2018 NRL.com Fantasy Thread Part 58

That’s true mate and another option but the way he’s playing I couldn’t bring myself to sell ARey at the moment(unless it was for a Taupau to stack my bench)

Interestingly, ive been in the top 150 almost every rd since rd 2, but only once have I had a weekly rank in the top 500 and only 4 times in the top 1000. My best result in a weekly rd was 222nd.

This is my problem. I don't want to pay it too safe and have to pay catch up, but I don't really want to go too crazy if I don't need to. Wish I knew what everyone was doing.

I'll share a bit of my plan
- I'm running with Mitchell as my 18th man - l**phole option
- I'm 99% sure I'm committed to holding Harris and Ponga for the season now. Trade plans dont allow me to go sideways at this point
- I dont have the budget for Arrow OR Jurbo for the run home. Sad times and this is a killer.........

Thanks mate.  The only thing is, I've ended up with too many halves.  SJ, ARey, Doueihi, Lewis, Mann and MBye kind of.  

I also haven't been too impressed with SJ either truthfully. We know what he can do though.

Wouldnt you rather turn Arey into Niukore as you have DCE SJ Lewis and then turn Isaako into Ponga with that money? Martin looks set to Avg 50-55 for the year with kicking.

Why would you trade ARey? He's arguably the most consistent and best half at the moment in the game.

Why get rid of A-Rey (last 3 game average of 56.3). He's the form fantasy half playing for the best team. I'd get rid of DCE (last 3 game average of 38.3) before A-Rey. Even SJ lags behind A-Rey with a last 3 game average of 51.7. The only hlf that matches A-Rey last 3 game average of 56.3 is Mbye who also has a last 3 game average of 56.3. So you could say the best 2 fantasy hlfs based on current form are A-Rey & Mbye.

I must be the only one not getting him. SJ

Reading over the last couple of pages I was thinking how SJ is the classic "group" mentality trade.

Having said that, he is still the highest averaging half and obviously a good choice this week.

Two 42's in a row isn't too exciting but maybe he's ready to bust out a 75

Well my plan is to give DCE RD18 and see how he goes after an Origin call up and if he scores 45 or lower he is gone for either Arey, Milf or Munster

I have got 9 this week; Smith, McInnis, TPJ, Martin, S'ua, SJ, Holland, Mann, Brimson that only gives me a score of 369.6 based on averages; however I like to think S'ua is better than his average of 36, Holland is better than his average of 19.8 and Mann should hopefully score more than his average of 17.3.

Lol so why would you suggest I sell ARey but then say you’re considering buying him. I’m not falling for that game lmao

Speaking of A Rey - I've had him since round 11. Since owning him, his average is 49.5, while his season average 49.4

Certainly got what I paid for there.

Going to hold Tohu unless J.Trbojevic drops about 10k after he plays next so I can afford him.

I'll be hiding behind the couch for sure. He'll bust out a big score sooner or later but I think atm he's still not 100% over his injury. My 2 hlfs are A-Rey & DCE. I was going to sell DCE for SJ because Hodkinson will ruin DCE but Manly expect D. Walker to play round 18 so DCE will be back to scoring 50's with no Hodkinson on the field so DCE can more than match SJ.

I know the Panthers are under strength but don't the Warriors have a horrible record at Panthers Stadium. I could be wrong just going by my memory.

Who is Sangster? Is he on NRL podcast saying when Morris back he wouldn't be surprised if Holland drops out? Ahead of Montoya who's playing on the left where Morris plays? Makes no sense to me that Holland would lose spot ahead of Montoya or Smith

Pay has done some odd things this season but if Montoya holds his position over Holland, that will probably take the cake.

Getting SJ and James this week feels like such a waste of funds. Wanted to get Farah and JTurbo next week but that's not looking likely.

Yet getting Milf and Tapine feels underwhelming and I get James/SJ envy

Sangster is one of the sc gurus but most times he speaks through the hole in his ass. Don't place too much importance on what he says.

You're scaring me, I'd really like to know this though.

I'm more tempted to take a punt on Cotric actually.
