NRL Fantasy 2019 Part 41

I’m a bit desperate for a half and some cash, how many weeks safe we looking at for;
- Croker
- Flanagan
- Dearden

I’ve gone Morgan>ARey, Lawrie > Waddell

Although, the predictability of whitbred getting benched with Wallace return has me worried afb will do same thing to Waddell

There's no way you can leave Waddell out of the 17 after last week.

Anyone else still having issues with the 'player pool' section on the fantasy site on desktop? The drop down boxes STILL aren't working. It's been fucked since last Friday.

That was my exact reasoning as well. He's been my captain since the start of the season. He's due for a stint of crappy scores. Problem is, I don't know who to put it on now.

The Storm was a slightly different team last season and Fifita might do ok, but I'm putting my money on Master Bateman against the panthers this round

I don't really rate Lomax as a fantasy player, I think Dearden might be able to string some better scores together. 

On second thought Garrick can probably wait another week, Ponga is a must have in your team to stay in touch with the top

Pretty much. I think Ponga is a must-have (already over 50% owned), so he comes in for Morgan. As for selling Garner, I think Waddell is the best guy I can afford for that trade, and he'll make some good money and hopefully last to R12

Yep I think it's time to get rid of him. Not even in reserves. No point holding, he has a low BE but could remain a red dot indefinitely and even if he comes back won't make a tonne of money. I think I'll be getting Lomax.

That order for me. Have Kapow and bringing in SST this week

What I was thinking too. Have added Arey to the list as well. Cheers.

Same thinking on sele and Lomax

In other news, a big shout out to Jordan Kahu who has exceeded his BE every week this year and now finds himself at fullback against the Titans. No slam dunk for a good score the way the Cowboys have been stinking it up, but at this rate he'll still be in my team for round 12!

Some how coaches keep making this stupid decisions though. I’m not playing him in my 17, so not to worried I just want a player to make money, and I can rely on to score 35+ if I need to play them for cover.

Capewell will bounce back.

I do agree, but enough to still make any more decent money?

Yeah fair call.  If he gets another 50, it will definitely head him in the right direction again.  He was awesone the two games before.

Yeah, that’s the reason I’ve been really uncomfortable about trading him out this week. But at the moment he’s my 18th man, and I’m going to need cash next week, so it seems logical. But perhaps Garner even more logical. I wish Tigers played before Sharks in case of late line up changes.

If you have the chance to turn him into a keeper then the trade is worth it. If he keeps on the 45 average before last weeks he'll make an additional 20 - 30K, not much really.

Thoughts on captains?

I'm 50/50 between Ponga vs Warriors and Bateman vs Panthers.

I'm cashing him out for Dreadon or Flanagan, will free up 350 - 400K next week for double gun trade.

wolfking wrote:I wonder if Garner staying on the bench is final?  Potential late switch an hour before?

I'm calling quits on Garner, Wolfie. He is getting injured too often and now not in the run on team.

Garner to Kikau and Bird to Lomax gives me $283K in the war chest for a later Lawrie uprade.

Who would you trade out from Garrick or Whitbread to Lomax to fund Garner to either a gun HLF or Taupau

Looking at my squad this week I'm more comfortable about my HLFs with CHT v NEW and Carty v Cowboys than my 2RF so I'm thinking Whitbread + Garner to Taupau + Lomax which leaves me 0k left.

Taupau genuine keeper and R12 player, surely a no-brainer right?? Even though I just did Rava to Whitbread last week

i'm in the same boat. You are high up in the rankings so Bateman is probably the safe bet, i'm lingering around 1500 so i'm thinking of punting on Ponga to push me up the rankings if he goes big.

Good trades.  Kikau could be a great POD.

I think I have to do the same mate.  Might do the Garner to Waddell and Macca to CS9 trade.

That was my problem in the past, hanging onto to middies for their 35 points and getting nowhere.  Need to be more agressive I thinkto try and increase rankings.  Get all the keepers in now.
