2018 NRL.com Fantasy Thread Part 40

@Wolfking @Onthebeatpete @Pain thanks for the advice guys, very much appreciated.

I feel a lot more comfortable trading in Fifita than Taupau. I've penciled in Fifita and Capewell for now as the bank looks good and gets rid of Thompson before he drops all that cash at the strippers. Still tossing up Taupau in though because I'll be gutted if he got away from me price wise and miss this juicy points.

Change of plans.

Arrow to Fifita seems fairly straight forward. Unless some really good news comes out on arrow he seems risky to hold.

Cronk to RTS. Although rts has risk with out SJ. It means I don’t have to play cronk ever again. Then an drop hiku and play havili. Leaving me with.

Smith
Fifita, kikau
Jurbo, rfm, Murray
Dce, maloney
Croker, aitken
Rts, teddy, ponga

Jfh, rein, cook, havili

Hiku, isaako, Murray, fonua

Ranked 71st. 20 trades left.

RTS and JAC seem to be the only decent POD options at WFB with Rapana and Oates close behind with less potential but better PODness

@Fortitude I like your plan but big risk with RTS as he's got a floor or 19 without SJ. If he scores well this week I'll bring him in just over $600k. Ideal getting Cronk out too

I hope Cleary picks Lolohea at f/b this week & puts Thompson on the wing where he seems to score better.

Not sure who else id bring in. It seems the best option given the circumstances. Can chuck fonua up there and get someone onto bench. But no one really standing out.

RTS while in my team this year (AVG) = 23
RTS not in my team this year (AVG) = 60

One of the only in form fantasy WFB but concerned to bring him back in if he sucks again...

Any advice?

Will probably just go;

Rochow --> Martin

Isaako --> Aitken (131k ITB)
Godinet --> Aitken (0k ITB)

I hope Cleary fixes Marshall's decision making this week. The chip on first tackle 15m out was 'Classic Benji'

Gah, if there was ever a week I needed a third trade this would be it.

Both my proposals are pretty sideways though:
Mbye to Capewell (via Isaako)
RFM to Taumalolo

Would also love to do Maloney to Reynolds, which may take the RFM>Lolo trade.

@Shooter McGavin that's 100% Lolohea's only option haha that or pass to the interchange bench

Just a question. Why the RFM trade?

Reynolds and Dugan are on my never ever own list. I'm allergic to glass

If Marty Taupau bombs and only averages 40 for the next couple of games, he can easily be traded again with minimal financial loss. However, if he goes 50-60 he gains at least $50k worst case scenario... Hmm

Not sure what trades if any I will do this week. Maybe Gossie to Martin. Pretty happy to keep Arrow in there unless more news surfaces. Rest of the boys are still making money.

When is peats due back? This week or next?

If arrow is only out for 2 weeks or so Ill hold him, i think he is probably the 2nd best frf option this year behind fifi.

JMK looks to be topping out? Might need to move him on as well.

Too many trades to do. Need to start being more conservative

@ wackos - Raiders Junior Paulo ruled out for 8-10 weeks with mid foot sprain that doesn't require surgery.

JMK will get one more crack in his new role. Hopefully he will improve.

Arrow is vexing me, no news is good news I guess

Does that help anyone?

I'm not sure on getting rid of RFM as he has the Eels this week & he could score well. Also Reynolds has the Dragons this week which will be a tough game for him especially physically.

When is too early to start burning positions lol.

Just reviewed my trade plans and realised that I have 6 players in my team that deserve to be EMG. meaning I have to play two. (Havili and Rein). At the moment that's fine, but when Cleary comes back and Maloney's scores goes down faster than Corey Norman with a Canadian club can*. In the absence of cash out options and carrying multiple players under the 600k mark. Ill be up the creek.


*God I hope im not the only one that gets that reference.
