NRL Fantasy 2019 Part 71

Yeah I'm torn between the 2, the plan was always to get Turbo but now I'm leaning towards milf with talk of him getting DPP. I think Dearden coming back soon will only help his KM as well. Dearden wasn't kicking much earlier in the year from memory.
What does the broncos spine look like once SOS and Deardon are fit?

@White_Lighning cheers mate, can't help but feel u just caught me on a good week. Happy with my team considering I've had a few bad beats coupled with a few poor decisions this year. Hoping to just finish the year strong now.

Dearden started kicking more in the game before his injury

This week is the first in a few weeks where I will have at least 1 player in every game

Just looking at Klemmer's stats there's a little 4 week period (R8-11) where he only averaged 46 pts/game. If you exclude this little period from his average, he is averaging 57 points a game. Obviously every player will go through a purple patch of games throughout the year and you can make any stats look good but I just wonder if he was carrying an injury that we didn't know about or something like that through this time. I am hoping he can be a pretty nice POD for me through the run home and maybe bump his 53.6 average up to about 55-56 as the Knights look for the next gear coming into the finals.

Yep. The game before the injury he kicked quite a bit where he scored over 50. The game where he hurt his ankle even after a few minutes I believe he took pretty much all the kicking. Could be wrong though.

It’s an omen. Watson > Turbo. One trade. Zero $ left. Hope his spindly legs hold up for the season.

Kearney deserves the sack if he drops Tevaga to the bench in his current form.

I find this a little fantasy bias. If I remember on the weekend he almost gave the Broncos the win on a few occasions. He knocked the ball on in the 78th minute like 30m out of his own line. I think he missed a few crucial tackles also which lead to a few linebreaks/halfbreaks. Yeah he racks up the tackles and the metres but I think he can be defensively liable at times and good for an error or two.

You’re right. Milf will lose some Kms. It’s not ideal having a FB kicking on the last.

Plus, having just one kicker makes him an easy target.

Can't believe I am going to be $110 million dollars richer tonight.

Here are the kick metres for the games Milford and Dearden played together prior to Dearden injury. Hard to know if the last game was an outlier or if Dearden was finding his feet in 1st grade and starting to take on more of a role after a few games. 
R8
Milf 504
Dearden 28

R9
Milf 518
Dearden 128

R10
Milf 350
Dearden 73

R11
Milf 238
Dearden 210

Anyone taking the leap on Lodge? 677K, 1.8% ownership, 7 game avg of 55 and 3 game avg of 57.3. Since R10 has a floor of 47 and a ceiling of 60 and averaging 47 in base stats (TCK and MG).

Jazzy's attack has definitely suffered from playing longer minutes.

Fantasy-wise his points are great but most coaches don't really consider that when they're making their decisions.

If he works hard on his fitness through the off-season and recovers from his niggles, he'll be a gun lock next year but he's not there right now. The problem for the Warriors is that he's still easily the best they have in that position, he just isn't effective in attack when playing 80mins at the moment.

Is Yeo worth a trade if you can't afford Bateman??

If you win, can you wire me $1mil? Just a small gift of $1mil.
ol' filthy don't ask fer much.

Problem is, he is normally the first cab off the rank to fill in at CTR if there is an injury; however, if he can stay fit and playing 2RF/Lock for the rest of the year a normally 45pt average second rower is fantasy gold at CTR.. especially one that is 398K. Has a pretty big ceiling and Panthers in good form. Only problem is Kikau has a magnet installed in his hands that forces every single Panthers player to pass him the ball.

Dearden was definitely given more responsibility as he found his feet.

The question with Milf is, how much kicking will he still do. If its still above 200 to 250 m, thats a nice points boost for a guy playing fb who busts tackles easily.

Tricky one though.

Should the officiating being at a higher standard? Probably. Is endlessly bitching and moaning about it after the fact, going to change anything? No.

Suppose we shouldn't bother emailing fan hub lol lots of complaining happens here about a bunch of things. Sometimes too much, but tbh the discussion here hasn't been that bad

Klemmer looks to perform better when Knights are going worse as this year he's massively improved his tackle count compared to last year. Last year his average tackles were 24.6 and this year it's around 34. So when Knights are dominating teams (Dragons R10, even Roosters R11) his tackle count is going to be down while his RM stay relatively stable regardless of the game (150-200 RM)

If you expect Knights to have closer games and no real blowouts (their run home is average - 4 top 8, 4 bottom 8 teams) you should see Klemmer benefit

Not bias at all honestly, he's their best forward the past 3 games and I've watched all 3 of the games. I'd rather him take risks and them not come off than not at all because you can't rely on the other Warriors forwards to make plays.
