NRL Fantasy Part 74 - The Mods are Asleep Edition

I have a few options this week. Only have one hooker in Hunt in my side so I think that’s a concern. I can get Cook or McInnes in but would have to sell one of Lucy, Murray or Yeo. 

I also have Pearce who I am a bit concerned about, is a trade to Moses to sideways?

Another option is trading out S. Crichton to Tevaga to make my 17th man stronger and push Siro to 18th man. Although this leaves me no centre coverage is this stupidity? (Could deal with that when I have to trade Aubbs). I already have Latrell and Aubusson at centre.

Team with 6 trades left and 179k spare is:

Hunt
Haas MoFo
Murray Taumalolo Yeo
Cleary Pearce
Latrell Aubusson
Teddy Ponga Pap

Carrigan Taupau Lucy Sironen
S. Crichton Hammer Randall Niu

Probably just want to make one trade this week and hold onto 5.

What would you guys advise I do?

Rank is 335 highest I’ve ever been and I’d love a top 300 finish.

Just the reduced minutes Wolfie.

Ah. Nah, I don't think there's any cause for concern just yet.

I think its quite obvious MattNZ didnt make this up on his own.

Can anyone update me on the TLT carnage?

Not too much...
CS9 still out, Twal still out, Averilo out
Tariq Sims out for up to 6 wks, Fui back on the radar
Norman back in
Granville at 14 again, not great for Robson
Drinkwater at 1
Pangai OUT of the team
Liddle back in

the usual stuff

Flanno at 21
Wiliame at 19... Lomax a possible late out

Hunt back at 9, McInnes at 13

HTF to the wing
Talau to the wing

I didn't notice that Sims was out till just now.

Looks like Fui's back on the menu boys! I didn't buy him the first time so I feel better about buying him

If it is what helps you field 17 he’s a great choice. Especially looking at your side he was the first name that popped into my head.

Could have a couple of scores in the 20’s but should have a number of scores around 40ish as well.

I’d expect him to get around 55mins and Host gets the last 20-25mins.

Hmm tricky one, I rate Moses higher than Pearce, but I'm a bit concerned about Moses' calf injury a few rounds back.
I don't think trading out Murray, Yeo, or Lucy is a good idea either, maybe in a few rounds.
I would probably hold for now.

Considering that my other option is Lam, I'm willing to take it, as once Flanagan is back, Lam goes back to the bench, though he is a nice handcuff for him. Fui seems like he'll stay in that spot for all but the last round of the season, and idk if the Dragons would even bother playing Sims in that last game if he isn't 100% right.

I would do the Crichton to Tevaga trade. Could easily get yourself an extra 20-30 points a week not having to play siro and points are what matter now. Still leaves you trades to move Pearce on if you need to and worry about Aubs when he loses his starting spot (he should be an easy enough swap to another centre).

Shocking that Bellamy didn't risk his most important player, when sitting comfortably in the top 4 and finals a little over a month away.

Pay little attention to those muppets at Fox.

Thanks mate. Not sure what I’ll do yet, I’m finding this a tough crucial week to decide.

My worry letting S. Crichton go is he has DPP and can fill in at WFB as well and is more reliable than Hammer.

I only have 1 hooker though which is concerning me.

Lucy now Mbye is back at centre probs won’t get good ball off Brooks. Lucy can’t keep his try scoring up either so I think we have seen the best of his scoring for the season. 

I am considering Lucy to Cook. Lucy is probs around a 50 point scorer from this point on whilst Cook should be mid 60’s.

The Crichton to Tevaga trade is tempting though.

Re Pearce I think I’ll hold and hope for the best.

Carrigan will be fine. We finally had a decent forward pack last week where minutes needed to be shared but with TPJ gone Carrigans extra bench time will go to Teo as he can barely play 20.minutes without being gassed.

Wouldn't be surprised if Carrigan goes close to 80 this week.

I love how you ranked Munster higher than Hammer even though he's not playing lol.

If I went Cookie instead of McInnes I could sneak Moses in for Butcher with a buck or two to spare.
3 trades remaining worries me so much more than 4 though.

Haha and I’d much rather a 0 than the possibility of a -5

Do you think new coach will finally stop flogging Haas for 80 all the time?

Seems like a 2021 problem, unless news ltd step in before then

I know you're probably talking about Gentle, but he's a Siebold guy and he'd just be following instructions, I'm guessing, unless he goes rogue. Either way, if Siebold is sacked, then so is he.

You would have to think lesser mins for Haas and closer to 80 from Carrigan might be the switch up this week. Either way, lock in Raiders by 30+

I know you're probably talking about Gentle, but he came with Siebold, and Siebold is still the coach. Doubt he goes rogue, but you would have to think lesser mins for Haas and closer to 80 from Carrigan might be the switch up this week. Either way, lock in Raiders by 30+

Bateman matching up against Te’o should be interesting to say the least (assuming Fifita stays on the right)
