NRL Fantasy Part 74 - The Mods are Asleep Edition

Ok, Robson definitely gone, then its one of Butcher/Young out too.

Inclined to hold the Butcher, as even if he drops off the bench I should get 35-40, whereas Young is all over the shop. Both really the start of my trading going off the rails tbh

This is all pending a normal TLT, instead of the one where Hunt gets a mystery injury and Ponga is rested or some other bullshit.

Any news on if the new coach likes haas playing 80 hahah

Gentle is a Siebold appointment, so unless he's gone rogue in the last few days, he will probably just stick to Siebold's instructions.

Haas really should be given a breather though.

You fellas waiting a week on teddy remember in fantasy rarely nothing goes as planned so if you cop an injury during the week that you need to address and have to then wait on teddy again would you be wishing you went a week early, something to consider

I've been waiting on him a week since round 5

Need to use at least one to upgrade Young. If i use another to upgrade Pearce I will only be trading out guns with long term injuries (3 + weeks)

Tough tough call then.

I can get Moses or Tevaga for Pearce. Either worth doing or hold?

The problem with these sorts of questions is there is no right answer unless you can predict the future.

Injuries, suspensions, Moses getting rested, Pearce continuing to score at the lower end of the scale, Pearce finding his mojo and scoring some tries, Tevaga can't maintain his current PPM, etc.

Apparently Staggs ex, who released the vid has been fucking Seibold. Hence seibold staying in Sydney for ‘family’ reasons.
It has all come out apparently, Boyd has removed himself from the leadership group, TPJ self sabotaged to get a few weeks away from the shit storm (good mates with Staggs), Siebs now completely on the outer.
The Weidler this morning has reported “Staggs ex no stranger to the broncos – she has been lined to another man at the club”

Take with a grain of salt please!

Let me guess, Bennett is seeing the mum

Apart from the very real possibility of receiving the wooden spoon, there is no reason to continue flogging Haas

Will be running with this team post trades (pending inevitable TLT shenanigans)

Koro
Haas Taupau
Tolo Jurbo Tevaga
DCE Moses
Lomax Mitchell
Tedy Ponga Pap

Carrigan Fogarty Brimson Randall

Siro Talau HTF Munster

5 trades, 21k

Obviously Munster comes back in when fit and I'll then loop Brimson and Talau/Siro as 17th man.

Fogarty probably my last upgrade, but not for a couple of weeks, so think I should be able to hold trades after this.

Any thoughts?

So Ivan is 20k lighter in the hip pocket for his comments.

Averillo available for selection this week after hip injury & Will Hopoate 1-2 weeks away from return

Centre Jake Averillo suffered a hip pointer injury during the side’s loss to the Melbourne Storm in Round 13. Averillo left the field after 16 minutes and failed to return. The 19-year old has improved over the last 48 hours and will be available for selection this week.

Will Hopoate will re-join the main squad this week as he continues to recover from an ankle syndesmosis injury. The outside back is still 1 to 2 weeks away from returning to play.

Would anyone consider a (sideways at best, slightly backwards at worst) Pap -> Brimson trade if the spare 200k meant Young -> CM9 and Fog -> Cook (one this week, one next)?

Only if you had at least 4 trades when ya done?

Yup, this plan would leave me with 4.

It's not horrible. But you don't have any other areas to get the coin?

Not too shabby. Brimson a bit of a risk, but Papy is bound to score a few 30's in the next few rounds.
Getting both CM9 and Cook is a good deal!
