2016 NRL.com Fantasy thread part 25

All week i was like thank the heavens i chose to offload Evans over Grant, especially with Woods and other frowards going down at the tigers, but now im not so sure it was the right decision, hate this game.

Well at least i made 930, have no injuries and have some money tied up at the moment in Parcell, Walker and Saifiti so not sure what to do this week.

With the updates I ended up at 894 and am amazingly somehow now at 889 in overall which is actually down 241 places from where I was last week but considering how crap Captain Fifita went I'll take slipping only a few hundred places.

Conclusion of Rd4 i was ranked 24.5k now im at 11k.
Doesnt come close to some of you lads but progress is being made.

On a side note how was Munster my lowest scoring WFB/CTR with 50, craziness indeed.

Week 1 19k+, Week 2 28k+, this week just inside 10k. Whoop!
Plenty to be disappointed with for the week but to make 906 and continue the slow climb in rankings, can't cry too hard.

812 after updates with auvaa emergency 6, parcell and blaw in the 17 and fifita captain, not bad with 10 over 50 but what could have been so much better with a decent scoring captain and tedesco and rts scoring so poorly.

Now who to trade, rts, parcell, Walker, garvey and desperately in need of a starting 9. Hopefully parcell fit to play but not holding my breath on that one.

Been out of action all weekend.
Was there any injury attached to the Fifita, Cartwright or Tedesco scores?

Updates were awesome
979 for the week
66th overall

# 1 in the fanatics overall group.

Smashing it, yay me,

One of my mates had the C on Friend... good on him
he hit 1020

Glad I didn't play against him h2h this week with my meager score of 820
I dropped like 3000 spots...

ah well, one of these rounds I'll get a big score

Carty is the overhyped Carter (fantasy wise). Lost 24 points in missed tackles, errors & pens conceded. I don't know if I can handle his volatility, however I have multiple problems elsewhere to fix, so he will have to stay.

Im with ya there bud. Dont really know what to do this week, guess it depends on whether Parcell and BLaw make an appearance.

Walker and Ferguson also a concern for different reasons

Carty played 80 but was terrible - I have a team littered with these frustrating fuckers. He missed 8 tackles, mostly arm grabs. Errors, penalties he did it all. And with the pissing rain he wasn't doing any offloads so had nothing to make up for it. Was well contained when he did manage to catch or hold the ball.

Teddy had his obligatory 15 minutes off for a concussion test and Storm didn't kick to him a lot in open field so he didn't get his usual updates from defusals and kick return metres. Just a quiet game against a good team, even if they are out of sorts. No real problem, he will have these occasionally.

Fifita, well I couldn't afford him so didnt watch him as closely, but once again just mostly well contained, limited tackle busts, if any. Also shot his mouth off and gave himself an extra penalty after conceding another. Maybe not as many flops as usual, not sure.

Thanks update gods, 948.
Up to 2494 overall, started year at 31,193

Going to be another fun week and sleepless nights of working out trades

Yep. I've got the Parcell & B Lawrence injury clouds. Along with the Rochow & RTS. Then I've got Saifiti, Carter & Turner who have all peaked. Taylor is close now that Roberts is back. Then I've got Cartwright doing his best impression of Carter. Not to mention Feeney & Henry, my two mascots - but they will stay in my side all season long as NPR's.

Although, I'm sure alot of you have most of these guys and there are surely people out there juggling multiple problems right now.

Joyous times

OPEN THE SHOP YOU FUCKERS I NEED TO SACK CARTWRIGHT *NOW*

Depth is there but just like you it's not for Round 12.  It will take a fair bit of time and luck to nut out trades over the next month.  

I see you managed to hold DCE?  That will come in handy over the next couple of weeks if TMM drops out and Taylor losing his KM's.

Yes hoping DCE can repay the faith if and when he returns. He should be a POD of sorts at least initially as most people seem to have flicked him. I thought I would save two trades as I figured I would get him back for the run in, and I usually seem to use 3-4 trades on Aubbo each year so I only really have 30 trades to start with! DCE's last game was finally showing some merit, fantasy wise, which probably helped save his bacon, along with all the other injury issues.

Shall we drool again ?

Thanks a lot for the rundown bud

But how good was the Liverpool game

Mate I lost my voice for 2 days!! I'm still on a high from it. That one is down in the history books along with Olympiacos 04', Istanbul 05' of amazing comebacks in recent times.

Dejan. Dejan. Dejan. Dejan.

Any chance Guerra moves to lock to accommodate cordner & maub keeps his 80min gig? Could do with a few more weeks of the black widow
