Grant OUT! Ponga & Turbo Back In Action! My Thoughts

In this episode I go through the round 18 team lists and discuss my thoughts from a fantasy perspective!!

[@kieran3904]

Grant had that massive cut across his eye in origin and needed stitches

[@89kilemal]

It's only taken Ricky 18 rounds to realize Starling is better than Levi.

[@sniperscar8591]

The only thing that would make it better is playing starling and woolford

[@queenslander7756]

Wonderful to see you have such an open relationship with your girl that you can freely discuss hookers Jamie!😁

[@Jamienrlcricket]

crazy

[@Krishkb6]

Biggest tlt of the yr 🎉🎉 I’m doing grant to matto sharpe to koula and Manu to Ponga let’s go current rank 4200

[@liamgordon4014]

Don’t get cook for my sake please Jamie

[@hamishcallander3130]

don’t forget you owned D Levi also

[@89kilemal]

He wasn't toooo bad to start

[@Jamienrlcricket]

Hahah true the only guy to make me cash

[@liamcorson6973]

Grant,Dylbags,Fa’alogo,Weekes to Cook,CHT,Hynes,Marzhew thoughts ?

[@denny9422]

Love your work Jamie. We are back from our 9 week holiday. We missed watching NRL and Origin, but back now. You kept me informed with trades and ins and outs. Thanks again mate.

[@Jamienrlcricket]

good stuff hope it was fun

[@denny9422]

@Jamienrlcricket We got into watching Ice Hockey while we were there. I didn't lose any ranks, thanks to your information each week.

[@jontymalouf9230]

Will Watson for sure be getting HOK dual position, if so what rd? i'm having trouble planning my team without knowing

[@okayokay4029]

Probably won’t get hooker because he hasn’t started the games in that position

[@Jamienrlcricket]

not likely, hes been playing 13

[@fade2blak1]

I have 3 trades left... Im seriously considering Grant/Tohu/Brown out, Hynes, McInnes and Marzhew in

[@BrettGrady-vf4kx]

That will stuff you up for R20 unless you not got Iro, or any other Parra or Sharks guys.

[@fade2blak1]

@@BrettGrady-vf4kx Iro is my only other bye player in round 20. It would leave me with 3 players on byes in round 20 in total and no origin players backing up (unless Fifita gets picked).

[@Jamienrlcricket]

sweet mate but maybe 2 trades and save 1?

[@jr.3308]

I wish I could go back to round 1 and not pick Harry Grant smh

[@lachlancamilleri6690]

Hear hear. I said all preseason I wouldn’t pick an expensive hooker and then I did

[@89kilemal]

Same but my alternative was Brandon Smith lol

[@c-scythe6043]

Thoughts on Chris Randall as a trade in option this week? Covers Mid/Hkr for round 19, starting at 13 this week, if titans play well should keep his spot at 13. Last week got 45 points in base stats at 13. Could be a good emergency looper for the back end of the season.

[@Jamienrlcricket]

probably only a 1 week thing cause of klese

[@baileyscope]

is sam hughes a sell if I have 5 trades remaining? i’m thinking hughes to starling…

[@Jamienrlcricket]

if you need cash gen otherwise Hughes was mad last week

[@vincentlevey7760]

Preston, Hands and Grant to Cook, Teddy and Starling? Not sure who else to cash down to other than Starling

[@FrostkingGenetics]

Okay Ihave 5 trades 300k itb rank 3, gone weekes too Latrell because i can and my gut is telling me to do it, 2nd trade im tossing up is Hands too koula as need fb next week and think koula goes 50+ ?

[@NRLstuff]

So is sharpe a sell now. Who should he go to

[@Jamienrlcricket]

hold this week maybe sell next

[@lachlancamilleri6690]

Wishart should be fine for 20. Latest Storm injury report on website says Munster due back 1-2 weeks after Roosters game

[@Jamienrlcricket]

excited for this!

[@chinmayhejmadi7902]

I might just go full send and max trade this week - Manu to Trell, Brown to McInnes, Grant to Ponga, and Weekes to a cash down (probably CHT?) Feel your pain with trading Brailey 😣

[@BrettGrady-vf4kx]

Every chance 3 of those guys miss round 20. Guaranteeing low score R20 n possibly playing short or being forced to trade keepers if you got any Parra, Sharks or Saints players in your team.

[@chinmayhejmadi7902]

@@BrettGrady-vf4kx no Saints but I've got some Eels (Talagi, Hands, Brown) but I'm removing Brown. The Brown trade is what can cause me trouble cuz then I'll be short of a half for Rd 19.

[@JoePhillips-sn5nz]

Id hold Brown till Rd20 then sell Rd19 no Moses so he will be dominant half scores well without Moses

[@peterfoster841]

would u play weekes or strange this week?

[@Jamienrlcricket]

coin flip, weekes has the upside though

[@Johnnybravo105]

Thoughts on JMK to Mahoney & Manu to R Mulitalo. 3 trades left?

[@Jamienrlcricket]

solid

[@liamtwrichards]

Hell yeah JB 🫳🏽

[@BrettGrady-vf4kx]

Please don't get Cookie, had him sonce R12 and gone up 23,000 spots in that time, largly thanks to him. Don't ruin my season! Lol

[@Jamienrlcricket]

sorry Brett

[@FrostkingGenetics]

I have 5 trades and im holding grant, had stitches should be better for the rest and so cheap

[@samcrossland5325]

Hey mate please don’t pick up Api this week, I need him to play for my team and the JB curse is real 😂😂

[@Jamienrlcricket]

I’ve had him in SC this whole time if that means anything haha

[@BronxYTB]

Wouldn’t surprise me grants being rested due to the gash on his head / drama going on with him not going off for a HIA in game 2.

[@Jamienrlcricket]

that part is interesting

[@kerekaunicholas1076]

Grant to Starling this week Wishart and Weekes to Hynes and DeBelin next week

[@Jamienrlcricket]

hold wish, save the cash for Hynes

[@tbanger9153]

wild TLT

[@peterfoster841]

if you grab cook, yes mamozelous will get that starting role but if you don't he will continue to get 80

[@Jamienrlcricket]

correct

[@brendanhoward4659]

When Campbell is back I would say Brimson 1 Campbell 6

[@queenslander7756]

🍻👍🏼

[@baileyscope]

is brimson a purchase?

[@FrostkingGenetics]

wait until next week when campbell back and see how they line up

[@Jamienrlcricket]

after an injury wait until we find out about campbell

[@houdinismith5613]

Thoughts on harrison graham now that jmk out

[@Jamienrlcricket]

Tomorrow

[@lachlancamilleri6690]

@@Jamienrlcrickethe’s injured apparently

[@GreenArrow-7]

Grab Cook Jamie he’s defending well and Bunnies aren’t tryna score every set we’re just rolling through the middle which allows Cook to run. Bunnies to make the 8 🔥

[@Jamienrlcricket]

100%

[@davidbade9883]

Ahh too many choices!!!

[@b8IIin]

I held Grant and traded JMK in as back up hooker for Rnd 19 and J Gos in as a cash out, I couldn't have made worse decisions if I was trying to

[@Jamienrlcricket]

unlucky brother :(

[@jacksmith-zi5yt]

Jaime if you bring cook into your team on the weekend, he will get a season ending injury in the first minute. ha-ha you got so unlucky but your still 100 ranks Infront of me what a legend and fingers cross cook remains starting hooker for the rest of the season

[@cristiancare3012]

Garrick a buy?

[@Jamienrlcricket]

yes or wait 1 week

[@mrtobby4010]

d brown to ponga and drinkwater to matto leaves me with 2 trades tho

[@BrettGrady-vf4kx]

Don't think either are those are sells, despite low score last week. You one week from R19 which Brown plays (without Moses) so you throwing away a 50+ score in bye round. Mad. Hold trades and trade R19 The guys/positions you need to play with 13. R19 and 20 is the time to trade heavy.

[@Jamienrlcricket]

probably not

[@shademclellan8261]

Your wife's comments on the Hooker are gold bro! 😂

[@Jamienrlcricket]

she's a keeper

[@89kilemal]

Surely we don't sell Grant after holding this long just because he misses one extra game. The rest is just speculation.

[@Jamienrlcricket]

It’s true but I also need players this week

[@zillurrahman3531]

Not just extra week, played less minutes after origin then rested last week, could be out round 20, storm way ahead rest of the pack so they can afford to rest him few extra rounds, honestly he's not the same player compared to last year or year before, thought would be even better after captaincy

[@thomasanngow903]

Manu a sell in h2h?

[@R3DR19D09]

Manu broke his hand

[@Jamienrlcricket]

yes if you are over 3 trades

[@dy4918]

Hey JB, I heard Ponga is a chance for Origin. Hence, rushing back in this week to get a game under his belt and prove his fitness to Slater

[@Jamienrlcricket]

I imagine Walsh gets picked but yep! Hope he goes well :)

[@NRLstuff]

Noooo jamie is going to cook, cook

[@inokefono1637]

YES! Traded Grant out in rd16 for Api 🫡

[@Jamienrlcricket]

good this week hopefully
