NRL Fantasy 2020 Part 63 - Stalling of the Robson train, Choo Poo

FYI, in case anyone wondering, John Hopoate was a typo, and its Jamil on the bench

Team list has since been corrected

Some people thought Hipgrave might make way because his fantasy scores aren't as good as Fermor's

Fermor has been found out many times in defence. Kid has potential but needs time, he's not a week in week out first grader. Hipgrave Holbrook loves by the looks. Fantasy aside, Hipgrave adds a little something to the pack.

Looks like JackoH will get a run with Api out. Will be a few shitty benchies getting run out this week I think for some teams.

Should rename him Former

So about those extra trades...? Haha

Had hoped Fermor might snag a bench spot.. there was no way he was staying in the side after the last two weeks. Bummer.

Someone find some info on API's elbow?

Wow, brutal for Fermor owners.

Sexy for Averillo owners - so relieved to see his name there.

Koro - wtf did that come from? Also curious about the severity of the injury, as well as Garner's as Wolfking said. Would be very interested to know what situation we expect with MCK. Also, I wonder if this might mean a few more minutes for McIntyre, in a roundabout way?

Speaking of injuries, I haven't got the latest of Crichton yet. Has anything been formally announced? Never owned him, but Aubbo looks inviting if there's any kind of time in it.

Hetherington interesting, or just likely to get displaced by Papala'ii or Burr?

I want Tevaga but I need every other position except hookers and second rowers.

And just like that I got 5 red dots. Yikes

Hipgrave is a penalty magnet, he is undisclipined and adds little to a team besides so called'aggression'.

Goes a bit beyond hurr durr fantasy scores.

i have Mata'utia, Butcher,koro,Young and Fermor... wat to do wat to do

Who is the best cheapie centre option out of MCK, Asi, McIntyre or other?

And is starling a good pick up off the bench? Will he get that many minutes every week if Havili doesn’t pass as bad as he did at the start of the game?

Garner is just failed HIA protocols due to 6 day turnaround

MCK no go for sure

fermor was already pushing for a spot prior to proctors injury, 18th man as soon as he was healthy, he also has more potential imo than hipgrave. he is Qld 20s rep and had big wraps coming from the knights where he would've debuted last year until he did his call. obviously after some of his defensive efforts he had to go

Any news on how long Edwards is out for?

Likelihood Young at Lock and Bateman 2rf with KOD dropping out?

What the hell has Liu done to deserve a start over Butcher?

Silver lining is Panthers play last so I guess Koro will be a popular loop enhancer?

Bench spot wasn't out of the realm of possibility.

Figured as much.

I do actually worry about Garner. Seems to have had a pretty serious run of concussion issues over these past couple of years. Not sure if he's had issues prior to this too. Hope he's sparing a thought for life after the NRL.
