NRL Fantasy 2020 Part 64 - Anyone Got Any More of Those 4 Trade Rounds edition

Trading out Lowe for Hetherington which gives me 290k itb. 

TU: JWH > Carrigan (133k itb)
TD: Clark > Hunt (2k itb)
Comment: Save trade

8 trades after Lowe > Hetherington

Edit: 4th option I'm strongly considering to maintain a decent bank is JWH > RCG. If his minutes continue he's very underpriced.

Koro to........

McInnes, Cook, Cleary, Matterson or Smith? Might as well get one of the 800k+ guns instead of going cheap.

Depends what position you need to shore up. I'm going Cleary because I need a gun half alongside Flanno, and Cleary is averaging more than even Haas. In fact, the top two averaging players that have played more than one game are McInnes and Cleary, though Mcinnes is on the decline.

I heard a prognosis of 3-5 for Angus, however haven't heard what the situation is with Api. Can someone fill me in. I have only 5 trades left which is demorilising.

3-6 weeks according to NRL Physio

The injury update was a couple of weeks until he could do conditioning again

Video from Penrith today said at least 2 weeks (implied it might be longer)

How many minutes will the warriors play Jazz? I’d be hoping for 65-70 if I were to pick him up.
Just hope they like jazz as much as I do.

Points are more important than mins

Last year his lock average was 62 in 67 mins and you'd think his mins will trend up as he gains better match fitness

With koro out I can go Koro and Luai to starling and a centre

I was initially looking for the cheapest option possible but with the extra cash I will probably go anyone under 400k

My options are:

Croker - a bit more expensive and paying what I am getting for so I don’t really want to but at least he is safe
Baden - burnt me last year with a -8 which lost me my H2H semi final,
Brenko - ive seen the pain some owners of him have gone through and I would prefer to stand and watch from the sideline
Dugan - glass
Hunt - paying for what I am getting and that isn’t much
Marsters - any chance he gets back to his best? If so he is largely underpriced
Blake - dame as Hunt but more boom/bust
.
.
.
All of the others are similar in that they are not great most have good JS but their scoring isn’t great

I like the look of marsters for his potential and if it doesn’t work out he should lose much cash. If I do that I have 693k itb for next week so if tevaga gets 65 and young gets 35 that would leave me with 440k which would let me trade Fermor to anyone 786k down so I could get anyone from Twal down or Joliffe (if he gets 35) to anyone 873k or under so anyone from Bateman down

Warriors were thrashed last week, but Tevaga still scored great.

His play for the last try was pure filth. I was so demoralised with scoreline and that had me cheering. Almost want to postpone other trade plans and get in because of that

If I was to get a Starling/Siro this week then my next 4 trades could be

Api > Tevaga
Luai > Starling (leaves 300k)

Butcher > Munster

Leaves me 7 trades and a team of

Grant
Haas, Mofo
JTurbo, Murray, Tevaga
DCE, Munster
Crichton, Talau
Teddy, Ponga, Pappy

Robson, Carrigan, Leilua, Norman
Starling, Paix, HTF, Niu

Still feels really under strength. Disappointing

I'm going with Cleary. He just frightens me more not owning him than the others. Honestly think he'll get another 100 before the season is done.

Mikaele out (knee). Clark in.

Part of me wonders whether Tevaga is only starting because Blair was dropped, and if Blair picks his act up he'll be back in the starting side.

Tevaga is great for fantasy, not sure hes a starting lock though. Said the same last year.

I still want to get him

Jai Field omitted from 19 man squad

Alright lads I am sitting 13th and this one week could define my season. I have both of Angus and Api and I need one trade to bring in Hunt for Fogarty. Who would you let go and who would you hold when looking at Api and Angus as the second trade.

I've got both and I'm holding Angus.

Surely If Blair picks up his act he'll come in at prop for Hetherington, instead of sending a samoan international back to the bench?

Damn

Pain will be pissed.

Was it a knee Mikaele came off with a few weeks ago as well WT2K? Looked like he'd be out for a bit but then backed up the next week; can't remember, but went up the tunnel after just coming on in the game I'm thinking of.

Yep I agree. If you dont have Cleary and Teddy over the next few weeks it feels like you will be just making up the numbers. I have neither unfortunately but the Api news means i'll be trying to get Cleary in
