NRL Fantasy 2019 Part 62

White Lightning wrote:I 100% agree with Fittler dropping Latrell. There's no place for lazy in s.o.o. Sure he might score a try with a bit of brilliance but what's the point if he's the cause of 2 tries. When you watch his game 1 mistakes what stands out the most was his lack of urgency to get back & defend, while all his team mates were scrambling & sprinting back to defend there was Latrell slowly jogging his way to help defend. When you look at Latrell in pre season games you look at his body shape. Compare his body shape last year to this year. Last year he looked trim so he was fit so he was hungry. This year he looks a bit heavier & he doesn't look fit so he's lazy.

I think if laziness is an issue its fine to drop him. Sounds like there is other stuff going on in his life too which could be tough.

The problem for me though is that when you couple the Latrell dumping with the rest of the changes Fitler made, you cant help but question where his heads at, which in turn calls into question the Latrell trade by default.

It will be bloody interesting what he does for game 3 if they dont win 2!

Whitbread has a fairly low BE and should get more minutes with the Arrow injury

Dearden allows me to loop however my lowest averaging player in the top 17 is Watson followed by Crichton, my best players in 18-21 are Havili and Whitbread - so I don’t really need the loop

Earliest back up is 4 days for Tigers v Rabbitohs (Cook, Murray)

Rabbit wrote:Is Watson turning into a keeper? Given that Levi will be back soon enough, it looks like he’s found his NRL legs, even with a switch back to the halves. Surely Brown doesn’t utility bench him now? Or does he? I need him for 16....the trouble is I need a R16 cashout to bring him in and was looking at Hutchinson. Then the Flanagan news hits. Fantasy is such fun. With 4 trades next week, leaves me with 7 for the run in.

I reckon he'd be a keeper for WFB or bench if he kept the current role but I think that is unlikely, they are much better with Levi at 9, Watson at 6 and Mann/Buhrer/Griffin at 14. I'm not convinced that Watson would be a keeper at 6 because Pearce and Ponga are just too dominant and he doesn't do a lot of kicking, and of course there is the risk he does end up on the bench too. I'm just hoping he keeps his BE low so I can keep him through rounds 16 and 17 at which stage hopefully he is almost a straight swap to a gun.

The tackle is borderline. He just fell on him and he’s a big fat bohemoth. Definitely no intent, but careless nonetheless. If it was a lightweight back or hooker making the same flop, I doubt there’d even be a charge. I can see him getting the downgrade. Bateman’s was worse imo. The Barnett tackle, on the other hand, was atrocious. Deserves a long holiday.

His BE will be pretty far into the negative after a 67 with a BE of 2. So will just need to maintain some form of respectable scores through R15,16,17 and should be around 700+.

His average playing 70 minutes or more at 5/8 was 45ish last year. Floor and Ceiling were pretty boom/bust but as WFB cover/18th man thats kind of what you need? could possibly be more consistent with another year under his belt and more time to find his spots.
