NRLFF 2006 Fantasy thread - part 2 Let's get ready to rumble

I have found on youtube a complete game from round 2.

Anyone fancy a watch party next week? We all fire up youtube at the same time and chat along - either here or use zoom/skype something to have live chat whilst the game is on. Fantasy isn't fantasy if nobody is complaining about missing tackle busts

Saturday night Aus time would work best for me for beer and footy

Beautiful if we get one match of highlights each week a massive reward and sanity booster as referenced by Welshy!

Fuck yeah

Easter Saturday forum footy throwback night.

No excuses about having other stuff on, we know you're all locked at home.

Try and get a start time that works for Aus/NZ and Welshy

Can I have a copy?

I need someone to drop around and teach me about spread sheets so that it doesn't take me 20 minutes to figure I' tracking at 8/378.

Newcastle vs Parramatta

I am surprised nobody picked Glenn Morrison - he was always a handy fantasy player, and he topped the tackle count and the scoring

Brian Carney picked up a try on debut and the Gidley brothers both did alright

Luke Burt struggled as Parra got flogged - but no complete duds

Where's FFMM?

edit: fuck me he's not named in round 1. What a flog

Big day for me tomorrow, currently 110/2

Good point. I was wondering why Hayne wasn't there either. I know 2009 was his main year, but surely in 2006 he was still at least a starter? Or was he injured? Hope he's there for round 2.

Anyway, I'm travelling like a split ballsack on 9/342. Hoping for a massive day from my crew tomorrow.

Jarryd Haynes debut season was 2006 (he was only 18).
Am sure he'll appear at some point, but who knows when

Moi Moi was injured at the end of the 2005 season, that might be why he hasn't appeared yet.

As easytiger said, Haybe is an 18 year old rookie at the moment, he has to bide his time.

Both Haybe and Fuifui play this year

Round 1 highlights video

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q5hFoQ1anw8

Melbourne 22 (M. Geyer 2, G. Inglis, C. Smith, S. Turner tries; G. Inglis goal) defeated Warriors 16 (D. Koopu, J. Ropati, M. Vatuvei tries; T. Martin 2 goals)

Did you start without Cam Smith or Greg Inglis? Whoops, both got 70+
Did you start with Tony Martin? whoops, 8 points, 4 of which were goal kicks
Jake Webster also far from impressive

Steve Turner was the better cheap back grabbing a try and 40 points

Very cool
Takeaways: forgot about Amos Roberts - pretty fast, unlike Polglase who looked like he was running in deep mud
Ben Walker looked good - don't know if it adds up to too many points in this format? Soliola looking like he makes LB's for fun.
Yeah, so takeaways are pretty much anyone who scored a try looked pretty good...

So CS9 isn't the century maker? intriguing...
Missing out on 75 isn't great, but less bad than I was anticipating...

Sydney 40 (A. Roberts 2, R. Cross, B. Finch, A. Minichiello, I. Soliola, J. Soward tries; C. Fitzgibbon 3, A. Roberts 3 goals) defeated South Sydney 22 (Y. Gordon, N. Merritt, J. Sutton, B. Walker tries; B. Walker 3 goals)

Shane Shackleton was a popular cheapie. Perhaps not the best choice
Amos Roberts scored a lot of tries in 2005, and started 2006 well, but nobody wanted him

Lots of people went Jamie Soward, and they were rewarded

Craig Fitzgibbon put up a disappointing score for his price, and is owned by 8 teams. Does anyone dare trade him out?
