NRL Fantasy 2020 Part 60 - Less trades than rounds left edition.

RIP Butcher in my team R9 2020 - R9 2020

I’m going for NBrown, hurts my cash for future moves a bit but love him as a player. Owned him twice last year. Burnt both times. It was awesome.

He's been scoring at mid 30s most of the season despite basically Zero attacking stats including tackle busts, so I feel he's due for some solid 40plus games, even if he just gets put through a few holes. Not completely sold on selling a healthy player at this point with only 9 trades remaining (traded JTB to Havili still). I think I'll just run a patchy team this week, see what I can do, and hope something juicier (like liu being promising) turns up next week. 

Feel free to change my mind though, but I feel like I'm gunna need the trades!

You don’t want my input on centres mate. I’ve used about 10 trades on them and am only removing shibasaki finally this week..

BUT. Preseason moga was ahead for right centre and bradman left until he tweaked his hammy with about 3-4 weeks to go and then tuala has performed relatively well and O’Brien likes his defence. I personally think with lee out he’s realized we lack a bit of size in our backs so moga should hold that spot for a while as Shiba is quite clearly 4th choice

Star T’oa is a threat with a reshuffle effecting moga but I’d back him to keep the spot. That being said we don’t attack well on our right side at all to he looks like a walking 20-30 to me

Next minute Crichton gets injured and Butcher is 80-minute second row.

In seriousness, Cordner is going to be missing one game in two and JWH is clearly carrying something and doing reduced minutes. Liu is more useful as a bench player. I'll be holding him for a week or two at least to see what eventuates.

(Jesus I fucked up the formatting. Quoting the below)

My slightly more measured thoughts are I should probably wait a week as id be more annoyed selling him early than holding a week too long.

But I can’t even work out a bench loop for him. He’s making it hard to keep him

Has Lowe ever broken a tackle in his career?

Hahahaha yeah legit maybe not, he's like the slowest and least impactful forward I've ever watched. He doesn't miss many tackles though! 

Also I'll never forget his charge down in origin. I watch Souths play purely to see some of that fire, yet finish everyg feeling like a wet salmon.

He was quite a weapon in the Cows but just never has gotten back to that level after his neck injuries.

I'm getting SST this week (mainly to strengthen the FRF) and NBrown next week if all goes to plan (I need my token Eels player in the team as an Eels supporter)
