2018 NRL.com Fantasy Thread Part 13

Feels tough seeing the price of Katoa to Thompson in $$$$

Can't believe how horribly they've fucked this up.

When I go to trade there's a whole bunch of guys locked out that I can't trade in even though I'd have enough money lol.

Trades are working fine on the app.

A+

No they aren't.

I currently don't have Katoa as a scoring player. Is Thompson still a must have in that case, I probably won't play him but is my money still a nessecity?

You have to get him for the price rises don’t ya?

Wanting to 'downgrade' Fualalo to Papalii and then swap Katoa for Thompson, bringing Isaako on for Hiku. This is my current team:

Smith(C)
Lodge, JBrom
JTurbo, Merrin, Harris
Carty, Cronk
Leilua, Hiku
TTurbo, Ponga, Katoa

INT: Havili, Cook, Fualalo, Rochow

EMG: Nicholls, Croker, Kikau, Isaako

After Trades:

Smith(C)
Lodge, JBrom
JTurbo, Merrin, Harris
Carty, Cronk
Leilua, Isaako
TTurbo, Ponga, Thompson

INT: Havili, Cook, Papalii, Rochow

EMG: Nicholls, Croker, Kikau, Hiku

Leaves me with 38k. Also thinking maybe swapping Kikau for Lodge? I don't know any other good way to get him in my team.

yes i think thomson is a must have, from what i can understand of the salary increase system, the money he has gained from the 1st round score is only 1/3rd of what he will gain from it over the next 4 weeks, plus any other good scores he gets on top of that

Well that helps lads, cheers for that.

I would back Hiku to out score Isaako this week.

Swap Havili with Kikau.

Hey mattnz, you need an avatar, check your inbox

i dunno about croft, didn't play bad or anything, but was happy enough to take a back seat to the spine players around him, does that get better when you replace Jacks with Slater?

Hahaha.

I will make a decision on getting Slade Griffin in after a good look at his base stats.

My halves are Carty and Niko and my FRF is Lodge and Nicholls so got some shit to sort out here as well.  Would like to get DCE in.

I have 502k and feel like Tom Hanks in Big

But will wait until the team lists to see where to spend some of it and make just the 1 decision, in and out of the site and close it down

I want to spend as little time as possible looking at the app or website. Its complete shit house, spent a few minutes trying to trade or move players around.

Nice work, glad I kept a bank again.

You can definitely move players during trades on the desktop site, just did it.

Ah right, cheers, will wait till i get home and do it on desktop then.

Would anyone be opposed to a trade of Lodge to Kikau?

Anyone?

..crickets..

Second trade would be Katoa to Thompson like most others.

Gives me another week to weigh up the Kodi to Griffin trade without any concern for price changes.

Is it a doormat from NZ?

Won't make it through customs bro.

Personally think Lodge could average close to 40 and that's all you can ask for. Kikau is a beast but may not average much more than that. Can see Hook keeping him on the bench after last week's performance.

If you go to the trades tab you can search players and it shows there changes

Downgrading Fifita to Papalii is a crazy idea right?

Yeah kind of a knee-jerk excuse to get rid of Lodge and hope he gets suspended or something..

Can't resist those big prices coming Thompson and Kikau's way, so feel I have to get them in this week somehow.

I thought I was sitting pretty going by rough calc's that my 94k would be enough to upgrade two cheapies, but Thompson/Kikau jumped higher than I was expecting.
