NRLFF 2006 Fantasy thread - Round 3+4 El Magic round

I don’t think it gets much worse. I’m thinking with 12 interchanges there’s much less value in starting second rowers (aside from guns) and slightly more on bench backrowers. Net effect for Luck might be zero? I would punt McGuire over Luck (would actually do so except I have Farah/Young/Kite to deal with so think I need to hold for now)

Yeah, McGuire starting hooker was shit anyway even if for some reason he secures a spot again.

ok dallas Johnson to Tongue and FFMM to Luke Douglas

Struggling this week, shouldn't have grabbed FFMM at the beginning and gone for someone else that actually played round 1

Wow from not named to starting, after being on the bench to start the year!

crazy format when you’re considering a winger at half.

Can’t bring myself to do it when I already have a bench full of wingers, including Crockett. Think might be taking the focus on winger tries too far!

Farah out week 4 as well locks in same players for me as clack. Good judge even if you did have FFMM.
Means however I am still an owner of Andrew fucking Price...

Guess if Benji has any injury concerns he's straight in at half, so I'm thinking a spot in the team is secure at least. I got heaps of wingers too but fuck it. I do need a good second rower though as Menzies and Johnson are shit. Too many other problems though and TLL starting is a life saver.

Sorry, when is lockout again? Still Friday or earlier due to being 2 rounds?

Love those two ins GM

Douglas looks set for some decent scores as only bench prop and Tongue is pretty much the only performing gun second rower atm

Pending news of grading for Farah, I think I’ve worked out what I’m doing. Now for two days of second guessing and a Friday reversal.

Cheers mate. Douglas move was always locked on at sub 300k
The other move could have been any one of 5 or 6!!

Stagg on the bench annoys me. He will go for CP13 next week

I want Parker too but Ennis is kicking goals and if second rowers aren’t playing 80 then I don’t know how good he will be. I guess the next two weeks will be telling, might get him in for wiki

Yes lockout Friday

Will release round 3 results on Friday night and Saturday. Round 4 on Sunday

Should be good for another Saturday night stream

I've already booked the Lounge for Saturday!

What is the Saturday stream game, make sure I’ve got some players playing

Going to need to buy myself some Knights!

Some of my cheaper players are not performing as hoped. So, I will have to build up my bank another way, while still improving my team !

A bit of a hit these 2 rounds but hopefully gain it back later.

Trades are;
Gallen & Fitzgibbon out
Thurston & Tongue in
