2018 NRL.com Fantasy Thread Part 62

For those that own him, don't worry, I'm sure Josh Dugan will return soon

Jake Clifford named at both 6 and 18 for the Cowboys.

I assume that the 6 is the real one.

What a gun, can be 18th man for himself.

Isaako FB

No Dugan

Ponga in

Garner starting

Peachy FB, Yeo lock, JFH prop, Merrin bench, CHN starting

Hayne wing

Cotric centre

Arrow named

Radley lock, Matto starting, Aubbs and Liu bench

Seriously considering starting Fainu/Tolman over Arrow in my 17. Clearly Arrow isn't 100%.

Garner @ 228k with a b/e of -4 & starting.

Radley would’ve been a great but a few weeks ago. Garner a good cash out option this week. Yep at lock is interesting. Cotric Centre could mean more ball!

I think if Arrow starts you have to play him against the Warriors because he could go large. Last week was disappointing as he aggravated his injury in the first set of defense but what this doesn't happen this week & he plays like he usually does. To answer your question I would play Fainu.

It really depends if the injury is going to restrict his minutes again. Playing an injured player in my team over someone like Fainu could cost me a lot of points (again)

Matt Scott and Jordan Mclean named in the reserves for Cowboys, could be late inclusions as they have started contact training this week

Garner is choice. Peachey will go berserk at f/b & Yeo at lock will go berserker. (I know berserker isn't a word but if the young ones can create new words & meanings then I don't see why this old bastard can't haha).

Too bad Peachy will be back to the bench in a week.

Why do you care what his BE is?

How much money do you need to build your final team?

Do you have the trades to trade him in and out again?

How many weeks will it take for Garner to make enough money before you can upgrade him?

If you are in a H2H comp with plenty of trades left and need to maximise everything for finals maybe he could do OK.


If you think he will score enough points to be playable (or a viable 18th/19th man) then go for it, but in almost every case I don't think any money he'll make over the next month will be worthwhile.

Tough call but I like your thinking & at this point of the season calculated risks will pay off & you will gain ground. Can you use the loophole for Arrow & Fainu.

Same story as last week(hopefully a better outcome) who sits out out of Martin,Brown or Arrow? Or maybe Taumalolo or Farah?

What's the point of asking when the option was wrong last week and it's near impossible to get it right?

However, based on last week, would have to be Arrow.

I'm leaving Walker out this week. Just know he's gonna go 60+.

Roll a dice danseels.

That's fair enough mate, but against the Eels he could pull something out.

MBye or Aitken will be my 18th man this week. Atiken if I decide to trade MBye.

MBye to Turbo or Kikau is very tempting.

Dammit Dugan.
