2018 NRL.com Fantasy thread part 10

The good thing about this open bench is that you can upgrade any of you 8 reserves to whichever position player you require.

more flexibility with your funds and assets


A war chest is not as essential as in previous seasons

my tv broke wrote:In actual team news, Hooper is reporting that Ham Sandwich is out for the dragons, Latimore onto the bench. That's probably good news for anyone that's prepared to spend big on JDB....

I'm assuming that's Hame Sele, in which case wouldn't ham salad be better?

Also funny that yesterday the supercoach winner from last year was talking him up as one to watch in 2018

Thanks guys.......

Lichaa,SST or Murray?

I'm so keen to bring back Aitken. Gonna ummm and ahhh for a while lol

Cook, Ligi Sao, Isaiah Papalii, Godinet

Nicholls, Kennar, Thompson, Croker

Not a huge fan of the Crichton pick, definitely better value out there.
Not sure about Watson either, lots of strike in Pearce and Ponga's avenues, maybe he gets the scraps?
Love JDB pick though. A little cheaper then Crichton but hasn't; lost a digit, signed with another club and might get shunted early if the Rabbits come out of finals contention.

Just my opinion although and I am a pretty average player

Once the comp gets under way, if I have a CTR in my 18-21, can I buy a cheapie from any position or is it as before that I can only buy a CTR for a CTR ( there are no DPP's that help ) ???

im having trouble understanding the question

but if you have inglis wfb/ctr in your 18-21 and your ctr doesnt play. inglis will be subbed in.

if you have no ctr in your 18-21 no points for you that week.

Anyone gone with any last minute PODs? Ones that have been rarely mentioned?

Lichaa for mine. JMK shouldn't take more then 15 mins off Lichaa and Murray a little underdone from off season injuries perhaps/less minutes. SST okay but less upside IMO then Lichaa who has a higher potential to go big

Sorry mate, I didn't explain it properly. I didn't mean for an AE, I meant during the week when I wanted to trade someone in..................

Aitken @mtb??

Surely he goes well off the back of that pack and with decent halves?

Good luck everyone on the up coming fantasy season
Remember with the rolling lock out there is plenty of time
to tinker (stuff up) with our teams and second guess ourselves (x1000)
Now back to my 1001st iteration...

With reports pointing to DWZ coming back for RD 1, Peachey will be pushed back to the bench, meaning the likes of Merrin can see big minutes

@Pacey

You can swap them out for any sort of player if they are in your 18-21. As long as both players haven't played yet.

I dont like that as a Merrin owner, Peachy spelled Merrin last year.

oh i see, no way man. you can start with 8 hookers on your bench if you want and slowly change that to 8 ctrs later at any point.

Final draft. Made the team today and a dozen changes. Leggo!
CS9 Cook
NAS Lodge Kikau Arrow
SST Merrin Harris Cartwright
Croft Townsend
Kennar Mitchell
Teddy Ponga Katoa

Havili Hiku Isaako Croker

Maybe Tamou might see some minutes then??? He was avg about 50 the last 4-6 weeks of last year

Thanks Random. With my lack of faith in Fanhub, I wasn't sure with them.............

Do I carry the Kennar i don't really want just to have a WFB/CTR backup, or gamble on the Godinet who could make some quick cash much easier?

Think I have my 1-20 set otherwise
