2018 NRL Dream Team Virtual Sports/Sports Deck (VSDT) Part 1

Jeez Milch that hurts. 691 with captain jturbo kikau and arrow.

on 699 with Arrow, Merrin, NBrown & Kikau to come. Expecting ~775.
Was surprised to see I came 24th for the round and am overall 39th atm in Sportsdeck..captaining Turbo last week played a big part!

They've responded every time I've contacted them with questions - sometimes takes a day or so. I'd be incredibly surprised if you are able to get that changed though. Even though I believe you, it would set a dangerous precedent to set as people could easily abuse that type of thing.

Milch, one thing they might be able to do (and to be honest I don't know how this works), but look at the activity on your account that led to him being not selected. Not sure if it will help in this instance, but one time there was a glitch on a gambling site I used and I ended up not getting the bet I wanted. It was like they were able to look at the buttons I clicked etc, to see that in fact what they processed was different to what I wanted. Perhaps the same thing could be done for you. But it would have to be a system glitch as opposed to your error.

R&t nice score mate

Awesome score Milch, I got close with 985. Made just the one trade this week - Surgess for Arrow. Genius!

Fantastic score mate, even without the Cook thing. Was it Lodge u ended up putting in for him? so therefore another 50 odd?

I'd for sure pursue it aye. It might even get you top ranking for the round?

One thing I don't like about this site, is that if you have 4 reserves and then you decide you want to change one, but instead of removing one first you just click a new one, it seems to randomly drop one of the existing ones. Any chance that could have happened? I've done it before thinking I was adding a forth to a missing spot but instead I ended up dropping someone I didn't want to for the new one. That being said, you would know if that happened because you would have still had 4 reserves, as opposed to 3 if you had accidentally dropped Cook or alternatively if it was a site error and he got dropped off.

Thanks mate, had most of the big scorers this week. Down side is my trades were so - so. Brought Taumalolo in for Whitehead which wasn't a disaster but I would have liked Taumalolo to hit at least 50. And I decided to go Cartwright to Maloney (instead of Merrin to JFH).

Oh well. Looks like JFH is a buy so I'll get him this week.

Just wondering what you guys think about the guns this year (longer term - not now)? In particular the forwards.

Im currently thinking in rough order:

Hookers: Cook, Macca, Smith (Friend if he can get 80 minutes)
FRF: Fifita, Taupau, McGuire, Burgess (a few others up there including Vaughan, Hess, Wallace, Kikau)
2RF: JTrbo, Arrow, Taumalolo, Harris, Brown, Murray (Mannering, Chrichton, Gallen)

If you guys had to stack your forwards today for the end of the season who would you grab?

Is that you Panda ?

Yeah, I got a bump up the rankings I wasn't expecting, into 14th now, was 7th for the round.

JFH seems like a trade I have to make this week. Just need to look at some numbers and figure out who for.

Outside of that I need to do some thinking too!

Im thinking about banking Dufty's price rises, mostly post that big one he put up and going to T Trbo while the jump is not that much.

That would give me the three best WFBs I reckon with the ability to bring in perhaps Mbye as a back up half/wfb (will have to cash put one of my halls to a dip wf/half at some point though.

Dufty has gone well, average ~45, but he's priced at ~46 and to be honest, I see his big score as an anomaly so I feel like he's more of a 40 point player. His scores this year have been 39, 22, 93, 46, 31.
Its poor statsmanship to discard the 93, but after watching him this year I don't really see that as a score he will likely put up every 5 weeks. I think instead that score might typically be replaced by a 60. Last week was pretty woeful as well albeit for that 20+ point play! I just don't have the confidence in him and Trbo is about 60k away so seems like a sensible move.

Duty's BE is 66 while T Trbo's is 16.

Still have a whole to plug in my Cs (hoping that can be Cotric) and would like to upgrade some forwards, in particular Macca and maybe Gallen or Mannering but those can wait. For now, pretty happy with my team who is projected to score 900 odd next week fwiw.

You guys are killing it!! I'm copping a dead set raping. 869 for the round was a nice improvement, but could have been so much better. Still last in L1. Can't believe my start this year.

847 this week. Thinking of going whitehead out for arrow as only trade this week
