2018 NRL.com Fantasy Thread Part 53

What's the go with Mann? Worth using as a cash out? My choice appears to be him or just go for a 212k Tigers red dot

Ah. This Fainu thing isn't cool. I mean, I love laughing at Manly's expense.....but not when it hurts my fantasy team.

Bah.

Matt Wright scored 41 form 61 minutes at Hooker last week. Did not even realise. BE of -4 according to MTB's site.

-Should play round 17 in the halves.
-MAY play round 16 in the halves as well, although it seems as though Widdop should back up.
-Seems like the next player in line for a permanent spot anywhere in the Dragons backline.
-Playing on the wing at the moment is odd, but is he just getting NRL minutes in the legs for the bye round?
-At worst, is player #21 in your team. Doesn't necessarily hurt as much this year with ranked subs, but may give you a few points instead of copping a zero in a position you otherwise don't have backup in, down the track.

Definitely an interesting option.

Also Joey Tapine's last 4 round average is something like 54.5. LOVES a MT though

Thanks mate

And a penalty.
And an error.

He is like Paul Carter in the minus stats, but, he actually scores points to mostly make up for it.

Im tossing up bringing him in.

Averages 31 on the wing. That's with a 7, 9, and a -4 towards the end of 2016 season

I like him as an option for 18th man. I'm too short of trades to do it though

Is the Fainu decision final, or are Manly still trying to get them to change their minds? Tricky day or two re fantasy, if its still up in the air.

Option A: Murray and Watson > Harris and McInnes. (Keeps Martin and Kikau)

Option B: Murray and Kikau > Harris and SJ. (Keeps Martin and Watson)

Thoughts chaps?

Manly have already lodged an appeal. He'll probably be allowed to play so we all trade him in then get a season ender 10 minutes into the game.

I thought I read on here that they resubmitted their application??

That's a classic scenario

Haha, At least they're not at Brookvale, that place is great for an ACL.

(What goes around comes back around)

My alternative to Fainu is Luai (Panthers halfback at 212k), who will play round 17 to cover for Malloney/Cleary/Peachey

I'm happy with my first two trades. But this one:

JFH -> RFM

Good or sideways?

Im happy with either brown or wright, whoever starts as hooker. He'll just be another Havali at the start of the season. Just hope whoever i go with gets at least 60 mins
