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

Fed up with centre carnage, i was planning to just run Talau for the rest of the season. Then I saw the Tigers late draw. Really hoping for Latrell to lose some more cash or SMat to play a few off the bench then start. Matchups arnt everything, but god damn that’s a tough run for a winger

Team for this week after trades

Crichton to Hunt
Young to Starling

6 trades 392k bank

Cook
Haas Taupau
Yeo Matterson Sironen
Hunt Cleary
Talau Averillo
Lomax Teddy Ponga

Grant
Starling
Luai
Carrigan

Clune
HTF
Koro
Niu

The cash will go towards a Luai or Clune upgrade next week. Thoughts?

CS9 can prob put the slippers on and have a cup of tea after half time on Friday.

TU: Pearce + Niu > Cook + Starling
TD: Luai + Niu > Tevaga + Starling

Not worth the time Pookus, what are you going to do, get some other centres 33 instead of Talua's 22 ?

Robson is a rookie coach. He will learn eventually.

They will give them to us next week when we don't need them quite as much

Does anyone know anything about the korisau injury yet

Not a sausage.

Only 2 red dots after TLT; Niu and Koro. Niu is annoying given I only brought him in a couple of weeks ago but I'll just consider him an early cash-out and if Broncos keep losing there's a good chance he returns at some point. Will hold Koro unless there's news about him being out for 3+ weeks then I might look to move him on to Tevaga.

Only trade for the week at this stage will be Fog to Hunt leaving 7 trades left with 16 "keepers" and coverage everywhere except WFB (coverage locked into CTR so not an issue if the out is known about ahead of time).

Seems that way to me if you're looking for a cash out who'll score OK for a while.
He's not base price but he'll go well as cover for Koro this week at least and can hopefully cover my 2RF for those ten weeks. (touch wood)

Is anyone having a crack at the banner in place of LB or does ol' filth have to step up again?

I think Falcon is taking a crack at it mate
Should have jumped in earlier

does anyone have a good picture of Luciano leilua playing for the tigers for the banner?

* Fantesi Niu - Popular cheapie ruled out for season with a wrist injury.

Would Niu to Averillo be a good trade? Basically the same price so it's just a straight swap. Don't really wanna spend 600k on Lomax or 500k on Best so was just thinking of getting averillo and riding some low scores whilst hopefully getting some 30's. Thoughts?

Your link doesn't mention anything about Niu. Where did you see the info about him being out for the season?

In the comments.

LOSERS
* Apisai Koroisau – Shock omission with an elbow injury. Already the third most sold player coming into teams day, Koroisau will be the most sold by the time the Panthers take the field. Has officially peaked after making $211,500 this year and the trade to Damien Cook and Cameron Smith is on.
* Angus Crichton - Currently the most sold player. Out for at least three weeks with a knee injury.
* Fantesi Niu - Popular cheapie ruled out for season with a wrist injury.
* Beau Fermor - Last week's most popular buy has been dropped altogether.

Someone posted some links early on in the thread, I think they were instagram pics from somewhere? I will see if I can source a few for you.
