NRL Fantasy 2019 Part 52

Bateman will only start training next week apparently so I doubt he plays. He said himself it won't be until round 13.

I'll grab him too if he plays 12

Noooo how I'm supposed to gain ground on you if you get the same players?

You know which bookie? I can never find them. They use to have a supercoach market for AFL but stopped because players would bet on themselves to underperform and ultimately win the bet

Hmm looks like it's been canned... to improve the integrity of the game.

Does Bateman go back to lock when he comes back? Sutton back to the front row rotation? Seems like Lui would be the one to make way with Bateman and Tapine back

I think that wouldn't be good for fantasy because at round 12 we basically all have the same 90-95% of common players. The bye period gives teams that are behind in points an opportunity to catch up & if origin was a stand alone tournament that had no effect on the nrl games then it would be pretty hard to catch the front runners.

Why do people need to be given an opportunity to catch the leaders ? Because they'll quit mid-season if they don't get their participation trophy ? If people have no desire to challenge or better themselves year on year and are quitters then successful people shouldn't be hampered in succeeding to accommodate them.

Simona played NRL not AFL

Thoughts on who I should sell Arrow to? Ideally to a 2RF but I could get a different position if I have to. I've narrowed it down to 4. I have 18 trades and this one would bring me down to 17. I can afford anyone I want for Arrow.

* Marty Taupau - Has pedigree, plays 12 and is dual position, but I worry AFB's stolen his role in attack somewhat, also not that cheap.

* AFB - Much cheaper than Taupau, just as good in attack but not dual position and gets suspended a lot

* Jurbo - Best 2RF in the comp that I don't already own, but will play Origin. Not sure it's worth going early on him. FWIW I have 9 R12 players if Murray plays R12, and plan to get two more next week by selling DBrown and Okunbor.

* KBrom or Matto - Both killing it and are huge PODs, but don't play 12 (they do play R16 though) and Matto could get picked for Origin.

The majority of Fantasy players don't give a shit about overall and just want to do well in their leagues.

This is what you call a red flag so I hope Knight passes all his concussion tests.

I don't see Cook getting subbed.  Surely he would still atay on the field.

Thoughts on my trades this week?

Cook
Fifi Haas
Lolo Murray *Taupau
Arey Ponga
Xerri Nik
CNK *RTS Teddy

Mcinnes Rein Tolman Young
Deardon Turpin Whitbread Allan
17 trades 260k itb
Went Morgan - RTS because im sick of his shit and ill go CNK to DCE later

Arrow - Taupau because origin and the injury. DPP for bonus coverage later when i stack hookers after the byes

Good trades?
Dogshit trades?
Wasted trades ?

I like it. Playing Young is risky though

I've gone AFB so one of the others

Fair enough, I'm leaning towards Jurbo since I don't have a lot of trades and the fact that he almost always backs up from Origin, meaning he likely only misses 2 games instead of the 4 or 5 that Arrow will miss

So the reason why souths only named 20 players is because they only have 20 fit/available players.

So knight out would mean *someone* from 18 to 20 has to come in.

Its a pretty easy choice for bennett to give brittain a few mins this week when he'll need him to start in rnd 12

Brittain probably gets 8 mins at the end of thr game..

Did someone say there is a possibility Martin plays next week with some suspensions/injuries?

Was just thinking about how everyone calls ARey the glass man and how SJ has been injured every season since 2014 lol

So Farah probably at his cheapest, I guess I need to start looking at getting some kind of final team together. Made a spreadsheet and it's not looking good at all

No charges from last night

JFH would have to undergo concussion protocol. 7 day turn around he will probably be fine.. altho he did get a bad knock..

The fact they won probably means no changes..

Yes good trades, does it leave you much coin in the bank? Peats is back soon so Reins time is nearly up, Youngs days look numbered, Macca back soon not good for Turpin and Whitbread needs injuries to get game time. You might need to save some cash to sort a few of those players out

Who gets RCGs spot if he plays Origin?
