Do you think the amount of work manly had to do in defence would have benefited him. Bulldogs had a lot of ball.

Definitely benefited him. Points aren't the reason I'm trading him in. He looks like playing the minutes he was at the back end of last year which makes him a great option regardless of last nights score

I own Taupau and even though he scored well last night i am pretty nervous going forward. He looked pretty gassed last night and i don't think he can handle those kind of minutes week in week out.

That's hardly an accurate way to score a player though is it? I feel like he did plenty so we'll give him 58, the other bloke didn't look great so he can have 15

Well okay I meant that NRLStats has him at 60m ran, 36 tackles and 3 misses. I much prefer their stats equalling up to 36 whereas Fantasy has him at 24. The scores don't always match up between the stats and their Fantasy score but if there's a 12 point difference between the two, I'd hope they could at least meet halfway and give him 30.

Now that's a farce, +32.

If JFH is named on the bench i might roll the dice and go for him instead of Packer... That 80k would be nice and i'm not really interested in either one of there scores as such but more so the money making ability.

He should get a nice rest when he gets a week or two for that shoulder charge

I really don't understand why people who aren't playing VSDT even look at NRLStats, they obviously have different definitions and aren't at all relevant to Fantasy. It's like your trying to give yourselves ulcers.

Happy that my POD Tom Turbo came off. Roberts less impressive. I didn't pay $350k+ for 22s dammit!

Yep there's that as well lol

The update is certainly owed, it's the live scoring that was the problem. He wasn't given any run meters during the game and he returned nearly all the kicks from deep. They were also very slow on the tackle breaks and I think kick defusals don't get added live. I watched him pretty close as I traded him in 5 minutes before lockout and was astounded his score wasn't moving. He had a couple of errors and a missed tackle but he was one of Manlys best. Also had a try save.

Edit: live scoring has become a farce in the last couple of years, almost to the point where it's not worth keeping an eye on. Just check it in the morning when it has gone final. But it is supposed to be part of the fun!

Haha sorry pal, couldn't resist

What happened to my post ??

Anyone else having there scores not adding up ?

3 scoring players 40,45,69 = 154

Total score shows 120. There's no way of adding any combination of those numbers to get 120

All good sportAL, just a bit miffed that people have had weeks to finalise theirs teams and yet are still allowed to chop and change as much as they like up until the player has played without penalty this first round

Is your issue with the updated score, the live score, the stats not being counted the way you'd like or the fact that you don't own him?

This is true but how do you work out that the official NRL fantasy site uses another provider and the "Non Official" NRL fantasy site uses NRL stats?

Scores haven't updated. (When players update in points last night, it hasn't reflected on your scores.)

The good folks at Fanhub looked at your team, decided it was rubbish and deducted points that they didn't think you deserved
I seem to remember something similar happening last year but it showed the correct total in league match ups but it's not even doing that this year.

Just the score, no problems with how the score is tallied, it's the same for everyone in this comp so why complain. i don't have Peats or Graham, no complaints from me

NRLStats is just the name of the company. As far as I'm aware they have no connection the the NRL other than making a quid out of watching games and compiling data.

It seemed like they had extra issues last night but kick defusals are never added live so fullbacks will always have a decent update. Coote was good for an extra 8-10 every week last year.
