2018 NRL.com Fantasy Thread Part 53

Fainua last week for Blacktown Sea Eagles

43 tackles (1 missed) = 41
5 TBs = 15
3 OLs = 9
80 RMs = 8
1 TA = 5

So 78 from his 73 minute stint.

Not 100% on points for TA and OLs but a rough guide.

Havnt looked at other weeks

Lamb in reserves, could come in for Cogger.

Before all the injuries Lane was doing a very good job for Manly coming off the bench in the frf rotation so I can see why he's on the bench but I agree he deserves to be starting on the edge because he's a much better player than Frankenstein.

He was in the reserves last week too.

Wonder if its just time to punt Martin or try and hold for a bit and see.

Murray on the bench too. Hmmm....

Fainu should be $212K which makes him a good option this week. Matt Wright will sub him for parts of the game but as a cashout who should get 10 weeks on the field he's looking ok.

Three people in my team with question marks Havili, Martin, Murray.

Trade option. Punt all three for the following

SJ, Mcinnes and 212k Probs this Fainu bloke.

Seems solid enough right?

Not sure if its worth holding Martin till 17 on the off chance he plays. Could really use that cash.

If Koro is out for 8 weeks that puts his recovery date around the 7th August at the earliest, or Round 22 in fantasy language (25 rounds this year). Doesn't hurt to plan for this as many will already have a red dot to contend with

Looks good.

Excellent news about Fainu. Rated him since I watched him play the junior Warriors a while back. Great cash out option.

It seems unlikely Martin gets his spot back with Tolman and Elliot there which is a shame since he's better than both of them. He did rack up some coin so wouldn't be a bad trade out. I'll be keeping him for now as my 18th man but I'll need to upgrade 2 bench spots and a WFB soon

Really frustrating watching Murray get limited game time when he's obviously such a good player!

That game he played at lock and he played prop two weeks earlier for a score of about 45.

Seems decent if he can get 60+ minutes

Indeed. Very aprehensive to pull the trigger.

I don't think that bench looks any good for JFH. Are people holding him for those like me stupid enough to have him til round 17?

Lol. “I won’t be messing my team up for round 17. There are no players worth getting anyway.”

‘I’ve trade whored all year and now I’m fucked”.

Some people may say keep him due to round 17 but he's regressing quite rapidly as a fantasy asset. Maybe upgrade or cash out to Fainu to upgrade elsewhere.

Could throw a Hail Mary and hope for a change in luck.

Martin > Fainu

Murray > SJ
Watson > McInnes
Kikau > Harris

Leaves me 7 trades and 120k

Thoughts?

Could Martin get a spot back if Woods leaves due to cap pressure and a potential pack reshuffle, perhaps just some wishful thinking though
