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

I'd be tempted to use it mate.

Any ideas what I can do? I haven’t looked yet. My Nanna has dementia and it’s getting worse between seeing to her as best I can and working I haven’t had any time to look at options this week haven’t been sleeping well either. My Aunty is moving back from London in 4-5 weeks to be her carer.  Off to work soon should have a bit of time tonight and tomorrow on the train to Nanna I guess I can squizz over things!

I guess I could trade out Randall to someone under 493k or do Pap to RTS?

Anything else you see that I’m missing?

Team is:

McInnes
Haas MoFo
Lucy Murray Matterson
Cleary Pearce
Crichton Peachey
Teddy Hammer Pap

Hunt Carrigan Taupau Siro
Koala Ponga Randall Niu

I would say Averillo with the Hammer facing the Storm

Thanks mate.  Yeah, was thinking Peachey but starting to warm to RTS.  He's been on fire.

i’ve got them both. RTS can be a hard watch from a fantasy perspective (not IRL) because it’s often one big play that makes or breaks his fantasy score. On the other hand, i am a bit worried about Peachey’s role going forward with Arrow back.

Looks like your team is only really missing one in the back five and maybe a better 17th man. Does the extra $90k between Peachey and RTS help to fill one of those gaps?

That's no good mate. A tough situation by the sounds.

You could do Paps to RTS yourself or trade Randall to someone playable this week that will offer you cover.

Yeah she’s all of a sudden getting lost when she goes out and ending up being out for hours not knowing where she is but finally finding a way home, shitting and peeing her pants not showering, forgetting to eat and then saying she’s eaten, making up all this weird shit up it’s very sad, still she knows who I am which is at least something. She keeps telling me we are going to Easts Leagues for a meal and I keep repeating myself Nanna you know I won’t go in there as I’ve said to you all along.......... I refuse to enter that joint always have always will!

Thanks mate I’ll have a look tonight.

I might do Randall to someone as it gives me more depth, probs a centre under 498k.

Im doing my second ever loop! (I remember my first like it was yesterday, all set up lovely, but used a "reserved" player instead of a "red x" and got rolled by said player who was reserved but played. {P. Mago}.) So thats ruined my "Looping Career".. so far
But i have a "red x" this time! Can anyone confirm this is correct? I would switch Starling and Paps, if Luai scored under what i expected/wanted. But if Luai did well id just leave it? (Picture below)

Not to get all serious, but I'd take my nan to that dinner if she legit wants to go mate. Unless its part of the dementia etc
You just don't want any regrerts down the line mate.

That's what I'm thinking mate. If Peachey keeps the lock role the last 3 weeks then he could be worth a shout. The 90K however won't do much for Siro but could be handy to upgrade Lucy next week.

Ponga, Pap, Randall and Niu out.

McInnes
Haas MoFo
Lucy Matterson Murray
Cleary Pearce
Crichton Peachey
Teddy Hammer

Hunt Carrigan Taupau Siro
Koala Ponga Pap Randall Niu


Should I use my last trade and 145k spare? Thoughts?

If Teddy is out I’m playing with 15.



Upvote: playing with 16
Downvote: playing with 17

I’m playing with 15 at the moment - My only WFB cover was Talau. I have 2 trades left and as much as it kills me that my overall rank will take a dive, I’ve got a bye in my cash league and my 2 trades should be more useful next week.

curtis scott footage.

Would you use a trade if overall was your focus?

Fuimaono has royally fucked me

Yes it's sad when you see your nanna deteriorate like she has...dementia is terrible..good luck bro as it will only get worse.

The Teddy resting rumours are gaining traction

I can manage a few outs, but if Teddy gets rested this week I'll be down to 16 (like just about everyone else)

A cynical person might think the police overstepped the mark, wasted nine months of time and money hoping he'd accept the charges once it was in the media to avoid losing face, then dropped all the serious charges after the mildest rebuke from a magistrate.

Yep ill just play 16

multiple.scoregasms wrote:The Teddy resting rumours are gaining traction

If Teddy is out, I will be down to 15 (pre-trade). Last time I had 15 players, everyone got 2 bonus trades the week after. So what I'm saying is everyone should definitely burn their last trades because 2 more are coming in R19.

Guess I may not not be captaining the Tedster. Wheres the traction ?
