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

Lino didn't work before and was bad for Pearce fantasy wise. Wasn't great for the team either.

Yeah it probably won't be Lino

My main worry is that Ponga will play 5/8 in attack (but still defend at fullback), with Hoy having the 6 on his back but playing fullback in attack.

Can you play 17?  I know I'm waaaayyy back in the ranks this year, but thinking short term pain for long term gain.  No doubt there are those in the top few hundred with quite a few trades and you would still want to be one of those in a couple of weeks.

Off course I can play 17 ... if Averillo, Siro and HTF count as players. Lolo and Niu my red dots. 388k ITB.
I was thinking of spending 1 trade on Twal for extra depth and keep 475k for the last trade in a couple rounds (upgrade Siro maybe?)

AOB said in the presser Ponga won’t play 5/8 he said Ponga is in great form at FB. He won’t be changing that up.

Damn, people stressing over having to maybe play HTF and the lad has been in my 17 for like 3 weeks now. Lmao fuck me

Same here, I've had to play Talau and HTF for the last few weeks, and likely have to play them AND Averillo this week

I know

I'm trying to avoid playing the emergency players and keep the momentum going.
This is the first time that I'm actually part of the nrlfantasy endgame so I'm trying to make the best of it.

Can't believe 5 rounds ago I was thinking of trading Friend haha how naive of me

Thoughts on what to do with this, 4 trades and 367k spare:

McInnes
Carrigan Taupau
Murray Yeo Lucy
Cleary Pearce
Latrell Crichton
Teddy Ponga Pap

Hunt Sironen Koloamatangi Hammer
Taumalolo MoFo Randall Niu

Would you guys captain Matto or Cleary? They both have insane bases so it's rather safe either way. I was thinking Matto due to having the upside of being more likely to score tries on that right edge if Moses gets back to peak form, however Cleary has demonstrated his ability to go 100 twice now. 

TU: Matto
TD: Cleary

Seems pretty obvious, but Tolo to anyone so you don't have to play Hammer.

I'd probably be looking at Lolo to either Cook or Bateman if it was me. Either that or hold a week and go Tolo to Haas if you can stomach a week of the hammer.

If Cleary goes down, I can just sell him to Haas and run Munster and Wighton as starting halves, with Hunt and Mann as spares.

But then you still have 200k in the bank with Welch instead of Klemmer...

Saving 200k for slightly lower scores is an alright move with your 10th last trade. It's a terrible move with your 2nd last trade

I'm pretty sure I know which way im going but just to generate some discussion would you go:
Taupau this week and get Haas for Butcher next week or get Klemmer/Twal this week and Haas for Fogarty next week?

Basically Klemmer/Twal and Butcher vs Taupau and Fogarty?

With Haas back next week you may look at holding money to allow for Lolo to Haas,

It would be good to not have to play all of Siro Koala and Hammer but will have to wait and see TLT + Judiciary and if Randall and Mofo are named and ok to play

I'm not sure of the make up of your team, but I can't imagine a scenario where I'd be moving Fogarty along if I was an owner, unless he's injured?

Even Butcher... Is everyone else due back this week? Guess I'll find this stuff out this afternoon.

been mulling over a few options.

I'll probably go Taumalolo to Cook. Which leaves me with 1 trade and no FRF cover, I'll probably upgrade Siro to Twal in a round or 2.

Hunt
Carrigan, SST
McInnes, Yeo, Lucy
Cleary (c), DCE
Lomax, Niu
Pappy, Ponga, Teddy

Cook, Moses, Fogarty, Nikorima
Siro, Farnworth, Averillo, HTF

I have a feeling I am going to have a really good week this week.

Who is everyone trading Lolo to?

Matterson/Barnett/Hunt/CM9/Cook/Harris are all on my shortlist.

I am thinking Barnett or Matterson to ensure that I go Lucy to Haas next week.

The Panthers hooker has been diagnosed with a grade one calf strain.

Although relatively minor in nature, the injury will see Koroisau miss this Saturday's 'sold out' clash with Wests Tigers.

His potential availability for the club's Round 17 game against Brisbane Broncos will be determined early next week.

EDIT: Hurts but hopefully only a week! Means have to decide what one to play and what two to loop? Sironen v Parra/Herbie v Roosters/Cotric v Bulldogs

Thinking of playing Sironen as he is a 2RF and then loop Herbie and Cotric

Need to go Lolo to a frf this week then trade Haas back in next week.
