NRL Fantasy 2019 Part 61

my tv broke wrote:The most annoying thing about CNK's score is that RTS will probably score 70 verse the Titans this evening. I had planned to stick solid with CNK until round 16, and while RTS's recent scores have been disappointing, I've no doubt he can and will bounce back quickly. Just hope it isn't tonight now...

Yeah I held the trade and will probably make it after lock out. Just need one more quiet week from RTS. So you know what that means: BANNER!

Can't help a head knock. Wighton got up smiling after it too, the cheeky dawg.

He prob traded out Xerri this week himself.

Cartwright and Peachey in the starting back row.. RTS should have a field day. FUCK!

154/4. Avoided Xerri's score in position 18 but I reckon there would be plenty who did the same BUT also did the CNK to RTS trade, therefore I don't expect Xerri's 5 to help my rank any.

Niko has to pass the ball to him first.

So it looks like Kenny's getting a go at 17th man, what do we think he'll score this week?

44. Lock it in Eddie.

Yeah, I'm looking forward to it

If he scored slightly better the last 2 rounds, people would've been complaining about his price and hoping for a couple of duds so he'd drop some cash to bring in for the bye.

Since he has now dropped, people are scared off because of 2 games when we have a few years worth to look at.

He'll play 2 more games than Ponga (Knights Friday night after origin again), and potentially 2 more than Teddy and Tom if they don't back-up.

Decent chance that he puts up the most points of any WFB between now and Rd 25.

Ah, that's a massive call.

Didn't say he will haha, just there's a decent chance

47.3 x 12 = 567.6 for RTS

54.9 x 10 = 549 for Ponga

54.9 x 10 = 549 for Teddy (decent chance he's rested)

49.3 x 11 = 542.3 for Tom (playing wing, I think he'll back up). Only a 3 game sample for that average, but averaged 48.9 last year.

Well done mate. I don't disagree with any of that. I just wanted to wait another week, partially because of his high BE, but also because as you say one of the main reasons you bring him in round 16/17. How many times have you traded a player in for a bye round only for them to not play those rounds due to injury? He's gotta survive not only this round but the test as well. I always try and make those trades closer to the bye if possible especially if BE's allow which in this case they do and especially in such a volatile position. Anyway as you say he's a good choice for WFB3.

Yeah not really any harm in waiting a week. If I didn't start with him, I'd wait the week too, but be nervous about it vs. Titans. Going by his average, he should be even cheaper next week and there's a NZ test match to get through too right?

Not knocking anyone planning to bring him in, just the people thinking he's not a gun and want Tom instead, or people that got him and are now a broken record saying he's trash.

When I look at it, yes 12 from CNK is fucking vomit worthy but 162 from 4 is okay. That's an average of 40.5/per and that's 4 players I am sure are in a lot of teams. Only 1 player tonight so no doubt I will probably lose a tonne of ranks but with 8 tomorrow and 4 on Sunday hopefully I can make that ground back and then some.
Next week will be tough. Will wait for official price rises/falls but will probably need to look at a few things re: prices, scores, rises/drops. I just hope to finish inside top 500 (390 before this round). Been improving on my finish every year so if top 500 this year hopefully I can hit top 100 next year.

I'm taking Havili's 39 instead of playing RTS. 
RTS will probably score 60+ tonight

This is interesting, but only 1 thing I would dispute in this case is that Ponga's average is actually slightly understated since it includes his time at 5/8. Since at FB his average is 62.6 (although he scored every game he has played since R6 consecutively - though you should expect attacking stats)

Take CNK's 12 or loop Mahoney?



















































Just kidding.

Yeah true, I didn't factor that in. Ponga had a 53 average from 19 games at FB last year, so if we put this years and last somewhere in the middle, it's pretty close.

RTS is averaging more than last year too, but SJ gone is a possible explanation. RTS does like a niggling injury too, so no guarantee that he plays all 12 remaining games.
