NRL Fantasy 2019 Part 13

Iron Mike wrote:Is this team a stupid idea:

Mahoney
Fifita Taupau
Taumololo Arrow Murray
Keighran DBrown
Holland Nikora
RTS Watson DEdwards

Lane Garner Burr Lawrie

Sele Sivo Ravalawa Xerri/Garrick (not sure I want a dud Manly winger).

Only cover I don't have is at hooker, but I'm so undecided I'm happy to wait until it's more clear. No hooker that I want plays round 12 either except Mahoney.
Watson can cover halves for the meantime if one of the wingers look better than them.

Not happy to miss Niukore/Radley/Ofa/Twal.

Benji did say on NRL 360 Madge wasn't happy with the forwards fitness yet so needed a four forward bench against a big manly pack, but it could change next week. Also wants an experienced prop on bench so splitting Matulino and Packer up. So Twal gets the start.

Though that would mean Ponga is probably cheaper by then and you would swap Watson straight over

Love the idea of risking it for the biscuit. But for me Hooker is the one position you don’t want to end up scrambling to sort out 3 weeks in.

All this Watson conviction. At his price and a BE of 40 surely you would be expecting 45-50 for any value? Whereas Edwards who has a BE of 38 and averaged 45 (minus his injury game) in the first 7 rounds of last year and 48 in 2017 when playing fullback, another year older and more room for improvement. He is better value? Am i wrong?

I've looked at all of them. Think Teddy is just an easy set and forget.

The 21 man squad is the enabler. I wouldn't with the old school game. Chances are I'm bound to get an injury from one of my other 10 players above base price before Mahoney becomes non relevant or injured. By that stage I will know what hooker to jump on at a good price. In fact I would rather target Tapine/Nathan Brown as they play round 12 before getting a hooker I may not want come seasons end. If a longer injury I will go from Mahoney to Radley and still be getting value.

This is true but I think what is on most peoples mind is who will be the next Teddy/RTS... will it be Watson? Edwards? Hughes?

I've got him and I'm sticking. Dual. Is moving to a position where it is favourable for his game. Extra TB's and run metres will outweigh tackles by 5-10 points over the season, great support player, fit, strong, fast and a decent pack.
Will be the surprise fullback this year and could even rival Teddy.
In the Teddy mould but much cheaper.

Lockout can't come soon enough

I think he’s too small for a modern day FB to be making the impact of say a Tedesco or Turbo. They’re sizeable blokes, like Inglis.I also think that his size will make him an injury risk. His stats at the Roosters when FB were average from memory. Just my opinion. Pass.
