NRL Fantasy 2019 Part 29

I got Moses in last week. Was sick of having to rely on the Keighran/Brown roulette. It's left me a teensy bit short of cash and that 30 last week wasn't exactly inspiring but otherwise it's turned out to be a decent move getting him in.

Very nice bro well done. You should hit 900 easily.

Lane -> Moses, DBrown -> Okunbor or CHT.

Moses with Salmon there is a bona fide GUN half, he has to do all the kicking and he will kill it. Even with Brown there he was going well enough.

Gutho was actually the main beneficiary of kicking meters. He got about 100m extra compared with earlier games.

The guy currently running in 2nd is on track for over 900 this week, it includes a -2 from Oates, thats gotta hurt.

I remember in 2012 or 2013, in the first or second round a bloke with only 16 scoring players won the weekly!

834 with ravioli to go. He’s due for a hat trick.

Already looking forward to next round.
Macca to Moses - with brown out, looks like he’s a Morgan but in a winning team
Sivo to Teddy - Jenno just hogs the ball, can’t see sivo being a great fantasy player

Rein
Fifita Taupau
Arrow Murray Gillett
Morgan Moses
Nikora Bateman
CNK Teddy Rava

Mahoney Garner Host Cartwright
Xerri Kapoo Bird Burns (for looping purposes)

Your team is very close to mine. Just a few differences. Already have Moses, and trying to work out what to do with $400k cash sitting there, left over from this week.

Not sure whether I upgrade my WFBs, (Teddy/Ponga/both), or I can upgrade my 2 weaker bench spots that are making money for a while still from 30-40 points per week each (B Smith, Lawrie) to 50-60 points per week each (AFB/Twal/Crichton), or bring in CHT and just do 1 big upgrade this week, then 2 next week.

It was probably bought up earlier in the thread but was CNK denied some LBA and TA points for that last Rapana try? I mean I'll concede that he played little part in it as that was all strength and power from Rapana but his offload led to Rapana breaking through the line and planting it down. They'd probably give it on another day.

All of a sudden, my smugness about everyone struggling to field a team with their 2 cheap halves comes back to bite me. I land from my 15hr flight to Dallas, check my team, and SJ has a red dot!?!? What the actual feck. I'll be lucky to crack 800 this week. F.M.L.

781 with Tolman and Hughes remaining. 860-870 would be good. Is this par?
Hopefully Tolman makes 55 tackles and Hughes scores a double. Makes the Knights, dragons game quite boring, except for Sele’s 46 to come into my score

787 with Tolman and Ravalawa to go.

If i can scratch together 850 ill be happy for this week.

i have both Host and Lawrie on my emergency bench and Tolman on my starting side. but i can only get points for one of them. unfortunately i only looped Gillett/Lawrie because i wasnt sure if i could trust Gillett after the last few weeks. Im gonna take Gilletts score. I dont expect Lawrie to get 53. But now im stuck with Garners score because i didnt even consider him flopping like he did.


I could still change my line up. I wouldnt play Host but now im wondering if Lawrie would be a better pick over Tolman considering the team matchups. Well got all day to decide.

Tough mate.  I won't be getting anywhere near 800 dude.

I need 65 from Lawrie and Rava to hit 800.  I am having a shocking year.

Tempted to trade Mahoney back in for Macca.

Need a gun WFB. Macca will have to make way for me too.

Thinking Macca and Host to Teddy and Haas/Xerri

Or Gutherson if you can't afford Tedesco

Just about that time of the year to check in on Round 12 first bye round players I think are worth owning not just for one week.

Worth a quick count of how many you have of these... (and... any I’m missing?)

Mahoney
Rein
JMK

Taupau
James
Surgess
Tolman

Murray
Kikau
CHN
Cartwright LOL

DCE (origin?)
Morgan (Clifford maybe if Morgo origin)
Cleary (origin?)
ARey
Moses
Lewis

Bateman
Burns
Hampton maybe if fills in a more important role
Holland LOL

Lost the will to get in involved with WFB... field as many Kahu, Garrick, Sivos as you still have left in your squad to go with CNK & Burns. Maybe Guth I guess

2RF feels like the biggest problem area so non Australian international DPPs in Bateman, Burgess and Taupau will help a lot

Has Souths/Manly been updated...?


Edit: Reason I ask is because A-Rey is still missing goal kicking points. I mentioned it yesterday but thought they would be in by now...

Looking good, have 4 from that list, including Carty, and Morgan who I expect will be playing origin.

He's so versatile. Great kick returns
