2018 NRL.com Fantasy Thread Part 40

I think Taupau is set to disappoint. Can easily see Manly getting completely demoralised over the coming months and just don't see him keeping up the same intensity in a losing side.

I really wanted to bring him in this week with what you would think would have been 4 games to stabilise my Centres.

Even Round 13 may not be a given now if Wade Graham isn't fit till then and misses out on Origin due to no prep and plays the bye.

gone thompson to ray martin and jetski to tolo. gonna sleep on these and then rollback and do it all again tomorrow.

I feel Lolo is the better get out of the two. I actually don't think I have ever owned Taupau.

Judging from the commentary in his debut game he's well loved at the club/playing group.

They did get a couple of injuries that would've boosted him minutes, but I thought the guy showed enough to justify selection for the time being.

I thought that was the case. Played 40 minutes, and you don't think that will continue, so probably not much room to grow.

Are people still really going to trade Thompson when you may have the likes of Coggar, Soro, Gossie etc. on your bench? I know it makes sense with Thompsons BE but at this stage, I don't really see the logic. He could easily hit 40 casuing his money to almost halt.

I think I may just go Soro to Martin to get the funds to go either Havilli or Griffin to Fifita. Not sure which one goes though.

Honestly I feel like AJ can be like a Cameron Munster type 5/8 where he is a FB in a 5/8 position. Running half, he will do in my team

I'm still considering him, but with the likes of Murray benched, Arrow, Rein, Havilli, Soro, Coggar lying around in my team, I don't think I have the trades to get him out in 3 weeks time.

i dont think much changes with griffins role. buhrer was dropped out of the side all together so you would assume levi will get the 15-20 instead

the interesting shift is guerra to lock and barnett to the edge. with yates in the team, maybe barnett (488k) will get 80mins? cheap as if he does, but not willing to risk a trade on it for now

can't believe i'm about to say this bit i think i'm joining the Endeavor this week, for whatever reason Smiths floor seems to be lower this year, i'm used to a dud captaincy score once in a blue moon and just riding it out, but ignoring a bloke who hasn't scored less than 49 this year for the sake of tradition is starting to feel a bit silly, Smith in my INT looks really weird though

I think the last time Levi was in the team he almost played as many minutes as Griffin.

I'm not sold on Murray on the bench, but I think I have to wait and at least give him a chance.  Might even be a chance that Surgess bumpes one of his brothers to the bench on game day.  Think I'm going;

Soro - Martin
Havilli - Fifita

Griffin could go instead, but round 13 numbers are dropping so probably need him. Will hold Arrow.  Will probably punt and play Isaako over Thompson too.

News on Bolton -
Apparently it has come out today that Bolton touch the woman on her genitals and he made a statement to say that his family are standing by him yet he didn’t deny anything.

I'd think people trading Thompson don't have those others you mention. And even if they do, Coggar and Gossie won't be loosing money. Thompson will loose money.
His last three weeks scores have been inflated by 2 tries. Classic case of every week you hold him the more money you loose. 40 won't stop the slide.
He's gone from my team this week and since I had him from the start that's a good result for me.

This happened last week. And barnett played 80 on the edge

I’m happy with my Soro to AJ trade but not sold on RFM to Tolo. RFM is probably averaging around what I expect and priced around the same. Probably peaked, has a big ceiling but Way I see is he isn’t in my final 17 and doesn’t play RD 13. Tolo is hitting gun status again his price will only keep rising right now. So he is in now or never I say

Thompson is limping right now but the cash itb will allow me to trade him next week along with either Murray/isaako/JFH.

It's Sorensen to To'omaga for me, the guy is busting to be given a shot and looks so dangerous.

i didnt pick up on it at all, watched the game too which is worse XD 

well i might take the leap and go murray to barnett, and hope for some quick cash before bringing in the big guns post rnd 13
