2018 NRL.com Fantasy thread part 68

Ah ok cheers guys. Will have to login to the webby for the first time in months.

Sucks if Martin plays I will have 17 but only get 16 scores as I have no cover for Aitken unless I’m looking at it wrong? Should I have Lewis or Martin as 18th man?

Not a huge POD, but Pangai? Could go huge verse Manly if they get lazy. Also a risk if he is rested for big mins if the Bronx win easy

Walker in for Ponga
Holland in for Aitken
Arrow in for Martin

May as 18th man

Hopefully can take advantage and score well

I've finally got 2 red dots but they both play in the same game fairly early in the week so I can't even utilise them. Boo.

Are you looping with Olive??

Yep. Leave as is if Blake scores well otherwise swap Holland in for Olive.

I've never watched "The Back Page" before and I just turned it on for 5mins.

Fucking hell it's terrible.

Yeah I also really like the looks of either Stimson, Croft, Munster or Kaufusi. Panthers edge defence can get very lazy and leak a lot of points/line breaks, plus Storm will be firing for Billy’s last regular season game.

Anybody else running with less than 17 this week? Also which 2 should I play out of Arrow,Lewis and Martin? Or bench ARey and play all 3?

Thinking of running a bench of McInnis Smith Croft and looping Arrow and Martin. Have Ramien in CTR and if he is out Cotric will come in.

Do you think we should be careful captaining people such as Cook, Smith as they may be rested if their teams are far enough ahead

Bunnies won't get ahead mate, Cook will play 80.

with Packer out injured Eisenhuth will probably get some good stats.

My Hail Mary bet if you want someone who can go large is Brodie Croft. Finally showing the form that caused everyone to have him in pre-season

I need a back for Aitken but only have 507K to spend. Isaako looking like the only decent option. Unless I take a punt on Mansour but probably not worthwhile. With Arrow and ARey on the pine, do I trade Farah to Holmes when Liddle is confirmed on the bench, run Arrow but then only have ARey as cover? Or swap ARey to RTS and keep Arrow as 18th man. I can see Liddle getting more minutes now their season is fucked. Team is;

Cook
Fifita Taupau
Tolo JTurbo Crichton
Cleary SJ
Aitken Marsters
Mitchell Ponga Holland

Smith James Farah Martin

ARey Arrow Clifford Rooster RedDot

Thanks lads.

The Back Page is usually a good show what was bad about it?
