NRL Fantasy 2020 Part 67 - You get an injury, you get an injury, and you get an injury! ☹

How the hell did cleary get 59? Captained him this week and was feeling so shit all game watching him..so relieved!

Will need to trade macca and one of cotric or croft. Thinking of getting mcinness in and randall or another cow for those two. Then moses in next week and that should be my team done for a while! Have 11 trades left atm.

I’m big on loyalty but there is zero chance I wouldn’t be signing with the Titans for the money when I see what is being paid more than him at the club. Understand these deals are legacy but still. Currently Broncos are dying, Titans same level. If it was someone like the Storm or old donkeys I’d be backing him to stay, not like he’s leaving behind a stable club just chasing bucks. Kid is what 19? Has to take the money on current climate

Doesn't seem like he will be leaving to the current Titans either. He is signing to play with MoFo, Tino, Herman. I know it’s a young pack but with the leftover money after they offload Boyd, Cartwright and James and pay Fifita they should be able to get an aging half/hooker to guide the ship around. Then Proctor is off contract and I think he wont be re-signed.

This signing could be the start of a final berth and hopefully a good 5-10 years for the Titans if they can get some old heads come in and some young talent coming through. Seems brighter days ahead for sure, whereas Broncos are in a world of hurt and I don’t think that will change for a few more years.

The only issue with this is, they are in danger of just turning into what the Broncos are now. Talked up as becoming the best pack in the comp, but get walked over every week because there's too many young forwards.

They needed to keep James around, and probably Proctor.

Think the Titans need to target an experienced half to partner Fogarty, could look at someone like Townsend from the sharks
Ricky Leutele would also be a good pickup for them for the rest of the year as well

Lol havent actually blocked anyone, just tempting.
Secret thread ? That would be the looping thread for me, haven't viewed it once.

They need better than Townsend. Wonder if Jimmy Maloney would do a couple of seasons, he'd be ideal to guide that pack around and provide some know-how. Super League is going to be screwed post-covid and as well as Maloney, Holbrook knows better than anyone who the good players are there.

Yes this is true. This is why I hope they can possibly sign someone like Alvaro/Soliola/Tolman/JBrom/Tamou/Lawrence/E.Taylor. All these guys are off contract at the end fo the year and will probably be fairly cheap. JBrom, Tamou and Soliola you might pay a little extra for.

(Not sure if any of these have already signed on further)

Blake Green is available. Can't wait to see the back of him.

He is a guy that really doesn't need the money, is playing for love of the game and loyalty to Roosters.

Green would do well at Titans to partner Fog and let Fog run the ball more. Brimson should be back hopefully without any drop off. Not sure if he plays FB as Thompson is decent. Maybe They play Brimson and Fog as the halves next season

You want an older experienced HLF who wont cost a ton. Just a quick look HLFs off next year are Foran, Cust, Jacks, Lino, Watson, Cooper Johns, Lam and Marshall.

Thin pickings at HLF. And HOK is just as empty of a position.

Has green been that bad? I mean barely noticed him which might say something.

Green been excellent for us, keeps us in games sometimes. Nothing wrong with a steady eddy

Speaking of Broncos, what happened to Haas this year? He's still racking up stats so fantasy players don't care, but his on field presence has basically disappeared.

When was the last time he actually physically dominated a team. Part of that is the whole team itself has gone to shit, and I know he's still pretty young. But I am surprised he is maintaining his fantasy scoring given the difference in on-field effectiveness. is it just because he's being made to play massive minutes?

I think Fog is coming along well for the Titans, I'm not sure what they do with the 6, maybe Brimson slots in there next year.

Interesting to watch the game yesterday, as time went on Fog grew into the game and started taking control, at the same time Ash faded into the background.

The problem is they won't get better than him without spending massive overs and they have spent a fortune on their forwards
If they trust Fogarty to run the show then Brimson could play in the halves (like Munster/Wighton/Luai) so maybe that is the other approach?

Edited: And MTB bet me to it haha

Obviously this will never happen, but would be good to see some of the games 'stars' go to some of the struggling clubs, like Titans, Warriors, Cowboys to help rebuild, take a pay cut and offer experience.

Like the opposite of what Cronk did. (not having a go at him).

Same deal for EPL, would be great to see De Bryne, Sterling, Messi or Penaldo slug it out for Norwich, Everton or Man U, one of the lower down shitty teams.

He's up and down but mostly down. My biggest issue is that he's playing instead of CHT
