2018 NRL.com Fantasy thread part 66

I missed things in the weekend...why did Fainu only get 42 minutes? Injury? Or given a spell cause of the of field stuff going on? Or something else...

His PPM was still really high but if he's not playing 70-80mins then he's gone from my team

Its going to be carnage this week.....

I'm not going to captain Cook as well. Time to plummet!

My preferred options:
Smith vs Eels
Fifi vs Cowboys sans-Tolo
DCE vs Titans

From memory (sorry, not 100%) - didnt he give away a few penalties in the first 20 odd mins? Got hooked with the Bulldogs in front.

I'm thinking his head wasn't 100% and he was trying too hard. Just my opinion. Could have been planned/tactical though? Dunno, BAH...

100% too much use of 100%

100% agree.

That ones for you Milch

Raiders v Roosters - the Roosters haven't beaten the Raiders since March 2015 & haven't won in Canberra since July 2010. Cotric leads the league this season in tackle breaks ahead of Ponga & Tedesco. I think I'll play Cotric as my Taumalolo replacement because I only have 1 trade left & sure enough if I use it I'll get an injury in my team.

Gallen is reported to make a decision on his future this week

Its hard picking a captain this week.

Turbo V Titans (He missed their RD 5 Clash)
Cook v Broncos (Broncos looking sloppy of late, especially around the middle)
Smith v Eels (Oh captain, My Captain)
Taupau v Titans (Could go big if he gets the minutes)
SJ v Bulldgos (Could break the line a few times)

Wish i had a clear option/reason to trade. I have 3 left for 3 rounds i just want to use them. Might hold this week, i just feel i need to make one crucial trade this week to stay in the finals for L8

Those two extra dots

Spoiler:

Rabbitohs are set to blood rookie Mawene Hiroti (CTR/WFB) in this weeks game against the Broncos.

Warriors have the same 21 man squad as last week.

Sloooooooow daaaaaaay. Cant wait until the 4pm flurry

Just having a little think to myself about players for my team next year and who could be next year’s Ponga or Isaako or Cook and I keep bringing myself to Cameron Murray. Was meant to be this years Chrichton and the Bunnies were meant to “do everything they can to please him”. Cameron was supposed to get the 60-80 minute lock role and be there all year but unfortunately he suffered an ongoing hamstring injury which led to his eventual demotion to the bench. With Sutton likely retiring and Chrichton moving on does Murray possible push into an 80 minute edge back rower or does Sam go into that spot and Murray plays the middle?

Its a public holiday here (brisbane) tomorrow, so all day I've felt like there is footy on tonight...

Sutton’s form and the Burgess boys return to form resulted in Murray’s limited minutes. Can see him become the 80min 2RF next year with what you’ve said, and someone like Dean Britt being on the bench. They’ll also be losing Clark, but Nicholls will fill that void. Fuimaono, Tuala probably see more minutes too.

Hey Loomer good to see you on ffs bro.
