2018 NRL.com Fantasy Thread Part 57

Id be happy with 500 points although a few of my guys may be around 30 points. (Aitken, Hoppa, Cotric, Holland, Lewis, Brimson)

Then Smith, McInnes, SJ, Martin, Kikau to give a wee boost.

11 is more like 8 with the players I have haha

I have 4 Bulldogs players!!!

Oh dear lord how has this happened.

I'm trying to justify Cotric at the price. Try in last 7 games is only concern but no reason he won't keep it up

Aitken and Cotric should get you more than 60 between them.

Im running.

Smith (c) Mcinnes, Sj, Martin, James, Tapine, Cotric, Rts, Jcroker, Aitken, Hiku

Would have loved to of had Harris too. But oh well.

I reckon 11 players would see you a significant rise up the rankings this week.

Why did Tapine only play 57 minutes last week? Injury?

He went off with a HIA & didn't return

Oh righteo. Looked like he was heading for a 50+

Seems like a very good James alternative. Can go well without tries aswell.

Tapine is def a poor mans Guns. But, those who picked him up early in the season were duded with injury and suspension. He 100% has the game to be a gun once he tidies it up a bit.

Just wondering if I pick up a forward instead of Cotric and next week I'll grab a gun back instead of JTurbo.

Probably best to stay as is

Which do you like:
(a) R. James & RTS or
(b) Tapine & Cotric

Cheers.

Thats tough. A just.

Im finding it hard to justify James at that price though.

A.

Could the 100k saved come in handy??

I think just prioritize what your team needs & use your trades accordingly. There's a lot of shiny new toys on offer like R. James, SJ, RTS, Aitken, etc but sometimes you have to pass on them to set your team up properly. For example my team needs a gun ctr so no matter how much I want James or SJ they're not a good fit for my team.

Yeah, I mean, if James wasn't playing this week, I wouldn't be considering him. Im literally trying to stack my team to get the most of out the bye.

Good strategy.

Screw it,I’m max trading this week leaving me with this

3 trades 168k bank

Cook
Fifita James
Taumalolo Jurbo Brown
SJ DCE
Mitchell Aitken
Tedesco Mbye Isaako

Smith
McInnes
Arrow
ARey

Martin
Lewis
Fainu
Hetherington

Next week Martin becomes Farah leaving me with 2 trades. Hopefully injuries are kind and I can use one of them to upgrade Isaako leaving 1 trade for injuries. How does it look guys?

I'm trying to get the most out of this bye round without jeopardising the rest of the year.

SJ seems a must as he should be the highest scoring HLF from here on out, so I'll get rid of Cleary next week to accomodate him.

Cotric feels like the best replacement for Ponga from now till years end I hope.

Lewis and Holland are cash outs so I can get JTurbo/Farah next week
