NRL Fantasy 2019 Part 44

Ponga Yeo the Mann wrote:Alright I might get in on the action..

Team is:

Rein
Fifi Tolman
Murray Arrow Kapow
Morgan Pearce
Nikora Xerri
CNK Hughes Ponga

Mahoney Haas Lawrie Garner

Carty CHT Bateman Monty Burns

Plan for this week is the angry englishman to farah, Garner to lawrie to give me WFB and centre cover and a keeper. This lets me not lose money on garner if he goes poorly this week with an even further reduced role, and also do unspeakable things with my halves and centres this week

Next week CHT with the bank directly to Lolo and then sit tight on that squad (bar obvious cows) until lawrie and carty are maxed out to gun/cow those 2 and use the change for hughes and morgan upgrades

Anyone see better options? I tend to get some solid tunnel vision, so this forum helps a lot with that

Garner to who? You already have Lawrie.

Yep. L's and flashes of red and white going different directions. What day is it again?

My thinking exactly

Could consider RTS instead of Farah and then maybe Staggs as a slightly different option - gives you the cover at the back and flexibility of another gun wfb to let you move Ponga/Hughes into the halves if you need it.

Morgan became Cleary for me a couple weeks back. Cleary needs to re-find his running game and add some more kicking. Can easily be a 53+ avg half. Panthers are sure to hit a purple patch so hopefully Cleary can hit one too.

Great point

I think its a matter of time before we see Cleary do what Pearce has done in the last couple of weeks. For a team going as dreadful as the panthers I think Cleary has still been scoring well. 

As a Morgan owner myself, should I worry about Cleary missing games over origin or just say stuff it and grab him? Already have Reynolds...

With Luke named on an extended bench and spending all of Wednesday's field session playing with the reserve-grade group, Nathaniel Roache is set to start at hooker with Karl Lawton joining the interchange.
Tuivasa-Sheck said while news of Luke's demotion came as a shock, he backed the decision by Kearney.
"Yeah it was a surprise, but that's the plan we are going off this weekend and coach has made the call," Tuivasa-Sheck said.
"[Issac] has been good, he trained really well [this week].
"It's always tough to go back to the [Canterbury] Cup side. But Issac is a professional, he'll take it in for a bit but then he will be on to his next job and go out and perform well for the cup side."
Meanwhile despite neither having kicked a goal at NRL level before, the goalkicking responsibilities for Saturday's match look set to fall to either Nikorima or rookie centre Patrick Herbert.
The pair both kicked at the end of Wednesday's training session, while Tohu Harris all but ruled himself out as a candidate.
"If you ask [Kodi], he's said he's going to be kicking for goal, so he's not short on confidence," Kearney said.
"[But] Patrick is a pretty capable goalkicker, so we will see what happens."

Seem as though Kodi thinks he is kicking goals. Also seems like Luke will not come back. RTS even sounds like he has accepted Luke's demotion.

My dad has already booked his ticket to Madrid (they were already planning on being back there at the time, he isn't travelling from Aus for it)

He had access to a ticket for the 2005 final in Istanbul, but ended up not taking it because it was going to require insane logistics to physically get to the game from Sydney

After that result he went to Athens in 2007 without a ticket hoping to scalp one, but missed out.

Hope he manages to get himself a ticket this time (and a good result)
