2017 NRL.com Fantasy Thread Part 59

Chewie wrote:So who are veryone's PODs for the final rounds?

I have Podene and Lafai as my low ownership PODs

Looking at my 17, the only player I have that is lower than 10% ownership is Croker. Next best is Semi who isn't even in my 17. I'm thinking Slater and Kaufusi could somewhat be POD's as I think most of the high ownership would come from players that stopped playing weeks ago.

Looks like I'll need to think about some more POD action with my last 5 trades.

The way he's been scoring lately I don't think you have anything to worry about Chewie.

Surgess probably busts a 70 just to suck us all back in.

I make an effort to make this place more than just fantasy talk and talk the sport in general. A lot of the old boys view more than this thread, would appreciate if some of the newer members took a stroll around. Trying to build a community on more than just fantasy and be the premier Rugby League forum in the world.

It's not unusual to read things here first before the so called journalists publish them.

So boo fuckin hoo you have alcohol & drug problems. Stop thinking about yourself & your pain you ass hole & just think the pain & misery you're are going to leave for your family & friends who will have to deal with your death for the rest of their lives.

This right here is why there needs to be more education around mental illness. Alcohol and drug problems are a way to self medicate to mask what's going on in their brain. Imagine your mind telling you all these fucked up things on a daily basis. You have zero control over it. It's not a matter of "I'm sad I'll do drugs" these people know exactly how much pain they'll cause and they still do it it - so imagine what the fuck they're going through.

This type of comment is part of the reason why people find it so hard to come out and talk about it. I'd suggest doing some research into mental illness to better understand it.

WL has since posted that it didn't quite come across as he meant it to.

for HS

So is the general opinion on Pearce that he won't go so well without Friend/Roosters struggling... any evidence backing this up? Thought he was pretty solid on the kick-metres for base stats and no Friend will only help this?

I've only ever watched one Ep of Game of Thrones.. am I weird?

I've never watched a single episode and really have no idea what it's about at all.

Yeah, never seen GoT myself either. I'm aware that everyone seems to love it but to be honest I will probably never watch it.

Yes! People I can relate with

I only have 2 players with under 10% ownership - Gurgess and Mitch Moses, hopefully neither of whom will be in my top 17 from next week. Moses I might throw into the team occasionally if I think it's a good matchup for him.

Dragons. Boobs. Ice Zombies. Boobs. Sword Fights. Boobs. Power struggles. Boobs.

There's a few titties aswell.

Yeah I was gonna say something similar. If you like tits and fights then it's the show for you.
Battle of the bastards was epic.

It is honestly like crack to me and not just for the tits and fights.

Sounds like PornHub finally has a few new genres.

I'd laugh if both Surgess AND Crichton were out tonight.

The dialogue is pretty sharp and they do big set pieces better then any other tv show has ever done them. Every battle looks and sounds epic.

Spoiler:

Sitting at a little over 10% ownership.

Would've thought he'd be higher and maybe he will with Johnson out now.

I love it when its time to get the Johnson out !
