2017 NRL.com Fantasy thread part 40

Traded in Norman today for Lamb. Love Fantasy.

Got 851. But own Turbo and Norman. Carnage!!

Who are people going to trade T Turbo into? No centre standing out atm.

850 with Brailey, Felise, Norman, RTS and Jayne.


But how?

Just caught up on both games, Smat with only 2 TBs lol that is madness he had 4 on his first try. Surprised Brown only scored in the 40s looked far more involved than that! Pre updates finished on 901 nice to have a decent finish to the week with Smat, Cotric, Brown, Whitehead and JWH. Thought JWH was a monster.

That includes RTS, Hayne, Kaufusi they made Frawley look like a gun!

860, which seems about par for the forum though went up a couple of hundred places to 500ish. Got fucked by RTS and Felise, which doesn't matter because everyone has them, but also by Norman and Aubs in the last game, which hurts.

Good 2nd half by Brown. He was on 15 at h/t & finished on 43. He had -10 points. He pulled finger in the 2nd half.

He had a heap of points added just after half time, saw a +8 appear a couple minutes into the second half.
Anyways it's probably lucky he got 80mins

The first 5 mins of the 2nd half he had a couple of good hitups including a tb & offload.

Up 1000 ranks and plenty of cash to grab some upgrades next week
Norman injury is poorly timed but aside from that I am relatively unscathed

I scored 841 no thanks to Kaufusi, Norman, RTS and Hayne. Surgess is saved my team this round. I only managed to move up 29 spots to 112. Closing in on the top 100!

Losing Norman is rough but hopefully there's a bucket load of others in the same situation.

Considering I've got Idris and TTrbo now as red dots, I'll probably look to bring in Fuimoano and cash out one of the two.

Unfortunately all my DPPs are screwed up as I've got Smat in CTRs, with Cotric, so the 2RF/CTR and WFB/CTR switches are stuffed.

In short - not sure.

Scored 832 & up 19 spots to 301 overall. Cook & Kelly the weak contributors to my score.

Geez, I just realised I'm likely going to have to play Lamb next week. That's going to be rough.

All the round 12 ctrs are not really scoring that well although Croker did well scoring 45 & atm the Raiders left edge is going better than Leipana. Also as discussed before now teams are kicking out to nullify Leipana. It reminds me of a tactic a couple of years (I can't remember the team) but to nullify the kick returns opposition teams were just kicking the ball dead in goal. The round 15 bye teams seem to have more in form ctrs. I'm looking at guys like Sione, Hurrell & Peachey. Tonight L. Mitchel went well but he's pretty inconsistent & could score 20 next game. Plus the Roosters had all the ball. I'm actually liking Hurrell. He's scored consecutive 50's & the Titans are intentionally giving him early ball so he can do his thing.

i'm seriously thinking about will hopoate. frees up some cash which is nice and also retains dpp, with decent byes.

edit: im going to wait til i hear how serious tturbo's injury is/how long out for - i didnt see it/havent caught a replay but doesn't sound great.

I scored 844 and went up another 1800 rankings (or 6000 rankings if I believe the ranking on the Fantasy home page, which has had me ranked anywhere between 87,000th and 2000th at different times this weekend).

The Norman thing is devastating and I don't think there is a single other player in my team that would have destroyed my team more to lose. I can't even think of anyone else worth replacing him with, except for non-Origin Pearce, which is not even a thing.

Don't go near him. His no playing on a Sunday policy will come into effect soon. I think in the next 8 games 4 are on a Sunday.

Still did well mate considering your weak links.

Your rank is also heading in the right direction.
