Also do we think Robson keeps playing 80?

I'm planning to add Flanagan this week, will play him in 14-17 with Cleary and Moses. Allows me to trade out Drinkwater as backup half.
No indications that Robson won't play 80. Cotter was meant to be on the bench last week but was cut at game time. This week he isn't on the bench.

Team for th week for now.

Trades

Moses to Cleary
Rudolf to Macca

Team list

Grant
Haas, MoFo
Yeo, Carrigan, Leilua
Cleary, Fog
Fuimaono, Best
Ponga, Drinky, Pappy

Koro, Macca, Su'A, Katoa
Brailey, Talau, Luai, HTF

Got Braily and Talau in a loop. Now only decision is who to cap. Haas/Ponga/Cleary. Leaning towards Cleary.

Surely you wait to see him play well in a game before taking a punt?

24 pages of:
- 2 extra trades this round, 2 extra trades for the season.
- that sucks and is unfair to many

There you go, all caught up

I welcome our new trade giving overlords

On the NRL Fantasy podcast they talk about the "good news" of extra trades. I don't think they were expecting a backlash for the announcement, which shows how in touch they are with their fanbase.

I'm in a similar position. Got 3 hookers on my bench and no 2rf cover at the moment. I was gonna hope a new 2rf player appears - eyeing off Butch, RFM, Young. I am going to risk not having cover for the 2rf position for a few weeks and pray none of them get injured then bring a 2rf in soon

Have you looked at SMat? I brought him in last week to temporarily cover 2RF, but primarily have him as CTR1

Pretty annoyed still about this this morning.  Not to harp on but I've worked on having pretty good depth and no dead spots besides injured players from last week.  It's frustrating that people now have 2 extra trades and 4 opportunities this week to fix all of that in one swoop.  Losing interest already.

I could go Moses, Horse, JTB, and Rudolf to Cleary, Tedesco, Butcher and Niu.

Gives me:

Api
Haas Fotuaika
Lolo Aloiai Carrigan
Cleary Pearce
Mitchell Lomax
Papy Teddy Ponga

Grant Butcher Best Crichton

HTF Niu Williame Musgrove.

Probably a better idea to use this chance to offload Williame and Musgrove though.

Goes to show that the feedback given at end of season isn't taken on board.

I mean, I realise what it is, its a free product, already second in popularity to Supercoach, which is run by the people that fund the game. For all we know, Fantasy might be killed off next season and a 'partnership' set up to push everyone onto SC..... it honestly wouldn't surprise me as it seems silly to have two fully fledged platforms in competition with each other. NRLF is just treading water at the moment.

It's just disappointing as it would take fairly minimal effort to improve the overall product. The official game of the NRL should be the superior offering, and the default platform for people to play on.

Don't think there is enough games left in the season.

Reaction on Renegades and Rogues seems a bit more mixed than here, even favourable, which is notable because they're usually angry about absolutely everything. We are in a bit of a bubble here.

It's insane, its like they are running NRLF with scraps instead of making it a premium product of the NRL.

Same for me to be honest, though my opinion wouldn't have changed if I had injuries. Just part of the game. I wasn't even a big fan of adding 4  trade rounds at the resumption but at least that was fair enough.

Originally my only trade was to be Rudolf -> Ponga. I'll probably now use the second trade on Paix -> Talau to get rid of a red dot. Not sure I'll use more than two.

I can go Lucy -> Robson, but I'm not sure of it.

Woke up and sent Drinkfucker to the Bin again.
