NRL Fantasy 2019 Part 75

I'm thinking I'm back on it, Titans team is actually horrific (no Brimson, Brian Kelly back in who has 8th highest MT in league)

Same was said last week mate for teddy against the Doggies where FBs been killing it!

Never trust a WFB, all about luck and pretty much them scoring or going Watson esque 15 TBs which is rare

Too much risk them getting a 35-45 when standard captains go 65+

I'd prefer personally a punt on JTurbo/Moses/Mcinnes if you want to go for it

Bugger. I need to bring Watson back in. Should never have sold him. I also should have done the Fifita > Murray trade last week instead of being swayed. Always stick with your gut. So, Garrick > Watson it is. Leaves only 2 trades and no CTR cover. I’ll just loop Wright and Hughes for a bit. I think Wright is a 50+ player in the 2RF. Anyone got any good info on when Friend is likely to be back? Verrills is worth another look before committing.

Cook, McInnes, Smith
Haas, Fifita, Taupau
Lolo, JFH, Matterson, (Wright)
Reyno, Watson, (Hughes)
Bateman, Nikora
RTS, Turbo, CNK

Clark, Deardon, Brittain.

258th. Took a huge hit last week. Ponga and Ted for HIA’s. Nothing serious, just a week or 2

Dogs actually show effort unlike Titans and it actually looks like Titans have worse record v FBs recently

Titans: Milford 68, Papenhuyzen 83, Edwards 96, Turbo 46
Dogs: Teddy 50, Milford 44, Watson 76, Moylan 37

Moses was one I was considering it honestly looks like he has a floor of 50+ nowadays

I'm not fully set on it as I don't really need to use a POD captain and will likely revert to CS9 but it's an interesting option nonetheless

At least you fucked Crichton off, wasn't much better than Wright in the end, nfi what happened to him, but should bounce back after he saw his fantasy score I'd reckon.

Will Burr go to 13 and Tevaga to 9? I dont think ive seen Lawton play a full 80 at hooker before

All the huge scores included one or more tries and 6, 10 and 15 TBS. Not saying Teddy won't but its a big risk. Turbos score will be the indicator if Teddy doesn't cross mate

He got shunted to right centre when Feldt went down in the 1st half. He then proceeded to drop balls, miss tackles and generally do fuck all. He went -2 in the 2nd half. He was utterly lost. Hopefully that doesn’t happen again. Now Crichton is starting, watch him put together a string of 60’s.

Obviously looks like Crichton wants out at the Rorters, not sure whats happened there, ain't been the same this year! would love to know if he was back playing 80 because he would go straight into my team

Issac Luke was unsuccessful at the judiciary and will miss 3 games. Does that mean Tevaga goes to hooker?

Lawton back to full contact, doubt he will play 80 though.

They could bring on CHT into the halves and nikorima could play some dummy half. But these sort of REshuffles havent really worked this year

Just read a bit about it on NRL site what garbage.

McCullough an option?

I’m back on board the Haas train actually as Captain as of right now.

Lol Judiciary - thought for sure he’d get downgraded to the same grade as Jurbo and reduced to a week. Does anyone think Lukes tackle was worse?

Quick survey - Who are the worst two options this week from these five: Wighton, bench Fifita, Kapow, NBrown, SJ? I think Wighton and Taupau, but bench Fifita worries me slightly too.

Ah right, figured he must've ended up at CTR, but thought maybe that was Hess after being named there this week.

Crichton starting is a bit of a kick in the guts, but took Cordner, JWH and SST out to happen. Should be playing 80, but never know with the way Robinson's been using him.

Fifita's always dangerous, so should pay off holding him.

Friend's had a plate put in his arm and won't be back until playoffs. That's according to the Roosters though, and they're not always reliable.

I actually think Taupau will outscore Brown.

Fifita should go well off the bench, but hopefully not too well as he’s playing against my mob.

DCE/TTurbo against an all over the place Knights team as a smokie.

I’ve done a 360 lol and I’m currently wanting to jump on the Haas train, are you confident?

Should still get through a lot of work.

I'm in 48th. Difficult to move rank too much because even if teams aren't the same they're all strong.

Very true. Just have to hopefor a couple of sub 20 scores from players you don't have, and hit a good captain choice or 2. Climb the ranks slowly.

Last few rounds might see some rank movement if any key players get injured. Those with trades/depth might be able to make a move

Fifita ain't getting less than 50 mins even if he is off the pine is he! Reckon he goes bonkers regardless
