NRL Fantasy 2019 part 73

Fuck this week. I’ve changed my mind again. If I keep Fifato, I could do something very nasty with Clark and Garrick. The kid might score a brace of meaties....could be the next Haas Not that I would ever stoop to such a thing.

Yep that’s the scary thing, could be above 850k in a fortnight.

It’s either Cook or Haas with the C for me, haven’t decided yet.

Rabbits, there is a subforum here for our Community team (the Fantasy Fanatics celebrity team is run from this forum by a series of polls)

https://www.nrlfantasyfanatics.com/f12-celeb-community-team

Every week we vote on captain - so if you want to get advice on captaincy, you can get a good idea by checking out what this community thinks.
The trade polls can also give a useful idea on what people think about certain trade in targets (but depending on how similar your team is to the community team, may not always be relevant)

This week 83% of us are on Cook as captain, he looks like a solid choice

Its far too early to be stuffing around with team planning, but there's no need to start with Jurbo.

His scores are very consistent (but a touch below being ideal captain material), so he's unlikely to suddenly jump put of reach in price - perfect to just start without and then jump on once you've made some cash (or forget about because you've blown all your trades too early)

I probably won't be starting with Haas either - surely he can't improve on his current output. And he doesn't have a single injury/poor score to give him a price discount.

Without CTR to tempt us, Bateman probably will drop down the desirability list.

Otherwise like WL, said go a gun in every position, but it depends what happens with the cheapies? Will we get a glut of cheap playable CTRs like this year? In someways the cheapies available might dictate where you spend your big money.

Lol I try to go with my head over heart.

It’s on Cook at the moment but Haas against the Titans is tempting.

In saying that the Titans are due a win

Read my post on the bottom of page 10

Garrick is up against the good defensive edge of Storm (JAC + Olam) so wouldn't expect as much from him then if he was lining up against Storm's weaker right side defence

Probably not going to be much of a winger's game with Storm v Sea Eagles - can see the forwards racking up points

Tolo it is! No Fifita for the sharks and can see Tolo having the ball ALOT tonight and targetting the edges quite a bit and the week middle. Will get his second Tonne for the year tonight! Jump on the Tolo Express.

I would just like to formally apologise for all my shit about captains. With 1 trade, my final team and no trade plans I don't have much else to worry about, so it's all I have.....

Well Clark for 60 then.

Crichton to Murray next week would be the play I think, rather than Fifita this week. Could cost somewhere in the neighbourhood of 80k though.

Try it out!

(I added this very quickly so probably not perfect/ideal)

Doing the lords work. When you die and go to heaven I hope it's filled with unbreakable TVs.

Tempted to trade Allan out for Shane Wright.. would leave 3 trades and 47k. Probably wise to just hold though..

Corey Allan? Fuck him right off. Shane Wright looks like a keeper.
If it's improving your 17 do it. 3 trades left is fine.

PULL THE TRIGGER SON!

Are you keeping him around to remind yourself what a potato looks like?

I thought you would've been the first of everyone to send him packing after Rd 12 in both NRLF and SC

Meant to be thumbs up
Sorry

Any chance someone could chuck up a poll for the forum team with loop options? I’m dealing with kids right now!!

ANyone sticking with CS9 as captain? Any reason why I shouldn't?

Cook

He's one of "the big four" options these days between Cook, Smith, Lolo and Haas.
Cook seems to be the preferred option this week but nothing saying Smith can't pull out another big performance.

For no good reason I'd probably rank them this week

1. Cook
2. Lolo
3. Smith
4. Haas
