NRL Fantasy Part 76

White Lightning wrote:I think not doing Young to Barnett will haunt me more than selling L. Leilua lol. I could of done Young to Barnett with 1 trade now I can't so will have to use 2 trades. Atm I'm looking at:
Young out - Barnett in
For my 2nd trade it's either:
B. Sironen out - Fermor in or
B. Sironen out - Liddle in

However if Haas is out for 3 games my trades will change as I'll sell Haas.

More than likely looking at the first trade myself.

I wouldn't trade Liddle in, no way in this world.

1006 and improved a few ranks to 115th for me. Could have been a great score with someone better than Talau. Haha, I was never going to take HTFs score though so all good.

Don't think McInnes plays 80 this week.

Dragons whoop the Broncos, McInnes gets an early mark.

Nearing the end of the road for me - only 1 trade left after the below trades

Young > Bateman
Aubusson > Moses

McInnes
Haas Taukeiaho
Taumalolo Bateman Yeo
Johnson Moses
Crichton Talau
Ponga Tedesco Papenhuyzen

Carrigan Hunt Munster Rudolf
Luai Fermor Wiliame Niu

17th man can be looped

Will need to put Rudolf into the 13 until Haas is back and play both Luai and Fermor (hopefully gets a start)

My initial plan was to spend my cash on upgrading Fogarty to a gun at some stage, but the Fog has been scoring at keeper level the last few rounds and with the Titans improving I'll be looking at keeping him around until the end.
I'll probably use the cash to improve my depth a bit to cover for those short term injuries/suspensions/rests without having to play someone like Siro or HTF in the 17.

Looking back at my trade history, that 4 trade round in 8 round really sticks out.

E Katoa -> DCE. Tick, would do again.

Drinkwater -> Niu. Drinkwater had to go, Niu looked like the sensible option. Shame it left a long-term red dot.

Paix -> Talau. Since round 8 Talau has only outscored Paix by 69 and netted an extra 80k. Maybe just barely worth it? Wish I'd just gotten Herbie for 50k cheaper.

Leilua -> Young. Worst trade of the season, just beating Friend to Randall. Enough said. Thought I was looking at a 5 point downgrade per week to free up an extra ~150k. Too depressing to even figure out how much Leilua has outscored Young by since. Let me go JTB to Taupau the next week, but still not worth it.

Would have probably only done those first two if not for the extra trades that round. Fuck u Harvey Norman.

No hunt??

Don't own Hunt. He would be in consideration but probably the most likely to serve up a stinker

Was grabbing his thigh/hammy several times last game. Thought he was going to go off on 12pts. Wouldn't go near him as C

I sold Lucy and bought Cook the 4 trade round. I believe Lucy has outscored Cook by 21pts in that time to put in perspective

Do you feel like you're bouncing back after the set-back with injuries?

I did not watch the game - thanks for the info.

Surprised no one's taken issue with a certain Haas related usename yet.. but it is not ok to refer to Sanjey ??

I'm another one who made his worst decision that week

Trade 2 and Bonus Trade 3.
Leilua -> Robson
Rudolf -> Young

But had the money to just go Rudolf -> Robson and hold Leilua

As far as Leilua -> Cook goes, I don't think that was a bad trade at all. Leilua had 5 consecutive 40s. His two pre-COVID games were 50s... but with tries.

So it looked like upgrading a 45ish player for a 65ish player.

Whereas my trade was a 45ish player for a best case scenario 45ish player just to save 150k. Cash over points, which is almost always wrong.

If you get offended by my name you have no sense of humour. All fun and games at the end of the day

Nah feel like I'm treading water. I feel like I've got a competitive 17 if they are all on the park, but they haven't been and I think it's unlikely that they will, so I expect to keep treading best case scenario or flame out completely worst case. How about you mate?

What would you guys do with my team? 3 trades, 34k ITB, rank 1744 and falling fast
