NRL Fantasy 2019 Part 60

Man, look like i'll only have 7-9 play in round 16 but im ranked 125 and my team seems pretty decent overall.

Teams is:

Smith
Fifita, Haas
Murray, Tolo, Taupau
Pearce, Munster
Bateman, Nikora
CNK, Tedesco, Ponga

Mahoney
Mccinnes
Tolman
Matterson

Already made 4 trades this week and only have 7 trades left....need to trade Tolman, maybe CNK, cash in a cow and hopefully get cook after Origin and maybe rts if he comes good....would leave me with 3 trades to cover injuries...

Who are your 18-21? 3 trades might be too few depending on how your backup is looking.

I keep tossing with these thoughts too mate. Not owning Teddy playing the Dogs this week is going to be torture.

Nofo could be a risky POD. Looks like his spot is pretty secure.

Thompson cheaper and playing FB. Wouldn't that be a better POD??

Nofo was such a tackle busting gun a couple of years back. I was all set to start with him last year but he was dropped for round 1.

Yeah vaguely remember that. Didn't they send a lot of ball to the right side back then. Which side is he now, and do they still go that way?

Wouldn't have a clue. So many changes and haven't watched too closely. I'll be watching him closely this week though. Fonua out I would think he keeps a spot all year hopefully.

Just had a look and damn, didn't realise Thompson was that much cheaper than Nofo.

Under Jason Taylor, Nofo was used a lot more for hitups, used to rack up the TBs and run meters that way

I think he's been dealing with a few lingering injuries the last couple of years too. Would love to see him get back to his best. You're right, that's how he got a lot of his points so willhave a good look how he's used this week.

I can get McInnes AND Fifita this week but I have to sell Young for somebody 250k or less. The best option I can see is Verrillls. I'm not sure about Verrills because he isn't named to play this week despite many roosters fans saying that Radley is wasted at hooker and Verrills offers better service, is quite fast and is a pretty good tackler. Robinson likes to change his team up before kickoff but I am still not sure if Verrills will be playing. If he does play then he will likely be scoring around 35-40 which will make good coin.

My other option would be to grab one of Fifita/McInnes, Watson and two cows and then grab the other of Fifita/McInnes next week. For the cows I am looking at two of Kenny, Mann and Staggs who have all been named to play unlike Verrills. I also like Watson because he gives me WFB cover for when Tedesco gets rested (I am selling CNK and Sivo)

Which option am I better going with?

1. Fifita/McInnes, Watson, Kenny, Staggs (Fifita/McInnes next week)
2. Fifita, McInnes, Verrills, Kenny/Staggs

Who makes the decisions, I can't believe the Tigers would sign Mannah...

I think Watson's becoming a part of my squad this week!

Tigers have such a tough draw

Any stats on Thompson at FB?

Scores of 15 and 75 at fullback this year.

Last year he played 8 games there for an average of 31.9

Robson is my cheeky pick that will hopefully be a kind of BSmith/Tevaga type player. With Vaughan, Frizell and possibly sims in origin could see good minutes come R16.

I really like option 2 if you don't mind a punt, depending on team make up. Fifita is a must and McInnes probably is too and the sooner the better. But if you've already got a red dot (like Brittain for example) maybe you don't want to take a risk potentially/probably having another one just yet.

What do we think of his JS? Deciding between him and Kenny as my likely final cow who when leaked will he traded with whatever cash I have left to become my 18th man

Anddd what are the poor souls on here that have farah doing? Still waiting for R16 or jettisoning him now? I’m considering him to Matterson

I'm currently going

Carty - Robson
Sivo - JTurbo

trades low as fuck so keeping incase of injuries pre R16
