NRL Fantasy 2020 Part 84 - Spendng our last trade on a CTR

After cursing my luck all week the resurrection of talau pregame and then him scoring a try and a decent 39 has let me take my grumpy pants off for once

If I take Siro’s score I’m 276/5 so can’t complain (yet)

Wish there was a way to take siro over Crichton. The rest of my team is capable of a 50, tough one

Sold Siro this week to get a WFB.

Maybe I should have sold a spud like Clune and bought a cheaper WFB but oh well.

Captain Cook worked out, ill take that.

Did anyone else watch the channel 9 coverage tonight and see how much they banged on about the long ball out to Kepaoa that he dropped ? Made it sound like it was planted on his chest and how he should have caught it, adding numerous times that he is learning a lesson tonight etc lol.

1/39 for me, thanks to my hero Talau. I wasn't expecting him to play and definitely wasn't expecting him to jag a try.

Hopefully Teddy C can fire for a third week in a row, but if he fails then I deserve it

some quality comments from @Snatchpato earlier

Gus Gould. Fuckwit.

Similar boat with Pearce or hunt for me. Thinking Pearce

Shame I ruined Hunt by bringing him in 2 weeks ago. Was hopingthe Britain experiment would be a 1 week effort.

TU take Siro’s 51 over Pearce
TD over Hunt

Thanks in advance

Same position here. I think I would take the 51 over Hunt. Hunt will likely have 15-20 minutes of rest which will drop his score and Pearce should take on more with no Ponga, albeit in a bad week against the Roosters.

Apologies to the great Milch for pimping Brooks over Siro.

Very happy with Talau tonight - nice job, young fella.

McIntyre doing exactly what he's there to do too.

My one issue is the same as many here - what to do with Siro's score. I was also looking and Pearce, Starling and Hunt but just looking a bit more in depth, I think I just found my man. I could swap Carrigan and Taupau around and drop Taupau to my NPR. Would that he the best option? Even Jurbo's been rubbish the last few weeks too.

I think Jurbo more likely to hit a 50 whereas Taupau probably dishes up another 40. Drop Taupau? I think I will.

It was the match up that probably had me leaning to ditching Pearce. I can’t see my boys scoring too many but Pearce will be involved for sure

If I’m considering not playing Hunt I’d consider trading him

@snatchpato has been quietly working his way into form and is peaking at the right end of the season

Don't trade me in and ruin me!

2/90 with Siro and Talau. Will take that everyday from those two.

Can take Siro if I drop one out of Hunt, Munster, Fotu, Fog.

The amount of times he mentioned something to do with footy in the 80’s is beyond me. All he does is talk down about the game.

Feel free to use this if we want to

Well I’ve got no voice left, I used it all out at BankWest, ugly but a win is a win Souths clocked off after 30mins and the Tigers played jungle ball with enormous desire. I was leading the South Sydney chants!

3/153 for me, Lucy 54, Siro 51 and Murray 48.

3 trades. Go Pappy to Peachey or RTS or just take Talau's 38?

Depends how you are performing this week for what you need at that spot. Taupau normally gets to a 50 season average by putting out ~4 weeks of 40 then a ceiling game every few weeks. He once had a score of 104 without any tries. I'd probably bench one of Pearce, Starling Hunt over Taupau if I owned him.
