NRL Fantasy 2018 Thread Part 34

So far I have done TPJ to Fifita this week, leaving me 10K ITB. Waiting for TLT to come out to see if there are any cows worth jumping on. Who is more of a trade out atm - Isaako or Kennar, I will be cashing in one of these two for a cow this week for some money ITB to possible go Havili or Thompson to a gun next week (leaning towards Havili as Thompson is RD 13)

So for those who weren't aware, today is #TeamListMonday

All teams announced today at 4pm.

All teams or just the ANZAC day teams?

Rochow to Taumalolo/Matterson and bank the other trade
Or
Rochow to Aitken and TPJ to CWalker/Guth

And if the first option which out of Taumalolo or Matterson should I pick?

Nathan Cleary’s recovery is ahead of schedule. He is aiming for a round 11 return & maybe even round 10 if he is lucky.

It would be excusable if he had been named in the 2nd Row, but people are thinking about bringing him in as a centre. It's baffling

That means teams that played yesterday will named similar team to the 1-17 that took the field and leave us guessing for the rest of the week. Hopefully its just the Anzac Day teams

My goal is to clear some money ITB over the next month to trade Jacks to Cleary so my halves would be Cleary and DCE. Hopefully Jacks can have a 50+ game in there somewhere to speed up the money making process.

The lack of cows is baffling!

Its just an opinion, no insider stuff... but given how closely most of us watch our own teams etc - i have thought for two weeks running Dillon hasnt shown much. Doesnt bend the line, has a red face most of the time and looks likely for a penalty and error. Hopefully Sorensen jumps up the order in flanno's mind. Sorensen in for me regardless of this, but going forward etc.

Not sure if this has been discussed, it could be somewhere between "Fuck the black widow" and " Aubbs"

Under the NRL HIA policy Tohu Harris can't play Anzac Day against the Storm.
Day 1 - No activity, physical rest
Day 2 - Light Aerobic
Day 3 - Running and drills
Day 4 - Non contact & weight training
Day 5 - Full contact training after medical clearance
Day 6 - Return to play

It's a 5 day turn around.

Baffling is being very nice Milchy. There is nothing about it that makes any sense. He is, and likely forever will be, a no! Ever.

Is the Aubbs talk based on there being less centre options than normal?

I would say so, and his price.

Looking like a good round 14 trade-in.

At 344k if he had the 80 min CTR spot nailed down he averages 33ish there in past seasons. Lots of low minute games off the bench in various spots has pulled his price down. Thats 100k ish of potential there. Also more of a known commodity unlike the rookie cows.

The 40 he got on the weekend is closer to his starting 2nd row average and shouldn't be expected week in and out as a CTR. Definitely not a good trade as I'm certain he's not the first choice centre and will eventually return to the bench for 20 mins a game.

Not the best idea by any stretch but certainly not that crazy. Hopefully it ends now before its the T-Rein of this week.

NB: All numbers from memory but should be close enough for the purpose.

I thought it was decent if not spectacular.

What are other peoples thoughts of his performance, fantasy aside?

I didn't think it was tooo bad, but it was the third game of super saturday. He won't stop Peats coming back ASAP, imo.

I want to do Thurston to Matterson but it would require a second trade so unless a good cheapie pops up I might as well not trade this week. Also gives a week to look at the Knights halves.

Need to decide between Tolo or Hess.
I think one of them joins my team this week.

I'm hoping Peats' first game back he plays less minutes than usual. Rein will have a low BE and hopefully another 20-30k even off the bench.
