NRLFF 2006 Fantasy thread - Round 5+6, I love fullbacks

It's hard to see CS9 not be last man standing.
Nevertheless I will call dibs on the great Alan Tongue

Give me CS9. Ultra consistent

Cs9 for mine

Here is the Newcastle Cowboys 2nd half

Will put this game stats up last in case people want to watch it first. Apologies for poor quality

Melbourne 40 (G. Inglis 3, M. Crocker, R. Hoffman, M. King, C. Smith tries; C. Smith 6 goals) defeated Penrith 18 (L. Hookey 3, D. Galea tries; P. Campbell goal)

He's owned by literally everyone (the only player at 100% ownership) but Inglis has given everyone a morale boost with a hattrick inspired 101

The less well owned lee Hookey gets 90 points for his 8 owners.

Cam Smith showing Cam Smith form

Down at the bottom end continues to slide after a strong start to the year

Canberra 18 (A. Tongue 2, L. Withers tries; C. Schifcofske 3 goals) defeated Warriors 14 (D. Koopu, B. Webb tries; T. Martin 3 goals)

Hands up if you want to have Alan Tongue's babies?
He's gone and scored another double

Wiki and Price give their handful of owners some love

Purtell and Learoyd-Lars down the bottom

Wests Tigers 42 (M. Crockett 2, P. Whatuira 2, B. Galea, R. O'Hara, R. Trimarchi tries; B. Hodgson 6, S. Prince goals) defeated Cronulla 16 (B. Kearney, D. Simmons, N. Vagana tries; L. Covell 2 goals)

2 people took a punt on Brett Kearney, and were rewarded for their efforts

Paul Gallen and Luke Douglas not great from the bench

Darren Albert not so good either

Paul Whatuira back in the points, and Dean Collis good scores for a tryless centre

Tony Martin outscoring Schifcofske with zero tries 

Ruben Wiki finally did something

Really should have got rid of Tony Puletua during bye

I wonder when the first round will be when I won't have to put out a fire in my team

Bulldogs 26 (C. Hughes, L. Patten, A. Ryan, V. Tonga tries; H. El Masri 5 goals) defeated South Sydney 18 (J. Galuvao, N. Merritt, J. Sutton tries; N. Merritt 3 goals)

The top 6 scorers in this game have a total of 0 owners between them

2 people have Willie Tonga and his 52

Sonny Bill 19 from the bench, will he start next week?

Final game this afternoon, try and get the spreadsheet out tonight

671 with Thurston and Scott to go, hopefully let’s me stay with the pack

Inglis getting close to the point where he is a worth a trade out as a POD

Trent Waterhouse floor is not as high as I remember, with him not yet getting those ceiling scores

Craig Gower still super consistent as a half. Gower and Sutton seem to be giving a solid floor with a decent ceiling

Tongue was due to come in for me this week, but with so many tries to start the year I feel he is a little over priced

Steve Price finally meeting expectations

Guttenbeil continues to impress and is probably a trade in target for me

Schifcofske continues to drop price with his base well down on 2005

Purtell is a true shitto and will be moving on as soon as I don't have fires to put out

Hodgson 50 without a try could be the end of his price falls

Kevin Kingston continues to score slightly above price but not impressive.

Anyone getting nervous on El Masri and considering trading him out before he loses bulk cash?

So plan for next week is 1 round on wednesday (2 trades beforehand) and 2 rounds on the weekend (2 trades beforehand)

So 4 trades total for fixing up the burning dumpster fire of a team you all have

Could Purtell actually possibly be any shitter?

Can't believe big Will Mason is actually going okay in this thing. No world beater, but hovering around that 40 mark will do me.

Todd Carney back to earth too.

For now, too many other issues but his current run is annoying. I do remember him as a pretty frequent try scorer (but then again, that's how I remember Bowen) so I'm inclined to give him time. At the moment he seems to be pretty much scoring what he kicks.

Yeah, this'll be good. Only problem is all the good teams get it too, to make their monster squads more monstrous.

I'll open this up to anyyone who wants to pick the last man standing. Just a note Steve Bell will drop out in round 6 scoring 21 so don't pick him.

My vote is for Johns.

If not named lillyman and hannant are going. Will wait for the spreadsheet for targets as they will need to be cheap
