No Worries wrote:It's been mentioned but to save anybody asking

Sea Eagles star Tom Trbojevic has suffered another hamstring injury and will miss the rest of 2020.
WWOS and probably the rest of the internet by now

Michael Chammas @ SMH is reporting its just a delay, scar tissue, and return has been pushed back. Round 15-17 return

On the edge? I would have thought closer to 40. Depends if there is any bench/Murray/edge swapsies.

Ahh righteo. Does he usually come on in the middle when he plays off the bench?

Kinda hoping he can just power his way to 500k before I can cash him out

I just realised that I am currently coming outright 2nd In L1 (with a huge matchup against league leader MTB next week!), but I am only 10th overall in that league. H2H really is a lottery of who you happen match up against on any given week. I suppose if you were really into your league rather than overall there would be room for gamesmanship by checking the team you are playing that week and nullifying players with your trades etc. I hadn’t even looked at the league until now, so it was a huge surprise to find myself doing far better than my fantasy season would indicate.

Yeah pure luck I think with H2H - I don't actually look at it at all.

Api is averaging 62. Cook is averaging 69. Whether that's sustainable or not I don't know. You can't get Cook's 95 and 100 score, they've already passed. Seems sideways unless Api is out for more than one game. Anyone have an update there?

Someone who watches closer will know, but from what I've seen, it's mostly been middle when he comes on. Still could be for all we know, if Wayne puts Murray on the edge for all or part of the game come game day. But on the edge in 65 minutes I would think 35-40. Mostly speculation really.

I own Murray and don’t like the sound of that too much haha

and apparently Jake Simpkins in their development squad has big wraps on him. Don't think Walters out of position would be #1 HOK next year

Simpkin (no 's') is a sure thing to become a regular first grader so he can join Robbie Farrah as Tigers hooker whose name is consistently misspelled

Kevvy would be good for the cows! Need someone like that.

(As just another muppet on the couch), I'm yet to see anything from Kevy to suggest he'd be a good NRL coach. I realise that while commentating he is putting forward a completely different demeanor to how he'd coach, but jeez he has some strange ideas.. and some of the selections for QLD are just plain odd.

My team before trades

Grant
Haas Mofo
RFM Jurbo Crichton
DCE Cleary
Crichton Talau
Teddy Ponga Pappy

Friend Koro Carrigan Robson
Niu Fogarty Bayley HTF

Like ms I am wary on Hunt, not sure how sustainable his current scoring is
Thinking Crichton out for Tevaga or Taumalolo and then Robson to almost anyone.
Might hold Robson for a week, just to see what new coach does. But if I make Angus - Tevaga I can swap Robson for literally any player (probabyl Cook, or someone like Taupau and have a big fund to cover injuries)

RFM playing like a keeper so might not even need to upgrade him but think i will if I can get the funds

Niu is a permanent red dot for me now, shame Broncos play early almost every week but will loop with him when possible.

Downgrading Fogarty my only real source of extra cash, unless HTF can put up a few more killer scores

You look very well positioned moving forward. If you can afford it I think Bateman will be incredible in the back end, but would absolutely wait a week to see that his head is in the game and that he will be playing the same role

Sironen and HTF look on the way to making a bit more cash. If you need to move on RFM later you have plenty of cash to do it

Liverpool_Bulldog wrote:If Sironen gets say 60-65 minutes what scores should we be hoping for. 45-50s?

Lowe has been playing 80 on that edge and scoring mid 30s sometimes Lowe 40s. However Sironen runs harder and looks more like breaking tackles so will get some extra points in MG and TB I would think. Might miss a couple more tackles than trusty Lowe, but I think will more than make up for it in the odd try and LB. 

I'm thinking 40-45 consistently if he plays 60 minutes.

Should I be punting Tohu or keeping ? 10 trades remaining.

Even on the edge should be good for a 50 odd average. If Tevaga cops another injury he is straight back to a 60 average. I'd hold him if you own him

He will obviously just be a backup player in case of emergency. Kinda like this week haha

Tom Turbo got injured in round 6, and they said then it was going to be about 8 weeks out, which puts his return at.. round 15.

But now he's been 'delayed', and the return has been pushed back to.. round 15-17.

This just news for the sake of news?

Pretty much set on Hunt and Sironen in this week. Can loop Sironen and Hetherington until Angus back.

Mann and Clark out most likely unless Api out for several weeks

Gday lads,

Before i embark on it today, has anyone done an ownership % of the top 50? im ranked 41 so was planning on seeing what my best moves are to make up ground. But if the work has already been done then that would save a few hours of manual data entry haha.

im hoping those above me have 5 red dots following tlt as well !

Team after trades:

Grant,
Haas, Carrigan
Lolo, Brown, Lucy
Cleary, Hunt
Lomax, Crichton
Teddy, Ponga, Pappy

Tevaga, Pearce, Joliffe, Koro,
Starling, Averillo, KOD, HTF

9 trades and 109k ITB. Ranked 114

Who should I be targeting moving forward? Need to be more careful with trades from here on.
