NRL Fantasy 2019 Part 71

Gonna be raining money tonight.

Thoughts on these trades? Leaves me with 2 trades left and 120k.

Mahoney and Xerri > Smith and Tapine.

Smith
Haas (c), Fifita
Taumalolo, Murray, Taupau
Pearce, SJ
Nikora, Bateman
Tedesco, Ponga, RTS

McInnes, Cook, Fainu, Tevaga
Burns, Tapine, Coates, Hutchison

Kind of leaves me in trouble if I get a few injuries but that's been the story of my season. Will trade Fainu in a few weeks leaving me with 1 trade (barring injuries). I have cover everywhere at least.

HIA in the 20th minute after 4 missed tackles and a knock on. Comes back on, which is a good thing because I’d never wish a head injury on anyone, slight hammy strain in the 35th minute. 2 - 3 weeks recovery. 7 points tonight. 10 points in his comeback game R21.

Downvote away lads

Just back from a bit of boating in Tin Can Bay. Superb day. Me, the missus, the dog. A couple of beers and some whiting. Nirvana.

Was more of a smashing pumpkins fan myself.

Did we win the lotto last night? I’m ready to send over the bank details for the mill. to be deposited.

Are you not worried about Tevaga dropping back to the bench when Tohu returns leaving you with 0 trades from R21 as you'd think Tevaga's scores would drop down to below keeper level on the bench

Nikora against a poor defensive team is probably where I'm leaning to.

He could still play 55 minutes from the bench, he's done it on a number of occasions since the start of last year. Besides, the form he's in dropping him wouldn't make sense, just start him but only play him 60- minutes or so.

Thompson in doubt for wt. Mbye to fullback, Talau to debut if Thompson ruled out.

Setting up for the run home leaving me 2 trades after, do I; trade in Reynolds & Twal or DCE & Jazz? R&T more consistent or go for boom Daly&Jazz? already have SJ as my other half.

When fit, absolutely.  The main concern was the minutes he was getting.  With Brennan gone, any choice with half a brain would play him 60 minutes at least.

That's an amazing team for 8 trades still left over mate.

Cheers wolfy for the feedback, would actually have more trades if I didnt waste them on spuds like garrick and shitbread, but then i guess all of us made the same mistakes Do you think that twal -> arrow is too sideways?

Thompson could be out for a couple of weeks.

Tevaga is carrying an ankle injury but still performing at a high level and Reynolds is made of glass, hmmm...

I'd pioritize DCE over all of them. Is there anyone else you can get besides Tevaga who is a good option? How much do you have left over after getting DCE?

Thanks, only have 659k after DCE purchase so cant quite grab Twal

I actually spoke to Jazz in Wellington, he is loving the starts but keeps running out of gas, just doing what is best for the team.

My plan was to go Tevaga to Cook when Tevaga gets close to peaking. Am tempted to keep Tevaga and go Murray to Cook so that I can get Cook this week.

Would hate to make this trade and Tevaga ends up back on the bench and Murray goes back to same mins he had before Origin.

Murray will be back to his 60 minutes a game this weekend. Will score 58

I'd consider Tamou or Nathan Brown mate.

Tamou in some great form this season and the Panthers are using him a lot in attack, much like Brisbane are with Haas, and he's been looking threatening with his runs lately.

Brown played 65 minutes last week and scored 60 so another good POD option. Could be back to his best...?

Look at Brown mate.

Another vote for brown

Should have read this first.
