So does Latu start if Carty gets relegated to bench?

If he is then I'd say Arrow to lock. When I watch Carty I expect him to change pace when he runs the ball but he seems to only have 1 pace which is slow pace.

This news is music to my ears as I have traded Carty this week. Maybe a reshuffle of James to FRF with Wallace, 2RF of Proctor and Boyle/Hipgrave and Arrow at Lock sounds good.

Aubusson and Watson out mate Murray and C in....Not sure who though... maybe Hiku into C for a bit and pick up Thompson or JMK?

Who ever you get in though it would be worth looking forward 1 week cause I think you have a few other spots to deal with: Milne, Brown in particular...

Arrow lock carty bench is what i was saying should happen in pre-season. I'm obviously a better coach than brennan

in all seriousness, it does tempt me to take the punt and turf him now. he could be a very slow burn from the bench, and with such high ownership, it may be a good payoff to get off the carty party now. he's already priced at 26..

Arrow as a 60 minute lock would be great. He tackles everything and runs hard! Cut price keeper??

Probably but if I was coach I'd replace him in the 17 with Hipgrave. I watched Latu v Dragons & he was very poor & he seemed off the pace & his hit ups are ineffective. Hipgrave is a beast & much better than Latu.

Hipgrave suspended this week.

Bugger. Latu might get a reprieve then.

Does anyone use the fantasy coach? Is it even worth it?

Bugger I wanted to get Alvaro and Matters this week. Maybe just take the bench score this week.

Move Carty to the halves dammit. Elgey is poop

I use it because I'm lazy and like to see be's while i'm looking at my team but it's worth fuck all. Spend the money buying MTB a beer instead.

Edit. Just realised I've given failhub more money than MTB, will rectify

Fantasy coach NOT worth it this year

New to NRLF but I don't use the fantasy coach. I just use MTB's site to search stuff I'm looking for. Rather give MTB a few $'s for beer instead of handing it to the nrl for a subpar product.

Couple of mates had Coach last year and by the looks of it is was a bloody scam. This board, Milch's BE's and MTB's website is all you need. Spend your money on those guys instead.

Gee trying to bring in a quality half less than 800k for Carty is a bit of a nightmare. Getting 1 of the Dragons halves seems the go since they are the strongest team atm & with that forward pack both Widdop & B. Hunt are always going to dominate & get good go forward ball. Manly should bounce back this week playing at home but DCE is a bit dearer than both Widdop & B. Hunt.

Few updates based on requests:
- game scores in match centre. Will update live
- player names in match centre link directly to player stats page
- added ownership % to match centre stats. Also moved the mins played next to fantasy score so you dont have to go all the way to the right when on mobile to see

Planning only 1 trade this week, Rapana (hated that 17 killing my score this week), and going to a solid safe option that is going to get consistent scores each week in Friend (who is a POD from the top 7 teams) which plays round 13.

If Carty is on the bench with Arrow at 13, I probably take that trade too, gets me out of an emergency player and into a solid Reserve instead that should get good minutes and points each week and also isn't in any of the top 7 teams Leaves me with no cash until I start trading out cows though.

Then all going to plan, hopefully save trades the following weeks instead.

If Cartwright is on the bench I'm gonna flick him for Taupau but Manly play before the Titans so what should I do?

No love for a consistent 40+ 2nd rower in your halves?

Thanks all who responded to my Bump re Lui and Rochow earlier. I think i may go Rochow. Have uneasy feeling as i almost started with him so feels a bit burnies etc.

Hate to be that guy, but if anyones is comfy throwing an extra tenner into MTB's paypal as i am on paypals watch list lol. I'd transfer b4 hand etc. Understand if no takers as internetty and all.
