NRL Fantasy 2019 Part 42

Ok ok ok so hear me out, that big ass pic gave me an idea (no, not that kind ). Do I take Dearden's 35 or play Xerri?

Just kidding, what a turnaround for centres this season. Halves and Winger/ Fullbacks is much more trickier at this stage ( how long will CNK's knee hold out ).

Haha, yeah, crazy! Centres have just been a necessary evil over the last decade of playing the game. Similar to the dreaded mid-ranger. Quite a few seasons we've played you would never pick a mid ranger "with potential" and warn everyone else not to as well; it was Cows or Guns, and then fill in the blanks with the best of the rest that you could scratch out.

He'll keep his spot for a while.

Seibold said in the post game interview that Dearden is the best half they have... at the moment.

Hard one, I can take deardon to roll the dice on Lomax, Xerri or Sivo. I am also waiting on final manly list to see if any Waddell news.

If Garner starts against the Chooks there will be some considerable soul searching but you have to pull the pin sometimes.

I doubt there's a clear-cut answer to this one, but Xerri against Melbourne, I'd probably just take the 35, personally. Tough call, though.

Same boat here

Thinking of playing xerri. If he has a quiet game he should still get 25 - 35. A good game and he gets 45 +. Decent gamble to make i reckon.

Thanks for the input guys.

I didn't even consider the option til I saw that jiggery pokery post. It's not even really a loop, it's more of a...bench manipulation haha.

I'm thinking it's worth the punt on Xerri though but I already know it's going to bother me all day

Stew is overwhelmed with coincidence. Currently working on a three way collaboration between Cardi B, Stew, and Troy Cassar-Daly.

After that happens, we were also hoping to write a song together...

Really struggling to come up with a catchy name. Currently running with:
Cardi B, Stew and Troy Cassar-Daly.

Banking some trades this round by the looks of it unless there is word waddell starts before the panthers game locks out tomorrow

To think I had a choice 2 weeks ago C. Walker v Gutherson & I went Gutherson lol.

Wolfie, you are a good fantasy football manager and you will probably finish above me this season but your process of doing trades is painful.

You present so many scenarios with your trades that you are bound to be unhappy or disappointed with the outcomes no matter what happens. We have spoken about this before.

Stick with what your gut tells you first up. I hope you take this advice  in the spirit it was given.

Thanks Trajan, I'm not taking any offense and will take it on board.  I don't think theres any chance I finish above you either, I've never been THAT good a player and I'm not sure why.  This year is no exception. I guess I'm an indecisive person in life and that would transfer to fantasy.  My gut just seems to be wrong too so sometimes you just feel lost on which way to go.  I'm certainly not alone though with the options people throw around.  

My gut was to get Mahoney back in.  I think he can be a season long keeper.  Whether us Macca traders were somewhat nieve to think he wouldn't bounce back, I don't know but considering quite a few people jumped off of I take comfort in that or it's all of us judt influenceing each other.

Well done on keeping Bird.  I kept Garner mate and don't know why.  I do rate him and will give him one more chance.

Re Dearden. Did you hear Tallis on Matty Johns show say the Broncos forwards should be ashamed because an 18 year old debutant played tougher than them.

Half way there lads. Trade Macca and he goes boom, now just Garner to do the same.

i've softened on looping but wow that's a gross way to do it, i need a break from the forum

If you need a break from this forum after one off looping post then please dont go to Facebook fantasy forums otherwise you will plead insanity for a murder you didn't commit.

Bird & Carty are the two biggest regrets I have so far this season.

Surgess on 40? The way commentators were talking about him I thought he would have got a 55+ with his try. Looking at the stats Tatola and Turgess did lots better this game but were hardly mentioned.
