NRL Fantasy 2020 Part 68 - Buy high, sell injured

Lone Scout Q&A:

With the Dragons' planning to play Ben Hunt at hooker and Cameron McInnes at lock when at full strength, and both players having already started in those roles several times this season, you can expect to see both of them become dual-position players next week (Hunt HLF/HOK and McInnes HOK/2RF).

No info on other DPPs

If he could come on after 5 minutes and play out the game that would be great Mary.

Fuck. I really wanted to know about Herbie.

Been prancing around the next suburb to where I work 2 minutes away amongst many other places around South East QLD.  I work with the public too so this is serious bullshit and they should be locked up.

Yeh i saw they were in Southbank. I eat lunch at the same noodle place a fair bit, bank records indicate I was there the day before they were..

Doesn't look good though, probably a lot of infections to come from this.

I think Young will play 50-55 mins the same as Horsburgh use to & I don't think Ricky will do the old switcharoo in positions i.e. Young to 2fr & Bateman to lock like he did with Horsbugh because Bateman is short on a gallop & they're playing in the heat & himidity of Townsville. There was also talk on the Raiders forum that Bateman & CHN could play half a game each but I can't see it although Bateman probably won't play the whole game & CHN might get 20-30 mins replacing Bateman. What I am a bit worried about re Young is Tapine on the bench & although I predicted 50-55 mins for Young it's an unknown exactly what will happen.

2 women went from Victoria to Queensland, and then went around spreading COVID.

If NSW is a couple of weeks behind Victoria, then Queensland is now just a couple of weeks behind NSW.

Where is NRL island going to be now? Can we get to Perth before its too late?

Very high chance NSW has its highest number of cases so far for this wave announced today. :/ (according to filths basic home modelling system inc.)

That's too close for comfort mate. If they haven't spread it somehow, it's a bloody miracle.

Yeah, don't see him playing less than 50.

What's the Captain percentages this week?

If I buy Randall I'll have to decide who to play out of:
(a) Young or
(b) Randall

Who would you play in the 17. Cheers.

Thinking of changing the (C) from CM9 to Cook or stick with McInnes?

Who would you play out of Sironen, Fogarty and Randall

Sironen can go in a loop - so I guess look at him tonight, and then decide if I want to play Randall or Fog instead

I am going to captain Cook tonight

Haas probably 2nd choice and Teddy 3rd
(don't own McInnes but he's be strong consideration if I did)

I would captain Cook

Top captaincy options

Payne Haas 24.35
James Tedesco 9.47
Jason Taumalolo 7.63
Damien Cook 4.76
Cameron Smith 4.74
Nathan Cleary 4.63
Harry Grant 3.47
Cameron McInnes 2.84
Kalyn Ponga 1.88
Daly Cherry-Evans 1.44
Mitchell Moses 1.19
Roger Tuivasa-Sheck 0.91
Cameron Murray 0.84
Apisai Koroisau 0.83
David Fifita 0.81

Would you rather use Niu to L**p Latrell & Talau, or Sironen & Luai?

Love the RTS captainers (0.91), at least doing better than the DFifi ones!

Randall or Sironen. Think I read somewhere that Mann would go into the halves at some point - if that's the case Randall might only get 50-60 mins so Sironen would be my pick.

More than half of teams are dead teams, so the captaincy information is basically worthless.
Only real information is that less people are captaining Haas than there used to be

MTB I believe can break it down by top 100/1000 but not current data only for last week.

From a whole comp point of view, main change appears to be people have jumped off Nathan Cleary (and to a smaller extent, Tedesco and Ponga) with Grant and McInnes the main new options.

Moses looks about the same this week to last week, so I assume its all dead teams putting the C on him and few, if any teams near the top.
