2018 NRL.com Fantasy Thread Part 46

my tv broke wrote:Tweeted Lone Scout re Hipgrave getting DPP as he is basically in the same boat as Fonua. He said theyll add him to the list of considerations. Might help anyone that is considering him.

Cheers MTB, was on the radar and he ripped in last week.
But of a loose unit but fun to watch, playing for his spot he gets another start due to their win so possibly could even hold it (even with Matthews out for an unknown period)

Think he could average 35-40 if holds the spot which is fine for a benchie DPP if needed for a week

Opinions please on how close this looks to a final 17

Think I'm not too far away but some reassurance would be great? Lol and any thoughts on what my next moves should be?

$13.21 million here. My team is shit. Bringing Dugan back in for Dalker. You have been warned. Cashing JMK to TMM to pay for it.

No thanks Mulvy.

that is funny.

Thompson has an average of 46 playing at wings compared to 31 at fullback. Obviously he needs tries to maintain that average but I'd say most of the attack will be going down his side so he'll get alot of ball time. Fonua + Thompson could be this years Leipana

Well points are always better than money. But if you really have an extra $700k over him you shoul dbe abel to upgrade your team to a point where you can make back those 100 points
barring injuries/bye planning etc)

Probably he has just done some cashouts and has a lot of money in the bank though

Thanks, yeah that's what I was thinking, but nah the team value has been similar or been rising accordingly. Ive been keeping an eye on it.

I've lost the plot. From Eels captain's run, who is this? Gower? Brown?

No thanks to my jizz post? Or my planned trades? Or breaking Dugan?

Yeah got Fonua but not liking owning Marsters at the same time haha.

Thats Gower Mulvy.

Gower

Ah boo, beaten to it

Way too lean to be Brown

Fortitude wrote:Whats everyones team value looking like? Judging by the rankings page id say most top 100 teams are between 14ish to 13.6ish?

$13.18 + $371k in the bank = $13,551,000.
Ranked 1800th or so.

Im actually hoping owning Marsterd and Fonua will be like owning Croker and BJ from two years ago.

I probably would play Sua over Murray if I had him.

Would you play any either Maloney or Havili ahead of him though?

I was pretty happy when I saw Thompson on the wing on TLT. At f/b he runs around like a headless chook & no one passes him the ball & there's no plan to get him involved. He gets much more ball on the wing plus when he runs it out of his own half he gets tb's.
