NRL Fantasy 2019 Part 77

Aardvark wrote:The whole obsession about blaming the ref cause your team is shit is a blight on the game, it eats up 50% of the oxygen during the week from both the media and fans and to be frank it’s boring. I like league but it’s not my favourite sport and whinging about the refs is the worst thing about it. If you want to know what’s driving fans away its not the refereeing its the whinging about the refereeing.

Please note, this rant is an opinion and not based on either facts or research

Australian commentators in most sports here are the worst in the world for it. They think they are the entertainment. I watch a lot of american sports and they rarely comment on bad calls, if they do its quick and move on. Its almost like a directive from the sport or network that their role is to sell the game not bag it. They analyse good play not referees/umpires and is so much better to watch. Greenburg asked for something like that last year and the media and commentators jumped all over him for it.

@Danseels - just letting you know for eliminator reasons I will be using my last trade.

Just noticed my opponent Neillo has DCE, Jurbo and only has space for ARey and Fifita in a loop.

Means I will get battered if left with Burns or CNK needing to play.

For the benefit of transparency and me not practicing what I preached in suggesting you should save trades!

Burns to Bateman locked in then.
And to fund it SST > Verills

Haas captainers got out of jail with 1 big run boosting his score. Lolo captainers not so lucky.

I've gone Cook and will be for the rest of the year. The big 4 will all average 60+ and if you pick and stick you get the big scores. If you shuffle around you might end up grabbing a few low scores

Sam also couldn’t complete the session with a leg complaint.

Ugh.

Does anyone follow the "late mail crew" account on twitter, it is an official NRL thing. Never terribly useful.

But the profile is as follows:

Late Mail Crew
@NRLLMC
The SCPros team are moving to Thursday's in 2019. New name, New time, Same voices.


Why does it say "SCPros", are they referring to super coach?? It is irking me! haha

Did anyone get Peats? I think the Cow may have :/

Tony Webeck
@TonyWebeck
LATE MAIL: @GCTitans hooker Nathan Peats will miss tomorrow's clash with the Dragons due to a knee injury. Tyrone Peachey to replace Ash Taylor in the halves.
@NRLcom

It was inevitable with peats

Also Danny Levi starting, Connor Watson bench according to Barry Toohey, who is generally never wrong https://www.newcastleherald.com.au/story/6318750/danny-levi-set-for-surprise-recall-for-knights-vital-clash-with-eels/

Is it the right week to pull the trigger on RTS to Ponga? More of a defensive tactic than an attacking one.

Any chance Crichton secures the edge role even when Cordner is back?

Tried listening to that podcast and it just seemed like a bunch of random, lower tier FM radio jocks got thrown in a room and instructed to make a 'humorous' show about NRLF....it's like listening to Darius Boyd being interviewed for an hour

Rip to the guy coming first

Levi carved the Eels up last game

lol. I've never listened to it, and don't plan on it

I knew what I was getting into. Everyone was a risk at the price I could afford

I mean Cordner is the captain, lol. Aubbs seems to be ahead of Crichton right now as well.

Ok, any thoughts on this:

1. Fainu to Farah, last trade, with all the risks about Farah’s future role

OR

2. No trade - Fainu stays 18/19 man, save last trade for the inevitable injured gun replacement.

Legit the first time this season I’ve been 50/50, normally I’ll have a strong view one way of the other.

I wonder how long Peats is out for, I would be tempted to trade Fainu to Rein if it was for the rest of the season.
