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

Teeth Eater wrote:Silver lining is Panthers play last so I guess Koro will be a popular loop enhancer?

Oh yeah I can't wait to loop Starling or Talau (actually would have to play 3 of Averillo/McIntyre/Talau/Starling if I don't trade)

Man never have a set of 2 trades fucked me so hard

Bench spot wasn't out of the realm of possibility.

Unless injured, Holbrook thinks otherwise.

Being a NZ international and experienced 170 game player for the Roosters gives you a pretty decent CV to start with

api out is interesting, I might carry Angus and instead use my 2nd trade this week on Api to CS9, I can afford him but not Cook or McInnes.

Not sure if I want to go a big gun like him or a cut price guy like Bunt or Jazz

Come back from injury

Beale has played multiple times for NZ and is the worst player in the NRL.

What has Liu done this season again?

Butcher looked gr8 in his cameo, reduced min stints. Not since though imo. Liu is highly underrated, tough as granite.

Butcher has better impact from the bench IMO.

So before trades my team is missing:

Api
Fermor
Williame
Niu

and

Butcher bench
O'Donnell probs gonna get 25-30 mins again

Hell yeah.

Thought about trading Api then I looked at this scores.

Agree with that re Beale. Cracked an unopened single malt on the news he was leaving the Sharks, for realZZZ.... best day since Pomeroy left.

Can't agree, he was pretty good in his two starts before injury and is a more mobile forward than Liu.

Wont score from the sideline junior

I have a feeling Koro may be getting a well deserved rest.

Can't find any info on Api but did see him reeling from a tackle on the weekend holding his arm, didn't think much of it other than a stinger. He ended up playing the 80 anyway

Likely just a week off as a precaution - and they're up against the Titans anyway so ideal for a rest. He's their most important player next to Cleary and they need him fit for more important games

Koro rest a sign of things to come, probably

With Mitchell still in the naughty corner, will trot out the cracking ctr pairing of Avo and McIntyre

Panthers site shows elbow injury

don't see a way im walking out this week without having 4 trades remaining... plan was to hold off on trading for a few weeks and would have held in pretty much any other circumstance but when you have Fermor,Api,Niu,Young,Butcher,Mata'utia something has to give.

Well the good news is that Averillo is back, which give me the option of trading in either Starling or Asi.
Not knowing if Young and Fogarty are taking the field is a bit concerning, I'll need to keep an eye on that late mail.
