2016 NRL.com Fantasy Thread Part 37

How much did Surgess end up?

92 from surgess? Surely he didn't go that big.. That's a hell of a score with no attacking points. Also what a ripper of a game. Poor rabbits, you would have to think their field goal wins it if it was played last year

Would someone mind posting a screen shot of the end of game numbers - sounds like a pretty exciting list of scores.

Cancel that, I see I can get them on the NRL site now. Cheers

That's what I said at the outset - won't the trades be time-stamped so easy to work out which took place during the game.

Dont count on it. Last time this happened they had to create a whole new comp half way through. Looks like this season will be another fuck up. Heaps would of done it. Thats why the site is fucked now, they dont know what to do. Controversy and allegations will again overshadow this years season.

I thought that was Brown?
Either way it should've been a penalty.

Well with all this trading James talk, I'm glad I'll have the backing of this forum as 70% of my decision yesterday to trade grevs to James was influenced by you guys. Very much loving the move


Also (c) Burgess but had to deal with a Roberts 14 and ese'ese 11 but overall I'm pleased

Great work Welshy.
If you would be kind enough to tell me this weeks lotto numbers i'd be most appreciative.

haha! I was tossing up between James and Bromwich and went with James due to a few of the posters on here edging me there for POD purposes! Was spewing when I seen JBrom and his 72 but feeling pretty happy with it now

Don't tell me it's another 2014. I'm sick of these cheating snivelling counts ruining it for everyone. At least last time it was R1 so I could care less, but 13 rounds in? ffs

Is everyone taking the piss ? Its ok to loophole ur captain but any switches are off limits ?? Rollong on the floor here.

What a great game. A. Taylor is some footballer. It's going to be interesting next year when Elgey is fit & they have to start 2 out of Roberts, Taylor & Elgey.
I had McInnes & James lined up for most of the week but ended up going ET & Fifita.

Last time it was probably worse, being able to completely trade a new team in that you could start the year with 1000 score etc

What happened in 2014??

Surely you aren't saying they won't fix this... i.e. there is a precedent set in 2014?

I would have thought if something similar happened a few years back then they would have learnt form that and at the very least figured out a way to reverse anything that wasn't done within the rules.

Disappointing if that is the case.

I quit last time. I'll do it again if it is proven that this has happened again. I'll never play fantasy again either.

I don't 100% agree with the loophole but it's been there for years and they know about it, trading in locked out players due to a bug is blatant cheating

The loophole (sadly) is part of the game and has been talked about by everyone, including LS in his NRL article. By switch you don't mean trade - cause that is a whole new thing...

On the plus side, it's the second last game of the round, trades are hard to reverse, and James is expensive so you'd need plenty of spare coin too. And even after those conditions have been met, you've got to me a massive fucken cheat.

I think it's unlikely that more than a handful traded James in illegitimate, and they should be easy to find and reverse/ban.

They will lose a fair amount of players, they have to put in the work to fix it and make it fair

There will be a lot of people who tried to make trades or even substitutes prior to both of today's games but couldn't due to the site being down.
They will think they are justified in doing it on the sly. 
Fanhub have a very difficult job ahead.

Did anyone here actually make a trade during the games tonight?
