2018 NRL.com Fantasy Thread part 42

Have gone Rein and Sorensen > DCE and Martin at this stage with 19 trades and 107k left.

Cook
JFH, Fifita
Taumalolo, Trbojevic, RFM
DCE, Matterson
Aitken, Hiku
Teddy, Ponga, Thompson

Kikau, Murray, Martin, JT
Griffin, JMK, Isaako, Cogger

Still unsure on the DCE trade with everything that's gone on today with Smith. There is still a chance he plays Origin it seems :/

Moley hearing Kenny Edwards may have played his last game for @TheParraEels.
One strike too many...

Yeah mate, I don't see Soro getting back in.

Serious thoughts on Brimson? Looking to bring in a cow now that Fonua screwed my plans up. He is not going to be a repeat of Cogger is he? Cannot afford to waste another trade like that. Someone who's followed him chip in?

I'm intrigued by the range of trade options being thrown out this week.

I'll chuck out a pre trade team and see if I've missed something.

Cook
Fifita, Arrow
Taumalolo, RFM, Kikau
DCE, Matterson
Aitken, Hiku
Teddy, Ponga, Walker

Murray, Havili, JFH, Martin
JMK, Brimson, Sorenson, Smith

Havili/JMK > Lamb/Fitzgibbon are the planned trades, will leave me with 17 trades and 20k.

Anything else anyone can spot?

Not for me personally. I fell for the Cogger trap thinking he had good JS for the short term and it burnt me. Elgey and Carty can come in at any time to replace Brimson.

Hows the Raiders team going to look Sunday because no way Blake Austin is playing

Agreed. He looked solid but who knows what happens if titans lose a couple more

Yeah I'm right with you, probably look else where.

I like Brimson. Shows some guts in defence and has a nice scoot. I love scoots though. Im a sucker for them. If only JMK would scoot... mmmmmm

They can't bloody tackle. Or is it, they refuse to tackle?

I think Williams might be back? Straight swap maybe?

I don't rate either of them personally but also don't know much about Brimson. He's apparently a better defender than both of them but I don't think he exactly secured his spot in the side last week. If he's solid this week then his JS will only get better. I can't see him scoring too highly with Ash Taylor leading the team though. Elgey has always struggled to score points alongside Taylor.

Scoots are good.

I think so, would love hingano going into 6 meaning Havili would be another good interchange pick, but I think you are right

Don't Elgeys negatives (missed tackles) ruin any good score he might get week to week.

I'm no expert but I think less missed tackles and the odd attacking scoot should mean he averages around 30 which is fine for a base pricer

Williams played mounties last week irrc. Would just slot in I'd imagine. Although we're useless anyway and since he was the one to produce our only decent kick in the weekend I'm lobbying for whitehead to go there. Would be entertaining if nothing else and we know he can tackle

I want an outcome where Havili plays 65 minutes at hooker, been loving his bench scores lately

If they did that though I'm almost certain you'd get someone like garvey on the bench.

Haven’t read any of the last 20 pages, but here’s my viewpoint.

Cameron Smith - greatest hooker and captain in the history of the game. Will be an immortal.

Just proved himself a Prima Donna. Lip pout .....”you can’t bin me, then suspend me. Fuck you. Get your own origin.”

QLD’s hooker will be Macca. He has earned it.

Hunt half.

Morgan 5/8.

Munster FB.

NSW - 3 blot. Let the 10 year dynasty begin.

Fuck QLD
