NRL Fantasy 2019 Part 29

Any other Radley owners pulling the pin this  week?

Have Radley, Tavega, and other cows still generating. No idea who to use if I want to pick up another fresh cow. The idea was Tavega would increase his minutes, and I didn't think Radley would just be a dummy half passer all game.

Neither on my round 12 trade targets list. Tough trading week but adios Host.

I’m thinking of bringing teddy in this week but should I be thinking about round 12 already?

Burns survives another week for me so any good news on him will mean I can happily keep him which would be nice

Which one is a more urgent buy, Klemmer or Ponga?

Getting Klemmer means I don't have to play Lawrie every week, plus he has a lower BE

Getting Ponga means I don't have to play one of the CTW cheapies every week but he has a BE of 72 so he can probably wait a week

Could also go for Fonua-Blake or Moses instead of Klem or Ponga by the way

890 taking me to rank 318

Provisional trades are:
Edwards --> Ponga
D. Brown --> CHT/Okunbor/Meaney (all of whom I'll be researching this week)

Max trades used so far. Hopefully I can hold at least 1 next week.

Assuming Gillett takes the lock spot while TPJ is our and I can’t keep Edwards anymore Gillett to CHT and Edwards to Tedesco. Hughes will more than likely go for Ponga next week.
Team as it stands
Cook
Fifi Tolman
Arrow Murray Garner
Morgo CHT
Bird Nikora
Tedesco CNK Hughes
Rein Bateman Sele DBrown ( )
Xerri Rava Sivo Burns

Really need a DCE/Arey/Lewis soon.
Haas could even be a gamble this week. Seibold seems to need someone to stand up and he could be the one getting big minutes off the bench

Can we take a moment to acknowledge Nikora's amazing cash generation in the first 4 weeks of the season. He's gone up 305k in 4 rounds, surely that must be a record?

Incredible stuff.

Depends on your situation.
Notably - how many round 12 you already have? For example if you have Taupau, Surgess, Bateman you’re already in OK shape

Then - how many trades you’ve already used. If you’ve used max every week like me then hardly good time to just keep trading nice to haves when there’s a list of round 12 must haves which are serviceable before and after then

Quality footballer too.

Thanks Milchy

Bloody hell Host to Okunbor only nets me 4k extra. Still I think it's a worthwhile trade. Okunbor going to make cash a lot faster and if there's a ready made cow to replace Host now then why not.

179k in the bank. I'll look at moving someone on like Ravalawa if possible in Round 6 to free up the cash necessary to trade Lawrie or potentially Garner if his fitness is a concern to Ponga.

Hopefully one of Xerri, Okunbor or Tevita prove themselves to be a safe 35-40 point replacement for the interchange.

Wtf.

A-Rey seriously didn't get his goals.

It's the most obvious stat.

Wtf???

Its strange. Try saves and tackle busts, etc can be subjective so we might not always agree with the final stats decision. But it's not like there is a grey area over whether or not a goal has been kicked.

VSDT use the same stats company and managed to get the goals counted too. So how on earth did this crap happen.

I'm sure this will be brought to their attention this week... cue a rollback of everyone's trades tomorrow afternoon so they can fix their mistake

Gets better.

Esan Marsters was awarded -2 points in goal kicking this week.

I know he missed a couple of sitters but taking points away is a bit harsh

I noticed at one stage Reynolds was on -2 for MISSING a goal also. Then he got his second, and it went to 0.

901, up to 41 after last weeks carnage. Similar thoughts to others, will have to look at CHT+Oku/Xerri vs CHT+Teddy/Ponga.

Not a fan of playing Sivo/Rava in my WFB or Carty at half but oh well.

Yeah true true. Good advice mate

I have Murray, burns, tolman, rein, arrow, Bateman, Morgan, Mahoney, lane about to leave my team, brown also possibly leaving my team this week

Tapine and James on mum list of targets in 3 weeks or so when they bottom out. I’ve only saved one trade so far so I need to plan ahead a little as you say

would love to go CHT/Okunbor, but i need Kahu out of my WFB 2 weeks ago so CHT/Teddy it is, got 500k to get Ponga/Crichton in next week, Macca/Gillett/Kahu/Capewell are officially on notice this weekend.

The guy currently in first has put together a really good team:
Farah
Lawrie Surgess
Jurbo Murray Garner
DCE Morgan
Nikora Bateman
Teddy Hughes CNK

Mahoney Rein CHT Ravalawa
Sele Kahu Allan Brown

Starting side is really solid in every position, plus has both Rein and Mahoney as 80 min great value hookers on the bench, already has CHT.

Going to be hard to catch.
