NRL Fantasy 2019 Part 22

PSA: if you haven't been up to date with all the posts and if you are wondering if a certain player is a sell or buy and isn't sure if this has been asked before then you can use the search option (next to FAQ) on top.

For example, search for "Lawrie" will bring in 385 recent posts about him with the latest ones showing first.

Martin, who was viewed as a shining light in an otherwise dire 2018, was demoted to the Canterbury Cup to start the season but his omission for two consecutive weeks raised eyebrows. There had been some concerns over Martin’s fitness and his defence but two commendable performances in the lower grades has earned him a recall.

The back-rower will return on an edge in place of Raymond Faitala-Mariner who has been dumped to the reserves.

Nick Meaney will make his Bulldogs debut at fullback with Will Hopoate shifting to centre at the expense of Marcelo Montoya.

Winger Jayden Okunbor is in line to make his NRL debut. The Milperra Colts junior is expected to replace new recruit Christian Crichton on the left edge.

I could trade him in for Host/Burr/Ravalawa/Sivo.

One of those is probably going to be my 17th man so it'd be good to have a reliable player there.

Alternatively I could spend a bit more and get Junior Paulo or Sironen.

wow, was RFM really the issue?

If Xerri is named this week, half hoping that Sivo is dropped so I can loop him instead.

What is the issue ? I have luckily avoided watching both their games so far ,so I have no clue what they are lacking other than an uninspiring roster.

I don't know how the Dogs drop half their team but Sue survives.

Did you have Xerri from the start?














Answer helps with a drinking game.

Watching them this week, they just looked confused.

Like they were waiting for miracle plays or something to happen. No structure or plan as far as i could tell.

Just looked completely rubbish.

If it wasnt for him on the Smith try i doubt they get it. His movement had the defence in all sorts

My balls are tingling and that can only mean one thing. Either Frizell is using his magic powers to steal my balls, or it means there will be a banner this weekend.

Yeah - MTVB sent the Blonde to the wrong bloke

Shit, sorry, just bumped the thumb down on my phone when aiming for the thumb up. Apologies, and thanks for the good info.

I don't think RFM was really their issue, but he might provide better impact from the bench and give their side a bit better balance. They needed to get Martin into the side.

The odd thing was though, the most dangerous they looked was between Foran and RFM on the right.

is napa to burns inteligent?

Called it when he signed. Kahu wouldn't last a month at fullback. Named at centre. Clifford into halves.

Key TLT info
Lawrie holds #13, Sims on bench
TTurbo returns, Elliott dropped and Garrick stays
TMM FB, Clifford 5/8 (impact on Morgan)
Okunbur, Meaney named (Holland still on left), CHN starts, Martin bench
Friend and Cronk back, Crichton on bench
