NRL Fantasy 2019 Part 40

Fortitude wrote:This week, I’m tossing up who I trade out from the following. Morgan, cnk, lawrie, Garner. Not even sure who I want to bring in. Probably one of Tedesco, Taupau or ARey/Cleary. Would need to double trade and probably bring in a red dot.

Seems like the perfect situation to not trade. Ranked in top 1000 with a team that looks a lot like everyone else’s with no holes to plug.

None of them are sells imo but Morgan probably goes first, followed by Garner, then Lawrie. CNK plays 12 so is at least a hold til then. Teddy has a high BE so not urgent but nothing wrong with flicking Morgan or Garner for him. Save trades?

Radley averages 37 as a 80min hooker this year

True. But 80 minutes is 80 minutes

Not sure on Waddell, sounds like his minutes were inflated due to injury.

Do we expect white bread to continue getting minutes from this week? Now that Wallace is due back?

Sounds like I’m in a similar situation. Getting Cleary for Morgan and Garrick sounds okay, but it really depends on how it impacts the rest of your team. Pros and cons list it. If it
Means you have to play Lomax, I’d be cautious. If lomax is just going to chill out and hopefully make cash, then maybe not a bad idea?

I’ve been tossing up Cleary v ARey and the SOO/bye conundrum. Given ARey is due an injury I’d be willing to bet Cleary plays more games through season.

Nah Lomax won't be in my team, it's simply gaining 70k my swapping WFB cover players in my EMG (I'm probably going to bring back Burns if he back by R12 if possible). Tempted to get rid of Garner first over Morgan as well if I get Cleary, with Cowboys v Titans and Lolo possibly back which should positively impact Morgan

Yep, save trades seems the smartest option. Only banked one so far.

I've only banked 2 so far and will double trade this week and next. I think my plan here is to just buy keepers regardless of byes purely because I'd rather pick keepers at a discount than post rd 12 at a premium. Haven't done the maths but I feel as long as I don't buy Rd 16 players now and sell them before hand I should be okay.

I'd be a fool to disagree with you, but unfortunately for Radley, the designated time for an NRL match is considerably less than what he requires to be anything other than something.

Regularly? I doubt it. Manly finished the game with 14 fit players yesterday.

But Waddell looks like a quality player.

I keep saying that though aye. He's played a few at HK with Friend out and I thought he might go well.. didn't.

80 mins at HK for 33, 38 and 42. 63 mins for 18.

Crap at LK both weeks.

Scored a try off the bench for his only 50+.

Time to go

Same boat here, started with Radley and has been given every possible to look any good at all. Fucked up right here, a few of my starters have lossed cash since R1, horacious year for me.

As I said he isn't hurting his chanced of making the starting side sooner or later or at least increasing his minutes across the park. Not just fantasy wise but I now understand why he was the next best thing coming through Panthers before his injury.

If Nikorima ends up moving to NZ surely that means CHT would be a GOOOONNNEEE??

sHerbert should be a starter for the Warriors, won't happen, just saying

Well my 2 week ownership of Gutherson will end effective immediately & I'll bring in Tedesco but I'll have to down grade either Garner or Capewell. I like Rinoceroo's suggestion re getting rid of Cook as Fifita seems a much better pick & stick captain but I'm not sure because Cook could go large at any given week. Capewell based on b/e's seems to be the one to miss out (mind you a b/e of 41 isn't exactly out of reach for Capewell) but Garner's hia history makes me doubt him & the fact he only plays 60 minutes unless there's an injury.

Geez Stephen Kearney pisses me off lol play Herbert over Kata, and play AK if Green is out. Absolute spud. I swear any of us here would be better coaches than him.

Kikau and Waddell it is. Lock it in Eddie.

Gillett/Capewell > Taupau/Waddell is tenpting

If Waddells minutes sit within the 40-50 range he averages 40 which should crank out 150k over the next 3 weeks. Anything on top is a bonus.

Taupau is what he is.

Is Brian Smith still there advising him in the background?

Yeah also curious what this means for CHT.

I'm also not so sure id put nikorima ahead of CHT as a player. Given he has played 3 games, you would have to thik he is only going to get better, and he has been playing incredibly well.
