NRL Fantasy 2019 Part 82

Last year was that centre  from dragons that is still shit. Can’t even remember his name.

This year has to be Morgan, cht, or Stimson?

Haas was one that everyone had until he was dropped. He has killed it though.

Dylan fucking Edwards. What made matters worse is that he's done what we expected from him in round 1 in the second half of the year just to spite us.

And yes, Holland.

My last trade will be N. Brown to any player 674k or under. I was going A. Fifita but the Raiders game & because he's starting off the bench I can't see him going large or am I thinking too much. Here's a list of players. Please pick 1 as my N. Brown replacement:
(a) K. Bromwich (this actually leaves me with 0 bank so is it a sign) or
(b) L. Mitchell (huge ceiling) or
(c) Tolman (consistent 50-60 pts) or
(d) A. Fifita (probably the best option if he starts & he wore no strapping v the Warriors) or
(e) Garner (a punt can go large if he stays on the field)

Thoughts & thanks.

@White Lightning Fifita or Latrell

Will he still have enough left of his pension to be able to afford petrol for the ride on to mow his 5 acres ?

I've got 3. Fifita, Murray, Nikora.

Ive got Taupau, Murray, JFH, Nikora, RTS and Burns out and in again. Fifita pretty much lasted the whole season but i was forced to trade him a couple of weeks ago to avoid burns score

Thanks, I wasn't worried about not getting it. He's a cranky old prick but I couldn't see him being a welcher.

5 players had since the start - fifita, cook, Murray, nikora, Teddy.
6 if you include brining burns back in.

Mitchell. Huge ceiling and up against panthers. Could be in for a massive score.

Mitchell tempts me but I don't think he goes well against Souths the following week. Only scored in the 30s against them last time, albeit that was at the start of the year.
He's a good punt but not sure if he's the best.

I've been tossing up between him and Fifita and I reckon Fifi has more upside and less downside.

NRL Late Mail:

Warriors pair Blake Green and Leeson Ah Mau are in doubt for Friday night's clash against South Sydney with knee concerns.

Warriors coach Stephen Kearney said he will decide after Thursday's captain's run whether Green and Ah Mau will take the field against the Rabbitohs, with both playing only limited roles at training this week.

Rabbitohs forward Sam Burgess is expected to play after overcoming a quad injury.

That first game was also a fucking sludgefest!!!! His head was also way into the game getting into a number of biffs with Walker and the likes.

Surely Cook doesn't get rested if the Bunnies pull out a big enough lead does he?

Cook v Warriors - Looks to be some rain hanging around today and tomorrow
Haas v Eels - Rain predicted today and early tomorrow clearing into the arvo
Smith v Manly - Rain and showers predicted all weekend until Sunday.
McInnes v Dragons - Rain and showers all weekend with clear skies predicted Sunday for the game.
Teddy v Panthers - See above.

All major captaincy options this week look like being slightly wet games.

That means there is a few of us absolutely pulling the forum rank / average way way down, with a huge majority killing it. And yes I'm looking at you Rev!
I am actually going to drop from L6 I think

I'm just lucky I have such high quality jokes, otherwise I'd be 'rested' or banished !

5 for me. Cook, Murray, A. Fifita, Taupau and Nikora.

Dylan Edwards who did fuck all and lost me about 170k, then in the run home he’s come good recently, typical!

They just keep us around for our good looks.

I started with tapine. What a fuck up. Lucky he broke early.

Can’t decide if I do nbrown to Fifita and leave as is, or nbrown to Latrell.

Option two gives me coverage, plus the ability to loop two of, cnk, Xerri and Latrell.

Makes it harder to pick a captain.

I reckon McInnes will refuse to tackle his own team so he won't score many points.
