NRL Fantasy Part 74 - The Mods are Asleep Edition

I'm a bit concerned about Papy's scores for the next few games. I'm expecting a couple 30's in the mix. I can use Niu to put him in the loop, but i'll need a decent alternative

How many trades left? Pearce's KM didn't take a major hit with Green arriving, which was the concern. Just a lower than usual tackle count and 7 missed + no attacking stats in a big win. Would also factor in the Knights run home includes Cowboys, Warriors, Dragons, Titans. Chance to go big in a couple of those. Think it's definitely a slight upgrade, but not sure if it's enough unless you're flush with trades.

Head says hold but from memory Pearce tailed off last year as well (should actually check the stats)

Edit: only 2 scores above 50 in last 8 rounds (no 40s either and a couple of 20s) for a 36.5 avg

6 trades left mate.

I only have one hooker currently in Hunt as well. Only guys to upgrade to Cook or McInnes are Murray, Yeo or Lucy.

Should be a few happy broncs fans this week. re their current coach

I've updated my team tracker if anyone is kind enough to offer advice, I'm a bit stuck.

Didn't have the best week last week, finished up on 927 and dropped almost 200 spots to 698 in the rankings. Traded out Grant for Cook and while I still have faith it will be okay in the long term, it doesn't feel like a great trade atm.

Considering Pearce > Moses this week. However trades are tight and this does feel like a luxury trade.

I have almost 300k in the bank which I need to use to upgrade Young. Considering Taupau or Twal as I do not have FRF cover

3 trades, 6k in the bank and rank 218. My general strategy is hold on for dear life and only trade for injuries now.

McInnes
MoFo, Haas
Yep, Lolo, Luciano
DCE, Cleary
Aubo, Aitken
Paps, Ponga, Teddy

Carrigan, Murray, Hunt, McIntyre

Sironen, Clune, Niu, Fermor

NRL App BE:

Moses 43
Pearce 56

Obviously scoring for the round has a part to play but if cash is tight it could be a close thing if you wait a week.

Contemplating this move as well, was planning to bring Ted in but he has a BE of 100 so might ride the gauntlet one more week

Cheers for that mate.

If I’m gonna move Pearce to Moses it’ll have to be this week then.

I have a photo of a chat that has been circling around a few groups… I have no clue on the source or if it is true but it goes like this..

Apparently Staggs ex, who released the vid has been fucking Seibold. Hence seibold staying in Sydney for ‘family’ reasons.
It has all come out apparently, Boyd has removed himself from the leadership group, TPJ self sabotaged to get a few weeks away from the shit storm (good mates with Staggs), Siebs now completely on the outer.
The Weidler this morning has reported “Staggs ex no stranger to the broncos – she has been lined to another man at the club”

Take with a grain of salt please!

I think a lot of us Pearce owners will be mulling over a sideways trade to Moses. It's very luxurious though as you say.

Taupau should be right to play you would think playing Sunday. I'm looking at him too. He was looking great until Hetherington did his best Hills Hoist impression on him.

Would it be bad to run 2 trades for the final 5 weeks? Thinking of changing my plans and aiming for Brimson and Teddy this week and grab Fifita and Matterson next week? Will have a decent 18th man in Brimson and only 2 trades from R16-R20…

there are massive problems at the club, but no way that story is true.

Any news on if the new coach likes haas playing 80 hahah

Thinking of keeping Butcher and Lucy for one more week. Young BE is creeping up but he does have Broncos this week... those minutes are so out of wack though so too much ? around it. Butcher should get another week on the edge and Lucy low BE against the dogs, another score north of 50+ sees him over 760K....or a keeper.

Holy crap! Do I wait 1 more week on Teddy or is missing out on points worse than him losing another 40K??? Would have Ponga/Papy/Brimson/Herbie/HTF for one more week?

I think I'm waiting one more week....maybe

@Rabbits21 Only 5 trades left before any trades mate

Need to use at least one to upgrade Young. If i use another to upgrade Pearce I will only be trading out guns with long term injuries (3 + weeks)
