NRL Fantasy 2019 Part 13

Trajan wrote:The Sydney Morning Herald has Wayne Bennett saying he wants more kicking from Cook ala Cameron Smith like kicking. Thats the final straw for me. I had McCollough and Friend but have bit the bullet and now have Cook and Radley for cover. The big C goes from Fifita to Cook and I will stop worrying about my captain's choice.
I do not have any Manly ( the Des effect ) or Penrith ( possible low morale ) in my squad.

Not saying it's necessarily a poor call but it's fairly drastic off the back of a news article.

I'd stick to what you had been thinking.

As I edge ever closer to owning Napa, looking more at his stats

Prior to his first shoulder charge incident he was averaging a somewhat respectable 32 (for his current price at least)
For the rest of the season he averaged 15.5 - his highest score was 21.

Was it struggles with his technique that led to the drop in output? And importantly has he got  himself sorted over the off-season?

Basically my last few positions will be something like

Friend + Cleary + Napa (would play Napa or Keighran as scoring 17)
or
Radley + Lane + Ofahengaue (all in scoring 17)

I could also go Cleary + Friend + any other cheap player (if not FRF then will have no FRF cover)

I think this is basically the last decision for my team (playing CNK which is a slight concern, but hoping it works out OK)

Friend, Cleary and Napa IMO.

I've gone similar I guess in Macca, Pearce and Napa (unless you have them too).

Napa just too cheap but I do feel like the rest of the pack will play big mins and he may only get around half a game.

I was on Napa until i researched on mtb's handy dandy website, last year he averaged just over 28 in games where he played over 40 minutes, couldn't drop him quick enough

I hear what you are saying but Cook does look like he will kick more even if Reynolds is playing and I don't trust Fifita entirely with the captaincy. Plus the trades needed to get Cook in later on. Each to his own, I will
probably be wrong again and thanks for your feedback Oz.

Think this could be my last ask before lockout. Would you rather:
a) McCullough + Crichton
or
b) Cook + Ofahengaue

For all the lurkers and those who need some help getting started or just left pre season planning a tad late. May I present the peak of the forums knowledge, the 2019 Fantasy Fanatics celebrity team / AKA the cookie cutter template.



This team was born due to the combination of over 1000 community votes, a stress test through a patented formula by our resident expert Milchy, a crazy idea from some great early pre-season chat and some recognition from the creators of NRL Fantasy.

Feel free to join us in the forum dedicated chat thread where we will be following this teams journey throughout the season on its way to overall glory. I'll try not to spam this group anymore now that we are underway. There will be team writeups and weekly community trade/captain decisions so come help us and prove the fanatics minds are the strongest!

Thanks again to everyone who participated in setting this up and good luck to everyone for the coming season!

That's... better than my team. Get the trades right and it should finish high.

No love for Farah?

A) Arrow - Gavet
B) Matterson + Glasby/bunty/Nuikore or someone else

Currently have only 3 different to the forum team..

All this procrastinating has me downgrading Taupau to Tolman, upgrading Mahoney to Friend, sidegrading Lane to Gillet and upgrading CNK to Watson

Next thing i know my team is full of midrangers haha
The sad thing is I went through all the stats to disprove my swaps and it just looks better and more rounded...... Bring on lockout...

McCullough
Fifita Tolman
Arrow Murray Gillett
Morgan Brown
Holland Capewell
Edwards Hughes Watson

Friend Garner Nikora Keighran

Sivo Ravalawa Garrick 212k player

Holy this is crazy similar to my 'current' team haha.

For those of us that thought Corey Waddell had done enough - looking like a good downgrade option week 5/6 potentially.

NRL PHYSIO‏ @nrlphysio · 19h19 hours ago  

Young Sea Eagles forward Corey Waddell has a fractured rib and is expected to miss 4-6 weeks. Most require that recovery timeframe, although some minor rib fractures allow a return in as little as 2 weeks in the NRL

Nice work Cap!

We saw him scoring 60 in 60 minutes in the trials just by being a tackle bot.

Apparently Mahoney actually was credited for the reserve hooker stats who came on and also wore 9.

I would say his likely score would have been around 40.

Ok finally finished had 384k left last night just got LOLO 118k left

My take on skim reading the last few pages.

-Don't panic, you have spent hours picking a team. Just go with it and don't make last minute changes. Make sure you save your team and have a Captain and Vice Captain.
-Holland will be fine and until he's not stick with him.
-Burr is first cab off the rank in regards to Ipap/Blair/Harris being injured. With Ipap suspension and Blair coming back from injury he will be worth it.
Roache starting with Tevaga on bench, I see Burr being part of the prop rotation even when Luke starts.

Was happy with team and realised wanted Arrow. Dropped Lane and Kahu for Arrow and Sivo. Good move?
