2016 NRL.com Fantasy thread part 19

Tim Mannah getting a 5 this week. Might be a nice trade in for origin with the coming price drops

Walls of Barbaco

Just checked my scores and something weird has happened I tell you. I'm at rank 4015 and I've somehow got 792 points despite Carter and Cartwright scoring crap all and picking Gutherson as a reserve over A Taylor or Saifiti. Not to mention two of my regular scorers in Surgess and CLaw

Looked like Walls of Jericho to me

I'll take a 750 + pre updates without Surgess, Taupau and the MNCC striking

Well fuck me, the nrl.com site loads for me for the first time all week, after full lockout obviously, and naturally the fantasy site decides to crash now instead.

Annoyingly, I probably would've scraped the win depending on updates if I'd gone with POD J Friend rather than the rest of the crowd with Smith. Or if just one of the aforementioned 3 bag of dick eaters knocked out another 20 points.

Correction, lost by 9 points pre-update. Carter, Cartwright, Harris You too, Paasi

The trouble with that is the only 2 teams with a bye in round 16 is Eels and Roosters.

Yep can't access the site at all

Well shit then there's just no luck in Fantasy this year is there?

Just snuck over 800 pending updates. Will be trading in two keepers this coming week for Evans and Cartwright. Probably go Parker and Fifita.

Someone in the pre season posted a link from Renegades I think detailing how fucked the bye system is this year from a fantasy perspective. Literally shit in terms of teams with favourable schedules as the ones that you want to load up on all have byes the following week at the same time or something like that. Without having a detailed look I think the best approach this year may be to limit your losses during the bye round rather than trying to make gains

I wouldn't be trading Smith, no way no how!

succumb to the MNCC tonight and although we all hoped for more than 55 out of a captain cant really complain when his team scored the grand total of 6 points

outscored fellow uber Gun Fifita tonight

I may hang onto Evans. Good 18th man when you need to bank a 30.


For now.

826 and ranked 182 pre updates*

I'm aiming for a descent score in the first bye round... and limit the losses the next rounds.

Capt cam doesnt make me feel so bad about my Capt this week.

Now, like most of us, need to work out what are the 2 most important bangages to apply.

My 18th man would be Saifiti or Barba or someone.

Like a barracuda! Go you mighty fish go!

I won all my h2h games this week... might have climbed the ladder a bit. Hoping to have closed the gap with the top a bit. I exactly 300pnts behind on number 1 last week.

Managed to get close to 800 with 3 below 20 scores in my 17
