NRL Fantasy 2019 part 70

So so tempted by Lichaa. Provides funds for Cook too haha

So no idea what to do. Had some too many low scores mixed with the big. SJ out for 1-2 weeks. SST stinking it up. Xerri needs to go. Nikora turning into a dud. Hopefully Drinkwater's 25 was a one off to scare anyone away from his POD 50's for the run home. Not sure if I should hold on to Watson for now, whats everyone else doing with him?

Mate, no point trying to work any of that out until we have news on SJ (he is having scans today), and a team list for the Knights.

Knights play 3pm Saturday, so at 3pm Friday we should have some reasonably solid news. Only the Broncos vs Dogs game will have been completed by then which shouldn't affect plans (unless you want to grab Milford I guess)

Yeah so far I am just doing Xerri > Arey and holding the rest for now until a solid 18th man pops up, Klemmer looks raring to go but Watson might not be finished yet. Kicking myself I didn't keep CNK after his 12. Killing it since.

There's been situations where players have been in a moon boot after the game and played the next week. Sometimes it's just precautionary.

Hopefully we get some better news on SJ during the week

Eh, if Hodgson's out for any amount of time CNK's scoring will suffer. He'll stay in my team all season, but I'm nervous about it.

Anyone know what could put a halt to Wrights 80min games?? Base stats are stellar.

Who would you go out of DCE and Arey? Although DCE outscored Arey I feel Arey's scoring is more sustainable. DCE's included 3 TA's, 3 LBA's and 126 Run Metres where he is only averaging 0.91, 0.73 and 59.54 respectively. Arey had a couple TA's and LBA's also but he was actually under average in his Run Metres and Kick Metres. I also think it will be a bit hard for DCE to average around 55 without Goal Kicking.

Not much mate, spot was Mitch Dunn's before he got injured. Hess on the outter.

Maybe his tackles have been inflated due to the fact Dragons and Roosters both heavily favour their left side attack, up against Rabbits this week who also favour their left side but sharks the week after who go to their right more??

If Watson keeps a starting spot I'll keep him for this week. Would like to get Fifita back in before worrying about my halves.

If SJ Is out for anything more than one game, I'm bringing in ARey.
Otherwise Burns can cover for a week assuming no other curveballs pop up.

3 trades left. 271k in the bank.

Smith
Fifita, Haas
Lolo, Murray, Matterson
SJ, Moses
Bateman, Nikora
CNK, RTS, Teddy

McInnes, Cook, Taupau, Robson

Mann, Carrigan, Ponga, Walters

Bro I'm straight up not having a good time. I was going to go CNK to Munster this week but once again CNK came to my rescue and I just can't trade such a legend out.

If SJ is out 1-2 weeks, I'll just double trade Mann and Robson to get Munster. 1 trade left is dire I know but CNK stays my 18th man which is good enough for me.

Out for longer SJ straight swap for Munster. Have CNK hang around as a permanent scorer I guess. Options are limited.

Plans sound alright to me mate. Keep kicking mate. Solid squad with a few POD's in there.

Is Lomax back soon? Would love him back this week so I can toss Xerri instead.

Saw some early DT mail on Facebook yesterday saying Sharks culling 6 players this week. If Xerri out that makes for an easy trade. If he somehow finds the FB spot I would love to give him a go.

Interesting. Feeling like taking a punt to free up some cash so I can use my last two trades on useful players when Fainu/Tevaga peak.

SST > Wright gives me 250k to play with.

SJ played the last 20 mins with the injury, which means, in my expert opinion, that it cant be too bad

I can't be bothered looking up the exact numbers but from having a look a few weeks ago, here's the stat on A-Rey. No other HLF averaging 50+ has more 50's than him and not one score below 40. However he also only has 2 scores over 60+

He's the most consistent option going around but he's not a player that's likely to go boom.

Yeah I heard he "may" need 1-2 weeks rest to reduce the swelling.

Hess was starting, then got injured, then returned from bench

Wright may have done enough to secure the spot, he's played well the past 2 weeks.
