NRL Fantasy 2019 Part 10

Yeah I imagine everyone would be planning will be to upgrade to Cook and Smith, so my thoughts are that it doesn't really matter who you have in that position as long as they are increasing in value and bridging that gap. Granted Mahoney will require a larger sum of money to upgrade than a McCullough pick (in the event that Macca isn't a keeper and requires upgrading, that is). But Mahoney still has plenty of dollar value for wiggle room if things don't pan out, whereas a cheaper hooker like Katoa might worry me for those reasons. And most importantly, the new format of NRLF really makes your team more fool-proof to these problems, in that I can really trade any player into a premium hooker (instead of needing to trade hooker>hooker pre-2018) to get myself out of trouble. Lama is only 100k away from Macca so if he isn't getting the minutes and Macca is killing it, I can always correct that mistake early (though I have a few possibilities up my sleeve). You mentioned Friend earlier, and I too am interested, but thinking I will take a slight warchest (150-200k) into round 1 and play Macca and Friend off against each other to find the best pick between them if they really are looking to be irresistible. Realistically I think they are only slightly undervalued.

Question to the forum, I mentioned my cash in the bank. I have never done this in my numerous years of playing fantasy sports, but it feels right this season. With all the mid-rangers looking undervalued I have a number in my team and am currently running with 192k ITB to try and dig myself out of any traps. Who else is going into R1 cashed up, and how big is your warchest?

I'd trust the Broncos medical team over a SC player. He might not play but he still has a week until the game.

Where's the sauce for the medical team saying he'd be ready?

Currently have Edwards/Hughes/Rava (WFB will replace Rava in the 13)

Who should i be looking at?

CNK/BMoz or are there other candidates?

This is a well balanced team. The one change you could make to strengthen your ctrs is downgrade stimson to someone like lomax for extra outside back cover, play brown in your 17 and upgrade kahu to holland

Hodgson?
Fifita, LAM
Matterson, Lane?, Murray
Moylan?, Brown
Kahu, Nikora
RTS, CNK, Morris?

Mahoney, Gavet?, Napa?, Garner
Sele, Keighran, Lomax, Xerri

547K left in the bank (Probably will burn 6 trades first 4 rounds)
What's your view on Xerri's job security?
