2018 NRL.com Fantasy Thread Part 52

619/14 captain Smith still to come (plus Fifita and Fonua)

518/11. (C)am, Fifita, Marsters, Fonua, MBye and Doueihi's score for Martin to come. Meh indeed.

The Kiwi players will be playing next week. There is an 8 day turn around, if the Warriors rest their players, then I would assume so would the other clubs, and I highly doubt they will. Round 16 however, they 100% wont play, 5 days after the Kiwis match, with a day of flying. We'll find out Tuesday I guess.

I'll need a half fill in for SJ round 16.. Cogger will be lucky to play another week unfortunately, whose my only back up. Might have to roll the dice a bit there.

I think Lamb will come back in for Coggar next week.

Looks like Kapow updated by 6 overnight. Fuck yeah!

What a weekend of carnage on the injury front:
Buhrer - acl - 7+ months
Rapana - torn hamstring - 8-12 weeks
Koroisau - broken foot - 4-10 weeks
Kikau - mcl injury - 4-6 week
D. Saifiti - midfoot injury (lisfranc) - 4-6 weeks
RTS - failed to recover from ankle injury 2 weeks ago
M. Morgan - lower abdominal & groin pain - sports injury hernia from pre season
Finucane - reinjured thumb v Cowboys 2 weeks ago - expected round 16 return
Nofoaluma - minor calf injury - 2 weeks
Matterson - concussion & wrist injury - 1-2 weeks
Kennar - setback in rehab from foot injury - now in moonboot - 5-6 weeks

And there's still 3 games to go.

Warriors have also said they wont be sending any players unless they are 100% fit.


One could argue SJ has just come back from injury so isn't 100% (Not that any player is)

I'm thinking SJ wont go

My rank has improved better than expected but i don't have any scores to come in from emergencies. How many points do people have sitting there waiting to come in?

If there is confirmation SJ won't go, I will trade him in next week.

I haven't done any trades yet this week. Have 15 but no money. Do I go Thompson to Olive or hold Thompson and downgrade Coggar next week instead. Or could do both I guess? Thanks.

80 points - Doueihi & Cogger in for Crichton & Martin.

Did a late captain switch from him to Cam so Cam better have a big game.

Just Doueihi for Martin.

Lamb was rubbish in NSW cup and will be lucky to make that team. I think Cogger has the spot locked down till Pearce returns

Good to hear then. Wasn't sure how Lamb went. Coggars first half was good but second was poor.

With all the HLF's getting injured/coming back from injury/playing test/Origin, the only other top HLF, other than DCE, that has been not been effected since rnd 5 is ARey.

So if you had ARey & DCE since rnd 5 you wouldn't have wasted any trades on HLF (on hindsight)

Wonder if any of the fanatics have the duo.

I have those 2 but have only had ARey since round 11
