2019 NRL.com Fantasy thread part 1

@ Milchy, from visiting Fanhubs test site could you gauge if there will be any format changes to the game or are we stuck with last years debacle. (Thanks for letting us voice our concerns in the survey NRL)

All I can see is the player list. @filthyklean might know more, he is pretty handy at sniffing things out.

I would guess that we are stuck with 21 man squad sizes (otherwise we would have seen prices fall a bit to cater for the extra players) Anything else would be guess work.

If they keep the massive loopholes of last year I foresee a lot of people playing Supercoach this year

My gut call return to elite keeper is JDB at his price and if he avoids doing some time. Reckon he picks up the LAM slack

A quick stab, plenty of gaps to fill. I dont even know why I'm posting this tbh

Macca
Alvaro cheapo
Jurbo Murray TPJ
DCE Morgan
Moga cheapo
Turbo RTS cheapo

Segy, Haas + cheapo madness x2
4 x 212s

That just about fits under the cap

Would anyone like to PM me the test site link? Thanks

He won't be doing much from a prison cell if he gets done for the rape.

Morgan will be my first picked without JT has always gone well without him in the past! How much is Moga can’t find him on the list, another definite for me if cheap enough, Stimson will likely get a good look as well from me

wouldn't mind the test site link if anyone has it?

So bad but made me laugh. I think it sets the tone nicely for the 2019 season

Corey Allan of he gets the gig, Bronson Xerri, Savelio with Moose gone, Sandor Earl, Jack Bird and Emre Guler... All hypothetics until we see trials and team lists obviously but they'd be my money guys if they're there or thereabouts. Mid range value guys are a bit slimmer but Jake Clifford, Curtis Scott, Morgan, CHN should be able to improve. I'm actually interested in Barba at that price (tho would've been happier with 350k ish) as I feel if prices and cap are indeed inflating this year mid rangers are going to be more important.

I'll be watching teams like Brisbane, Warriors, Newcastle, the Sharks... Teams that have had some excessive player movement over the offseason and are yet to lock in spots. I personally put little to no faith in nrl.coms "predicted lineups" so will just wait and see.

With the loss of LAM and not much else added...Korbin and potential JDB trouble

Reckon Paul Vaughn could be in for a return to the prop elite this year

I think so. Him & McInnes used to have that play close to the line & Vaughan got a few tries. What worries me with him is that he seems to pick up injuries. The last 2 years I think he's been injured. Imo he would still be a good punt because imo he'll stay injury free up to origin.

Anyone going to punt on Widdop (hlf) if he gets named to start at f/b in round 1. Past on previous he will automatically get dpp hlf/wfb. I've seen little bits of him playing f/b & he carves up making some pretty good lb's. However his body is so hammered will he handle the extra work at f/b & the hits. I can imagine taking a high ball, falling on his shoulder & dislocating it.

Tolman should get a good bump in minutes this year. Klemmer & Woods who both had big motors are gone. They have signed Napa who doesn't have a big motor. Tolman is consistent & reliable. He averaged 41% in 2018 so the extra minutes could push him to 45-50%

OK penis slurpers. I’m back for the new season. I was a little unlucky with things last year, otherwise I’d have won the thing, but this year’s different. It’s time to get fair dinkum.

2019 is the year I take out the choccies. Watch and learn.
