NRL Fantasy 2019 Part 69

Thoughts on selling Murray to Matterson or Taupau? I would only do this if two of Cook, Murray and Jurbo got rested, since if that happens, I've got 16 players (only have 18 now so can only cover one resting, unless it's Munster with Walters covering).

Basically my question is would it be better to cop 16 players or use a trade to sell Murray to Matto/Taupau and have 17, but only 3 trades for the run home instead of 4.

It's just Wacko guessing.

Nathan Brown said he will see how they pull up after Origin and make a decision after that.

Depends how many trades you have left.

Second option is better as I don't trust Crichton's JS or Robinson and Marty > Klemmer/Twal imo.

Fainu is a good option until Koro is back but needs to go after that.

Well Option 1 leaves me with 1 trade and options 2 leaves me with 0 trades. I already have Marty, just if I go Options 2 Jurbo/Matto will go into 2rf and Marty will come onto the bench. Option 1 means Marty stays in 2rf spot.

There's 9 rounds left mate, leaving yourself with 0 trades left isn't something I would ever recommend.

Future (hopeful) Cook owners: he will play reduced mins, Brittain onto the bench

Yeah, a quiet game from Cook might be fantasy season defining this weekend. Those without might be looking to flip Watson etc and would need a favourable price move to make it happen.

Tolo saying he feels revitalised and refreshed after the break. Tonne incoming... Tonn-a-lolo

Would only have 0 from R21-25 (5 rounds)

Ah okay.

Option 2 looks better and with cover in SST/Burns that covers you in 4 of the 6 positions which is pretty strong. As long as you have half and hooker cover (everyone has like 6 hookers) you'd be looking good.

Last time he played against the rooster, he bagged him a pie too. Cheeky $20 on him being FTS

Is Cook worth burning all your trades to get?

Yeah well HLF cover would be Mann and I have CS9, CM9, Brittain on bench, plus Mann who can cover HOK too. I like option 2 also, especially with all my cover but that 1 trade would be alright... plus I guess having Twal/Klemmer on the bench isn't too bad? I could even afford Jurbo if he is rested this week and only gets like 45.

Okay so let me re-word this

7. Arey/DCE
16. Klemmer/Twal/Crichton
17. NPR
18. SST
19. Burns

1 trade + Martin this week then 18th man comes in next week

versus

7. Arey/DCE
2RF. Jurbo/Matterson
16. Taupau
17. NPR
18. SST
19. Burns


0 trades + Fainu's 55's from now to R21 when I grab my 18th man

Which would you prefer/go?

1st option
You need the trades

Non Cook owners: he needs a rest he got a couple of knocks last night

By the way, hard to top that avatar, you can wear it next week as well

Twal and Klemmer is fine honestly. Averaging well over 50 so they are keepers.

I didn't even save my normal avatar which I've had for 3 years now so I might just have to keep this one

Cheers man I looked at it this way also.
Option 1 - Martin R17 = 45 + Twal/Klemmer R18-25 (53 avg) = 424 + 45 = 469 and 1 trade
Option 2 - Fainu R17-20 (55 avg) = 220 + Jurbo/Matto R21-25 (55 avg) = 275 + 220 = 495 and 0 trades

Option 1 seems pretty good as Klemmer has hit 55+ 6/12 games this year and Twal has hit 53+ 8/15 games this year so both of these players have the ability to go higher. Plus as stated if Jurbo hits around the 45 mark I may be able to afford him.

I'll probably put the C on the big lad. A banner would be sweet

If everything goes according to plan with injuries etc.

Also with Morgan gone with concussion it means Asiata moves off bench and onto starting team which means one of the reserve forwards will come in and probably get less mins than Asiata (because Green barely uses Jensen). Now convinced to change captain to Taumalolo from Smith

Edit Hess is in reserves maybe not so sure now

How are the Cowboys going to line up without Morgan?
