NRL Fantasy 2019 Part 45

Honey Badger wrote:Is Dearden normally a dominant kicker in the lower grades? Milf is on my watch list now that he is paired with a rookie half

No, not really, hadn't done too much kicking in Q Cup - Sam Scarlett is the dominant half at Wynnum, and Dearden has only played a handful of games. He was picked in the qld residents side this week though, so he is having a good year.

No fantasy relevant but tigers shopping Russell Packer.

NRL star Dylan Walker has denied pulling his fiancee's ponytail and causing her to fall down on a concrete driveway with a baby in her arms, instead claiming he simply "touched her shoulder ... then she fell".

Does his wife play soccer?

No but she’s smoking hot

Is sagyaro signed with the Broncos or is that no good? If that is the case id drop Turps

Packer's still got the shits with Ivan and hasn't got over him leaving by the looks of things

Rookie hooker Jake Turpin is in doubt with a quad strain but is expected to play. If ruled out Corey Paix would make his NRL debut playing out of position at dummy-half. Staggs will pick up goal kicking duties in Isaako’s absence.

Oh shit! haha.

Related, but just noticed Segeyaro has played 7 80 minute games for Newton this season, so while not the same quality of comp, his match fitness should be reasonable. Probably better than Turpins..

Just do what I do and pass an emoticon off as a GIF.

What I think too. McQueen also being shopped. Might explain him suddenly playing 80 minutes out of nowhere

Is Garner a hold then, or unlikely to change much

Imo I wouldn't hold.

I’d be interested to see what everyone’s ranking goal is. Is there a way we can add that in under our avatars? That way everyone can kinda gauge where everyone wants to kinda finish

With Leilua ruled out for the season does Oldfield becomes a cow? Any thoughts on his job security and yes he plays Rnd 12 if he is still in the team.

I know his last year stats aren't flash but playing in center might improve it?

Edit: Just checked 3/9 games were in the Centre last year with scores of 16, 44 & 9.

Cheers WT2K

Lads are there any must have underpriced guns sitting in the 600 - 700k range that im not seeing?
If not ill have to grab a cow or nothing at all.

His stats playing centre briefly last year are dismal. Worth waiting a game or two at least to see how he goes.

In his 7 games with 80 mins last year (4 at wing and 3 at CTR) where he didn't score a try his scores were 15, 13, 16 and 9 (latter 2 at CTR).

The other 3 games when he scored were 30 (1 try), 58 (3 tries), 44 (2 tries)

Probably a pass unless he shows some great form with good base stats

The Raiders can always play Cotric centre with Simonssen coming onto the wing.

Also they have a highly rated kid called Kris who could come in.
