2018 NRL.com Fantasy Thread Part 6

Its more that carrying a 228k WFB in my reserves allows me to select everyone that I want in the rest of my 20 and leave pretty much nobody out.

So between Kennar, Isaako, Fonua and Thompson he would still be the pick of the bunch.
I will always choose the FB, even if it is an average one.

That said, I think this is all moot because Lolohea will be playing FB round 1.
But a man can dream.

Only 10 points? Sounds like you think they get too much of advantage as it currently stands. I'd say if you put the TPA rorts and Bronco Night Footy in terms of season points you probably get much more than a 10 point leg up

get a dog up ya i was devastated to find out the Bronx only have FOUR Thaiday Night Football games at suncorp this year. we have been rorted again my friends.

Will be replace the FRF or the 2RF? Does it depend on the order in which the 2 players pulled out?

I would say whoevers game is first, and depending on how you rank your reserves this may determine whether you have cover. If I had only Josh McGuire as cover for FRF I would put him in position 17, then put a 2RF in any position from 14-16. So I would be treating McGuire as a FRF because I have more risk there with no-one else to cover, and I don't need him as 1st cover for second row because I still get his points for him being on the bench.

In saying this those people that watch most games and find out before the game can always sub them anyway.

Do the Sharks even know that a whole shitload of fantasy nerds are eagerly awaiting their trial team list? bloody hell.

Common sense would say that the highest ranked player (in the correct position) in 14-17 (or failing that, 18-21) would replace the first player to require the auto emergency....

(at least that's how I see it)

But what if McGuire is your best sub? You don't want a lower scoring second rower to come in first if a 2rf doesn't play.

Wonder what happens if it's the last game and all your bench and emergency players have played. Surely you'd still get the points.

I asked you a similar question which you may not have seen or I may not have seen the response. If you have Carty in 14-17 and a half goes down on Friday, then a 2FR goes down on Sunday and you have Croker in 18-21, do you play a man short or does Carty move to 2RF and Croker into half ?

That is the point of ranked subs. Only way you don't get the points is if you have no one in that position on the bench.

Rules don't specify what order subs are made. Might need to clear it up with lone scout

Highest ranked WFB from 14-21 will go into starting position (you only have one so that would be Dufty), then no.18 will replace him on your bench if Dufty was in any position from 14-17.

Makes sense, thanks.

Ah yes, I completely forgot about the ranked subs. Hopefully can just catch all the teamlists so we can manually change players so we don't have to worry.

I guess Carty goes into HLF, then when the 2RF dosen’t play Carty moves into 2RF, and Croker fills the HLF spot? Im not even sure emergency players can move positions

I have a feeling this system might be a complete ballsup once we get going.

Anyone got a link to any sites with trials games stats?

League live app has them for the WCC games. They are posted somewhere on the last thread.

I expect for this weekend we might get stats for the Charity Shield and the Storm/Cowboys game, but wouldn't expect more than that

Sanjay and Ramesh are still on holidays???

Actually it's more likely that they are part of the judging panels at the winter olympics in South Korea making some coin on the side

Opacic or Isaako will be one of my cheapies once I know who will be starting. It all depends if Oates plays as a forward come round 1 or if he goes back to the wing, who knows with Wayne. I think Isaako would play over Opacic with Kahu shifted to the centres.

You just need to make sure you have a bench player covering every position. A lot of people will forget this lol

Explains the mens aerial result. They put the Chinese skier down for a tackle break not a fall
