NRL Fantasy 2018 Thread Part 34

I'm considering trading Havili to Fifita/Lolo instead of Rochow. Do people actually see the point of keeping Havili anymore (even though his BE is 22). Yes Rochow's BE is more than double but one plays round 13 and one doesn't. The way Stuart fucks with Havili's minutes I'm not sure it's wise keeping him over a round 13 player who plays 80 minutes in the backrow.

Long way to go and probably would never happen lol

Yeah you will never get every gun. Is Vaughan a keeper this year with the Dragons pack.

If brick lamb gets the call up will he be a grab??

Is Rochow really worth keeping if he scores less than 20 again. His price is going to plummet if that happens, not worth keeping for R13 when you could trade him for somebody else now who is going to score more between now - R12, than Rochow will score from now - R13.

What are other Surgess owners doing? Thinking I'll trade him, tough call to make though but 2 weeks is 1 week too many I think. Means he would of played 2 games in 6 weeks if I hold him, the same for others if they owned him before the previous two weeks.. Lol

The way I'm looking at it, is if you score a 20 and a 15 from two 80 minute performances, I think we could be looking past the problem in the first place. If Rochow scored those in 50 minutes he'd be a no brainer trade right? I think we are blinded by him being on the field for 80. Yes, it gives him the opportunity and security to score points, but scoring at 0.25 PPM and below is just shit IMO. Saying that, I still might hold in the hope he can get a 45 or something which he should be doing and has done before but signs are looking grim.

Havilli is good and scores well when he's on the field, but yes, the Stuart factor.

If the rest of your squad is strong enough to cover his absence I'd say hold onto him. I've got McCullough in my team, who probably won't be back until Rd 14, and I'm going to hold him.

Hopefully it won't cost me too much in missed points

Whats the general feeling on Goose lads?

I know he's made 60K of his target 150k already, but does he have the edge over Lachie Croker whom i need gone?

Straight swap.

I missed the Manly game, but Goose got 28 still when all around carnage reigned which tends to suggest he's not crap?

Duck Goose Moose

Pending TLT but havili > Fifi and Kennar > Lamb (if named) or Sorenson (pending TLT).  Need cash for next week so I can go Thompson to gun and TPJ cash out for a hopeful cow

Duck Goose Moose[/quote]

This guy!

So if i'm dodging Goose's, my other eye should be watching out for which Cow (under $369k)?

I don't think there is one this week. Sorenson closest....

I have Rochow and Havilli stinking up my team, but hopefully with Murray and Brown back I can put the in my EMGs. Want Fifita also, but think I'll wait to a cheap cow comes up next week or week after....

Only traded Surgess in last week now feel like I should trade him right back out. Hmm

That's gross mate, worse part is the huge score he put up, not like you should feel you made the wrong decision 

I was regretting not getting Slammin Sam in over TLolo watching he bust the line constantly, tough break though! Can you cover him?

It's three weeks. He is a hold.

Hmm if Brown is back I can hold. I'm also wondering if TPJ - Fifita is a go this week (financed with a Havili downgrade) or if I should just hold

Fantasy wise he scored 28 which isn't too bad.
NRL wise, he was crap. Even with all the injuries and other shit going on, I'll be surprised if he's still in the run on side this week. He'll probably still make the 17, but only due to lack of competition for spots. TLT will tell for sure.

If I trade Rowchow and Thompson out I think I have 3 options

1. Nbrown and Sorenson
2. Fifita/Tlolo and 212k/gelling
3. Norman/CWalker and Bird

Thoughts on best option?

Biggest cashies this week.

Gosiewski - Slow burner but getting 80 minutes. Meaning he has potential for a big score.

Sorensen - Massive score, sketchy job security but even with scores around 25 should make steady cash.

Jack Cogger - Lamb was dropped in favour of Cogger. So assuming he doesn't get jumped by Lamb this week. Then he could be a steady earner and have more upside not playing along Pearce.

Other blokes to look at Kasiano (He could get good minutes with Brom out), Watson (Due back this week and no Pearce),

1 or 2 for mine.

Sorenson is the better cash cow over Gelling, but Fifita probably averages an extra 10 points on Brown a week. Brown could also be eased back into it. So it depends if you want to keep your cashflow potentially more steady, or roll with more guaranteed points.

Tough call to make, but Fifita looks to be the man of the hour so I lean to him.
