NRL Fantasy 2019 Part 76

Nice bet pal!

8/485, which puts me at rank 140, and I'm so fucking stoked after tonight. All of my PODs fired up and the Storm carved up the Ponies. Only downer was the knock on call against Munster, that one really hurt, as well as him not being given the 2nd TA/LBA which he really should have got (and did get in supercoach). Other than that, I'm absolutely stoked.

I had Lolo last night, and then today had Papalii (62), Wighton (64) and Tevaga (65) fire up to give me a massive jump in rankings, then Smith killed it and Haas did okay. Got Teddy as captain so praying for a huge one against the Titans, as well as my POD Latrell firing (Latrell actually is a POD among the top ranks, oddly enough)

Your head is right up there for dropping the most random bombs. There’s always one

Kenny B last-6 average of 43 for around 600k with Stimson lurking and playing out of his skin.

Double and 89pts 

Fair enough

6/344,ranking has slipped to 41 but I’m hoping Captain Cook will come to the rescue

7/455(c) - Munster & Matterson underwhelming yet again, will be selling one as my last trade next week

Hopefully I can hold onto 1st in the Storm league until the end but I don't think I can make charge for top 5 with my PODs failing week in week out

I wonder what effect performing enhancing drugs have on your brain/thought processes because like you I played league for years, got bashed around & thumped & there's nothing wrong with my brain but I know people who went the illegal way taking performance enhancing drugs & their brains are mush.”

I think we go back since I joined Sportal 10 years ago. Always respected your opinion. Thanks for being the good bloke you are. Legend!

Cheers Rabs. I remember the first time I logged on to the sportal forum the first post I read was you & KFP having one of your guys legendary difference of opinions haha. Good times.
Talking of my good mate KFP is he still on here this year because I'm not sure.

With the epl fantasy starting soon there's a site I use that could be helpful if you want some insight. I have to warn those who get offended easily that it's a pretty full on forum & sometimes there's some inappropriate content/comments made on there but the end game is talking about epl fantasy. If you think you can handle that the site is:

totalfpl.chatango.com & my user name on there is nrlbulldogs.

I still own Dearden & hopefully Turpin will go back to the bench hooker role next week because he showed he's not a half, he's filled in admirably but he should be playing his natural position of hooker. Dearden isn't much but he at least gives me another option to loop from.
I'm definitely taking CNK's 45 points with my Xerri v CNK poophole.

Should have a LB for when he made misplaced pass because he got through line and to Milford, should have LBA for Papenhuyzen try (and possibly TA)

(Disclaimer I am an owner, but this isn't compelte bias)

I'm a Munster owner as well mate & I'm wondering where's his 2nd ta/lba for Papenhazen's try.

Do I take CNKs 45, or risk playing Fainu?

Surely Apis not ready to contribute alot

After I factor in my CNK poophole I'm currently 381/7 with (c) Tommy Turbo to play today.

By the way I'd love for Nikora to be a late out

tbh I'd risk playing Fainu. Even if Koroisau is on the bench I can't see him taking that many minutes off Fainu. Fainu has a ppm of 0.87. Say he plays 60 minutes he'll score around 52, if he plays 50 mins he'll score around 44. So the worst case scenario where Fainu plays 50 mins he basically matches the score of CNK.

Yeah that's what I thought mate.
Still hoping Api gets cut an hour before to give him another week

Here an interesting one would you trade SST > NBrown or take CNKs 45 this week.

I'm quite keen on NBrown and the trade will be out of reach next week

I would buy N. Brown. Join me LB because I traded Twal to N. Brown. I'm expecting a 60+ score from him.

Alright mate I'm in with ya.

These Twal shenanigans must be a bit of an annoyance.

I remember last night in the Warriors v Raiders game the commentator said that during pre season the Raiders were doing 3 hour fitness sessions in the heat & the players were told never to say how hard the sessions were. Well I remember when doing my pre season research Whitehead was being interviewed about how well Bateman was adjusting & Whitehead said he's struggling to adapt to the heat.....haha well I'd find it hard to adjust to the heat as well doing a 3 hour gut buster in 30 degree heat.

If I sit him out I'll get CNKs 45

My whole weekend depends on this news.
If he’s in I’m in trouble in my H2H and I’ll have to trade my way out.

Are people keeping the faith with Fifita?

Besides being benched today he’s not that consistent.
Although take his 2 x 11’s out and he averages 60. The mid 40’s are a bit annoying.

He’s about to lose a ton of cash so it’s now or never if trading him out.
