NRL Fantasy 2019 Part 18

Sucked in to them. Never minded loopers before but all the talk in the main thread this year is turning me right off them, especially when half the advice they gave out during the round last week was crap.

I have
Pangai Tolman
Arrow, Lane, Murray

Need to bring in Lolo or Fifita. Which one?
Fifita for Pangai or Lolo for Lane
Leaning toward Lolo to Lane given the Panagi may start with Lodge out.

Anyone?

fantasy aside, i'd like carrigan or mago over fensom though

I think Fensom wins the spot purely for his experience, and I can't really argue with that at the moment.

Barrett screwed around with Taupau's minutes too, this is hardly breaking new ground for him.

If you are thinking of trading him out, I say do it because it'll likely mean he scores big to spite you and that would certainly be very welcome for my team.

Curtis Scott definitely on my radar.

SuA was turd last week.

Wonder if Offa will get more minutes now.

Possibly with Lodge out.

Of those I’d take Fifita. He was massive and Lolo won’t get those attacking stats every week

I'd rather Gillett be protecting one of our halves in defence than Fifita/Su'A

Mago is just a big bopper, not really a best 17 player.

After a fairly generous TLT I'm planning no trades this week. Am I wrong?

It sucks to miss Host/Lawrie/Gillet/Bateman/Bird... but I don't see any desperate needs to fill. $5k ITB

Cook
Fifita Afoa
Murray Arrow Sironen
Cleary Morgan
Holland Nikora
Edwards CNK Ravalawa

Peats Capewell Keighran Garner
Sele Sivo Brown Kahu

definitely not in a fully fit 17, but a big bopper against the cowboys pack is exactly what i'd like (i'd prefer carrigan)
i guess fensom will probably play front row but it's a big ask for flegler being the only out and out prop on the bench

Sele or Mikaele?

I would rate Nikora, Capewell, Bateman, Holland, Bird, Burns all better value CTR options than Scott

Scott may well do OK, but I can't see how he is the best option there this year.

Wait for Penrith final team lists before deciding if possible.

Sele was cleared of a broken arm, but doesn't necessarily mean he is going to play. Might be a late exclusion so keep en eye on late mail and final lists

Burr vs Host vs Sele for final 17 spot? Take in mind I need them to score 180 points so I can catch up to everyone else

If you think Kahu is a better option than Lawrie/Host (even Jack Bird), then hold the trade.

Was anyone else forced to slot Sele in after Hetherington was a late switch to the bench? Thank the fantasy gods I don't have to waste that trade

Why are people assuming Mahoney is 80 minutes now? Salmon is as much of a hooker as Smith is

I feel like Papalii will eventually go back to the starting team so if you didn't have Burr to begin with, I don't see the point in getting him now

Mahoney will be an 80minute hooker once he is capable of playing 80 minutes. Who knows when that will be. Doubt he plays less than 65-70 anyway.
