NRL Fantasy 2019 Part 63

Hasn't been setting the world alight fantasy wise, just steady as a rock and type of player, tackles everything, rarely misses and does the tough stuff! Surprised he hasn't been in origin frame more, kid is built for it!

How Saifiti was picked over Twal is beyond me!

I don't mind the trade tbh. Assuming you'll have the trades to get Fifita back in if you did go with twal.

Agreed, but can't argue with his performance on the weekend mate, went better than expected although I couldn't cope with his inconsistent performances in that sort of arena

I'm bringing in Matterson this week.

I can't see him debuting for NSW in a decider after being leapfrogged by like Sims, Wade Graham, Saifiti, Finucane.. though FR cover was a priority with Klemmer and Haas out.

Both, or at least Klemmer could return for Game 3 too.

No trades this week. Will grab SJ and Nofo next week.

I honestly think the Tigers could beat Queensland the way they played on Sunday.
I’m sure Twal would’ve done just as good if not better than Saifiti.

Interesting

I don't see Haas coming back for game 3. I doubt NSW will want to make too many changes and Klemmer is a lock to come in already.

Klemmer for Sims and whoever replaces Cleary in the halves.

I was chuffed too until I remembered the last time it happened he scored 20 points in 18 minutes

Rolling some funky dice now.

No doubt he would of mate, but would of made him unavailable for R16 so silver linings

Can't fault Saifiti and his performance though, got to give him props

Good luck

Same I think I'm going to settle on him (could go SST this week to eliminate risk but price wise it makes more sense to pick up Matterson, also briefly entertained Twal + Crichton instead of Matterson + SST but excluding injury and interchange appearances it is 102.7 to 107.8 in averages with Matterson + SST favoured)

I personally don't think Wade Graham will play 6 in a full game and will then stay utility with NSW more likely to prefer a genuine HLF

At this stage I am looking at Lomax/Brown and Havili/Matterson. Leaves me with 8 trades with only CNK and maybe Wighton who aren't keepers.

Yep, can't see matto getting in now. As much as I'd like it to happen, just can't see it.

Yeah sounds about right. I want to see Haas get another crack, but that one stupid penalty in origin 1 and not playing in the big win makes it very unlikely that he'd be called back up.

Barring any late changes this should be my team for this week (8 trades, 22k remaining - trades of CNK and Fifita to RTS and Matterson)

Cook
Taupau Haas
JFH Murray Taumalolo (c)
Munster Ponga
Bateman Nikora
Tedesco RTS Watson

McInnes Smith Matterson Xerri
Havili Carrigan Lomax Dearden

Same with Fifita when he was playing, did well but always giving away dull penalties at the wrong time

Haas will get another crack though, him and Klemmer will be terrorising the MaGoons for years I'm sure

NRL Tonight just showed the Dragons teamlist and it had Lomax at FB! Got my hopes up but we know it's an error. Rookies.

Well I guess keeping Brown for this long has kinda paid off, leaves me with halves cover. How much cash does he make??
