NRL Fantasy 2019 Part 11

TPJ ,SUrgess or Lane?

i feel like we have truly come full circle in our discussions, because I want to bring up Tolman. People were hot on him when Napa looked to be out, and have cooled since. He was poor when playing off the bench and at lock early last year but as soon as he went back to prop he gunned it, only one poor score and consistently 5-15 points above where he was priced depending on whether he got 50-70 minutes. Just can't see any downside to him even with Napa playing. Any Tolman love still going around?

Such a volatile spot and it does my head in that position

Last year, other than Katoa getting injured round 1, pretty much every WFB/CTR cheapie started well

Hiku, Isaako, Corey Thompson all did superb first few weeks. Phillip Sami as well for those that had him
Richie Kennar got a few good weeks in before getting injured
Ben Hampton fluffed around for a few weeks before killing it from round 4 for a couple months

And we had Kikau, Havili, JFH raking in the cash for forward cheapies

I'd be surprised if this years batch are better.

Mcguire,Lane,Surgess and TPJ . I need two of the four. Who do we think

I can't see Tolman averaging less than 45, and for a guy priced at 38 that is not too bad.
There might be some batter value out there, but I think he is much less risk than some of the other guys people are pinning their hopes on.

Haven't tinkered with my FRF yet, 3 mids Tolman/LAM/Vaughan.

Seriously considering Lodge though.

Should we wait 5 minutes and see if another choice gets added?

Personally I don't trust TPJs hammies, at least to start the year.
I am not sure on McGuire maintaining his workload in a stacked pack, so that leaves you with Lane and Surgess

I like Lane more than Surgess, not exactly sure what to expect from Surgess other than the fact he has had a steady fantasy decline over the past few seasons.

I don't see it. The dolphins are successful and have the cash but Ipswich or Logan are much more accessible. My parents live over that way and there's not to transport infrastructure to support.

Btw, hate Bombers name as well.

I can't see any downside to Tolman and have definitely got him for R1.

If GI plays right centre I will walk down Oxford Street naked on my hands, not a pretty sight .

Does anyone have the storm team list? I’ve got an article saying they’ve named their squad and then there’s no names on the article.

My back 3 at the moment are RTS, CNK and BMoz. Honestly, there's no one at the back this year that's really exciting me. Edwards and Hughes are a couple of others I'm looking at.

Thoughts on John Bateman as a centre/bench 2RF? my other centres are Capewell and Nikora, my other 2RFs are Arrow, Murray, IPap and Garner

I've got Widdop locked in at HLF and will move him down to WFB if he gets dual (which he should if he's named at fullback in round 1), he could be a good option early on as the Dragons tend to fire

21 man squad, no Stimson. 4 to be cut, could be Seve/Chambers (depending on injury), Hughes/Paphuizen, Croft/Walters, then one of PKauf/Eisenhuth/2i

Apologies to fellow League 4 members but I haven't received the PM with the League 4 code or the overall league. I've PM'd Mulvy tonight but if there's another member of league 4 that could PM me the code, I'd appreciate it

Thanks mate, maybe this could turn out to be good with Stimson out, it’s not as though he’s expensive so perhaps he could become a cash out option once fit.
