NRL Fantasy 2019 Part 83

I don't think he's a bad shout but if you're going balls to the wall look for someone who might crack a tonne.

I'm sticking safe with Haas, personally. If I was going risky I'd look at Bateman against the Warriors or Brooks to continue his form against the Sharks.
Brooks recent form is ridiculous: 45, 64, 61, 56, 95, 85 for averages of 68 (6), 72 (5) or 79 (3).

Cam McInnes the only other player I can find who has scored back-to-back 80+ scores this season.

Nothing to lose at this stage. Just traded him in and putting the C on him.

I think he will score early to mid 50’s, it’ll be 5-6 missed tackles and an error that bring his score down.

for anyone considering Watson, Levi has been confirmed to miss out again through injury this week

Watson could get a ton of TB's through the Panthers.

I'm really hoping Cordner gets another rest, but against the Bunnies, I don't see it. I'm wondering what role Crichton has moving forward. Not that it matters as he's going to be playing. Maybe Aubbs needs a week rest going into finals!

Will be interesting if can field 17 players this week come TLT. So far might just get 17.

I wish I kept Watson... I traded him out in round 17

Had Verrills 68 on the pine and couldn't loop him in but he can come in for CM9 this week. Will have to flick Watson to the halves for Johnson and bring Garrick in to WFB. If CS9 gets a rest will have to rely on Staggs. 3 red dots it seems so far and 4 if CS9 does rest. Anymore pull outs and could be in trouble for having 17. Plan is just to stay in the top 100.

The secret to winning is honey, always on top because we never go off

My overall rank round by round this year. So devastated I couldn't maintain top 100. Held onto ARey for too long and stuffed up a loophole in round 21 i think where Papen and Hughes were out and Walter made an appearance in my starting 13 and scored a juicy 3 points

Post from Storm R25 Injury Report re Munster (https://www.melbournestorm.com.au/news/20192/09/02/round-25-injury-report/?fbclid=IwAR1wnDx4neYacPqILA1h4ae7PWlzXTAtZ9-VIO5fDyGvG0utV04n4OpK16c)

"He just irritated the (shoulder/neck) area but he's moving well and he will be monitored during the week."

The way it says he will be monitored suggests he's not a guaranteed rest which is interesting. Please let him play I need all the players I can get

Cheers mate I’m thinking either D. Fifita or Watson.

I’d personally go Watson because I just think surely D Fifita can’t go that big 3 weeks running? Due a 38 or 46 or something like that? Watson as starting hooker avgs 66, is basically producing Cook stat lines.

Not fantasy related, but Cronk missed last weeks game because his 1yo smacked him in the eye with a book. Most relatable injury this season.

With the injuries my h2h opponent is being forced to think about his replacements instead of copying my team, as he normally would.

i couldn't imagine him being named if he was anything less than 100%, no reason to risk aggravating anything over an irrelevant game

Just looking at the FOG and saw that MS is 5 ranks and 5 points below me.
Sworn mortal enemy of mine, I'm not sure if I've ever finished above him in the rankings (although I constantly claim he's never beaten me).

He has Munster, Johnson and McInnes.
Bastard has Ponga who can move into the halves, Fusitua who can cover the gap in WFB and either Staggs or Lane to come into the 17.

That is what planning is, kids. With no trades he can still cover three outs.

Learn.

Nice one mate.


I swear the Zazu's are in and around the top 10 or 20 overall every year

Bloke is ridiculous!

Interesting hey. Ponissi also said they will "likely" rest him, but would not confirm

I think Bellamy is genuinely worried about resting players in the last round of the season.

Still, i just dont think he plays.

Pretty sure D Fifita just did back to back 90+

I'd be amazed if Ted suits up this week, btw. Robinson has rested players and rotated all season and treats finals like a whole new competition. One of Cronk or Keary to sit down too, not that that's fantasy relevant, maybe Latrell as well.
