NRL Fantasy 2019 Part 40

Ponga for prez wrote:I’m thinking Morgan and rava out, can pair dearden With anyone under 753k, thoughts?

Rest of my mob is solid (with no injuries) so looking to restart some cash gen

Brown > Lomax/Herbert/Dearden
Rava > Waddell

Not sure how dearden will go to be honest, if he even gets the nod. Milford has been doing all the kicking, all the running, all the ball playing. Surely they won't just drastically change things to run around Dearden? I see him just slotting in and doing his job.

He's going well but not a gun. He's young and will be a gun of the future. There's a bit of Fantasy owner bias here. If Green is fit, him and Niko will be stronger. But would hate to see CHT and Niko paired up. Would rather have CHT in by himself.

No bias, I could care less if i have to trade him, he has made riches for me already.

Warriors in my view would be silly to drop CHT for an under-performing Bronco in Nikorima.

Im with Shan, surely he replaces Green or Green is LT injured.

He isn't out of his depth, they aren't getting massacred every week. I'm leaning towards it's probably an issue with Green more than anything else.

This could have some depth behind it. Greens "Niggling Hamstring" has kept him out of 3 games now, even after being given the green light last week. Could either be a lot worse or SK doesn't see Green there anymore.

Manly think it’s 4-6 weeks out for DCE. But hope to a have an exact answer later today. @9NewsSyd

Nrl.com reports that Niko is effectively a free agent as next year at the Broncos is in his favour.

Isaac Moses pushing Niko to Warriors quickly to ramp up Mitch Moses to Brisbane rumours, to get the Eels to fork out for him asap.

SO what do the eels get back.

WHy would the eels do that.

What do you mean?

I meant that Eels will re-sign Moses, but Broncos would be used to drive up his price.

Note, all a bit tongue in cheek.

The Broncos can’t afford to pay Moses so the Eels won’t fall into that trap.

If they're going to pay big money it has to be alongside Green. Don't understand why SK doesn't just play both rookies. CHT is comfortable so could easily maintain the role. But it also does make sense if Green is out long term to bring in another half. Just don't think a Niko CHT is any good tbh. Would rather CHT and AK every day of the week

I think this is the first week I am not making any pre-TLT trades. So no trades will be done on my end until tomorrow afternoon.

Is 900k the unlucky number? Each player that's cracked 900k has dipped back down pretty much straight away.

DCE
Cook

It's Monday morning, I can't think about cause and effect. Too complicated.

Same two locked in Rabs.

I'm looking at exactly the same. Great minds etc

Why Kikau? What do you expect score wise, or is it purely for round 12?

Kikau is a gun, well he is a bit sink or swim, but we all know what we is capable of. Panthers will hit their straps soon...

I feel like going BIG in round 12 and hanging on

Kikau hasn't merited a trade-in for me yet. Two scores over 50 (50, 75)

The 50 included a try and 6 TB's

The 75 included a try and 10 TB's with 2 linebreaks.

Kikau is that type of player that can rack up 5+ TB's and a LB pretty much every game but he has gone 39, 50, 25 and 75 and looked a little underwhelming. Mind you, he is pretty cheap but he is also at around the same price in which he peaked last year for an average of 45 (don't see him bettering this as he does have that low floor.)

Also the way his knee is strapped I look at him every time he runs and cringe because I just feel like his ACL is going to go any time.

I still can't work out what to make of the Panthers. They've shown some improvement but I probably wouldn't want Kikau unless I felt like they were going to start gunning it. I know that doesn't necessarily mean better scores for Kikau, but the more chances he has of running over tired halves, the better.

Thoughts on these trades (Cartwright will move into 2RF)
(1) Lawrie + Garner to Waddell + Munster (or any gun HLF or RTS)
(2) Garner + Garrick to Cleary + Lomax

Team after lockout (71k left)
Cook
Fifita Tolman
Arrow Murray Garner
Morgan Cartwright
Bateman Nikora
Tedesco Ponga CNK

Mahoney Rein Lawrie Haas
CHT Whitbread Xerri Garrick

That banner looks awesome

Wish it was a player I owned though
