NRL Fantasy 2019 Part 69

Fifita averages 52 against the Storm, 43 last 3 average. Smith averages 62 against the Sharks with a 49 last 3 average. On the surface it looks like historically they scored well with a few recent low scores dragging the averages down.
There's obviously no context to this so make of it what you will.

Do Souths cut their team to 19 at 3pm tomorrow, or do they get extras at the 24hr mark, because of origin?

It would be interesting to know if Gallen missed any of those games.

I really don't think Brittain will play the whole 80. It will be more likely Brittain will start off the bench and if souths gets a decent lead, will rest cook. If its points you need for your 17, I'd trade him for Burns.

Storm vs Sharks last year was the height of the penalty crackdown - the Smith sinbinning game.
I wouldn't read anything into low scores there, unless you think there will be 20+ penalties this weekend

0 trades + Fainu's 55's from now to R21 when I grab my 18th man

Well I guess Jurbo/Matterson would probably replace Taupau and then I would use Taupau/SST for my 18th man.

At the moment, I have Martin to Burns to cover my WFB. If Murray calls in sick, im stuffed. I'd rather play 16 with no WFB and take Martin's points and a bit of cash. Hope we find out sooner rather than later.

I think Marty really should be in your 17 every week...

I'm not sure it would really matter. I know historically they affected each others scores a bit but Gallen isn't playing that role anymore, I'd be more worried about Uele.

I personally think BHU will start to die down a bit. This is his first big year and has gone from playing 15-25 minutes a game to 35-50 minutes a game for the last 7 rounds. It is really his first full year and I think he will be starting to feel the affects of it.

Fuck yeah

I guess if I'm waiting a week on getting Fifita back in, this is the best week for it, hopefully.

Depends how many trades you have left.

Second option is better as I don't trust Crichton's JS or Robinson and Marty > Klemmer/Twal imo.

Fainu is a good option until Koro is back but needs to go after that.

Wade Graham out 3-4 weeks (DT)

was just about to ask if any news there

SST and Brooks been nice knowing ya lads

DT late mail suggesting that Pearce (rest) & Klemmer (Finger/wrist) won't be available for Knights. Mann to half if it's the case for Pearce.

Non Cook owners: he needs a rest he got a couple of knocks last night

Future (hopeful) Cook owners: he will play reduced mins, Brittain onto the bench
