2018 NRL.com Fantasy Thread Part 20

Can I get some advice please

My team scored 878 over the weekend

Smith (C)
Fifita, Lodge
NAS, Murray, Arrow
Doueihi, Moses
Kenner, Hiku
Ponga, RTS, Dufty

Cook, Griffen, Thompson, RFM
Kikau, Croker, Cartwright, Leilua

Made the mistake of having Kikau in emergencies over Thompson. But my biggest issues are Moses and Leilua, I have 48k Currently in the bank.

Options I Have come up with:

Leilua - Isaako
Moses - Keary
34k ITB

or

Leilua - JMK
Moses - Mbye
68k ITB

If I go JMK then I will have no CTR cover and only have Kenner and Hiku who play centres, I would rather bring in Isaako for Leilua but unsure on the half, Keary or other options under $633K?

I think Isaako is a good option now with Kahu out for a long time, I never picked him up in the beginning as I though he would only get a couple of weeks, but Kahus broen Jaw changes things.

What do you guys think?

1 trade I'll be doing = Carty out - Murray in
I'll just play Doueihi & L. Croker in the halves
I might being in JMK as well for Havili for half coverage

Really battling for decent trade options this week. Only made 1 trade so far, and sitting in top 600, so no panic stations. But the BEs of my cows are solely creeping up. But not many trade options are presenting themselves.

Because im carrying so many cows, ill need to gut my back ups just to strengthen my 1-17.

First thoughts are Hayne>JMK & Moses>Matterson. Two weeks in a row those Eels wankers have turned an 800+ into a mediocre score. Could afford Mbye instead of Matterson, but not sure if I could bring myself to trade out what I thought were two round 13 players for two that will be on the bye.

Is Moses going to go and pump out 45's, or are the Eels in enough trouble to be confident getting rid of him?

Ultimately waiting for TLT but is Mitchell to Hiku sideways? I have been waiting for Mitchell to show me something but he has been disappointing 3 weeks in a row and frustrating watching them run fergo's wing every time. I can do Mitchell to Hiku and Carty to Mbye/Alvaro/Dufty/Fergo. Who should I grab?

Sitting 3rd in the NRL Fantasy Fanatics Overall so if anyone wants any tips then give me a yell haha

I could definitely use a hand. I feel like I've followed as much advise as I can soak but some poor early game decisions on guns has left me under-performing each week. i don't even know where to go to start fixing it...

with watson gone for 3-5 months does levi come onto the bench and affect griffin??

Mitchell to Hiku is so sideways it's backwards, imo.

Very probable, unfortunately.

just some thoughts on posts above...

Moses, Mbye, Widdop and Keary are not known to be consistent fantasy scorers or guns... I wouldn't trade them in.

Mbye was a great cow when he first came on the scene, but has been up and down since then. Him moving to fullback might change that this season... kuddos to you if you started with him this season though.

Levi can't crack their best 17 as it is, so I doubt he's going to affect Griffin to any real extent, if he does happen to find his way onto the bench.

Taylor could get suspended for the trip or Elgey dropped or both.

Shame TPJ is out (if he is). He could score 150 just running at Elgey and Cartwright three times a,set.

what does your team look like?

Thinking my only trade this week is Katoa to JMK? Or another cow to pop up in TLT. Is JMK secure?

Pay made changes to get a better result
Bulldogs won...
JMK played ok

I don't see why Pay would change it

Locked my trades in barring any injury news.

SST & Croft out

Fifita & Benji Jr. in


Tempted by Mbye over all the others that have posted big scores. Should've started with him instead of Moylan, but now that his price has jacked up, I don't think he's worth it from this point on.

Keeping my eye on guys like JDB, Tedesco, Rapana, Taumalolo and maybe Gallen who should all bottom out in price soon enough.

SJ too when the Warriors hit their slump and he disappears for a couple more 30 odd scores.

C.Smith (Captain)
M.Lodge TPJ
B.Cartwright S.Burgess J.Trbojevic (VC)
J.Thurston B.Croft
L.Mitchell R.Kennar
J.Tedesco T.Trbojevic P.Hiku

Interchange:
C.Thompson, L.Croker, A.Doueihi, V.Kikau

Emergency:
L.Sao, S. Havili, J.Isaako, L.Latu

with merrin prob out, kikau surely will get the start?

What are AUbusson owners doing. No real cheap options tbh. Thinking about Kennar or Isaako but not too sure.

roosters boss suspended for 9 months for role in manly cap fiasco. manly fine going to be about 1mil, but not losing points.
