NRL Fantasy 2019 Part 80

Righteo I think I’ll hold my two trades and hold Jazz, gggguuuullllppppp.

Not sure if I’m making the right call but time will tell

If Jazz bombs out this week I can always look to go Jazz to Peats next week as it looks like Peats will keep playing 80mins at lock.

Another option would be Finucane.

Not sure what the point of Shibasaki on the bench is, would prefer to see Perese there given another run to see what he can do.

Are you using the money for elsewhere. I think someone like Ma'u, JFH are a better bet for the final 3 rounds

Still unsure how KBrom is affected by Stimson in run home

Not sure if you’re trolling me with that line on Stimson. He was reason I didn’t start with KBrom. Which shit me all year.

I can afford ma’u. But, He plays before we find out about tolo

Nah not trolling, also shit me not starting with KBrom. Should have realised that Bellamy will stick with a winning formula at the start of the season

I'm surprised Stimson is still getting gametime and they're not playing one of the younger guys as Stimson is going to Dogs. There was a period around the byes where KBrom was being subbed off for Stimson but since it has changed a bit (though some games had mitigating circumstances - e.g. Rabbitohs game Stimson went to CTR with Olam failed HIA)

Edit: From looking at the recent minutes, it looks like KBrom is getting back to the minutes he had at the start of the season without Stimson but still not sure

Alright if Tolo is out I'm going Burns to Hiku. He's dual CTR/WFB so like-for-like. Doesn't score that well but capable of 50s.

This is in the hope that if Lolo doesn't play, he plays the final 2 rounds and I don't need Hiku for those games anyway. Fingers crossed. Plan sorted.

Odds on they say that based on him being in number 18, and not any actual inside info.

If he doesn't play, I'll be short this week.
My only playing 2rf cover are Bateman and Nikora, and with Burns out they are both required at CTR

The risks of running many hookers and no trades.

I ran with 16 last week because I took GreenMachine's advice and loaded up on hookers. Luckily I pulled something out of my Hass last week and managed 997.

This week if Tolo is out it will only hinder my overall because i qualified top 2nd in my league.

To Tolo's health.

Surely you can do better than a Warriors players Filth.

It's either him or Skiddy! Not sure who's worse!

Just realized storm are 1-14 rep players.

Also Dragons look like they might get rag dolled by the Roosters this week. Ford on one edge (looked hungry on offense didnt notice him on D) and Leilua on the other (prone to defensive decision making mistakes).
I think Crichton is lined up against him. Cheeky POD captain for those who still have him/recently traded him in.

A bit surprised Surgess has been named actually, the injury didn't  look good.

Last week I got 995 with 16, (plus 4 from Braidon Burns for 999 total)
If Burns's 4 becomes a zero its not the worst loss.

Are you playing h2h this week? I dont think i would win with 16

I'm in a bunch of leagues, so without looking it up, I probably have a H2H game in one of them.

Sole concern is overall rank, but without trades the best I can do is hope for the best

If Tolo doesnt play, 1st has 16 with Twal (bench) and Tevaga (dodgy ankle).. pre any trades of course.. shall be interesting

I guess Fifita bench for me isnt ideal, but i feel like he can score 50

For those that are possibly looking at trading Lolo, and you're looking at Thursday night players, you'd think the 24 hour updated team should give enough information as to whether he plays if he remains in the reserves or is promoted to the team and can therefore decide if you want to trade

Kinda torn how I'm going to set up my own team, maybe a loop between Fifita and Carrigan, but at the expense of cover by putting Taupau in starting team

With Segy and Shiba on the bench you would expect big mins from Carrigan. He is a PPM monster. Depending what mood Tapau is in would be a good loopy. Whats your 14-21 look like?

If we don't have more info on Taumalolo by Thursday morning I'll be using my last two trades on Lolo + Burns > JTurbo and Lane

JTurbo gets a spot in the 17 and Lane gives a nice 18th man loop option(Thursday game, 2nd Friday, 1st Friday) for the rest of the year.

Would like to go Marsters or Nofo but both play after my NPR in 2/3 games

Hughes another decent option loopable in 2/3 remaining games however not sure he has the floor I want

TPJ out for 5 weeks
