2018 NRL.com Fantasy thread part 48

All this talk of Centres not being cool are straight wrong. Gotta risk it to get the biscuit.

Got three centres this week.

Staying around until after Origin though

Many pages to catch up here.

Cook to CS9 gives me the little bit of cash to also go JFH to Surgess.
Have McInnes so he and CS9 will help my round 17 score a lot.

Have a few cows that are making good coin so after SOO I'm confident I can get Cook back into the team.

What's a moron mission?

BUMP

No trades this week but at this stage next week I'll be going
Murray to Olive
Lane to McInnes

Those trades sound ok?
Would leave me with 12 trades and roughly 50k and team looking like this

Cook
Fifita TPJ
Taumalolo Arrow Harris
DCE ARey
Mitchell Isaako
Tedesco Ponga Mbye

Smith
Matterson
McInnes
Sua

Martin
Brimson
Olive
Gosiewski

Also I've noticed he's a bit of a whinger when things don't go his way & that last sin bin was due to his whinging. He's actually been sinbinned twice but the cost is probably 20-25 points because you have the -10 points for 2 sinbins & the lost points while he's off the field. If I was to sell any of my origin players it would be Turbo because he pissed me off with the last sinbinning & I would buy Taupau.

Edit - I mean Jake not Tom.

Manly should just give him back the captaincy so he can whinge and get away with it. Daly is a hopeless captain.
I'm not concerned. Annoyed, but not concerned.

Good player, bit small

@welshy yep unfortunately :-( Just no viable trades this week . Team look decent though?

Looks good to me mate and if TPJ holds that wide spot will be top 2 option for FR in a top 17 for peanuts currently.

I would look at getting in a an extra R13 player or 2 mind, because I can only see 10 players for R17 with that side and that's assuming TPJ and Su'a keep their current roles until then which is unlikely so scores will take a hit from their current outputs so could potentially be a low scoring round as well

I think you at least need to attack 1 bye round to gain some decent rank, and its R13 for me because there's more keepers playing for me than R17 and I can get my R17 keepers in over the next few weels

Was looking on youtube for some footage of some players and came across this interesting video of a young Brandon Smith

Best to cash out to 212k players or will Doughy and TMM suffice?

Harris, McInnes and SJ or are you eyeing up some others?

None extra I fancy unless TPJ holds his 80 minute edge role

Which hammers home my point about attacking this bye more because I already have my top 17 R13 players (minus Crichton who I'll probably bypass now for Surgess) or players in origin. 

Guys I want after R18 are the Turbos, Macca, maybe Hess and Cleary

I need to cash in one of isaako or Hiku this week to fund my upgrades, the other becomes backup Centre for the run home. Help me decide!

If Darius hammy gives out isaako goes to fb but that's a big If.

Hiku averages higher in base stats so would be more reliable as a ring in.

You would think there will be some good mins available this week for some cowboy props with bolton and scott out

@Welshy yes I would love to bring in a few more players for this week but who?

Honestly, looking at that team I'd get someone in for Su'a and upgrade Gos
how is your cash looking?
