NRL Fantasy 2019 Part 18

I don't think so? Thought Carty played out the game on edge row, Copley centre and the peach in the halves, no?

Most would say no, I'm thinking yes.

I definitely saw Peachey in the centres in the second half, just don't remember how long for. The only other half options they had were Brimson and Carty.

TLT could be interesting too with regards to the Titans. If Rein is on the bench, Peats could play some minutes at lock also.

This. Brennan loves Cartwright and 60 on an edge doesn't seem too much to ask for him. And now that Boyd's there too maybe Arrow won't have as much work to do paritcularly with Mofo coming along in bounds. I'm not doing anything drastic this week, but will be watching closely this week.

I've got Mofo, but will ditch him. Cant see where his mins are going to come from

Haha, I watch nearly all the games including that one. I can see Brennan persisting with it, whether it's a good idea or not. Certainly seemed to work for Cooper and Taumalolo.  

Carty and James are not Cooper and Lolo.

Lucky you added that disclaimer or I'd be telling you to double check your own vaccination schedule

Despite everyone knowing this, he "trained the house down" in pre season and is straight into the Titans side for round 1. I think it will continue.

Goddammit now I'm actually tempted to punt Arrow (and Garrick) for Bateman and Lawrie. First trade is obviously sideways (and on an unproven scorer) but would facilitate Lawrie who could easily make 200k from here.

Surely Arrow is worth a week. Who knows what Roberts going down did to the rotation.

I’m doing the same

Have been playing fantasy a long time and been burnt by Aubbo so many times. So here I am again in 2019 thinking of bringing him into my team for TPeachy (have Bateman and Nikora). Am I drunk and stoopid? Councilling required.

You're drunk and stupid! They have a handy guy called Angus who's got his eye on that spot.

Copley came straight on and Peachey went to halves. I doubt Copley would have been used if there wasn't an injury.

Which means Tyrone's injury is probably irrelevant to the planned rotations. If Cartwright spent time at half then Peachy must have been playing backrow.

Councilling is required

Radley

Without the MTs in the wet, he scores 44. That's 10 above his price and now his BE is only 37. He has enough potential to score 45s. However, that's some decent capital potentially not performing. If you can find someone who will score 50s, priced at least 10 points less then not the worst trade. In the worst case scenario, he's a decent place holder. BTW who cares if he's not as good Murray. We just want players who score well and earn money

Arrow

Not really concerned here. It was a wet game. Most other teams had scores spread across the forward pack. However, if he doesn't crack 50 in 55, not the worst decision to bring someone more consistent in.

Gillett

Tbh I'm gutted I don't have him. Broncos are spread very thin up front. They'll be relying on Gillett. I think 50+ won't be far fetched

It's still one less interchange though, could be that under normal circumstances that would have been used bring Arrow back on. I'm just talking in possibilities as I really want to stay positive with Arrow.

I was going to post this. Copley only used because a back went down. The carty interchange seemed planned.

Think Bateman will handle less "english" conditions? Probably felt right at home in the rain on Sunday.

That said, the Raiders have a bunch of home games to start the season, and by the time they go to Townsville in April it should have cooled down a bit.

Would you then consider Arrow to Gillet this week???

Yeah, that's true actually.

James came back on with 10 to go, and then Mofo with 8 to go. If the game was tight, I'm almost certain that last interchange would of been Arrow anyway.

You can't just blame the wet and wipe the MT's from Radleys score though. He averaged 2.3 last year in 44 minutes its fair to expect that he'll average at least 3.5 this year with the extra minutes without even allowing for him tiring and missing extra's on top of that.
Agree re the other two.

He looked as fit as anyone in that game. I think he'll be fine

That's my hope. I'm just not sure if it's warranted

It’s a shame MoFo doesn’t get the minutes, really tried to justify having him in my initial squad.
