NRL Fantasy 2019 Part 13

J. Williams vs napa

also is Will smith capable at hooker

Is having two rooster in my WFB alright - Teddy and BMOZ or should I switch BMOZ to Burns?

Not gonna lie, pretty stock standard team around here post TLT but in all fairness that isn't a bad thing given the pedigree of blokes around here. Definitely get rid of Lawrie though, little upside and he'll make way for Korbin Sims when he comes back from suspension. Sele also probably has little upside, Bench props tend to be like that. Good luck!





Given Host is an edge forward, i feel he or Luciano may drop out of the 17 alltogether when Sims comes back. Tariq has said he expects Korbin to go to 13, so friz goes back to an edge, so we need 2 middle forwards on the bench, being Latimore+Lawrie in all likelihood, with Luciano/Host as the 17.

Sele i do agree with, im just after a base price middle forward who should get 30 odd mins with a decent PPM, plus the DPP is handy. Keen to hear any alternatives though!

I actually like Sele at this stage. Will be a slow burner but first man up off the interchange bench I'm expecting 35/40 minutes and 30 odd points

If I had 22 spots in the squad I would be grabbing him. Think he makes a bit of cash with a slow burn

Need some advice lads:

Twal vs Ofa or Vaughan

I've got Twal for 45 with a stacked pack and the other two a smidgen over 50.. Problem is I'd have to downgrade elsewhere to get the extra $80-90k (likely Burns to Kahu etc)

I've got Burns Rn but don't know what his job security is like

have been wondering about this too.  been asked a couple of times, but not sure anyone knows - any Manly fans out there?

The whole backline is not NRL standard. Anyone could go. Add wacky Des into the equation and I'd suggest staying the hell away from Manly players.

Really just one spot I'm trying to settle on. I have all of Sivo, Ravalawa and Garrick in 19-21, all of them could be gone in a few rounds but I'm happy to take the punt along with everyone else and hope a couple of them stick.

#18 is Jack Bird right now (Nikora starting instead). Could go Kahu or Lawrie, or go down to Sele or similar to have 120k in the kitty. Not even close to figuring this one out.

Hey guys, Reed Mahoney was a lock all pre-season when all the talk was he was going to be an 80 minute hooker given a four forward Eels bench. Now with Will Smith there, how do people see that affecting Mahoney's minutes?

Somebody suggested that smith wouldn't make a big impact on his scores.

I don't understand how that could be the case though.

Still scored well with 60 minutes though. Seems to be a tackle monster.

I think Katoa may be a bad idea from the panthers with Egan there. Was really only going to jump on Katoa if he could get 80 or close to it.

He hasn't left my team.

I'm currently considering which 2 to pick.

Macca + Taupau or CS9 + Surgess is the question?

I see one game last year where both Smith and Mahoney played where Mohaney was starting hooker and Smith off the bench.

Mahoney got 63 minutes that game, Smith 22

I guess if Mahoney hits the 60 to 65 min average, he is a 35-40 point player (previous I have placed him as a 45-50 point player off of closer to 80 minutes per game. There's upside to that though as he can clearly play 80 and may still get that this year.

Unless others have thoughts, for me, after a bit more though he is certainly not the lock he once was, but probably still warrants a spot in the 17.

What are you expecting from him given TLT? Surely everyone has downgraded their expectations given there is no longer a 4 forward bench as previously thought?

I like option 2 but certainly feeing uneasy about not having Cook in my own team at the moment. Do you have FRF cover on the bench? Having Gavet with no cover could be a problem with Ese’ese in the wider 21 - how long will he be out of the team and what impact will that have on Gavets minutes if he comes back?

No great cover.....Flegler and Host both risky

Yeah, 60 something minutes, around 40 points, and then hope that there are some 80 minute games coming up as things evolve with the team.

I have come do a decision with my team. I’m going to go through today and evaluate everyone, what I expect them to score, what they are priced at and if there is anyone around the price I expect to score better.
