    If I have Fifita, Cleary, Ponga, Stimson, Watkins, Kennedy (maybe Walters too) unavailable for round 3 and only 2 trades, I'll probably not bother restarting and just concentrate on the community team


    I don't want unlimited trades, just more than 2

    Ouch, finally looked at my team for the first time since the world exploded;

    Fifita, Cleary, Kennedy, Walters and Stimson. And a few other guys like Katoa, Williams, Wiliame all of whom I'm not really sure how they'll sit at the resumption of play.

    Again, though, the main thing is that surely the majority of players have similar issues once you add the likes of Horse, Flegler, Watkins into the mix. No one's going to dodge all of them, surely.

    Just looking at my team, if we had 4 trades to start I'd possibly be using all 4! Embarassed

    I respectfully disagree with the point about questionable job security, how many cashies have proven to be quality in the last few years despite questionable job security? Especially Kennedy with 2 guys with bad injury history ruled out and the sharks backline in tatters he was due for some game time until round 5-7, plus Walters was expected to play in the halves until Brooks returned, but now will either be on the bench or won't play at all. And Watkins left on compassionate grounds yes, but to return to the UK to see his father. Who contracted coronavirus. Which is why the season was suspended.

    The good players will still rise to the top regardless, my rank isn't gonna go from 30k to top 100 because I have unlimited trades but at least I'll enjoy the rest of the season a hell of a lot more because I play for fun, not to win $750 worth of KFC vouchers (seriously if you play fantasy for the prizes you are wack)

    Certainly some cashies with questionable JS cement a spot and take off, but equally some fail.

    I'm not concerned by unlimited trades, I'll just get on with it either way. I just can't see it happening, and like I said in my original post,  I think something like 4 trades would be fair,  and would work for the majority of people.
    I'm also fine with you disagreeing, it's just my opinion, it's all good. At the end if the day neither of us have any say in what will happen.

    PS I'm pretty sure no one plays for the shit house prizes

    I'm itching for 2007 if that's where we end up. Learned a lot already in 2006... namely, make sure your first 17 players are all actually playing. pale

    I don't see Nofo getting dropped but depends if can play both sides I guess. You'd think they would want Rapana on BJ's side.

    I could be wrong... But, i thought the NRL said that he couldn't come back this year...

    Rapana joins raiders for remainder of 2020 (NRL.com)

    Would the Warriors rookies JTB and Katoa still have a spot in the team?

    Tevaga will be back, starting at lock, but Bunty is out for the season. Katoa has made a real impression on the field, will either retain his starting spot, or get good minutes off the bench. JTB likely to be up against Paasi for the final bench spot.

    Rapana confirmed to be joining Raiders for the rest of the season. Simonsson to drop out.

    If Rapana is back at the Raiders then Curtis Scott could be a great Watkins replacement with Rapana outside him.
