NRL Fantasy 2019 Part 69

Turbo has only played 7 of a possible 18 games so far this season (including Origin) so this wouldn't surprise me after pulling his hammy twice this season.

If Tommy T is also out, then its probably more of a leveller than if just one, or maybe two, are out.

Pretty much everyone has RTS, but most have at least one,  and most likely two of those three.

People who held To'O would be pretty happy. Coates slipping into centre this week is handy  for those who picked him up, though no guarantee he scores well.

Fair few still have CNK as well I guess.

Martin and Xerri to Bateman and Cashout

Hmmm id be keen if there was a half decent cashout, but they are all horrid.

What about SST/Martin > Bateman/Burns??

SST could lose some minutes with the cavalry back and could average low 40s from here??

Could be worse for options, there are at least a few in starting positions

Coates - playing centre this week.
Wakeham - don't know much about him personally, but he looked dangerous for Fiji. I don't know what Foran's situation is though.

You are short a WFB right? Coates is a no brainer really.

My WFB this week is Drinkwater, Burns, Watson. I will be happy with 130 from this lot. Thats a 43 average across the park.

I have one of those so good for me but I still need Tevaga to definitely start, Crichton to start or score well off the bench again, Murray to play (or alternatively Brittain if Cook is out) and no other late outs!

I'm heading off camping this weekend. Couldn't be worse timing with team carnage and no signal

Whats the deal with Martin? He likely to be out a while? Any more to the remours that this isnt an injury, rather its a discipline related stand down?

I might be alright in that circumstance. WFB of RTS, Burns (brought in for Mann this week) and Watson. Only crap player in 17 is Carrigan

I don't know if it's good or bad for cash purposes though as my planned Watson to TTurbo (or Moses if I can afford it) trade next week currently has 20k buffer and was hoping TTurbo would lose a little bit of money (can go to alternative trade of Jurbo or Friend but have no HLF cover or just pick lesser HLF)

I think it was mentioned earlier. 16 points with a try, id rather save the trade and just take a 0.

Is SST/Xerri to Bateman/Burns something worth looking at? Gives me Nikora/Bateman with Burns as cover?

I don't see Murray being rested. Was averaging 61.5 minutes pre-origin, averaged 47 during Origin period and averaged 38.3 minutes for Origin. So he has been very well managed through this period plus Rabbitohs are close to losing their extra chance in the finals. They have a tough draw coming into the finals. If anything can only see some players being rested against Bulldogs, Warriors and maybe Broncos as they will want that top 4 finish and want some players fresh coming into finals.

Work out a plan and give someone your login details. You're doing way too well to risk having a shit week.

But the driving factor isn't Coates, its upgrading elsewhere. Coates scoring some points this week is just a point for the "Pro's" column.

The annoying thing will be if he is not rested, but keeps playing lower minutes for a few weeks. Scoring 35 to 45 is not helped.

I'd rather he just missed a full week and then went straight back into playing 60 mins a game.

I am hoping Xerri plays on the left edge this week because he could see a bunch of TB's against Chambers and Suli! I think Martin could've grabbed a 50+ score against the Titans but now I am hoping Xerri can at least pull out a 40+ against the boys this week.

Yeah this is true. Every man and his dog has him in their team anyways. Hope the fact his minutes were kept low means he is feeling fresh for the run home. Rabbitohs have a few tough draws coming up in Storm, Sharks, Manly, Cowboys before they see the doggies.... no offence to dogs fans.

Yeah mate, hard to know how this is going to play out.

I think a few of the top teams traded him out last week so it could be a crucial call either way

What's everyone's thoughts on Watsons prospects tonight? I am really hoping he has one of those ballistic games. Maybe with Klemmer laying a platform and Pearce steering the ship he may see some better ball than he was from Mann/Lino last week.

I am hoping for at least 40, I will be happy enough.

Hold on Coates is named on the wing??
Herbie at CTR.

Broncos trained earlier in the week with Coates at right centre, Isaako wing. Farnworth trained left wing in Corey Oates place. Can confirm Broncos did post some videos from training and they were lined up that way.

Obviously nothing 100% confirmed but it seems they will line up that way

Broncos will post their "final word" from Siebold shortly so may get more info there. I'm hoping someone will ask if Isaako is back and who will play right centre.

Anywa, its just a cash out. I don't know what the worry is haha
