There is no such thing as safe in NRL Fantasy. Look at Jake Friend last week for example. Was a safe 45-50 going into the game.

I know, assume nothing.

Bugger it, my trades will be;

Ponga - Munster
Wallace - JDB
Niko - Foghorn

Then as long as those two players combined don't lose 33K or more, next week it's;

Suli - Edwards
Brailey - Smith

If for some reason they completely fuckup, Edwards will have to come from Semi, SMat, Cotric, Lamb one of those.  Was going to get Edwards now which would be safe and then via a cashout next week from anyone I want, like Yates if Suli fucks it I can get Smith in, but not sure if I like that idea.

Just checked out the prospectus. I believe Nicholls was referring to U20s when he said he scored a 56 there last year.

I get what you're saying and you're probably right but I'm not convinced about Hayne. If I went through with it this is what my team would look like for round 19:

Smith McInnes
Brown James Taupau Fai
Taumalolo JDB Surgess Gallen Crichton Eisenhuth
SJ Norman Cleary NuBrown
BJ Turbo Fuimaono Scott
RTS Munster Edwards Radradra Phythian

Mate any advice I give you seems to go badly, but I think they are excellent trades. Two guns and a bye playing cashout with dpp. I have JDB and am getting the other two. And if the cash flow doesn't go right for you next week, worry about it then. I wouldn't say I play conservatively though.

Thanks mate, that makes me feel more solid with what I'm planning on.  I have 15 trades so will leave me with 10 after next week which is fine.  The money side of it is in my favour, but as you say, I'll worry about it then.  If I can't cash Suli maybe Yates.  The only reason why I wanted to do Suli was keep Yates for 18, but you can't win 'em all.

With the cashflow potentially going either way, I even though of Walker instead of Munster or Vaughn instead of JDB, just to make sure I'd have the cahs, but I don't think that would be all that smart.  I think both Musnter and JDB are the way to go.  Vaughn would be a solid option as opposed to JDB, but for the minor price difference, I think JDB is the way to go.

I asked this same question earlier (my trade out will also be Whitehead) and got no response. I had wished there was a poll option but should have done what you did.
Looks like Surgess is the winner so far, despite Taumalolo being cheaper with a higher average. My gut was saying Surgess but I wasn't sure why. It's good to see what others think. Which way were you leaning?

wolfking wrote:

Surgess all the way.

I went through this before the byes started so the memory is a little hazy, but i seem to recall he required two more games at either WFB or CTR to gain a DPP in that spot. Since then i think he played from the bench or 2nd Row in the bye round so that would mean he requires another game at CTR after this week to get DPP there. I might be wrong though.
