2017 NRL.COM Fantasy Thread 55

NRL PHYSIO @nrlphysio
James Tedesco confirmed out for @WestsTigers tomorrow. Was still struggling with direction change after lateral ankle ligament sprain

Making a luxury trade with 3 trades left and 9 rounds left to play.

Somebody likes to live dangerously.

Of course CS9 punches out a big score when he is in doubt to play

My team is doing OK this round... no real highs... no real lows. Lafai had a quiet game fantasy wise, but I'm not too fussed about that. Hopefully Taumalolo punches out a big score just to counter Smith's captaincy score in my work colleague's fantasy team

Was on 160 after 3 players and then the Broncos-Storm game happened. McGuire and Bromwich going down has literally ruined my week. Munster scored well but that was it.

Need another ton from Crichton to save my week :/

Hayne mcinness and jbrom so far. Avg at best and only gone from 950th to 1950th..I'll take that tbh

Smiths 74 makes crichtonne being my captain this week an even more interesting selection

Roughly how many points or ranks would you say you need to be within of the leader to say you have any chance of winning after round 19?

I was 950th roughly pre this round and will be loopholing and going with less popular captains every week now to see how high I can get!

So how many people are going to have only 17/18 playing from Round 20 onwards so they can loophole every week?

Silly season defining mistakes like not playing Scott last night are a real buzz kill. So rather then mope about it I thought Id turn that frown upside down and post some dancing avacados. Enjoy.

I wish...
I don't have enough trades to kill of some of my nprs.
Well I technically do have enough trades, but I need to keep some up my sleeve to cover for the inevitable injuries

Is Munster confirmed to play in Origin? Will only have Feeney playing with SJ on bye.

Not confirmed, but it seems like a sure thing. I'm down to one played Hlf as well next week

Apparently the weather is bad in Perth for the Warriors v Manly game.

Teddy being out is bloody annoying given there was not a lot of talk about it when I made him captain Friday morning.

Brought him in for Cotric but cant reverse the trade because he is my vice captain.

Straight swap for Cody Walker who I was going to leave out and VC Gallen to get things done.

TLDR: Fuck Teddy

Not fantasy relevant but 2GB just said Robbie Rochow and Dean Britt have swapped teams effective immediately

Any changes for roosters sharks? Cant find it anywhere!

pace put it up in the other thread. no big changes

OK, with Teddy out I have decided to kill off a couple of spots and use Leilua as my ae.

Here's hoping that Vaughan and Graham stay at the 4 week mark and no longer.

They've been updated on nrl.com but no link on the home page just to confuse matters

Ah thanks studogg
Nothing relevant anyways

Postponed my downgrade to next week. Didn't want to have to choose between LBrown or FBrown in my 17 this week. Just a shame Frown is playing actually or I could have picked a non scorer instead of LBrown and got Hayne as an AE.
