NRL Fantasy Part 75 - Seibold and Seibeautiful

Flano out with my final trade.

This is the most fucking indecisive I've been all year this week. Might say fuck it and not trade. Deathriding Ponga might be fun for once........(no it won't)

Who's a better replacement for Flanno, Moses or Wighton

Moses seems safer with his goalkicking but he has DBrown there to steal attacking stats off him, plus that niggling calf injury

Wighton doesn't have the goalkicking floor but still gets plenty of kick metres and is a great runner.

I have Munster in my EMG and Mann on my bench so I don't actually have to get a half, but I really don't like my available options, at 712k or less. (If I could afford a Bunt or Koro trade, I would do that instead)

Alternately I could burn 2 trades and go Flanno to Koro/Bunt and Niu to To'a/Hampton, but that would leave me with only 2 trades so I would rather not do this if I don't have to.

You lot with all your trades and decisions. Show offs, the lot of you!

Dragons have just said that Lomax is cleared to play

I heard Taupau out from a guy from the knights with manly contacts but no legit source

Bring back the Super Super POD in the name of Jack Wighton like last year.

Need to dump Robson to someone under $690k, thinking Foto or Brown. Brown has burned me before though. Already have Moses and Tevaga.

For some reason he's 10% owned, must have been a popular autofill pick. Only 9 teams in the top 1000 currently have him so I might go for it. Only thing that sucks is that he doesn't goal kick, but he might be worth the punt. It's either that or I sell Niu to Hampton/To'a/Lemuelu just to have 17, and I hate selling one nuff for another nuff

I like the idea.

Young -> CM9 locked in as my first trade. Leaves me with 6.

Tossing up a few variations for a second, roughly in order of how much I like them:

Talau -> Fui to free up some cash
Randall/Niu -> Fui for coverage
Siro -> Nikorima
Randall -> Lam - bit of a punt
HTF -> Cotric for boom/bust potential
Fog -> N Brown
Pappy -> Brimson frees up the cash to go Fog -> Cook next week

Head spinning with so many options, so any thoughts appreciated.

Team:

Spoiler:

   CM9
   Haas Taupau
   Lolo Jurbo Siro
   DCE Moses
   Lomax Mitchell
   Teddy Ponga Pappy

   Carrigan Tevaga Fog Randall

   HTF Talau Munster Niu

   6 trades, 63k

Don't touch Fotu, Holbrook loves to fuck his minutes, and he's been underwhelming for a few weeks. If you want a forward at that general price point, Junior Paulo is probably better, since he at least has some upside with his ball playing

Yeah I was looking at Paulo but my gut says Brown should be better, emphasis on should.

Yeah same really struggling this week, think I might just end up holding. I can field 17 it's just not that pretty. With these basically being my last two trades with the aim to hold 3 for injuries I would like to be a bit more sure about them

Josh McGuire doesn't get a lot of love around here but he's averaging 50+ and is DPP FRF/2RF. Around the right price point for you.

Think this week is one of the first Cows will have their full forward pack (McGuire, Mclean, Lolo, Asiata, Molo)

Yeah, he doesn't look a bad option actually. Bit too up and down for me, with soft recent form. Appreciate it. All things considered I think I'm going to go with my gut and ride the NBrown train. Let's see how many rounds he can last.

First time I've thought about it since lockout but Koroisau is definitely worth the extra 44k over Tevaga right?

No concern over role, already had a rest so should play every game, averaging 60+

Meanwhile Tevaga has a bunch of questions - minutes, scoring well over previous PPM in position, injury history

Think I've sold myself

I think my decision for trading is done, and I'm giving my super POD boy WightGUN another go this year With that draw (Broncos this week plus some more nice fixtures coming up), I think he's a handy POD play. Would be nice if he still had WFB dual but oh well.

I put Wighton in my second/WAG team 2 weeks ago. No regrets, great scores considering his involvement.
