NRL Fantasy 2019 part 73

Only 3.

Yeah just sick of Brooks.

Some TLT predictions from ST himself and a little help from other sources:
Sharks - Dugan and Morris both to return. Feki and Moylan to be monitored through the week.
Cowboys - Morgo not ready yet but will be named in reserves.
Knights - Lino/Watson into 6. Mann back to CTR or Bench as he was found out a few times defensively on the weekend.
Tigers - Thompson back to FB with Mbye and MCK reverting back to their original roles. Garner to drop off.
Rabbitohs - Turgess to return. Johnston to be in reserves.
Dragons - Lots of changes to the backline with BHunt, Lomax, Widdop, Sailor all inclusions in this weeks side.
Eels - Fergo still out with Blake to go into CTR for Hoffman and Parry to keep his spot on the wing.
Warriors - Ken is due back but Fus still out due to hamstring. Niko will be named but monitored with ankle injury. Lawton and Herbert also hoping to be fit.
Titans - AJ is expected to be fit to play. I think they give Ash another week seeing their season is over.
Broncos - Flegler suspended but Gillett due back. Might see Farnworth/Coates make their way into the CTR's with Glenn expected to revert back to second row.
Storm - Vunivalu will miss a week so I expect Earl plus their origin stars all to be named.
Sea Eagles - Des may keep the spine the way it is as it seems to click pretty well on the weekend. Won't be surprised to see Cust left out.
Bulldogs - Montoya ruled out for the season so Holland should find his way into the team. Foran and Tolman a chance to return.
Roosters - Liu expected to return this week with Radley or Verrils expected to go into the hooking role. Manu expected back this week also so expect BMoz or Hall to miss out
Panthers - Kikau will be named but is fighting his charge. Martin should be back from his quad injury but not sure he finds his way back in the team after a thrashing against the Dragons.
Raiders - Hudson Young will push for a spot in the side somewhere.

Burns hammy, apparently

You have to be fucking kidding me! Poor bloke if it is true. Looked fine on the weekend. Hopefully just a precautionary thing and Burns will pull through. If it is the case then Drinkwater will come in at FB and Mann will be on the bench.

My source re hammy is some random on a facebook post.

He didn't train though. Officially, no idea why.

Surely even with one leg he could run around the Dragons defence, please don't miss out on the game Burns

The Rabbitohs are likely to welcome back prop Tom Burgess, who got through training on Tuesday after a layoff with an ankle injury, but his brother Sam is likely to miss another week or two while he manages a shoulder infection.

Sam got through some running before the Tuesday field session and his teammates said they were hopeful the skipper would only miss another game or two. Centre Braidon Burns only played a limited role at training as he continues to be managed back from a long-term hamstring injury but is not in doubt for the Dragons game on Friday.

Warriors five-eighth Kodi Nikorima didn't train on Tuesday while Jazz Tevaga limped away from training today with what appeared to be the same ankle injury he's been battling since round 11.

In other Warriors news, Ken Maumalo trained at full contact, Karl Lawton trained with a limited contact bib on, Patrick Herbert trained with the main squad while David Fusitu'a worked with the rehab group before leaving training early.

If Burns is out and Lomax isn't back, I'm playing 16. This potentially could be my season (not that my 1200 rank is worthwhile). Have 4 trades but don't want to burn another 2.

I was looking at his 5 game avg and he was smiling back at me with a smirk.

That's when I decided to trade him to Moses.

Cmon burnsy, apply some dencorub on it, she'll be right.

Burns lives! Hallelujah!

In other news, I'm up against White Lightning in the Eliminator and it's not looking good. Our unique players are:

Taupau - Jurbo
JFH - J Papalii
Watson - Wighton
Nikora - Latrell
Turbo - Ponga
RTS - McInnes
Twal - Tevaga
CNK - Burns
Xerri - To'o
Dearden DBrown
Whitbread - Fifita
Brittain - Walters

Basically for me to stand a chance, I need my POD squad of Burns, Tevaga, Wighton, Papalii and Latrell (Latrell is a POD among top teams) to fire up, as well as McInnes.

Good luck my dude, I'd say you'll likely beat me this week.

Good lad, Monty!

Jazz owners so relieved about Burns they didn’t notice their boy couldn’t get through training?

I get the sentiment but I think you’re proposing trading about the 11th best HLF to upgrade to the 10th best. Don’t.

When even Filth thinks it’s a bad trade you should move on. Bank the trade and ride with the group that got you here

YOU SHUT YOUR MOUTH WHEN YOU'RE TALKING TO ME!

As am I, nice. Versing Yipee Try-ay Motherruck this week. Great team name whoever you are.

Apparently Burns will play they are just being cautious.

That's Welshy. Had a tough first half of the season but seems to be improving a lot in the more recent weeks.

Ah nice!! Great head to head this one. Will have to have a squizz at his team. I've had two good weeks but not expecting the tri fecta haha.
