NRL Fantasy 2019 Part 61

I just had a look at your posts, and if you went ahead with the trades posted the other day - you could reverse the Kerr/212k cash out and get Staggs instead (if Murray was ruled out), and hope for a 40 pt game from him. Obviously that is going to use a bit of your bank, so all comes down to future trade plans.

Yeah went for similar trades (just changed cashout) but looking at holding that money in the bank, now needing 2 WFB/HLFs before R17 if both Tedesco and Ponga are rested and Lomax is injured. Think I might be able to afford Havili + Dearden to cashout + SJ which would cover it if cashout played 16 and 17 (and was WFB). Obviously hard to plan ahead with the amount of bloody injuries occuring

My final 17 has completely changed in last couple of days

*sigh* yeh, fuck it, running with 16 players this week, need to be fickle about cash flow with all these cows getting tipped over, i'm not getting value from any potential WFB/HLF trade-in and i'm out of fucks to give this season, so whatever.

With all these injuries, whoever wins fantasy has fully Steven Bradbury'ed it

Uele signed a new 3 year deal with the Sharks, whatever a contracts worth anyway, but gud news.

I had a laugh when I read that Lomax was injuried, casue that's how it been since day 1 but now as I calm down, I'm getting pissed off about it lol. Kind of coming around to just trading him out now and forgot that it even happened and the trade was already gone. Don't want to have to look at his DCE inspired smiling fucked up giraffe neck until next fortnight!!

With lomax out I don’t have cover for teddy if he’s rested this week. Any confirmation if he’s playing or not? Fkn Trent is the worse

If Murray is out, I can either play To'o or use a trade and go Dearden to staggs.

If anyone still remembers him... Kaysa Pritchard has retired. Surely will free up a top 30 spot and a little bit of money for the Eels.

Few posters talking about NBA finals. Klay Thompson has done his ACL

I've pulled the trigger on ARey to Milf
means I can cover a possible Tedesco outage via Ponga, plus gives me a R16 scorer, and I am not longer sweating on whether ARey returns after the bye or not.

I am as confident as possible I can get this final 17

Cook
Fifita Haas
Jtrbo Taumalolo Murray
Cleary Milf
Nikora Bateman
Teddy Ponga RTS

Smith
McInnes
Taukeiaho
AFB

18th man will be Mitchell Kenny
19th/20th will be whatever cheapies I grab in R16 - who may or may not be capable of scoring points (if cash is good to me over the next 2 rounds, one of them might be SJ, but that would probably be pushing it)
21st Man is Dearden

That will give me 3 trades for the run home.
One of which might be spent on AFB - Twal/R16 player capable of being in final 17.

So terrible depth, but if my top 17 can stay on the park, I think its capable of good scoring

Let's hope this plan can last at least until the end of the weekend

Y'all can hate on Lomax but at the end of the day he goes home to Jessica Sergis so he's a winner no matter what.

Surely everyone has 2RF cover if Murray is out

For a lot of people that cover might be Xerri and his 5

(If they have Xerri in 18 and a 2RF somewhere in 14-17)

Who comes in if Murray is out? It shouldn't be Brittain, right?

Brittain's not in the 21, so they wouldn't be giving any exemptions I wouldn't think.

For me its moving SST into starting and playing To'o in place of Murray.

Might as well write down a final 17 I'll aim for. Aiming low that is, very low.

Cook
Fifi Taupau
Murray Tolo JTurbo
SJ Morgan
Bateman Nikora
Ponga Teddy RTS

McInnes Smith Mahoney Haas

If I aim for this I need to find coin and trade outs for Smith JTurbo and SJ. Still backing Morgan to be decent enough for the run home as long as he's back in the halves. 11 trades left and have CNK Sivo, Xerri, Havilli, Lomax and Dearden that are expendable. Should be doable. Although if I can't afford JTurbo, I'll settle for a Twal, Crichton or JFH at lock. Mahoney a worry but he'll be right.

Was thinking all arvo about punting Lomax for Edwards (seriously) but probably better to cash him out next round or 16. Edwards has shown enough to run considering how volatile the back are lately and keep Ponga in the halves with Morgo.

To'o comes in for Murray for me, too.

I'll get Havilli's score but will have to play King Sivo.

Just looking at the final 17 I put together, I just realised how crucial it was that Xerri and CNK put up good scores last night.  They fucking didn't which is potentially diabolical.

May have to keep Bateman in the second row and aim for a POD like Marsters or something in the centres. He still has a 43 average. Definitely flying under the radar with Nikora, Bateman and Xerri occupying the position.
