2018 NRL.com Fantasy Thread Part 5

Just tried a 5 hooker team, I actually really like it. It relies on a few selections, but I think it can go well. Any advice is appreciated.

CS9
Ese Ese Lodge
Murray RFM Arrow
Pearce JRey
Milne Hiku
Nofoaluma Ponga GI

Cook
Lichaa
Watson
Carty

Evans
Garvey
Sione Katoa (sharks winger not Penrith hooker)
Jamayne Isaako

Whats your reasoning behind pearce and jrey?
Questions around arrow now with carty at lock most likely too?

Smith (C)
Lodge JBrom
Arrow Crichton (VC) JTurbo
Cleary Watson
Hiku Milne
Ponga Tedesco Katoa

RFM, Kikau, Havili, Cartwright

Butcher, Evans, Kennar, Isaako

Cheers guys.

Solid team there. However do you think Cleary will come down in price now that Maloney is there?

Am keen to see who gets the Canberra lock role this year? Tapine?

It is apparently whitehead. With tapine moving to edge

Juicy!

Listened to the fantasy nrl podcast again in the background where they focussed on ctrs/wfbs. they had some wraps on the eels player Leleisiuao as being one to watch as he was a tackle busting freak in the u20's that may get a run this year

also spoke about mitchell and the roosters opening draw being relatively easy which may mean points. looked at the roosters 2018 draw and they only play the storm,panthers,cowboys,eels,sharks once.

not sure how that stacks up with other teams but I would imagine thats pretty favourable.

Something I posted a couple of threads ago:

Further digging on Whitehead. Only the first two games at centre. No games in the halves, played two at 5/8 the year before. At the end of the season played three games at lock and one from the bench.

Price: $604,000 priced at 41.2
2017 avg: 41.3
2016 avg: 52
2017 avg minus the two games at centre: 44.2
Avg at lock (3 games): 39.7
Avg at lock 80 min (2 games): 53

Yep, whitehead and tapine very appealing. Gotta try guess who gets 80 mins though.

Can't see Tapine playing 80 with his more explosive style

Tapine's few games of 80 on the edge aren't great reading stats wise, but just looks like a beast and you have to think would go well.

Saw a chart recently that, long story short, showed the roosters as having the easiest draw of any team since 2002 or something

Harris or Thurston guys if you have to pick one?

Gonna be tough choices, lots of value at 2FR: Brown, Harris, Murray, Arrow, Whitehead, RFM, and even Tapine, SST, McQueen and others I've forgotten.

Constantly changing but currently have Maubbs, Ted and Latrell, too many Rorters?

I'd back Harris to get back to 50 over JT. Just

Tough one but I think Harris. I can't fit him in and he is the one making me constantly try to change my team and get him in.

@Welshy, Brown or Harris?
