NRL Fantasy 2019 Part 56

So if I had traded in Bateman, I would've been 47th right now instead of 108th.
61 points between those two rankings. Very tight.

Don't think Martin, Whitbread or Young are gonna gain much anymore.

Not sure what's gonna happen to them

Xerri you'd think could be a hold for round 16. Tip top has gone stale and Young gonna miss up to 5 weeks.

For trade ideas, here is a list of everyone averaging over 50 that plays R16

Cameron McInnes
Cameron Smith
Andrew Fifita
Robbie Farah
Anthony Milford
Kenneath Bromwich
Ryan Matterson
Briton Nikora
Alex Twal
Mitchell Pearce
Luke Brooks


Plus maybe Andrew McCullough.
These guys could be considered keepers , some more borderline than others.
Anyone else you trade in has to be traded out again afterwards (or be a cash out that isn't required for your playing 17)

I'd add SST, who's averaging 49.7 including an injury affected 9, and SJ who was averaging 49 before his injury game and historically goes 50+

Cheers LB and Milch. Good to know how it works a bit more

Makes bye planning a potentially expensive venture

No need to thank me mate. Basically regurgitated some Milch wisdom.

SJ obviously interesting at his current price.

If Ponga and Teddy back up I'll strongly consider bringing in SJ and RTS as cut price keepers for Rd14. Allows me to use more funds elsewhere

Want to ditch Carty this week before he loses too much cash, but it means I need to skip Bateman (McInnes my other trade).

Any base/cheap options who should play R16? Looking at Staggs, but not that enthused

Young's immediate future looks grim LB. Mcguire did the same thing and got off with a fine ( serial offender ) but they are mentioning 5 weeks for eye gouging so who knows?
Consistent decisions by the judiciary may be a bridge too far.

I'm not execting Cook, Ponga or Arrow to back up atm

Murray could be a concern too depending on how many minutes he plays on Wednesday.

Not sure if mentioned but Welch and Stimson to dogs all but confirmed

Also got a nice 694 for the week and moved up 1000 spots to 445

I'm in the same situation. Not liking much on offer that plays R16

It true. I traded in Bateman and I'm 47th. The system works!

The guy in 1st will currently only had 1 player for rnd 16 also gtats to the 6 fanatics in the top 20

Thoughts on my trade plan? Currently sitting 324th overall

Rd13: Rein and Young -> CS9 and Bateman (4k left over)

Rd14: Mahoney and Wightoin -> SST and SJ

Rd15: To'o and Garrick -> a R16 playing nuff (likely a Storm outside back) and a R16 playing gun (KBrom or Matto if I can afford it, otherwise a POD. Maybe Wade Graham?)

Got 15 trades before using any this week and the following team

Cook
Fifita, Haas
Jurbo, Murray, Lolo
Munster, Wighton
Nikora, Xerri
CNK, Teddy, Ponga

Mahoney, Rein, Tolman, Havili

Garrick, Dearden, To'o, Young

Most of the backs should play. Munster and Walker could be rested given their team's comfortable position on the ladder plus Bellamy and Wayne usually rest players.

Forwards might play reduced minutes. Depends on how their team is going. Manly probably can't afford to rest either Turbo or DCE.

I'd get rid.of.cnk before wighton and harris.could be a cheap pick up for rnd 16

Captaincy might be interesting and be a rank mover this week. I'm not too sure I want to captain Cook with possibility of resting (locking him into team) or lower mins

Either going to keep it on Taumalolo or put it on Fifita at this stage
