NRL Fantasy 2019 Part 37

Yeah just noticed the round 12 thing. Not a bad option I suppose if he can score some more 30's.

Watson will settle into 5/8 now and Pearce will dominate kick metres with knights surely having an upturn in form soon

Moses scares me. Cleary the safer pick but one less game in comparison to Moses assuming Kleary is the origin halves

Moses is the heart attack up and down option. Probably bad for H2H but ok for overall in the end.

At the end of this I'm no closer to deciding..

I'm the same as I'm selling L. Lewis & trying to decide who to buy between Tedesco (b/e 62 v dragons h), Cleary (b/e 33 v souths h), or Moses (b/e 16 v knights a) is very hard.

I know you shouldn’t let a personal dislike of someone get in the way of fantasy, however, Moses is a knob. He is also related to Ben Elias so that makes him an even bigger knob.
Cleary is a gun, in a good side that is under performing but have to come good soon.
Cleary for me.

Do agree with this. He’s a little shithouse

I agree re Pearce but I think he is less risky than Moses given the histories we have for both and at more than 100k discount

I'm leaning towards gambling on him before the ride turns. saves me the carty CHT headache each week

He's far less of a risk than someone gambling on Watson who may be out of the side at any point, and comes at a bigger discount from his true price IMO

Another question may be is it smarter to have ponga as a halves keeper and get RTS, teddy and TTurbo as the end game WFB? Making a move for Pearce or Cleary a bit redundant. Or perhaps Ponga will become the perfect bench player at that point?

You were unlucky with cogger ruining Wally for you mate!

Cleary beats tedesco pretty easily in that equation for me with BE and both plain origin. Unless you have a hole in your WFB. Moses is the gamble, live by the sword, die by the sword and as you're picking a keeper half essentially the BE shouldn't sway you too much. Cleary for me

Can someone give me a rundown on Whitbread re JS and prospects? Who do we think benefits the most from James' injury?

I need to get my cash generation going again so considering him and Terri for double cow if I decide to wait a week on a half

Will he not drop out when Wallace returns? Seems a big risk. I may have already talked myself out of it..

Assuming Dylan Brown comes back before round 12, what do you think he'll do to Moses scoring?

Is there some news to suggest that he's coming back?

I was keen on Whitbread but would rather see how they line up with Wallace back but a negative BE makes it hard not to pull the trigger

You would think Wallace into 8, Boyd bench and one of King and Whitbread misses out

Didn't someone post earlier that Fotuaika aka Mofo was facing some sort of suspension.

mattnz mentioned it but I can't find any details myself

Apologies for reacting the way I did yesterday
The circle jerk I was referring to was the downvote one going on, regardless of them meaning nothing I still took the 'poll' to heart
Anyways I thought I was helping with regards to the fanhub 'error' but I guess not, so won't discuss it further so we can move on.

Will get back to talking footy

Glad you're still here, booze

Heard a rumour Mofo got in trouble this week and will be stood down for this game, which you would assume King or Whitbread are elevated. This week really bides as a battle for a bench spot between King and Whitbread; however, last week seems Hipgrave was dropped for King and Whitbread so possible Hipgrave (who seems out of flavour) is only in as cover. All i know is he has played big minutes at lock and prop in the ISC and is averaging 50fpt there. With Mofo and Boyd not massive minute takers there is some minutes up for grabs and with a negative BE I am happy to take the gamble on him this week hoping for a 40+ and decent price rise and hope of winning a 40+ minute spot on the bench.

Will Whitebread be another Lawrie/Burr where people keep putting off because of rotation uncertainty?

Personally I think he's worth a gamble.

In other news, every now and then my bad eyes read "pain" as "pam" so I'm going to call him pam from now on.

Hipgrave missed last week with injury. I don't htink he's out of favour, Brennan really seems to love him.

He played ISC though? Mustn't of wanted to risk him at the big level. Anyway, I'm happy to take the gamble on Whitbread if I am also planning on saving a trade. I hope he comes into the starting side or at least does enough to keep a bench spot.

Does Bird and Xerri mark each other this week?
