NRL Fantasy 2019 Part 10

Does anyone have a record of amount of games missed by SJ through injury each year

I swear each year I've played I've finished the season with no trades and an injured SJ in my squad - but looking at last year he was only injured from 9-13 (assuming bye round in there as well)

Has his tolerance to ankle and leg problems increased

SJ- Floor 40 Expected Average 58 Cash +$91k
Munster - Floor 40 Expected Average 55 Cash +$152k
Croft - Floor 20 Expected Average 50 Cash +$184k
Nikorima-Floor 20 Expected Average 45 Cash +$166k

I think SJ is realistic, the rest optimistic lol combos I'm tossing up

SJ+Morgan
Munster + Morgan
Munster + Croft
Croft+ Morgan
Croft + Nikorima

SJ - floor 25 expected average 49. I see SJ taking a step backwards playing next to Townsend. Townsend is a better long range kicker than Green and SJ got bulk points in this area. Inexperienced coach with a bunch of club drama hanging over their heads, loss of Lewis and Graham(12 weeks) I see the Sharks losing more often than they win.
Munster - floor 30 expected average 50. Munster to take a step up with no Slater. As I mentioned a few weeks back his stats without Slater are pretty insane and most of these games had Hughes at 1. Outside chance he plays a few games at fullback where he will be the best WFB in the comp. Pretty high floor due to high tackle numbers and run metres.
Croft - floor 20 expected average 43. Takes on slightly more responsibility with no Slater but I see Croft as fools gold. Taking into account his recent trial performances he has as many bad games as good.
Nikorima - floor 15 expected average 35. Plenty of terrible performances in the halves and not a noted kicker. Low floor as Milford will dominate the kicking. Will be heavily reliant on attacking stats for his points and already scored 9 tries last year

@bluetige did Papali'i really score 36 points in 37 minutes?

He's the one I'm not sure of, Warriors were being subbed frequently and I think I missed seeing him in the back half of the 1st half. All the other times I'm confident of being within a minute or two but not Papalii. If you want to watch it again then watch from the 23rd/24th minute when he gets subbed and see if he returns in the from that point until half time

I want to try fit Munster in my team! But I can’t!!!!

Damn this forum is so persuasive.

I am really going cold on having Morgan and Keighran/Brown in my halves. I am scared they both could misfire and I will be spending too much money getting them out. Would feel a lot safer to have morgan and a gun in there so if Morgan misfires its an easier jump. I am just overthinking things?

Yes. Morgan will fire.

Munster/Morgan, I love M&Ms

Munster should be down your alley mate

I have spent a long time trying to budget cut my team in order to fit Fifita in. He has always been someone I worked toward and never started with him, but he is looking really fit and his potential for big minutes early makes him more irresistible as a starter than any other season. After trying every possibility of downgrade, I have ended up cutting Macca- the first man picked in every team I have made so far and the first player who came to mind when pitching ideas as early as last season. It's not the Macca isn't undervalued, but it took me a long time to realize that he is just the least undervalued of all my picks. I think the emergence of Mahoney makes this possible, and now I am running him is my primary hooker as I have seen with a few other teams. The only concern is that I potentially have one 'final 17 gun' less in my starting team and that will be an extra trade along the way.

Okay, now change my mind that I have made a mistake.

As much as I expect SJ to go to the next level, I equally agree with your analysis. Bear in mind though, he played with Townsend in 2014 and 2015 and still averaged over 50.

Yup, I was talking Munster up a while ago and nobody was biting hahaha

Croft, agreed..

Nikorima is 50/50 but I expect him to improve under Siebold. Wayne just cramped him and Milf.

Im looking for a 3rd 2rf to play in my 17. Atm im tossing up between Garner, Stimson and Sironen. Does any body want to try and sway my opinion in any direction? Or feel free to offer another suggestion in that mid/low price range? Cheers

I don't think the sample size for Munster with Hughes at FB is big enough- only 3 games

Scores of 57, 54 with a try, 73
that 73 the second highest score of his season and the highest tryless score though.

make of that what you will

Are you even sure Macca makes your final 17? Fifita definitely will.

I can't help, all three are on my 14-17 atm.

I just cannot fit him in anywhere. There is no one in my current team i am happy downgrading, mind you i only need another 20-30K

Yeah I forgot to mention the 9 game sample without Slater was 2017 & 2018. 5 in 2017, 4 in 2018
