2017 NRL.com Fantasy Thread Part 31

While the Dragons are crushing teams, Mcinnes just isnt getting the points for his price. Glad I dodged that one.

The knights might have their second win of the season next week!

Yeah Latrell to Leilua and Yates to Crichton for me this week. For once I am happy with my trades.

I have McInnes and it is pretty worrying. He is a workhorse but he's only had made 12 tackles because the Cowboys can't hang onto the goddamn ball. Just too much potential to trade him to anyone. His pricefalls don't bother me, still think he will be #2 hooker at years end, (assuming Macca eventually stops playing 80)

I still think that Macca will play 80 even with Niko on the bench. He has before and Bennett at the moment cant stop talking about how impressed with him he is

JDB is flying but will almost definitely be given a shower at 60 min mark youd think.

Great trades.
Makes my trade ins of Cody Walker and Frawley look even worse.

Dragons cant do anything wrong this game!

I agree with MF, think Macca will still find himself on the field even with Niko playing from the bench when Hunt returns. I don't think McInnes will be the #2 hooker tho. Even if Macca did only play 60. You're forgetting one C.Smith

Have McInnes as well and pretty frustrating watching because as mentioned the Cowboys just aren't offering any work for him to do by spilling the ball constantly.

But with the Chooks, Storm, Sharks coming up he should have a much busier workload.

Off already. Fingers crossed he comes back with some solid mins to go.

Just quietly, Widdop is looking to be a pretty good option at the moment. How long can the dragons keep this up?

He's energetic, backing up, offloading, goal kicking, general play kicking. Base stats galore. Simply got a bad wrap after last years debacle.

hmmm.

Is Vaughan coming back on?

Not watching the game, hate floggings.

Back on now mate for Sims

is haat Joel Thompson that just KO'd himself tackling TOLO?

JDB needs to come back on please...

I'm on track for my best score of the year

Alright. Game on now. Get JDB back on

I just don't understand it. In this game and in Sportsdeck I went in with the same research and the same strategy. Salary and DPP differences meant I made a few diferent selections but the core of my team was similar on both comps. And I run with a similar trade strategy in both as well.

Yet whilst in sportdeck I am top 20 and on track for another big 900+ score. In fantasy I suck will limp towards another crap heap this week and can't crack the top 3000.
Didn't help that I reversed what were the good trades this week in Fantasy and brought some rubbish in instead.
Anyway I'll be concentrating on the other comp from now on. Obviously wil still be trying in Fantasy to not stuf up the leagues and try and get a somewhat respectable final rank, but main efforts will be on the comp I can do well in.

I was counting on this being the game to lift my score this week. What a disappointment.

I've always found it interesting how one terrible call can lead to a complete momentum swing
