NRL Fantasy Part 76

Besides the try, DCE has been really quiet, almost non-existent.

Great track from a great film.

You were worried Ponga, Mann and Talau wouldn’t make 71 points between them. Lord knows why, when Ponga always a shout to do that alone. Anyway, reached it in about 30 mins. Ya damn foolish pessimist!

Considering how much my team has been absolutely destroyed in the past 3 weeks, of course I'm a pessimist. I was expecting a low score from Ponga because I thought Manly would be better than they have been

Would be great if manly could hold onto the ball

What a great try from nothing on

Ponga is matchup proof, only been held below 50 twice this season.
I am running 16 men with Sironen, Starling, HTF and Talau in the 17 whilst $2.2 million sits on my bench in red dots. But I’ve noticed that this doesn’t effect the morale of my guns and they don’t score unders because of it. Have some faith in ya boys!

Really wanted to punt on Holy Moley but couldn't risk on 5 trades left. Already 13 from 16 mins

I don't think Ponga is matchup-proof, and Manly held him to sub 20 last time they met, I wasn't expecting much from him.

Who are people playing between McIntyre & Talau

Halves and Fullbacks tend to score better in the 2nd half of the game...

I meant in general, didn't impact the game at all besides the try.

That's a try all day

McIntyre myself as I think Dogs will win over Tigers and hence Talau is unlikely to score. McIntyre usually plays 35-40 minutes off the bench so still should get 30 points.

Really liking the look of Barnett, heavily involved and getting plenty of minutes. Could be a steal next week

You know, sometimes a player from the losing team can actually score a try. Its not like the Dogs defence is that great.

That was quite obviously to me lost forward into Parker's arm. Very surprised to see that overturned.

So he has ran riot through most teams this season but Manly and to a lesser extent The Cowboys had figured him out? It has been mentioned numerous times, but I really don’t think matchups are a thing in fantasy. Seems to be some kind of psychological bias we get as players which results in people captaining Teddy against the Dragons for 20 points.

That Tigers bench should mean good minutes for McIntyre. What a light bench though.
