NRL Fantasy 2019 Part 66

Payne Haas – Will be wanting to show Freddy what he is missing out on. Sharks got beat badly up the middle, maybe no Fifita hurts them and Broncos without Fifita, Gillett, Oates will need to find some spark up the middle.
Klemmer – Will be fired up after getting the origin snub and Knights won’t be to hurt by the Origin picks. Showed they can still win without Ponga and Warriors are out of some form right now.

Might stick with CS9 though.

Suppose Paix will debut in the halves.

A lot of rumours going around that Bennett knew he was leaving the club and fucked them royally by signing players he didn't want for money they don't deserve and not signing players he did want so he could lure them to redfern (s'ua and roberts). Much like he did at Newcastle.

Apparently Seibold had to get rid of Sua, Roberts etc just so the Broncos came under the salary cap.

I don't think we have any option, other than playing both?

1 Boyd
2 Coates
3 Shibasucki
4 Staggs
5 Herbie
6 Paix/Dargan/Turpin
7 O'Sullivan

The only other top 30 back we have is Perese.

That is straight up a Q Cup backline. I don't think goalkicking is going to matter much.

Jesus Christ. Xerri and SJ are going to ton against that backline.

Fair things to consider and definitely risk vs reward but I don't think we're comparing apples to apples..

The half position has been a minefield this year. What other half options do we have in the same price bracket that will be starting halves (won't be dropped, won't play off the bench)?

Bringing in Jazz as a hooker when Fainu is available? That's a big punt, to me. Fainu has locked down the starting hooker role and should punch outside consistent keeper level scores. Jazz's role is still up in the air.

Isn’t Koroisau only out for 6 weeks?

Once he gets back, Fainu will go back to the bench and score in the high 30’s

I think Fainu is a bigger punt imo
