NRL Fantasy 2020 Part 71 - zero trades left

Granville on bench for Cowboys

Brought in Twal and Randall last week instead of Jurbo and Murray.
Playing about 14 men this week.
Season done.

I will be lucky to field 17 this week. Matterson, Twal, Papenhuyzen, Smith, Grant, Randall.

Suddenly I have no fit hookers. How did that happen.

Early Matterson to Lolo trade looking likely; wish I sold him last week and held Koro. Hopefully we get some Grant news on his injury.

Also watch Talau not get DPP cause he's picked at CTR.

He's the 5th different lock the Dragons have used this year.

Would you be willing to bet a trade in him staying there with big minutes long term

Surely Harvey can hook a brother up

Granville named at 14 for everyone on Reece Robson watch

That one Harry Grant non owner in the top 1000 must be cheering right now

Get fucked fantasy gods, go fuck yourself

16 playing

What a year this is

Assuming Pap is just rested given Hynes played alright last week and its Storm against last place.

Concerning about Grant though (and Twal for whoever got him in for 1 week)

What's the news on Twal? 1 week?

At least most the outs are fantasy relevant so everyone will be struggling... I think I will be lucky to field 16 this week.

Grant/Papy/Flanno/Randall means I have to sell one of them to have 17 warm bodies.

Randall can get the fuck out of my side then. Any mail on how long the other three are out for?

Doesn't look like it's filtered through yet, but from the fantasy analysis article:

Players such as Tommy Talau (CTR/WFB), Cameron McInnes (HOK/2RF), Ben Hunt (HLF/HOK), Tesi Nui (CTR/WFB), Jack Murchie (FRF/2RF), Luke Thompson (FRF/2RF) and Herbie Farnworth (WFB/CTR) are available in a second position as of this week.

Does Thompson become more enticing with DPP?

Didn't see that coming...might be able to scrape in with 17 this week

So the big question is - how long will Ben Hampton stay at five-eighth for the cowboys

$212k DPP

He is perhaps the cashout I should have taken last week instead of Randall

NRL Physio:

Harry Grant - knee injury
Alex Twal - minor rib injury
Ryan Papenhuyzen - rested
Bradman Best - syndesmosis injury
Ryan Matterson - concussion?
Kyle Flanagan - unknown
Grant & Best still being assessed/no word on recovery. Twal sounds likely back next week.

Do teams get in trouble for "resting" players, like NBA crack down on teams for load management. I know Roosters are the kings of load management but are they ever saying a player is getting "rested" or does it come across more like niggling injuries blah blah blah

I don't think it's as big of a deal in the NRL.

The NBA mostly gets pissy about stars being rested in nationally televised games, since the network $ and sponsors bring in an insane amount of money. The fans are a bit more rabid too and paying higher ticket prices for an NBA game than NRL and losing 1-2 stars from an NBA team is a bit more of a hit with smaller squads and less players on the court compared to NRL teams.

And I was finally going to play Herbie at CTR... now he has to fill in for Papy

Team is fucked with CS9,Matterson,Grant and Randall out. Got NFI what to do
