NRL Fantasy 2020 Part 79 - Ode to Aubbs, Get well soon champ

The site seems to be alive!

If Fotuaika is suspended, Lolo to a FRF.

If he escapes suspension, Lolo to Bateman or Matterson.

Lolo injury means I’m down to zero trades 

Rip season. You won’t be remembered fondly with many forced trades

A few options for Lolo replacement, with 3 trades left & 163k bank.

a) Lolo to Cook/CS9, move CM9 to 2RF

b) Lolo to Cleary, Siro to 2RF - may as well spend the bank and I'm going to have to play Siro anyway

c) Lolo to Matterson, Randall to Brimson/W Graham/Capewell. This at least leaves me with Talau, Fui, Siro, and HTF as emergencies when I inevitably run out of trades.

d) Lolo to Barnett, Siro to Murray. Leaves 0k spare. A sign?

C and D mean hoping that 1 trade is somehow enough for 4 rounds.

Thoughts?

Mofo took the plea, 1 week.

So I am missing Lolo. Mofo, and Haas for sure this week. Potentially missing Joliffe if he doesn't pass HIA protocols and apparently Fogarty picked up a rib injury along with Grant who may not be back yet. Could potentially have 10 fit players. Will have to trade Lolo but all the other guys will probably miss this week if any so don't really want to trade.

Really have to hope Grant and Randall get named this week.

This is why I'm improving depth this week. We know that Niu is gone for the season so he is gone for me this week. Taumalolo is probably the season, you don't bring him back for 1 game when your season is over

Anyone else held onto Grant this long?

Loomer wrote:Was set on Barnett beginning of last week but wanted DPP forward cover and went cheap with Ofa. Can do Lolo+Randall to Barnett+Lomax with 8k spare 1 trade left good cover and no need to play Farnworth every week plus Haas and maybe Aubo to come back.

Do it?

Was waiting for Capewell who might be back but who knows what happens when Kikau back from suspension?

Got lost in server down. Would you pull the trigger to get Barnett and Lomax with 1 trade left. Pretty much set when Haas back, decent cover and don't have to play Farnworth every week

Stop all the clocks, cut off instragram,
Prevent the doggies from scoring with sickening back slam,
Silence the viking clap and the bunnies crowd
Bring out the ute for a grand final lap of honour, let the fans scream loud.

Let aeroplanes circle moaning in the sky
Unless its raining because Inglis says they can't fly
Put crepe bows round the red necks of the cowboys fans,
Let the Roosters players wear black arm bands.

He played not for Norths, or Souths, just Easts and not Wests,
He was my Team list Tuesday and my Sunday rest,
My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song;
I thought Aubs career would last forever: I was wrong.

The refs are not wanted now; fire every second one
Pack up the scrum and dismantle the gold coast suns,
Pour away the dubliner and get your hand off your wood
For no other player will ever look as good.[/quote]

@Filthridden, that is outstanding.

Haha thanks mate, hoping at least a few people know the original or have seen 4 weddings and a funeral.

Best FRF option that isn't Carrigan or Haas? 2 trades currently left.

Klemmer best option but options like McGuire or Tolman give me some spare cash up my sleeve to ensure I have flexibility with my very last trade.

One of the Broncos biggest private stakeholders has come out and said Seibold is like a cancer at the club that hasn't been removed.

Pretty fucked up words, imagine all those people going through cancer and doing it bloody tough and then now they're getting compared to Seibold.

Awful.

Last trade will be Lolo to CS9 if back or DCE

That brings Granville 417k & Cotter 242k into the reckoning. Looks like Granville is preferred with the mins both played this round gone.

Luxury trades at this stage for most I imagine

Thought the forum retired in sympathy with Aubbs!

McGuire would be my pick if you can look past the suspension gauntlet.

With 5 rounds left, if you want a CTR I'd just punt on one you think can go on a run. Picking a cheaper CTR over Lomax could help if one of guns gets rested but has lost cash and then you have luxury to trade to better player

Yeah surely gets more stable higher minutes with Taumalolo out and is DPP.

JFH, Klemmer (if not suspended), Jacob Saifiti, Welch all looking like good options too.
