NRL Fantasy 2019 Part 11

Siro, Morgan, Capewell, Stimson, Katoa, other POD under that?

Or keep Morgan in 1/2s and put Brown back on the bench? (Other 1/2 is Munster)

Stimson for me. Lots of chat about Sironen. I'm looking at squeezing him in. Another option that people are hot on is Garner.

I liked the look of Glasby, just a funny price, atm I have down graded to Gavet

What is the interest in Gavet?

Nothing to back it up, just a feeling.

Final FB, I have RTS and CNK, have 533K

Considering GI, Hughes, Moylan, Gutherson. Who’s your pick?

Should I consider anyone else?

Lots of people talking up Hughes but not quite sure he'll match expectation. Guth and Wighton have potential to do well this year. I'm picking them to average 40. Moylan plays best at FB but he's still pretty hit and miss. He doesn't get kick return metres or the TBs off them. GI is not an option. Personally, I'd go cheapie until you can see who you should jump on

I've gone Hughes, but its not with a great deal of confidence. 4 of his 5 fullback scores last year were below 40 (although in 2017 he averaged 54 in 3 games there)

Moylan's fantasy output has declined year on year (you have to go back to 2016 to find when he was any good)

Unless Inglis is fit enough to play fullback, you don't want him

Gutherson has never been a top level fantasy fullback without goalkicking, so I am avoiding, though I can see a little bit of temptation there

I think I have succumbed to the pressure of not having Cook/Smith,just means I need to play Lomax in my 17 but my bench is solid then. Thoughts on this?(then I promise I’m not touching it til TLT)

Nikora
Hunt
Keighran
Hopoate

Who are the popular players you won’t be touching regardless of TLT. For me it’s Kahu. We have years of poor scores regardless of his position to show why he is cheap and his knees are shot to pieces.

Great points, Hughes was a lock for me, but have gone off him.

Cheaper option, thinking Kahu ? Upgrade is an option but would be a downgrade of SJ/Munster in the 1/2s

Any reason behind it?

value in CTR and lack of cheap money makers in reserve so I’m going to wait and see how he goes

Thanks mate, Wrighton has started to come up as a option too

Guess it comes down to how many cheapies are named for TLT

Starting Lomax, does free up some cash, I need to look at that.

I have a grudge with Bird after last year when I picked him over Ramien and he flopped and got injured when he was playing 5/8. Bird is 31.6% owned (3rd highest in the game behind Lomax and Brown) - Personally I'd rather Kahu or one of the 212k players if they play (Garrick, Ravalawa)

Yes mate! I like my current team but waiting for podcast to discuss it pre TLT then see how much it changes haha
