NRL Fantasy 2020 Part 64 - Anyone Got Any More of Those 4 Trade Rounds edition

Croker and Waqa Blake are in no danger of getting dropped, which is 1/3 of the ways you can lose a centre

If you can wait a week I'd go with Tevaga. If you can't I'd play it safe with JTurbo

Ryan Matterson could be worth it

If you can wait 2 weeks, McInnes is likely to get DPP

@Rabbits21 the OTL podcast says you should look at Averillo. Lock him in, son.

Yeah I really like Tevaga. Had him last year and he delivered for me. Keen as to see him this week, hopefully he can get around that 60 mins cause he'd be in my team in a heartbeat if he got those mins

I really need an update on Korosau. I’d feel silly moving Angus on because he is out three weeks if Koro then sits as a red dot for the same amount of time

Boozecluez wrote:Team for this week

Grant
Haas Taupau
Taumalolo Matterson Murray
Cleary Johnson
Crichton Averillo
Tedesco Ponga Papenhuyzen

McCullough
Carrigan
Hunt
Tevaga

Fogarty, Talau, Tabuai Fidow, Niu

Looking at your team really makes me question WTF I've been doing all season.

99 ways to lose your centre

Dropped

Released back to england
COVID quarantine (is that same as injured?)

Its all happened this year

Probably (and this is a general observation about things that happen here rather than a specific comment on you) spent your time trading in guys with a low BE (but questionable job security/future scoring prospects) to make some quick cash and then having to contonually fix the mess

Also - stuffing around with centres

Aubusson compassionate leave as another category that happened

True, or just Aubusson

Tigers have moved their home game against Warriors from Campbelltown to SCG to avoid COVID hotspots

This sort of deckchair shuffling doesn't bode well. Along with news like this from Victoria
" nine out of 10 people did not self-isolate when they felt sick, before they went and got a coronavirus test, and one in two did not self-isolate while they were waiting for their test results."

Several examples of league players happy to flaunt distancing rules at training and games - who knows what they get up to behind the scenes. 2nd shutdown wouldn't surprise me at all.

Junk second team looking okay I think. Trades are Young and Fog to Siro and Tevaga;

Grant
Haas Papalii
RFM Tolo Carrigan
Cleary Luai
Crichton Avo
Pappy Teddy Ponga

Friend JFH Tevaga Siro

Api Clark Hammer Niu

Still 10 trades left so can upgrade Friend or Luai next week!

What are everyone’s thoughts on Averillo?

I'd be holding koro if I had him

FalconSloth wrote:What are everyone’s thoughts on Averillo?

A starting centre for 289k who can be a straight swap for Tese Niu... yes please

FalconSloth wrote:What are everyone’s thoughts on Averillo?

I wouldn't trade him in - Lafai just joined up with the Dogs, and even before that it doesn't seem he was a guaranteed starter

But if I had him already I would ride the wave.

Team for this week after trades

Crichton to Hunt
Young to Starling

6 trades 392k bank

Cook
Haas Taupau
Yeo Matterson Sironen
Hunt Cleary
Talau Averillo
Lomax Teddy Ponga

Grant
Starling
Luai
Carrigan

Clune
HTF
Koro
Niu

The cash will go towards a Luai or Clune upgrade next week. Thoughts?
