2018 NRL.com Fantasy Thread Part 31

Looking to bring in one of Smith or Taumalolo this week, the other next week.
Which order should I be doing that?
The sensible thing would be to give Lolo another week to make sure his form really is back, but I think he is more capable of destroying his BE (42) than Smith (45) is, and another 80 from him could ruin my plans.

Yep, I've seen him play and he's deffo good. Just depends at the moment if Souths can roll over teams with triple Burgesses then there's less time for an undersized lock.

I have him, and there are certainly more urgent trades. Maybe overthinking it with being uncertain about hamstrings and minutes.

I think he is perfect for the role of tackle machine in the middle with a few runs towards the back end of each half around tired forwards while letting the props and Cook rest in defense so they can do the damage in attack.

Hammy is an issue but I don't think minutes are

I have Fifi and Murray as potential non-starters.
I have doughnut to get out of my 21 and MMoses to get out of my playing team and into the emergency ward.

So T. Roberts-Davis in four doughnut lets me do Murray to SJ.
Pretty convinced I'll run with that.

Fifi and SJ will outscore Murray this year and I'd rather deal with a bruised knee over a suspect hammy. And I just can't deal wit MMoses in the 17 anymore.

Sound analysis.

Murray looks the goods, but I dropped him because dodgy hammys in a stacked pack are a worry.

And dropping Mmoses sounds sensible

@Pain

Do you think GI receiving the VC armband last week affected his fantasy performance?

JPaulo or Gosiewski

Anyone have any stats of Capewell at 2RF? Please and Thank you.

Fuck you Failhub. Went to open the app and I've been logged out and my login will no longer works!! Looks like I'm done for this year.

FUCK YOU FAILHUB

Lodge to Gosiewski
Kennar to Rein

Seem like decent trades? Think I'll take a punt on Gos over Sua
Leaves my team looking like this
274k bank
Looking to do Rochow/TPJ to Surgess/Koro in the next week or two

Smith
Fifita TPJ
Murray Arrow RFM
DCE Mbye
Mitchell Isaako
Tedesco Ponga Thompson

Cook
Kikau
JFH
Rein

Gosiewski
Rochow
JMK
Fine

Honest opinions please guys?

gunna hang off Bird for a week, i think the Storm game will tell us where his role in the team moving forward is, win or lose, i think wherever he ends up on the following TLT will confirm where Bird's spot is

They look like solid trades mate, I think it’s Gosie’s spot to loose.
Looks like rein might play the 80 too, only second rowers and front rowers on the bench isn’t there?
Your interchange looks strong and you have backup for this week if Fifi and Murray aren’t playing.

Totally missed playing the storm.. I'll hold off another week too.

Currently going

Griffin - Gos
Lodge - TLolo

Smith c
Arrow, JFH
Kikau, RFM, Taumalolo
ARey, Mbye
Isaako, Inglis
Tedesco, Ponga, JMK

Cook
Havili
Gos
Fifita

Murray
Rochow
Croker
Kennar

If Fifita is out then I'll get Murray if he plays or Rochow

Seems solid enough

Was thinking of trading out Inglis for Bird and Hiku for Fisher Harris. Sound ok?
Would give me coverage if Fifi doesn’t play.
Will see how Vaughan goes this week and maybe trade him out for S. Johnson or C. Smith next week?

Team for this week would be

D. Cook
P. Vaughan, A. Fifita
J. Arrow, J. Trbojevic, J. Fisher Harris
D. Cherry Evans, M. Mbye
J. Bird, J. Dugan
J. Tedesco, K. Ponga, M. Dufty

C. Thompson, V. Kikau, J. Gosiewski, M. Leota

Not Fantasy related but I have found that Rough Red can taste like a very fine Bordeaux the more you drink it

i just have this nagging feeling Bennett returns the spine to the status quo if we lose it, if we win he must be all but locked in, and ditto if we lose and he's still no.6 on Tuesday.

I really want Surgess in my team but feel I must get ET first

As both a Murray owner and a Bunny supporter I hope they rest him.
