NRL Fantasy 2019 Part 21

Averaged 40 minutes off the bench last season, has got 56 and 60 minutes as starting prop under the new coach. Even accounting for injuries in the 60 minute game, they have a game plan that sees him playing 55 minutes.

He started every game he played in 2017 and 2016. In 2015 he started all but 2 games (anf got over 50 minutes as a starter)

Still never managed better than low 40s.

He is not some up and coming junior prop. I just don't see how playing a few extra minutes is going to make him suddenly a gun. He just got an unusually high score in round 1 which is making people go crazy.

Now everyone give me your logon and password so I can go into your teams and physically trade him out for you.

Kikau's back and playing 80 within a round or two. Ditto Yeo. JFH moves to bigger minute lock than the stand-ins they've had so far.

Kikau will start with limited minutes, will get time to see his final role while getting ongoing price increases and good points/$ for a few more weeks. Would be surprised if he doesn't end up with something in the 50-55 minute range though.

Traded out Kahu>Waddel & Edwards>Teddy

Does anybody know when Stimson is back? KBrom is going well and he's at a good price. Does Stimson go to the bench?

Why is there talk about Tamou now?

Edit- Just saw Raptures post.

I watched Tamou yesterday, it's hard going. He's no excitement machine. I'll hang onto him until he peaks, then hopefully the gap to Taupau isn't too much. For now I'll take his boring 45-50 a week and a little cash.

maybe Macca to Mahoney? same average so far but 170k in the pocket, though there's still something that's putting me off Mahoney.

both games he's looked decidedly 'meh', save for one 20+ point play he pulls out of his arse.

Try leaving your best defensive forward on the park then you silly twat.

62 tackles for 1 missed Tolman in first 2 matches and he’s playing him for half a match.

Not sure whether to just hold now until he comes to his senses or get some cash through a Napa sideways shuffle

Yep, owners have got lucky two weeks in a row now. But as one of those owners, I dread the week when there’s not that one moment that gives him a good score. To be honest, I only picked him up the day Pritchard left the game and would never have taken the punt if I knew he’d be getting such limited minutes. So far it’s going ok, but I don’t like the situation.

I’m hoping Arthurs is only taking him off if/when a game is wrapped up, and if it’s a tight game he’ll play more. As a Mahoney owner and Eels fans I hope this is the case, because I don’t actually see the point in taking him off and playing the rest of the match without a clearly defined hooker. I think the whole team had a turn at dummy half when he went off. Seems really stupid to me.

Is it too late to jump on Lawrie?

I don’t see the need to look to bring keepers like Teddy in so soon. It’s all about cash this early in the season. My advice: Trade Burns in this round

By the way, you have Brown in that team twice so who’s missing?

Keighran I presume, never mind

nice

Moreover he is looking every bit the keeper Holland was supposed to be

Low traffic. Lovely

Will post my 731 right here.

Depends if you think he gets the same minutes from the bench. He's probably best suited to 40. Too slow last game, output was down. Mind you they were getting pumped lol

Any thoughts lads?

Front Row is an area that needs some work. I could get Surgess for little to no bank, Klemmer or Tamou otherwise
