NRL Fantasy 2019 Part 55

Camo123 wrote:Some solid upgrades overnight from end of game
JFH 63 to 64, Taupau 52 to 55, Garrick 24 to 27. 55 for Taupau sounds so much better than 52, psychological influence of fantasy is really weird

To'o went from 49 to 48, can't really see much else

Previously mentioned cashouts To’o and Cust really worked out well didn’t they

Big fan of To'o watching that game. My mate who is a Panthers die hard and also did some work with the juniors was raving about him when he finally got a shot. Looks very busy in attack and seems to run with purpose. I think he is one that will stick around

I was going to downgrade Lomax to To'o but didn't due to the Panthers playing the Roosters & the Bunnies in the next 2 games. I got him in sc & vsdt though & very happy with his performance. I also got Cust in vsdt so Cust & To'o were very handy pickups there.

Not once did I think about buying Kenny instead of Brittain because with Katoa on the bench I thought he wouldn't get big minutes. He looked very good & it's amazing how much better a team looks when there is great service from dummy half. Turpin has shown up Macca at the Broncos & now Kenny has shown up Katoa.

I wonder if Cleary might continue to roll with Kenny? also they could do worse than chucking Kikau on the bench until he comes right. Martin looked great last night.

Think I'll still give Mann a crack next week. Should get plenty of time at HLF.

Fair call?

Yeah he's got the JS he needed that he didn't have last week because of Levi's injury

Personally, I somehow don't have Dearden yet (which didn't look like the worst decision as he was looking like a slow burner until last week) so I'll be jumping on him straight away next week

There should be a new Dragons FRF, possibly Josh Kerr in Graham's absence. Whether they keep Korbin Sims as an impact player and Kerr starts might be interesting - or they could move Lawrie to prop, Leilua to 13 and new forward to bench

Questioning hollding Arrow and his dodgy quad

I got rid of Lawrie for Taupau last night so hoping he stays quiet haha
55 is a nice score and Martins 45 keeps that BE super low, hoping he gets more time.

Some info re Kenny.
Basically he’s outside the 30 at present and will be back to Reggie’s next week if Egan is back, unless something happens and he gets promoted into the 30.

Im not a league guy but isn't it pretty obvious that the service Kayo is giving them isn't up to NRL standard? Every time I watch him I amazed that he has a spot in the team, he's been absolutely rubbish. Admittedly I didnt watch last nights game, but if Kenny can pass I'd be promoting him!

Panthers fan on Reddit was saying that they kind of bent the rules by putting Katoa as a bench 2RF/lock which meant they had no other HOK in Egan's absence. Once Egan is back though, they can't get exemption to play Kenny ahead of Egan as he is out and out HOK, unless they upgrade Kenny to top 30 contract

Panthers starting hookers have been playing 50-70 minutes pretty reliably this season. Looked to be plenty of time for a base price tackle bot to make points.

Just need Penrith to move DWZ on (or whatever else needs to happen top make sure Kenny can keep starting)

If DWZ signs for another club before June 30 (I read somewhere he's in discussions with the Eels) then a spot will open up in the top 30 contracted players.

Yeah, makes sense. Just seems like they are way better off with Kenny compared to Katoa. Upgrade the kid's contract I reckon.

They can't upgrade him until they release someone, though that seems a formality as DWZ will be signed somewhere pretty soon.

I'm surprised the NRL allowed Naden to play given DWZ is still contracted. Maybe the deal elsewhere is already done and just ironing out paperwork. Maybe an announcement today?

@ wackos - Peats set to return next week in round 13 after returning to full training this week.

Rein to Smith/McInnes looks a goer.  Would be interesting to hold however and see what Rein's role looks like when Peats is back.

Thanks Peats for delaying it past this week - glad I jumped on the Rein train this year after missing it last year

Will do Rein to Bateman or McInnes next week - I view them both as keepers which means it probably makes more sense money wise to get McInnes but points wise it probably makes more sense to get Bateman as I can say goodbye to my shit CTRs

Yes happy days indeed. Will probably do Farah to Bateman if he's starting tomorrow

I went up 1000 ranks last night with my 100/2
