2018 NRL.com Fantasy thread part 41

Would anyone play Martin over Griffin?  Was going to poophole with Murray thanks to Milch but might actually play both Murray and Martin over Griffin? Any thoughts?

Bring in Karl Lawton for a big game this week and then ride some bench scores with his price rising?

I picked up Lawton in draft but not really looked at him otherwise. Hmmm

FTS Friday -
Kikau and Woods

Won't Tevanga start?

Not worth it IMO, I think you would need more injuries. Even with best case scenario of 60 this week followed by bench scores of 25 (which itself is overly optimistic) would make a maximum of 113k which would drop again fast.

Well this is just a bad news day.
News of Mbye being shopped around makes me regret selling him as he will surely step up now to try and prove his worth. But unfortunately I used the money to buy Taumalolo who is now locked in.
And now with Peats heavily rumoured to being back and starting I would much rather had downgraded Rein instead. Double ouch.

I really wish the program would let you reverse this kind of trade, even if temporarily, if you could then find another way to raise the funds for the second trade player already locked in. Not sure if the logistics of this would mess up or open holes for cheating, but either way I am strapped in for the shit show now.

Might place a sneaky bet on Mbye FTS to try and ride the incoming storm

Any solid info on Peats playing since Wacko doesn't count. Taking part in captains run doesn't mean he's playing. Brennan said they won't risk him if he's not 100%.

The titans first cut of two players in a few hours will be interesting regardless. All four can loosely be considered first grade players as opposed to what are usually a couple of real fringe players:

Latu, Hurrell, Peats, Elgey

I've got my odds on Hurrell and Elgey being dropped first up. It'll be interesting to see how Brenko goes also. Not super-fantasy related due to his cost, but I though he was quite good for the dogs and can find the line.

Hurrell and elgey are definitely not playing. Titans put up the "coaches word" press video a couple hours ago but it was edited (he references those two going back to reserve grade), im sure someone must have asked about peats but they obviously didnt want it shown and edited it out.

Ahh well, I've set myself up for pool holing as best as I can - I hope.

I need to try and makeup some points somehow...

Hampton carved up last night with 11 tb's. I really enjoy watching him play. Every time he gets the ball he's very dangerous especially with his speed. Pity about him being classified as a hok/hlf.

I think Murray will get enough minutes and Levi is hovering over Griffen. Martin reportedly on the edge so sounds viable Wolfie but whichever way you choose will be wrong ha ha.

Thompsons 39 or Sua ?

Su'a for me mate. I think Su'a gets at least 40.

I know mate haha. Was going to take Thompsons 39 for one but might just play all three yet.

Lamb BE high enough to see how he goes, will hold that one for now

Good strategy.

Tolman on Zero Tackle listed as Round 11; I thought it was longer?
