NRL Fantasy 2019 Part 34

hardearnedthirst wrote:Is it the right time to move Murray on. High BE from lots of attacking stats the first few weeks. Now he has to score 50+ every week, playing 60mins a game, which he has only been doing from a try/line break every game so far, surely unsustainable?

He is the type of player where those attacking stats are base for him, especially in that team. A crucial RD12 player who might be another 12 months off Origin. You'll want him at least until after RD12. One poor game isnt enough for someone averaging 54.6 points a game. Also ask Rabbit - he will be top 3 2rf this year.

Not going to worry too much about Murray after one poor score. A few in a row might be a concern.

He was on 12 after his first stint last week and still put up 39

The only scenario I see where trading out Murray is a good idea is if I was short of funds to upgrade a spoon like sivo, to someone like teddy AND there was a decent option to down grade him too. Ie haas. Maybe.

Or

You had the funds to upgrade to a gun, I.e jurbo. But, if you did have that money, and this was your biggest concern. Your team must be Fucking mint

Andrew Fifita has been cleared to play tomorrow night.... In case anyone cares so is Paul Gallen.

Filthsquad:

Cook (c)
Fifita, Tolman
Arrow, Murray, Garner
Cleary, Morgan
Bateman, Nikora
Tedseco, Ponga, CNK

Rein, Haas, Lawrie, CHT

Brown, Waddell, Okunbur, Ravalawa

Pretty happy with where I'm at for now. My 18-21 is the worry - probably not making enough cash.
Hoping Waddell snags a few back-to-back 40+ scores in the coming weeks.

Score: 4308
Rank: 628

NRL FF L3: 3rd
NRL FF Mod's league: 1st (no surprises there)
filth's league: 2nd

FOG: 23rd

Good stuff. Must have just been a strain rather than a tear

Still not going to give him the armband, too risky

From the get-go the club was always hopeful Fifita wouldn't miss any game time. It was just random internet speculation claiming he'd be out 6 weeks.
If you want to follow random people on twitter/facebook then you have to accept that sometimes they don't know what they are talking about.

Don't worry too much about rank. If you look at scores its still very congested, and 1 or 2 good weeks can see you jump a bunch of ranks. Just getting captain right can see a big climb in rankings

Both the coach and Fifita himself said after last weeks game it was just tightness and they hoped he be fine for this week.

If nobody's taken you on yet, you're on.

Raiders have the best defense in the comp, no tackle breaks and fewer meters this week.

I don't trust this because you're just some random internet bloke.

Kata is definitely not the problem.

He's not THE problem but he is definitely a problem.

I deadset have 1 difference between my 17 and 2 on 18-21 between my team and yours. Literally the thing I was bringing up in the podcast questions. How do we catch up to top teams if teams are converging yet they already have top 2 averaging players in Farah and DCE

sutton or haas

sutton is more secure imo

and with pangi junior and lodge and ofa coming back.. could lessen haas's minutes.

We keep making what we think are the best decisons for our team and we hope that they make bad decisions or have bad luck with their players.

If Farah and DCE both get injured in the first 5-10mins of a game one week while Cook and Cleary have blinders, that's potentially 200-250 point gain from a couple of players.

Unlikely, but could happen. Don't give up!

Same with Sele. No news as to why he is dropped. Not named in Canterbury Cup so has to be injury, right?

Just so you know he scored, 22,5,6 last year

Hey mate I know how you could get confused and think Ofa has been gone but quite frankly he has been there all year.

TPJ will go to the bench mate in the middle rotation. Haas is the lock now.
