2018 NRL.com Fantasy Thread Part 21

Don't start me old man! 2nd Last day of work, Welshy has knocked back my trade offer... team is a shambles... ILL HAVE YA, RUN STRAIGHT!

Ah, Fantasy doing my head in.

Even after all the Dugan bagging, I keep thinking he might be the better choice.
Isaako has a good draw and kicking goals should make more money, but he isn't a keeper. For all his injury hazards, and harder draw, Duges undoubtedly is. It's always comforting to have one less position to worry about.

5 day weekend staring me in the face ! Boom !

RTS or Mbye? Cheers

Read that back to yourself Pookus.
I'll bold it for you mate.
Cmon, that's SI/Welshy level, you're better than that!

Cartwright and TPJ gone, welcome Matterson and Isaako. Kikau 18th man for Kennar

and if he stuffs up on you go Rochow and hope for extra time ( again ).

Haha, I was going to point this contradiction out to Pookus as well.

I have never picked Dugan and never will. He is heart attack material every time he is involved in a play. At some level it has become a habit for him to go down hurt or apparently injured and it is a lottery draw if he makes 80 minutes. I may be too conservative but he is too rich for me.

Is anyone holding out on a Cartwright --> JMK trade this week due to either;
a) JMK's risk of holding his spot ahead of Frawley and potentially a rumoured Sezer heading to the Dogs
or
b) Hastings getting confirmed ahead of Croker and putting up bigger scores with more security

Looking at:
Nicholls --> Rochow
Cartwright --> JMK

Nicholls to Rochow is sound but your right, JMK seems a little more dodgy these days and Hastings may take over if his form holds.

I went Cartwright to Matterson as Cartwright has noticeably deteriorated as a fantasy prospect.

Yeah these Sezer rumours make me nervous re: JMK. Id also like to see how Hastings goes before trading him in. If he plays hooker how many mins or will he actually play 6.

Id use the term "top teams" loosely at this stage of the season. Most of those teams will get excited that they are in the top 10 and burn their trades chasing points to stay there.

You'll get a better idea of the top teams through the bye rounds before the run home

I think I'm going to bring in Peachey for Hayne, rather than JMK/Hastings just so that I can avoid becoming one of those nuffies who has no centre coverage

With a BE in the 40s we might not get a free look at him this week, but it will at worst be a cheap look.

I can see him very quickly emerging as the center of choice, but will deal with my halves issues first before more messing at CTR/WFB

mattnz wrote:The rumour mill is getting out of control .... if any truth to it, I have been saying the last couple of seasons that if Sezer and Austin were replaced by decent halves Raiders would be a great team. Not sure where they plan to find a great replacement half pairing from though.

Ahh FfS so they sayin we have to wait until season end with him.

Wish it was more like the premier league sometimes. Would have been gone before this TLt

Has been a gun at 5/8 before, if he performs, can see him keeping Maloney out when Cleary returns.
