NRL Fantasy 2019 Part 68

Someone talk me out of trading Ponga for Fifi. Means I can turn Lomax into Burns and then I don't have to play Coates.

You'd be trading out a WFB that has scored below 50 exactly once since shifting back to the No.1 position. Running without a very consistent and high owned WFB is an uphill struggle you're unlikely to conquer.

Since moving to FB Ponga has actually averaged 60 points a game. Knights will be playing finals footy this year so they will be firing in this back end of the year.
With Tigers x 2, Eels x 1, Cowboys x 1, Titans x 1, Panthers x 1 he has the chance of picking up big scores.
These are his average against these teams at FB
Tigers - 56.5
Eels - 60.5
Cowboys - 55
Titans - 74
Panthers - 50

If Ponga is fit, you'll regret it.
If Ponga misses more than just this week it might be worth it.

Thanks guys, you are right. Didn't realise their run was so good. Will look at Fifi another way. Maybe even wait til next week and get him in for Watson. That seems more sensible.

I saw Ponga talking on League Life last night and he said he'd be back for the Roosters game.

Paix was mentioned over the last few days as a cash out option.

QLD have confirmed their side for tonight and he is playing. So won't be a late in for the Broncos (well, incredibly unlikely unless an injury occurs at training).

For a second there I was like, wait, Paix is playing SOO tonight?

The U20s teamlists are pretty strong for tonight, should be a good game.

I know Burns is a popular trade, but you could take a punt on a cheap WFB and hope they jag a couple of tries.

A big yes!

Rapana?

Seems weird he's just been no presence on the field at all. Not sure if they have changed the way they play or if he's injured. But at his price, he's a decent punt.

Does anyone think I NEED to trade. 6 trades but only 6K;

Smith
Taupau Haas
Murray Tolo Bateman
Watson SJ
Xerri Nikora
RTS Coates CNK

Cook MC9 Mahoney Fainu

Teddy Ponga Lomax Brittain

Thinking running with this for this week and hope Murray backs up. I do like Burns and not keen on Xerri against the Storm. Lomax to Yeo is a decent shout. Besides double trading for Fifi I can't see anything that would put me behind in the scoring this week. I guess tonight could change things depending on what happens.
