NRL Fantasy 2019 Part 11

Currently have Capewell, Sironen, Garner and Katoa (HOK) in my 14-17.

Would it better to get rid of one and just run a Brown/Keighran in there

I think Katoa is a great Hooker, doesn't get a lot of love.

If panthers dont have a back up HOK on the bench, ill ditch mahoney for him 100%.

Offers so much in attack, great player.

Dogs team news: forward pack will be Napa, Lichaa, Tolman, RFM, Jackson, Elliott, (INT: Sue, Fualalo, CHN, JMK). Lewis will guide the team, Foran in a running 5/8 role, Martin misses out. Possible curve ball in back 5 though... #NRL #NRLFantasy

Not seeing the huge minutes needed for Tolman there. Sue & Fuallalo both go 30-40 of the bench, CHN spells Elliott. Only leaves 40-50 each for Tolman & Napa. Fine at Napa's price, less so at Tolman's.

Kenny Bromwich will play second row.

Also mentions that Tino Faasuamaleaui was expected to be in the 17 but he rolled his ankle. He is a future gun, same age as Dave Fifita.

Is Kenny going to be the long term 2RF over Stimson? Could be a decent shout at 65+ minutes

Strange that meaney hasn't had as much hype around him anymore.

Hopoate has been playing fullback in the trials.

if Meaney gets fullback in TLT then i guess he'll come under more consideration

Really? Sue is bog average imo. Fualalo I'm not certain on but hasn't seemed to step up as yet.

Was thinking it looked great for Tolman since Elliot doesnt seem to play big mins at lock either.

I was going off Sue's bench minutes on your site, mate

Kenny Bromich was named to start multiple times last year in the second row only for him to be a late minute switch back to the bench on game day. I only remember this as I had him.in my Moneyball team multiple times only to see him drop to the bench. So I am just a bit cautious seeing him there again.

On a side note, don't have much of an idea or knowledge about Garner, but seems to be popular here. Can anyone fill me in why he is a regular in so many teams. (I do understand he is coming in for Stimson in a lot of teams, but why?)

What do you think he would score in 80 mins?

Garner has come into a lot of teams because of Lawrence getting injured with cheekbone injury which then worsened so he is out for 3-4 months apparently meaning someone takes his starting spot probably being Garner (or maybe McQueen)

Think it's a simple matter of being the cheapest starting 2rf with relative job security (Lawrence out for two months).

I'd say Hopa at 1

Hopefully, Hopa was putting Holland over for tries in the trials.

I'd think he would be good for around the 45 mark.

Gets reasonably busy in defense and has the ability to break tackles and set up trys.

Was averaging around 35 tackles in 50-55 mins last year

Cheers lads.

Would prefer to keep Garner so that leaves one of Sironen and Capewell to drop out.

Think Capewell stays in case Nikora is a bit of a bust?

Who are some good halfs less then 600k

I want to bring back TPJ into my squad at the expense of either Gillett or Papali'i. I know TPJ is going to be named on the bench, probably, but I see him scoring more than these two.

Any thoughts as to whom should I replace?

Everyone was on Morgan for a while. I like Croft at that range too as he seems to have settled down in his role.

FalconSloth wrote:Who are some good halfs less then 600k

Morgan with JT retired
Croft--if he can play like his latter 2018 games he's value, but he played poorly in trials and question marks with the Smiths likely on the field at the same time
Nikorima--Played well in trials but goes missing if the team is playing average

Also likes a missed tackle by the looks.

Kinda interested in spending some cash on Hampton
