NRLFF 2006 Fantasy thread - Round 8+9. Just a little dirty, it's still good! it's still good!

Welshy is unstoppable

Having Albert playing rather than on the bench would have made me mid pack this week. No way to know which wings are going to get single digits or 2 tries for 70 each week.

Stoked with Gallen! Was expecting a 50-60 and him to still lose a little cash but I wanted those points.
For him to beat his break even is a special!

In other news, fuck Michael Gordon and Tame Tupou.

I was tossing up Aiton but couldn't see him scoring well with Priddis there.. eeugghhhh...
and Ben Roberts.... he's had a solid start.

Would love to know how many minutes Mannering played off the bench in that debut. I'm still very interested.

It's a 2 horse race with Welshy 1st on 6,635 overall points with Easy Tiger 2nd on 6,583. 3rd is Verbal on 6,258 & he is 325 points behind Easy Tiger.

Very happy with my starting props lately with Luke Douglas & David Shillington scoring pretty good especially Shillington.

My thoughts exactly. On the plus side his worst score is 32 and he's averaging in the 40's without any tries yet this season.

Doing the sums in my head thought I had 704. Likely on my phone I’ve misread a score or two. Happy for it to be double checked. Also happy to just take 713...

It’s not fair he clearly remembers stuff from 2006

I didn’t do too bad if you ignore the four shitto wingers I played and the one i didn’t (Albert). We can do that right?

Did you send me an updated team list? I think I missed it

Cam Smith is actually outside your 17 at the moment which I assume is not what you want, so I'll allow a reoordering.

Send me a PM if you think I've got the wrong team for you

Copy/paste of what I sent on Thurs (from my outbox)... not sure what’s gone wrong. Happy to reforward, take a screenshot or whatever for verification. Thanks!

It might be a one-horse race pretty soon, Welshy has comfortably beaten me in 3 of the last 4 rounds (the other I narrowly topped him by 7 points).
It doesn't help that I wasted about 60 points on the bench for 2 point Tupou (I guess you're going to get that with a rocks and diamonds type player) and 10 point Carney (I thought the Knights would trounce the Bunnies).

Thanks, so confirmed I’ve mugged myself 9 pts?

Hopefully rebounds in R9

Yeah, quite incredible. I had by far my best round and still couldn’t get within 150 points of him.

I'm starting to get impatient lol. But yeah base scores are solid.

If he wasn't playing origin I would likely set and forget him for solid base scores knowing that he's surely going to score a few tries this season. Origin makes it harder to consider keeping him vs players like JT and Smith.

Hahahaha watching Sean Garlick doing a live cross in the snow with kids throwing snowballs at him brings back memories.

Does anyone happen to remember Chris McIvor of sky TV NZ on the sideline at Mt Smart doing a live cross for a Warriors game and getting hit in the back of the head with a sausage roll?

No idea who could've thrown that
