2018 NRL.com Fantasy Thread Part 61

Think I'm going for it;

Lewis - Clifford
JFH - JTurbo

Is JTurbo that much of a must have for the run home?

I have reversed all trades leaving me 4. Still plan to do James>Farah. If I go without Jayne or Hopoate as starting CTR and play Naiqama + Latrell CTR pairing

I can do Ponga WFB #4 Aekins then 2 loops

#5 Lewis if poor
#6 SJ

and

#7 Holland if poor
#8 Mbye

I reckon he is a must. Super consistent.

Thanks mate.

Jurbo plays 80, JFH doesn't.
Jurbo doesn't miss tackles for fun, JFH does.
Jurbo has way more potential for attacking stats, JFH doesn't know what an attacking stat is.

haha, thanks mate.  Concern was more of getting rid of a starting half for a Nuffie, leaving my EMG's as Ponga, Clifford, Mann and Holland.  When Ponga is back Mitchell/Marsters/MBye/SJ will be 18th man so I think I can go with it.  4 trades left too.

Team would be;

Smith
Fifita Taupau
JTurbo Tolo Crichton
SJ ARey
Aitken Marsters
Teddy MBye Mitchell

Cook Arrow Farah Martin

Ponga Mann Holland Clifford

Yeah I'd do those trades personally. Work on a better 19th man with those last 4 trades over the next few weeks as well because you don't want to be playing one of those last 3 guys in your 17 for the run home.

Fingers crossed I shouldn't have to, that's the only thing with Lewis and going Surgess or Kikau instead, gets a better 18th and 19th man but hopefully my 17 should be set.

The only worry is you have to make the Lewis > Clifford call by tonight and it's not even confirmed Clifford is playing is it?

Am I really selling a DPP like James over SJ whose lost me 144k in 2 weeks since I got him with a BE of 73 still up against Storm? I'm a Warriors fan and been commenting during games that he's not looking for 5th tackle kicks last 2. I know I lose his value when I sell him but not seeing where the big points coming from soon

It's SJ mate, big points could come at any time, or not.

Yeah, that's the concern, Clifford not confirmed at all, all speculation but gotta take a punt I guess. Ohter options are Wright who will probably make way when Walker is back or Molo or the new benchie for Raiders, slim pickings. Could wait a week I guess, but don't really want to haha.

Cook captain over Smith?

Probably worthwhile, but I will stick with Smith I think.

That's helpful advice, or it isn't

Cheers.

Turbo

Browsing the Cowboys forum, one bloke reckons he heard a whipser of Clifford starting and TMM to FB. No source though of course.

Original Trade Idea

Sua > Kikau
Fifita > Taupau

I have been thinking and I can go

Lewis > Clifford (or any 212K player)
Sua > anyone
I am thinking of the following
Taupau
Pearce
Farrah
Tedesco

I think Tedesco would help with my Backs but Taupau/Farrah/Pearce would help strengthen my bench

Smith
Arrow Fifita
Jurbo Chrichton Tolo
SJ DCE
Ramien Mitchell
Turbo Cotric Brimson (Ponga)

Cook McInnis Martin Sua
C.Scott Fainu Lewis Ponga

Thoughts? Cheers lads

I've two trades left. I know that patience is a virture.

But I'd really like to do Murray/Tuala to Arrow/Abbey.

Murray would sit in 18th/poolhoop otherwise.

Is this just first-season stupidity?

I like the second idea. Still not a fan of the Fifi to Taupau.
