NRL Fantasy 2019 Part 13

Morgan had 1 period in 2017 where he scored well (Round 11 -18), the rest of the time he was just another HLF. I really don't see the appeal, and if you are running another rookie HLF, you could get burnt very badly.

He is just another Lockyer, I don't see him being relevant at all.

Most will, but I shouldn’t have to make 2 trades If he performs like us true believers think he will, then it’s a win. If not it’s a 1 trade deal once I’ve seen who to get on.

Agree in general though, running a Morgs/Brown or Keighran combo could be a 40 points combined disaster.

I have Host and I don't particularly like it, its bugging me, but he's basement price and I don't want to rejig my team/downgrade another player to find 200k, just to turn him into.. another midranger.

That said, why are people assuming Frizzel goes straight back to right edge when Sims is back? Has this been confirmed? Sims, quite frankly, isn't very good, and averaged less than 40 minutes a game in 2018, in a Broncos pack that was short on decent middle forwards.

How many points are people expecting from Hetherington? Seems a very tempting pick

Run 3 rookie WFB and 3 mid price 2RF. Stack hooker, HLF and FRF.

There is your recipe

.

That's the same for any midranger hat doesn't perform.

Ideally you have other halves you can play instead, so you get more flexibility in who comes in for Morgan

Mahoney is another that may disappoint leaving people in trouble if he is their sole hooker

Have Radley as cover for Macca so:

a) Mahoney (Bench) and Sivo (Starts in WFB)
b) Fotuaiki (Bench) and Burns (Starts in WFB)

The whole thing is in that period he played without JT and alongside TMM. ALA 2019 no JT and alongside TMM who only averages 32.4 kick metres and Granville who only averages 10.3 kick metres. Running off probably the biggest pack in the comp. Has Hess/Cooper/Tolo running onto his short balls close to the line and has McDonald and Feldt to kick to at the end of the sets. Plus has speed to burn. So there is definitely enough upside to warrant a spot in your team for someone who is 450K and a BE of 30.

85 metres, 20 tackles, 5 missed, 3 penalties, 1 sin bin, suspended for two weeks






Sorry, I have no idea.

Thoughts on Moeaki Fotuaika as a POD? He's got huge PPM and passes the eye test with flying colours, can find the line, and also plays R12

Does anyone know if Simonsson is in the Raiders back 3 on merit or Is he filling in for an injury/suspension (other than Rapana). Is he just keeping Oldfield and Abbey out at this stage.

Wondering if he could be this years Sami - base price starter who isn’t getting talked about. I am tempted to go with him over Ravalawa.

Any thoughts appreciated

You could just be the man to sway me. I have Tatola at the moment. 

I assume their job security is about the same, although surely Tatola still gets a bench once the Big G is back? Tatola suggests he has much more chance of getting that 35 minimum we want from these kind of guys. Obviously though I have an extra 80k in the kitty if I went Host.

Are you taking Host over someone like Tatola due to price?

Ha! I would prefer not to sway someone to picking Host.

I don't mind the Tatola pick, definitely appears safer than Host. Could actually continue to start even after George is back.

He is still another 100k ish more than Host and that's a downgrade elsewhere that I am not liking. I am just going to close my eyes and hope Host has a couple of good games. I basically have 16 ish players I am set on and trying to work within the budget for the last 4 or 5. Just looks better when I leave Host there and hope he gets a decent shot.

I have him pencilled in but have no idea. Not even sure who he is covering for

Thanks! Website is showing Oldfield as a red dot rather than injured!

Eye test?

As in he can catch the ball?
