Haven't seen too many blowing up about feeney?

715 which I think was about my highest score last year, so other than taking Welshy's advise.

Happy Days.

LAM or Leuluai for Carter ?

Hmm, If I played different reserves I would have scored 53 more points (Hindsight I know I know, still sucks). That coupled with Parker, Surgess, Smith all scoring less than I'd hoped... I guess it's not completely doom and gloom.

A couple of my risks can get a week or two more to before I need to make any decisions there... hmm maybe I'll end up holding this week despite my Shite score. Unlikely knowing my weakness for trades but maybe, just maybe, I can convince myself

By the time Feeney came around to play we already lost an arm, a couple knees, an eyesocket and a leg...

Knights were shit, and the rain didn't help the handling out there.

You probably couldn't play in worse conditions for a first time fullback

Slater did not score 1 point in the 2nd half lol & I own him.

I'm counting on your judgment

Alex Glenn into the centres. Would be a juicy DPP.

Feeney is all about expectations. I (and probably a fair few others) had fuck all expectations of him given the conditions, Rookie status and playing for the Knights. I'm far more dissapointed in Mitchell tbh. Didn't watch the game but I expected more than 54m and 0 TB's regardless of how his team went. Always traded him in the hope he moves to FB after a few rounds and any scores before than were a bonus, but still...

Why switch Glenn when Opacic is ready?

But is he likely to play 4 games there with the pommie returning.

So was there an injury concern with LAM? I only saw last 20min of game and was wondering why he was off so long. Looks like the talk of too many second rowers in the dragons was spot on

On 675 at the moment.

If all my player reached their BE my score would be 695

9 out of my 17 scored below BE, the worst offender being Surgess (-14)



The only way is up from here...

I suppose you could of gone with JDB or Cooper for $100 k more and had pretty much the same output as LAM

or you could could just wait a few rounds for everything to settle down

Bah, was hoping for 730 but I come home to find I didn't crack 700. Hopefully Slater gets some update points.

My late trade of LAM out, Packer in seems to have been the right call though. I managed to miss both the Fanatics POD specials, I don't have Whitehead either.

What's happened? I'm flying blind here!

Didn't you ever get told that would happen

I didn't realise people are unhappy with Whitehead, did they watch the game or just going by the fantasy stats/score? Got better as the game went on defence wise, busted his ass for 80min in 35 degrees and looks like 32 will be his rock bottom.

I know he had a fair few missed tackles in SL, but I think that will be improved as part of his development in the NRL. Doubt he will give away 2 penalties every week either (the two he did give looked to be just silly decisions caused by fatigue). Just improving there should bump him up towards 40, then you look at his offensive stats for the game.... I guarantee that improves.

Edit: LAM on the other hand is a much bigger concern for me, because his score was less about him as a player and more about the team dynamics and his coach... things he can't do a lot to improve. Dodgy/Inconsistent minutes scare me more than most things fantasy wise.

Worth noting:

Average discrepancy between NRL Fantasy score and Supercoach score for fullbacks this round is 7 points.

Slater 15 NF, 53 SC
Mann 25 NF, 53 SC

Probably some big updates from them to come, as is usual for fullbacks.
