2016 NRL.com Fantasy thread part 30

Samoa v Tonga was the best of the weekend, started with thge pregame and into the match, top notch entertainment.

Baptiste has to be one of the dumbest footballers running around

Stupid beard on a stupid bald head plus the worst decision making ability ever!

Kurt. Do you even NRL?

Been sitting on Cody Walker thinking something might go wrong and suddenly he's back in the team. He scores points.
Then buy Lolohea the week he gets injured (hopefully back soon) Then teddie So many $$s out of play. Bloody rep round has given me so much time to think about what to do ..... I'm so confused.

HKR Cam Smith (VC) 118

2RF Kevin Proctor 59
HLF Cooper Cronk 45
CTR Greg Inglis (C) 210
WFB Darius Boyd 49

Looks like good going there. 428 for me.
How do we see the rankings? Reckon Inglis as (C) puts you up there.

I would have thought ability played it's hand here.

He was a very good footy player mate, certainly had the ability. Just didn't get to see him go on with it due to the injuries.

I remember that roughly 2 month period at the end of a season where he played HB alongside Benji at the Tigers, and we suddenly looked a force. New season starts and we release Mitch Brown, Teddy gets injured, Moltz goes blind or something and the rest is history. Felt like we should've stuck with Beau Ryan at the back and Moltz in the halves back then, but obviously the eye condition was unavoidable.

Agreed, much like Kahu in the sense only those who really knew his potential ever rated him. At least Kahu has had a great injury free run now.

Not the first to say that and sure as hell wont be the last.

Yeah, at the back end of 2009 and start of 2010 we looked unstoppable with Moltz and Benji in the halves. Up till 'that' game against the Cows where Moltz did his knee. I still remember the look on his face , and that was only the start of it for the poor bloke as far as a injuries went.

I got 449, put me ~ 1500th.

If u click on the team rankings tab it should show up. The guy that won it pretty much had the perfect side.

I have to say, while I only watched some of the Tonga Samoa game, and also parts of the PNG Fiji game, it really is a shame that the level of passion those guys showed doesn't seem to come through in the OZ NZ games anymore. I wonder if there is anyway to get back to that??

Was there any major fantasy relevant injuries to come out of the weekend?

Anyone see how Scott went for the Junior OZs?

Not sure if there are any Mothers on this message board but Happy Mother's Day to all Mums out there. Also a friendly reminder to call your Mum and tell her you love her!

Thinking of one more Dragon in my squad for the byes. Who scores more points, Mooper or Friz? (already have JDB)

Friz for origin if daley knew how to pick a side. I would hold off for now because mooper aint consistent 50s (before last week I would have said just get mooper)

Yeah good call. Will wait and watch

Has Ryan matterson only played 2 nrl games?

The channel nine commentary hasn't been clear on that fact, on several occassions

dont you hate it when your winger goes off in the first few minutes and his replacement goes on to scor the 3 tries he would have gotten.

Country should never have picked so many players out of position.

The 5 dropped from the Warriors punishment is over. They're free to be selected this week except for Big Manu who has been given a leave of absence.

But its unlikely that King Koni will play for the warriors again

If I heard correctly, Wairangi Koopu was on the radio today saying during his time at the Warriors and also the Storm use of prescription drugs was rife and several players got addicted. Mentioned sleeping pills mainly.

On what you've said above, yeah I heard that too, has it been confirmed for sure? I guess that means they didn't find one or more players had been distributing the pills. Im not sure I believe that, but its good I guess. That being said, maybe the Dr is giving out these pills a bit too flippantly. 5 dudes all on tramadol? Not sure I buy that.

Someone earlier was posting about Tohu Harris needing one more game at centre for dpp. Doesn't he need two more? When I looked at the lists on nrl.com he's only listed at centre in rounds 5 and 9. Can someone confirm?
