NRL Fantasy 2019 Part 41

Just read on Twitter that this is the first year since 1976 that there has been nobody called Simon in first grade

What to do with that damn McCullough? Upvote A, Downvote B

Option A: Get rid of him for Mahoney this week. Get a little extra cash and another Round 12 scorer.

Option B: Hold the bastard and aim for Smith in a few weeks time. Write off Round 12.

Well, the Raiders do have Simon's son

I reckon Tolman gets decent minutes regardless. I think Pay has figured things out now. Last four games he's played 74 v Storm, 50 v Dragons (was in one stint in a blow out so no point him returning), 70 v Souths, and 68 v NQ.

It looks to me like his standard minutes will be playing the full first half, start of the second then a short final stint at the end if needed. Should average around 65 min I reckon if he keeps that up. Hence his scoring averaging 52 over those last 4 games (57 if you discount the SG blowout).

His historic ppm over the last few years is 0.8 so 65 * 0.8 = 52.

Perfect candidate for trading out once he plays his bye round!Will be close to his peak price, getting up around $750k by then!

I had the same thought but just can't help but feel they will now get belted weekly with that backline. Although they've surprised so far. But no DCE on top off no Turbo I think is too much to ask.

Their middle is solid though aye. Good platform for the halves. Even if they get belted the halves (or at least one of them) should out up decent enough numbers.... Matchup v Panthers round 12 is appealing too given they'll be without both starting halves.

This is why I was miffed when they dropped AK because he wasn't the problem really. CHT was more of a solution rather than AK was an issue. They need to kick Blair out and drop Kata (which they finally have). But pisses me off that SK lies about shit. It's embarrassing

Rumor was AK wasn't dropped from his performances rather that he said in a honesty meeting after the Manly lost that some of the senior players (Blair) are not fit enough to play first grade. Senior player (Blair) complained to the coach and AK was dropped. A few people have said the same thing.

Yep, that's the plan!

Was a great pickup and I would not of thought of picking up before round 1 without the thoughts from this forim

Good stuff. Two I'm deciding between.

You can squeeze 15k out of bird this round. The way birdy runs sideways, he marking into keepers/18th territory. Just wished he had WFB DPP

He should (in the sense as it makes sense) get DPP because he plays Lock or Half in most games. Silly NRLF

Wow that's hard... Poor fulla. Thoughts are with him

Yes. These are the stats I need.

Ah, that’s horrible. Best wishes to them and theirs.

Aiite:

A Macca > RTS
B Macca > Waddell (good bank, have to play Lomax)
C Macca > Herbert (bank for 2 guns next week, have to play Lomax)

Hmmmmm

So a couple of choices to make. I asked earlier, but want a couple more of your thoughts on them.

1st Play which one

Thumbs up Lane
Thumbs down Lawrie

2nd play which one

Thumbs up Sivo
Thumbs down CNK

Me too

I assume outs??

Rippin and Tearin wrote:Who takes on DCEs KM and who will be the dominant halve for Manly? One of those guys probably becomes a pretty decent round 12 playing cow despite how shit they've been in last year and this year so far. This season and last they were always playing alongside a dominant experienced half partner right?

Anyone care to guess at how that will unfold?

JS could be an issue I guess...

Would either of the hookers be a better pick up?

Between the 1/2s, I would think LC
