Trials and Tribulations of an NRL Fantasy coach 2017 - Round 14 Trades update 08/06

Welshy wrote:Suck it up Booze

tough to follow up the monster year you had last year, just have to keep plugging away

on a personal note i have been tucked up 76 points on the McCullough debacle, made countless shit trades and I'm doing appalingly in the overall rankings (5000+)

I have never finished outside 1200, but you just carry on

Do you remain calm though?

Was just checking some things and thought I would at least reply to everyone in one hit

Health is fine, not quitting my team for sake of League's so don't need to worry there or effect the league.

Simply put, I don't enjoy this game anymore and the way it is scored, which causes me to not enjoy watching the games either. After a few drinks I opted for the simplest solution to fix this.

Gone are the intricacies of working out players roles and minutes and measurable stats with which I enjoyed, instead replaced by how many tackles you can break. This is simply my opinion of what I don't enjoy about this and will know this will divide people. Have mentioned it multiple times all year and would rather not drag the forum through another rant

In regards to last year being big, have finished well most years and still a while to go so who knows what will happen

Bourbon Brothers 256th (2014),
Can't remember 2013 but was in Sportal L2 for 2014 so would have been similar
One Nut Warrior's 202nd (2012)

So cheers for all the good times, I can't restore my account even if I wanted so made a throw away one just to at least put some closure here.

Would love to see u back mate, but can also understand the reasons u have given.
Maybe a fresh approach/outlook for next season, spell.in the paddock in the offseason.

In rd 13 I had 5 late and unexpected withdrawals and my score for the week had me ranked at around the 70k mark. I dropped over 3000 spots overall.
I was pissed off and really disheartened.
However as a member of countless high ranking leagues, felt it important to continue.
I know you will do the same.

Thanks for posting your R14 results Boozey.

Round 15 Trades

291k remaining

Curtis Scott
Frees up cash for other upgrades, should play 2 major byes

K Laybutt
Should be the dominant play maker and get some decent KM, also frees up cash

Round 15 Byes

388/4 pending updates

(VC) Chrichton, Farah, CWalker, Fuimaono

Was always the plan to (VC) Chrichton, was tempted to even trade Surgess as well but lockout beat me to it (to someone like Finucane or Harris).
Only 1/4 of the way through this round, plenty of time for it to go to shit so will see what happens

Anyways jumped on to update the byes and trades etc, so at least to keep it updated
Off to see the Sharks tomorrow, have taken the app off my phone so can enjoy the game and not check scores etc haha.

Have a good weekend and enjoy the footy all

I'm sure you enjoyed the result of the Sharks game on the weekend but leaving it to the last minute like that, must have been nerve-racking.

Nail biter that's for sure. Somehow they keep winning these ugly games which makes it tough to watch the first 60 mins haha.
I reckon their fitness is amazing this year, it's this that gets them get back into the game late in the first half and in the second.
You can see the intensity lift and from there things happen
Just need to start better, but a wins a win.

Round 16 trades

Nathan Cleary
Great base stats, no more byes and the Panthers are starting to play well so banking on a big end to the year. 10% ownership so a reasonable POD and allows me to move Munster back to WFB

Dylan Edwards
Has scored well in 3 games without scoring a try, potential cut price keeper without any byes.
Due to Hiku leaving as well means he should hopefully remain at fullback, also gives me another starter or an 18th man depending on form of others.

Team for remaining byes 64k in bank



Team for this week =

Mcinnes
Taupau,Fifita,Tetevano
Gallen,Taumalolo,Merrin
DCE,Cleary,Laybutt
Aubo,Hayne,Scott
RTS,Edwards,Munster,M Watene Zelezniak

Possible reserve swap in Fogarty if named

Nice comeback over the past two rounds (R15 and R16) Boozey.

You are looking ok for R18 and R19 atm, although you will probably lose Munster in R18 to Origin, and, if you are unlucky, maybe Merrin.

Yeah there is a couple potential origin callups but will just have to cross my fingers and hope they aren't picked.
