NRL Fantasy 2019 Part 17

They were down Sele early on though. Hard to gauge what planned mins would have been

No because Boyd put in a stellar performance

Haha boyd needs to be punted but Bird or Isaako would sooner replace him at fb. Milford is going nowhere. It wont surprise me to see Niko dropped to bench eventually.

Yeah definitely, I edited that in afterwards. It doesn't help that Kikau isn't back in either. But both Props played more minutes, Tamou by 50%, RCG by 25%. Might be bigger roles for them. Too risky though I guess.

I'll prob go for Host.

I think I am actually happy with Holland tanking. If he had hit 40+ or I had selected Capewell instead, I would not want to trade and bring in Bateman. I still believe Holland will be a centre gun, but now his 25 gives me the perfect excuse to trade to Bateman who looks like will be at a tier higher than even the other guns at seasons end (A CTR SuperGun!). And for that, I thank Holland for his 25 which makes the decision easy.

I am the master of cognitive dissonance.

Napa to Burr? or is burr going to be moved to bench ?

Alright, can I ask for advice? Would any of you trade here?

Nah mate, that is just trading for tradings sake. None of those players deserve to be moved on.

The concern with Host was that when Korbin Sims came back, Friz might go back to an edge and Host to the bench or out of the team altogether. However with the injury, Host should have the spot locked up at least until he returns. His only competition right now is Luciano Leilua who he already beat to a starting spot in the first place.

This is my thinking. My main reason not to start with Host was job security but if Friz is out a while he has that. Lawrie does have that negative BE though.

My poor scorers were guys you don't trade after 1 bad game (DCE, Edwards, Arrow to an extent), and I can't move Garrick out without double trading.

TPJ is a guy i'm iffy on, but he should get big minutes this week.

Could possibly trade Garrick/Sivo to any cow that may pop up this week but thats about it. I dont think i can get Bateman in

As a Warriors fan, I want Blair in the Prop rotation, Papali'i to 2RF, and Tevaga on the bench, Burr to start at Lock, sub, then come on at 2RF.

That's definitely not what will happen though. Blair and Papali'i will play Lock and 2RF. Tevaga will spell whoever is Lock. Burr will likely spell Tevaga or the 2RF at the 60min mark. Best case scenario is if the last game showed Kearney that he deserves the start over Papali'i which I doubt because he loves Baby Papi and Jazz too much. Burr might also see some extra minutes from the bench if Tevaga moves to Hooker to spell Roache but that should only be for another week.

Lawrie, Bird, TMM, Egan, Burns, Roache, Staggs, Mikaele rank them?

Egan unlikely to be worth it. Katoa coming back is still first choice for Cleary meaning Egan moves to bench and plays a similar role to Luai. Roache also very temporary until Luke comes back.

TMM, Bird and Lawrie are where I would look.

Cheers. Agree. I am usually good at holding firm after week 1, with mixed results in the past.

Pacey's Best wrote:Trying to work out if Thomas Mikaele is worth picking up. Surprised Matty Eisenhuth missed the 17 and I suppose could come in any time. Looks a good player though but also when Chris Lawrence is supposedly due back round 5, can he keep his spot then???

Chris Lawrence out for half the year i thought? 3-4 months?

Was all locked in on Bateman & Lawrie ($66k ITB), but now you guys have me considering changing this to Bateman & Host ($122k ITB).

Convince me I'm wrong to go with Host over Lawrie...

Can't answer the Mikaele question with the Huth but Lawrence won't be back any time soon. 3+ months recovery for Lawrence

Didn't know Lawrence was out that long. Saw Zero Tackle who says back in round 5, but now looked at other casualty wards who says mid-season or indefinite. Thanks for that mate.

I'm certainly not advocating for Host. Just want all the info before trading.

I want to get Bateman in. If he can score 60+ on a wet track, while not looking gassed once, imagine a dry track.

I just can't find a way to fit him in
Cook
Fifi Tolman
Arrow Murray Gillett
Morgan Keighran
Burns Holland
Edwards CNK Hughes

Mahoney Garner Capewell Nikora

Sivo Brown Rava Garrick

94K

Trade outs in mind are Garrick/Edwards/Sivo

Thinking of keeping Sivo and giving him a chance. I want Bateman, Moylan, Bird.

should I pick up chricton now that he is cheap
