NRL Fantasy 2019 Part 71

Matterson or Murray starting SR, so Taupau can cover FR/SR.

Really?
Murray’s minutes have been down lately and it looks like Souths are trying to keep him fresh for finals.

And Murray scores a fair few points through attacking stats whereas Twal scores the majority of his points through base stats. Murray’s attacking stats MIGHT dry up but Twal’s base stats definitely won’t. Twal might even grab a try or two.

Murray has a 3 game average of 45.7
Twal has a 3 game average of 50.7

I would be selling Murray before Twal

Fucking, wow.

MBye and JReyn a tickle under 2 million combined. The Tigers don't have a lot of brown paper bags either, which makes it even worse.

Yeah true.
But camsmith agianst the titans witbout the origin stars and he will take over and be quite dominant..

It’s quite liberating having no interest in trading this week due to only having 2 left.

Captain this week looks tricky though - not sure if Lolo, Haas, Cook or Smith best option yet. Probs just go with Lolo. Haas is just really Lolo jr.

I think the guy in first is screwed. Maybe not this week, but long term. 135 points up but doesn't have Cook, Fifita, Ponga, RTS, Jurbo, Turbo. Didn't trade last week, so who knows if he has any spare. Current best team:

CS9
Taupau, Haas
Tolo,, Matterson, Murray
Moses, SJ
Bateman, Nikora
Ted, CNK, Burns
McInnis, Twal, Tevaga, AFB
Brooks, Watson, Walters, Brittain

IF he has cash/trades to go Watson to a prime WFB and put Burns on bench it instantly looks better, but if he doesn't he's screwed, and still no Cook.

This!

Hughes and Croft in the halves he will be in everything plus tackles

Cook 3-game average vs Cowboys = 86

DC9 ready for takeoff (one for the teenagers, there)

Yeah mate, I like both of them, have both in SC but playing Murray over Twal. Irrelevant for NRLF though.

Twal's very consistent and should keep banging out those 50s reliably. Can't see him crossing the line, but never know. Has one LB and TA from the same game in 2 seasons.

Murray's minutes have been down the last 3 games, but I'm expecting them to get back up to close the season out. Offers more on attack than Twal, so it'd only take a couple of those 20-30 point plays in the remaining 8 games to make Murray the better choice to keep imo.

It probably makes no difference but there are four middle forwards on the bench for the Cowboys, which is possibly a record.

Yeah but the player you want to trade in for him will score more than average and Watson will score shit so suddenly you can't trade Watson to who yu wanted.
I only have 3 trades left and I think Watson to RTS is happening.

Need a bit of help getting my head around my trades this week if possible. Munster out really just rustles my jimmies. Was all set for To'o back to Ponga and Murray to JTrbo. Garrick would be my back cover on the run in. But now I have to play one of them because I need Ponga in the halves and normally I'd play To'o.

I can't afford Garrick to Ponga and Murray to JTrbo soooo would you just play Garrick and do the trades or play To'o, trade Garrick and hold the other trade? My hand is forced and I have to trade Ponga in

Smith
Haas Fifita
Tolo Taupau Murray
SJ Munster*
Bateman Nikora
Teddy RTS To'o

Cook McInnes Fainu Twal

5 trades $415k remaining

415 + garricks 400 odd should be enough for ponga 800?

I bring DC9 (catchy!) in this week and don't really plan on taking the C from him from now on.

I narrowed down four possibilities last week - McInnes, Haas, Smith and Lolo. Picked the weakest scorer.

I'll wear Cook's weaker weeks if it means avoiding the weekly indecision.

Now let's see if I can actually stick to that.

SJ is going to go ballistic against the Warriors isn't he

Is there a way I can set my team up for that if SJ is ruled out I will get Burns score without having to wait for updated game day teamlists?

TIA

Yeah it is enough for Ponga but not for JTrbo too.

I meant more should I keep Garrick as DPP cover and trade To'o even if it means playing Garrick this week? (Irrespective of the second trade)

Had him in my team in 2016. Started the season with him and Chris Lawrence in the CTR's. Turned out okay actually.

Wasn't a keeper but put up some decent scores. Finished that year with Leilua and Croker in the CTR's. Raiders were such an attacking force that year, they were both legit guns.

That'd be ideal but I'm far more worried about him coming from the field early with his injury flaring up, having scored about 15.

Ponga is a must reckon, JTurbo not as much but ideally you want him mate ultra consistent but few others with big chance to match him over seasons ends like Arrow, Klemmer, Murray, NBrown if you want to go that way

I enjoy the fact you put a pound sign instead of a dollar sign. It's the small things in life.

I can't see a way to work it without possibly forgoing someone else's score but maybe I'm missing something? You'd need to swap Ponga and Burns if SJ was ruled out to get both scores but I can't see a way you could do this in advance
