way to give it clear criteria. Just annoys me when everybody subjectively feels like that saved a try

Yeah, alternatively, I can go straight Pearce to Ponga in 1 trade but that moves Luai into starting half and no cover. Means I have 4 WFB with Nofo.

Pearce's knee looked okay last week to me, it was his awful defence that pissed me off.

At this rate, Magoulias could retire from NRL and you would still be holding onto him in the hope he gets a game. Just get rid of him

I brought him in a few weeks back for precisely that, ideally he was a playable centre every week, plus his dpp and maybe make cash. Perfect. Genuinely not interested in wasting 4 or 5 hundred grand in this position, absolutely no benefit.

Not that it means much in terms of fantasy but he's about to sign a two year extension

If I ever meet John Morris, I'm going to explain the turmoil he has created with not playing Mago in his 17. He needs to be made aware and held accountable.

Luciano has a guaranteed role in the team. Rudolf played more than 50 minutes for the first time last week.

If I had Rudolf, I'd happily play him, but trading him in right now is a massive risk

Oh, we are talking about trading Rudolf in? lol fuck no, that's crazy.

It's back by popular demand for season 2020

exactly, he's 19 yr old. kid comes in, first game they are super hyped, have a great debut. its hard to maintain level week in week out. it doesnt mean he's a bad player but its not uncommon for them to then spend some time back in ressies and hone their skills.

Mouth starting to water at the potential naming of Milf in the one. Juicy price point, has anyone lost more money? Get in my team.
