2018 NRL Dream Team Virtual Sports/Sports Deck (VSDT) Part 1

Yeah, Im waiting on news for him too. I've seen stuff that says anything from 1 week up to 4 weeks but in general it seems its not as bad as first thought. Sorry don't have any sources of details you can bank on, but I think the verdict was a bone bruise and nothing more serious than that. Seems like it could just be 1 week.

I don't own Brown, but NRL has him listed as back week 8.

Still nothing on Murray although straight after I traded him out (because I was concerned there was no news) I saw a post suggesting it was just a minor tweak and the implication was he would be back this week. That being said I haven't seen any more on this.

My approach will be first to wait and see what news comes out, and then at this stage I think its fine to carry one guy, tricky but doable to carry 2, but probably not realistic to carry three guns on the sidelines.

The worst thing with all these three guys is that they are probably all likely to play 13. Makes me more reluctant to trade them out...

A roughie to consider taking a punt on in the next few weeks could be Jack Williams. DPP 2RF/C and seems to have gotten a starting 2RF spot due to sharks injuries. He is only $164k and if he gets 60min he could be a good cash out/starting C if you are struggling for a C to partner Matterson.

Anyone know much about him?

I can’t do Arrow being out as well man! I am looking at a score of 500 this week haha!

I traded in Williams last week, purely so I had a DPP in my 2RW if I ever needed to bring Matterson back down, so I for one would be ecstatic if he not only gets game time, but makes some coin as well

Could end up being a master stroke mate!

TLT with shed some light on the injury situation one would think so things should be a bit clearer in 12 hours or so.

If Fifita is out for 4 weeks, I'll ditch him for DCE.

Hope we get some news in the next day or two

I think keeping JT at this point is a good idea. It would be a luxury trade for me at this point but I would consider bringing him in at his current price. Could give you 50 points extra in round 13 and perhaps make some decent money by then too.

Yes, Im awaiting news on Fifita. Asked in the other thread but no reply. Is there any info out? Its a shame cause he was heading for a monster score last round. 2 rounds is a hold for me. Anything more and I'll consider trading him out. Don't like that much $ on the sidelines!!

Don't forget that assuming Scott, Lolo, Hess and possibly McLean get picked for origin will mean Thurston will be playing behind a VERY skinny pack !!

Rippin and Tearin wrote:Gonna be some challenging situations if Murray, Arrow, Fifi, Gallen and Brown all out this week. Could make or break the season depending on how you deal with it.

As a point of Reference
Top team currently has: Fifi, Murray and Arrow
2nd has: Gallen and Arrow
3rd: Fifi, Murray, Brown, and Arrow
4th: Fifi and Arrow
and our very own 5th: Fifi, Murray, Brown, and Arrow

So everyone dealing with some shit up the top, but that's probably to be expected!!

Isn't Taumalolo playing for Tonga with Fifita and no origin? Or is he different and can play both?

quicksand wrote:

If he played for NSW he would be out ala Fifita, but he plays for QLD and we all know that QLD is EVERYWHERE including Tonga. So who knows ?

Take an upvote! That is what I want to hear

Yep, for me it means having to choose between Kikau and Fifita for last reserve, but figure that's better than getting an AE from the lowest of Croker, Gennings, Isaako, Hiku, Carty etc.
