NRL Fantasy 2019 Part 50

Tapine back to the bench!

Reece Robson could mean a 60min mcinnes now?

JFH looks very appealing now that he is named at lock, was going to get Mcclness but with Robbo on the bench probably means that he will only see 60ish minutes.

I'm thinking about that trade myself. He used to be a good scorer but was pretty crap last year. In a better team this year though, he might score better.

If you have Xerri and Lomax though I think you should be set for placeholder centres until Bateman comes back. An extra round 12 player is good but he's too expensive to be a cash cow and probably not going to be a keeper so weigh up how valuable the trade is.

if Mary wasn't such a basket case, i'd have a look at Pearson, rated him when he was at the Broncos, save for his uncanny ability to be able to slip over himself on a dry track in his first couple of games.

Can Hudson Young hold his spot with a 100% fit Tapine?

Im stuck with my trade this week. Its just the one with Tolo coming in for either carty or xerri

Xerri has been ordinary without SJ next to him
Carty doing the whole 2rf/lock rotation isn't getting him much points but plays rd 12

Just don't know who to choose for tolo

History suggests No

In all but one of Tapines matches, Young was on the bench and primarily in a winning side

Expect he will hold it this week but not in couple weeks time. Anyways, surely people only care about next week where raiders will have no papaali so he should be good for usual 40pts in the bye round

I’m bracing myself for Croft demotion, Hughes to 7

CNK at fullback for now will do me

So with Lomax at FB. Who do you play him over

UPVOTE: Xerri
DOWNVOTE: Cartwright
Quote: Neither

P.Momirovski replaces Fonua at CTR

With TLT being pretty brutal for the cows I was kind of looking at I'm looking at Hiroti (246k, BE 5) as extra R12 number + Gagai might be rested after Origin. However those injured are short term around a month (Johnston, Burns, Turner)

If Martin makes it into starting team in updated team lists I might pick him, otherwise maybe Dearden for long term JS but he was a bit underwhelming last week

Probably similar to their first month of footy. McInnes will play some lock.

No one seems too interested on Gideon. Been pushing for an NRL spot for a long time now. Has speed to burn and is built like a brick shit house. Up against Simonnson i think this week.

422k that's why. Also he was accused of biting wasn't he in QLD cup so sounds prone to dumb shit that could get him suspended or sinbinned/sent off

I had him in 2017 I think and he was solid, but I think I recall in his couple of games last year he was a bit of a low effort player (really fast but give up on intercept)

Paparazzi on the bench, Mann on the bench....

No excitement this TLT

He just has to last 2 weeks. Hopefully Tapine plays middle next week for origin, then Young probably moved on week after

I wouldn't say he's a brick shit house. He is fast though. Haven't seen him play for a while but seems like more your JAC wiry fast guy than a tackle busting type. Wait, you're in Townsville right? Have you seen him in ressies lately?

Paul Fucking McGregor. Fuck’s sake. I brought McInnes in last week as a set and forget captain option until I can acquire Cook, and was pretty happy with myself. Now the ball devourer names a hooker on the bench.

So what is the general consensus? You guys reckon McInnes plays 60min, or does he go to lock for a stint?

On one hand I was happy to see the Lomax news, but he’s royally fucked me with this one.

Paul, Fucking, McGregor.

blah, was really hoping a base price Rd12 cheapie would pop out somewhere for an early cash-out, no such luck
