Me too but Paulo has 10 tb's over the 2 games which has bump up his score. His average base over the 2 games is only 34 points (18 tackles & 159 run mtrs) so that's what is putting me off.

Horse 106 points - $539k. I bet Warriors have been approached about Bateman, if they have salary cap exemption and spend some left over SJ money, with lots of players off contract next year, happy days

Article on DT posted on facebook apparently Broncos will have 3 forwards & a back on the bench so no hooker so Turpin looks like playing 80 mins. But I'm dubious because he doesn't seem to score well in fantasy.

I don't like evaluating a player based on performances against weak teams, Eels have played Bulldogs and Titans.

Nathan Brown.

I’m not holding him and Fifita on the bench for 3 rounds Brown had been disappointing anyway his suspension was the catalyst for me to off him

Last year Turpin played 2 80 min games at hooker. He scored 49 & 68 points (68 included a try) so he seems to score in the 40-50 point range.

Not that I think he’s that great at it but Alex Glenn has covered hooker a little bit. I still think he’ll get a bit of a breather

Good point

Apparently Cowboys won't be rotating players through the season, but Broncos will. https://www.foxsports.com.au/nrl/nrl-premiership/nrl-2020-paul-green-vs-anthony-seibold-cowboys-broncos-rugby-league-round-3/news-story/abb87ca8136b820bb09b214fc510eca6

Aubusson, Wiliame
Papenhuyzen, Isaako, Drinkwater

B. Brailey, E. Katoa, Grant, Carrigan
B. Walters, Luai, Rudolf, JTB

Leaves me with 7k bank.

This is a really good team especially if Twal and Yeo turn out to be keepers

Might be decent for fantasy but he's 26 and never really cracked first grade. Unless he pulls a Cody Walker i wouldn't expect too much

Im happy to wait on Fogarty. Hard to score points as a half if your team never has the ball

After trades with 28k itb

Api
Haas (vc) Carrigan
Lolo (c) Leilua Katoa
Moses Drinkwater
Staggs Aubboson
Tedesco Holmes Papenhuyzen

Lomax Mann Wiliame Grant
Rudolf Kennedy Musgrove JTB

Hey guys, looking forward to getting back into it!

Looking for some advice with my trades

I don't currently have Lolo and looking to bring him in but then playing around with trade options, if I don't bring him in I can bring in two solid 2RF's compared to Lolo and a cheapie. I already have Guler, Katoa and Rudolph so feel like I may be a bit light if I bring in the likes of Magoulias as well..

These are sort of the options I am considering, would appreciate thoughts. I feel like Arrow & Hors or Frizell & Yeo would outscore Lolo and Magoulias but is that too short sighted?


1. Fifita, Williams, Stimson -> Lolo, Magoulias, Grant ($158k in bank)
2. Fifita, Williams, Stimson -> Arrow, Hors, Grant ($32k in bank)
3. Fifita, Williams, Stimson -> Frizell, Yeo, Grant ($65k in bank)

Anyway, its kind of now or never I think.. with Morgan out for a month I reckon he gets his hands on the ball a lot in attack

My thoughts exactly. I was close to bringing him in after rd 1 but didnt pull the trigger

You seem to have too many backs in your 17. Dragons have the Warriors in round 3 so Lomax & Wliame should score alright but they really need to be in the starting 13 rather than on your bench.

Edit - That last sentence does not sound right. What I meant was I don't like too many backs on the bench I'd rather have forwards.

I dont like option 2 that much but im struggling to decide between options 1 & 3. If Magoulias is named to start then i think id go for option 1 but its a tough call. Frizell is a bit of a wildcard i think, he should do well enough to be an adequate final 17 player but he could turn out to be a bit of a bust too. That said, i still think he offers value for money as does Yeo potentially. The extra cash in the bank for option 1 will be useful down the line too. So after all that, if i have to get off the fence, my choice is option 1

Lomax and Wiliame are still scoring for me though. I'll look to trade 2 of Kennedy, Lomax and Wiliame soon so i wont have as many backs and ill improve my forwards. I am set on trading in Tedesco this round but i may not trade in Holmes, if i can find a decent value for money forward. Thanks for the feedback
