Not great news out of @NRLKnights training. Kalyn Ponga and Connor Watson both didn’t get through today’s final run. Will both undergo fitness tests tomorrow, but are in serious doubt to face the Tigers. @nbnnews

This has got to make (c)Farah even more tempting.
The Tigers can still make the 8. Newcastle will be a bit less structured. And Robbie is playing for his future.
I've had an awful season with captaincy, probably because I know fsck all, but I'm starting to feel like this is a good call.

Thoughts on the below options?
1. Play ponga and hope for the best
2. Play Holland instead and hope Ponga doesn't go big.
3. Holland centres > Fergo bench then play Fergo at FB if Ponga is indeed out tomorrow?
Edit: leaning towards 3
Can you see how Holland goes and just cop his score if Ponga is a late out, if Holland goes okay?

Re: 2018 NRL.com Fantasy thread part 64
If Ponga is out I have no cover, at least ill know by the time Titans play so if Ponga is out I may go Arrow > Teddy?
Any validity in my thinking gents?

I think they might be a bit low. Not sure though. Probably won't get around to checking it out this week

Yeah surely you've got a great chance to loop here if you're into that.
Have Holland above Fergo in your EMGs.
If Holland plays well, leave it so Holland comes in for Pong.
If Holland stinks it up, move Ferg to play instead of Pong.

Oh yeah, well I have Mann.
Who's gonna do better - some bunch of letters, some guy who is so famous for only walking everywhere that they actually named him Walker, or a bloke who is such a perfect male specimen that they gave him an extra 'n' ?!?!?!?!!?
Yeah. That's right. Mann.

I want Holland to have a big game again so I can trade MBye to Surgess/Gal/Cleary. Don't want to keep and play him, but I guess he could go okay against the Knights.

Repost:
Too early to use my last trade to go Arrow to McInnes? Cannot afford to do it after this week.
If it was round 23 instead of Round 21 I would pull the trigger but 4 rounds with 0 trades is a scary prospect.
I do have backup for every position but none of these are guns.
I am also considering just waiting for the results of Fainu's court date after this round and picking him up for a Lewis/Brimson type, which allows me to keep Arrow as 18th man in case he improves.
Thoughts?

Was looking at trading perhaps Arrow + Isaako for the likes of Ponga and Mitchel? Or Marsters who also adds a bit of Forward cover. Also tossing up whether it would be better to keep Isaako and get rid of Cotric? Thoughts?
If you have any other thoughts on what I should do with the trades/cash... I'd love to hear them. Cheers
My current team is as follows
1.Tommy Turbo
2. RTS
3. Aitken
4. Cotric
5. Issako
6. S Johnson
7. A Reynolds
8. Fafita
9. Cam Smith
10. James
11. Taumalolo
12. Taupau
13. Nathan Brown
Bench Spots are -
1. Farah
2. R Martin
3. Fainu
4. Jai Arrow
EMG Bench -
1.Fisher-Harris
2.Brimson
3.Katoa
4.Tuala
Hey man. Buy Cook.

Sorry boys. Small stressing out over here. If ponga is out is it worth trading Arrow to Teddy? Then i would have Cotric has WBF/CTR cover moving forwards when ponga is back

Tolman should see big minutes tonight with no Klemmer and I can't see Taumalolo scoring big against the Roosters defence.
Also might play Brimson over RTS, leaving my 18-20th players Taumalolo, SJ and RTS. I might be crazy.
