NRL Fantasy 2019 Part 79

Down 50 ranks on tonight which is pretty decent considering I only had Jurbo playing tonight. Got some big hopes for Moses (C), though it seems half the forum's done it too so that won't really gain me that many ranks if it does pay off.

FWIW the Top 20s captains are (this will be imperfect as it's top 20 as of now, not beginning of round)

Cook 11
Smith 3
Haas 3
Moses 2
McInnis 1

Thought Moses would be higher if I'm being honest. Don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing because he's still owned by a fair chunk of the top 20 (I think it was 16 of top 25)

Only 3 in the top 50 captained Moses. You'll make up ground if he goes well.


Cook and Haas by far the most popular options, you want them to be fairly quiet to make big ground.

This will be fun

How much havoc do we think the tolo Fifita droppings will play. Super popular players, many teams running with 16? Or with a super shit player or two?

I'm running with 16 this week, who needs 17? right?
Had a pretty good start last night with DCE, TTurbo, Fainu and Twal having acceptable scores... I might get by if the rest of the team follows the same trend

lol, turns into an insurance survey pretty quickly.. hope they enjoy the useless information I gave them on that.

Yeah I brought him in, luckily he was outside my 17.
Thought he’d make a good 19th man or looping option but now I just have a very expensive red dot.
Also means I had to pick up Arrow instead of Murray, gutted.

It’s going to shake things up a bit for sure. Had a look at the top 10 last night, and one guy for example is running Xerri 16 and red dot 17. Now he might still have trades to make, but maybe not. Meanwhile another dude in the 10 still had Ponga looping I think, so pretty crazy depth.

I have to trade to get 17 unless Lomax suits up. Got 3 trades but no idea which way to go. Tempted to burn 2 for Moses but that's at the expense of Tolo.

I am quite likely playing Staggs and Xerri.

If staggs completely bombs tonight though, i may pull the trigger on fifita or lolo out, to avoid his score.

Its a tough call.

Really hoping Tevaga and Burns have quiet games, as two guys I dont own.

Will prob have to cut fifi, prob bring nikora back as i have no ctr coverage atm

JTlolo is showing back as a green dot, surely just an error right? He's not recovered miraculously?

Bad luck, I nearly did the same to be able to afford Moses before Tolo went down and made up my mind in a different direction for me.

I did always have that nagging feeling that he broke every time he tried to play rugby league

Strategically went with CM9 as captain for my cash league. Anything over 60+ will be appreciated, thanks Cameron

Enjoying the carnage of fifi and tolo being out this week, will really test the depth on alot of teams.

Thought I captained Murray this week. Was super excited to go with a ballsy pick but realised this morning I accidentally left it on Haas. Looking at the Panthers last few games they miss a lot of tackles and Haas breaks a lot of tackles. This is a game where Broncos need to prove they're a threat for the title, at Suncorp hopefully Haas can have a big one.

You have the king of missing tackle returning for that game so as long as Haas runs hard, easy 6+ TBs
