NRL Fantasy 2019 Part 60

Bethany_B wrote:Thoughts on Connor Watson? Considering doing a 3rd trade this week and selling Mahoney to him (and then CNK to SJ next week). My original plan is to hold CNK, and sell Mahoney next week to SJ.

Other 2 trades for me this week are Tolman to SST and Garrick to Staggs

I'll be grabbing him because I need a HLF until I get SJ and I want to get the Twin Cams this week.

Getting Watson allows all of this.

First week since having him I’m not playing him. That guarantees him at least 60

Ha, same.

Yeah Kenny v Brittain were my options and I listened to Rabs. That is not looking good at all

Not sure why you're getting downvoted, Kenny definitely looking like the better trade-in now.

Could move Bateman to my CTRs instead of Xerri but that means playing Havili. Can’t sit Xerri after last week can I?

If enough of us make the sacrifice maybe he will acknowledge it and get a good score over 50+

It sounds silly, but I'm torn between playing Xerri or Havili in last bench spot - Havili should be safe 35-45 whereas Xerri we don't really know what his floor is but recent improvement shows he has a high ceiling (also still not entirely sure what side he's playing on - will be v Cotric if left side, or Croker if right side)

It’s a two horse race between Finucane and Twal for Klemmer’s position

Prior was in the winning series last year and putting his hand up as well. TBH Twal is not in the frame. Its more Matterson/Finucane/Prior

Morning All

Yeah, Twal needs to stay out of the origin arena even though he is built for it!

My R16 number already not the best

Hope Crichton gets dropped for origin. He would be a handy rd16 addition.

What do we think of Jonus Pearson? Looked decent enough on the weekend (albeit against the Dogs), is 271k, will likely play 16 and if he does get dropped, that just makes him a loop (since if Mary puts anyone on the bench, it'll likely be Aitken or Lomax instead)

Also seriously considering selling Munster to Hunt as a POD play. Munster's looked ordinary recently and is leaking cash, while Hunt is a massive POD. Neither play 16 anyway (and I do have SJ pencilled in for next week anyway) and I'm looking to hold my position at the pointy end (currently 229th overall)

I'm leaving Havili out. Hopefully he smashes out a 50+.

Looking Xerri and Lomax. Either of them could nab a 60+ which I would be more than happy with!

I'll tell ya a secret. There are probably cunts around here somewhere haha.

Without the try (try, LB, 2TBs) he scored around 21 points - are you happy with that if he doesn't score in R16 (v Storm). Not too sure a winger is worth it if you're banking on him scoring a try in the one round you need him to play

The Munster move is interesting, I'm seriously tossing up Munster to SJ in R16 if SJ drops below 600k - stupidly bought Munster after 95 instead of Milford before Origin period so all he's given me is 45, 35, 40 which is deadset shocking

There's at least one and the bastard is using my laptop right now!

Yeah just figured I'd ponder the Pearson trade as a way to cash out Dearden. Might be better off just holding onto Dearden until it emerges which players will play 16 and then nuff out.

As for the Munster trade, it's a hard one for me as Munster was my early season hunch that paid off in spades (I started with him), but his recent run of scores is a bit meh and Hunt has a similarly great draw in the run home, while being more of a POD (both play the Titans twice for example).

He'll be worth nothing by then and won't be worth getting rid of.

We can’t have Matterson instead of Klemmer. It’s fine if Matterson takes Wighton or Crichton spot(which I hope/think he should).

A bench of Wighton, Murray/Haas (whoever isn’t starting), Matterson, Crichton is WAY too light-on for props.

I’m hoping that the pack looks like this

8. Trbojevic
9. Cook
10. Vaughan
11. Cordner
12. Frizell
13. Murray
14. Wighton/Cotric (Assuming Trbojevic takes Cotric’s Wing spot)
15. Haas
16. Finucane
17. Matterson

Should we expect another 80 mins from Martin? It’s the Same 17. That would be solid

Matterson is good and all but I don't think he can handle playing two positions.

Better than that spud Frizell.



Oh hey Welshy
