NRL Fantasy 2020 Part 72 - Bursting the COVID bubble

Off-topic: My missus is achey all over so we both got the COVID test today. I don't want to deter anyone because public health is of paramount importance, but holy Jesus is the test unpleasant.

My mate had both the test and the virus, said the test was worse than the virus(apart from 1 day where he was coughing up blood)

Unpleasant as in butt things?

Doesn't deter me at all tbh.

Must have my info wrong then.

If you were getting Lolo, just trade Grant to Lolo, done.

Cheers mate I just had a medical appt up the road and that’s what I thought to myself sitting in the waiting room.

Just seen your post now, great minds think alike mate.

Yeah re Souths I thought what you thought Murray to edge and Knight to lock or Koloa to edge but turns out it’s Johns.

It makes no sense to me and is loads of pressure on Johns.

Gonna be bloody wet tomorrow and could be a dogged forward battle and when I put it on paper it concerns me:

Flegler/Lodge
Turpin
Haas
Fifita
TPJ
Carrigan


Tatola
Cook
Tom
Johns
Sironen
Murray


I’m hoping the Broncos don’t care and don’t turn up. Hopefully TPJ and Fifita’s heads are elsewhere.

I’m backing Souths just 22-20 in a nail biter.

If your doctor has been administering Covid tests rectally... I think you need a new doctor

NBA are testing players DAILY.

The weather forecast is making me really want to captain Fifita, you'd think he'll get a few more TBs from people slipping off him

Loud noises Aubbs will play CTR tonight

Been flip flopping between captain Haas and Captain Cleary. Will end up being whoever it happens to be on at lockout

I might have to try looking at looping then.

‪Confirmation from the Knights Bradman Best requires surgery after suffering a syndesmosis injury. Won’t know exact recovery time til after surgery. Usually minimum 6 weeks return to play if just tightrope repair required, if more significant procedure (eg screws req’d) could be 12+ weeks‬

How does keeping one of the best locks in the game at lock make no sense

Agreed, edge forward probably easiest transition from age grade to NRL

I didn’t mean that exactly.

I just thought Koloa and Murray would be ahead of Johns as options to play there for a week whilst Su’a is out.

I hope Johns kills it though. His hands will be full though likely up against Fifita.

I’m using Niu as a loop for Aubbs at centre.

If Aubbs only scores say 22 points then I could move Hammer in for Latrell at WFB and move Latrell to centre.

Hunt
Haas Fotuaika
Taumalolo Brown Tevaga
Cleary Johnson
Talau Croker
Tedesco Ponga Papenhuyzen

Carrigan Young Sironen Starling
Joliffe Grant Wiliame Niu

4 trades, 305k and no f**king idea

Currently considering Joliffe to Brimson so I have 17 but if i get a centre I will have cover for every position. Please give me some much needed advice

Grant to McInnes. 3 trades and 6k left. Worth it or sacrificing team balance too much on one trade?

My loose plan for this and next week is to turn Norman, Grant, Robson and Butcher into Munster, McInnes, Moses and Taumalolo.

Will see how it goes and will leave me 3 trades for the last 6 rounds haha

Who are we all captaining?

I think I’m going back to safety in Haas. I do have an eye on Lolo though.

You've blown too many trades and arrived at a sub-par bench you might not be able to fix. In your predicament you might as well keep Grant and trade out someone else to a big gun since you have the cash to do so.
