NRL Fantasy 2018 Thread Part 37

Rhyse Martin was Queensland cup 2nd rower of the year in 2016, and NSW cup 2nd rower of the year in 2017 along with playing for PNG in the world cup
So he can play just needs a chance in the NRL

With the rumour to Jackson to Lock then it would make sense that Martin would start on an edge. Kicking goals though would be great too (from a non Mbye fantasy owner).

Bulldogs need to score a try to kick at goal.

@Jstevens269 Welcome mate! Good to have you on board. Do you get a chance to watch the games?

For me I'm tossing up between Tolo and Surgess. Tolo's game against the Titans was inflated by the try with all the TBs. But with Surgess, he's coming into a side with Murray who can play big minutes, a f Tom Burgess is killing it too. His role might not be as big when he gets back. This is why I want to hold Brown, because apart from injury, he's going to have a load of work.

Idiots at NRL.com can't even get the updated team right. I thought there was supposed to be 4 players in interchange.

"Bulldogs: 1 Moses Mbye, 2 Brett Morris, 3 Josh Morris, 4 Will Hopoate, 5 Marcelo Montoya, 6 Jeremy Marshall-King, 7 Kieran Foran, 8 Aaron Woods, 23 Matthew Frawley, 10 David Klemmer, 11 Josh Jackson (c), 12 Raymond Faitala-Mariner, 13 Adam Elliott

Interchange: 14 Clay Priest, 15 Danny Fualalo, 17 Kerrod Holland

Reserves: 19 John Olive, 20 Rhyse Martin, 21 Renouf Toomaga

Michael Lichaa won't play against the Broncos after being dropped. Matt Frawley has been named at hooker. Greg Eastwood has been dropped, with former Raider Clay Priest called up onto the bench for his first game for his new club. Along with Lichaa, Asipele Fine was left out 24 hours out from kick-off."

Hodkinson to the Eagles asap from the Sharks could be on the cards. I wouldnt mind, he's a stop gap addition to the Sharks setup at best. But makes it interesting for fantasy purposes at the Eagles.

Have settled on these trades(I think)

28k bank 20 trades left

Thompson to Lane
Fine to Cogger

Cook
Fifita TPJ
Murray Arrow RFM
DCE Matterson
Mitchell Isaako
Tedesco Ponga Mbye

Smith
Kikau
JFH
Sua

Lane
Cogger
JMK
Gosiewski

Hopefully can just sit back the next few weeks now and milk those cows for upgrades

What is with the Bulldogs naming Lichaa in their side in the updated team lists? Fucking pointless, everyone knows he's still in Sydney.

The Dogs website doesn't even announce any of these changes just that Priest is back.

Never mind they've changed it now smh.

Frawley at hooker? WTF?

158 in the bank. Only have 20 trades left, which is a bit of a worry.

23 seemed to be the average on here yesterday mate, so if most of us double trade this week then we are only one to the better.

Thats good to hear. I am kind if hoping I can spend a few weeks coasting on this team until some of the guys have peaked.

I think one trade I'm doing is Croker to Cogger. Cogger should AT LEAST make 12/13 points each week from kick metres alone, add in the tackles he'll make you've got almost 30 points in base stats alone. Obviously he'll miss some tackles, make an error or two and give away a penalty every now and then but any attacking stats he gets will be great towards his cash generation and being the halfback you'd think he will get some of those attacking stats.

Three of the Knights next four games are at home and then they play round 13, so I think Cogger is the best option under 300k this week.

Would you bring tpj in now that it looks like he has a decent run at lock?

Who scores more in absolute terms? Cogger or Lane?

I think Lane will.

Yeah Lane. He had a few good games last season when he was starting.

Cool thanks. I agree. I'd say cogger 35-40 and lane low 40's. Whatcha reckon?

Damn, that’s juicy info. Cheers! Will see how it plays out this week.

Lane is capable of 50+. But I reckon he could be mid to high 40's

Looks about right. Lane can also bag a try so he could even average 45 if he plays 80.
