Only 13k in the bank. What would you do about katoa for the moment?

Katoa to Thompson
Niko to Williams?

On some level, you have to admire the NRL Fantasy facebook staff. They keep trying to make positive posts about their product, knowing that every comment is just going to be blasting them for having an incomplete product, but they still keep putting posts out there.

Uni students getting paid to put lipstick on a pig. Care factor of a Jimmy Maloney fantasy score.

Thompson with 4 KDs, thought that was FB job? Good going forward?

Lots of people trading Katoa to Thompson or Kennar. Not much mention of Isaako.
Good chance that Darius misses some game time and he gets the fullback role for a while.
He looked impressive last week without matching the scores of the other two. Add in a couple of tries and that changes.

So of griffin's minutes, how many extra came in gp?
Just trying to work out an expected base score week go week

Lb I suspect its "test out the rookie with bombs", most teams (read: not raiders) will try things like this as its smart, so I guess you could expect him to continue getting them at least for a while until he proves solid. Would be interesting to look back at Cotrics early scores and see if he had more early on

I think when he came off around the 65 minute mark he might have been on 53 or 54 points? I think he played the whole GP.

If Jesse ramien is named at Centre for the sharks this weekend, is he a look in?

A day later after another uninstall reinstall app still doesn't work on my Galaxy S6. As soon as I click on Play Fantasy crashes with NRL Fantasy keeps stopping. Any ideas. I have no issues with any apps on my phone but always with this crap

Thanks wolfy. So If we say 15 points comes from a try, he was on track for 40 or high 30's with no try and no gp

Is SST > Moses via Arrow and Carty a bad trade. Not a bad score from a guy who had a HIA and was sinbinned?, would leave me with

Smith
Arrow, Lodge
Merrin, RFM, Griffin
Croft, Moses
Aitken, Kennar
Teddy, Walker, Ponga

Cook, Rochow, Carty, Kikau
Nicholls, Havili, Hiku, Thompson

77k in the bank, worth a crack?

Came on with 3 minutes to go in regular time which wouldn't have happened if GP wasn't on the cards. I'd say an extra 12 minutes total

Won't make it through customs bro.

Haha, your psychic, how did you know

Yeah as scoregasms said he came on just before GP, that's right. Yeah, he would have had cracked the 40 in base stats. Guy is a beast. FOr Brown to bring him back on knowing the game was on the line is a good sign though. I thought Watson wasn't too bad at hooker but the whole Watson shifting and Lamb coming on did make things a bit chaotic for them. I think Griffin gonna be great and don't see him losing that spot at all. So much better than Levi.

Nikorima just has to go. The cash in my bank is burning a hole in my pocket, and I'm willing to accept I was wrong about him being under priced. He looked terrible, Milf seemed to be doing more of the kicking and general playmaking too.

Am I mad to consider Koroisau? Sam Williams feels like too much of a risk, and I didn't watch the raiders game to get a good read on him....though it would give me the money to go Bartwright to Gallen next week....

I came out with about 38 so - yep

Looks like Thompson (yes the guy I said in preseason would be lucky to make his break even from the wing) is this years first So I've got to get him right?    Can't do Katoa to him in one trade though. Seems I've already got most of the other "must haves" such as Kikau, Griffin, RFM, Kennar. Thoughts on this bunch?

Cook
Fifita Lodge
Brown Murray RFM
Croft Cartwright
Maubs Mitchell
Ted Ponga Katoa

Lichaa Griffin Arrow Havilii

Kikau Nicholls Kennar Croker  51k

I'm thinking:

1. No trades and just play Kennar and Kikau over Katoa and Havilii
2. Katoa to Isaako and play either Kennar or Isaako based on fixtures
3. Croft to Williams or Moses and Katoa to Thompson. Moses stats were really impressive - base stats good, km's good, only one goal, 22 minutes off the field and a sin bin, only 3 missed tackles which is good for him and plays round 13. Croft on the other hand is a real worry. Only one game but some worrying signs. Sideways?
4. Anyone got a better idea?

You may have talked me into Moses for SST haha

Amazing that unpaid randoms on the internet (no offense, MTVB) can put together workable match centres and stats centres in a couple of hours while the "professionals" miss the deadlines they've known about for months.

haha - certainly no offence taken. I starting throwing together my site on Friday afternoon, thanks to Milchcow for the idea to get it going. Honestly even if no one else used it, it has been useful to me to just follow live scoring while watching round 1.

Looks like the rogue guys are doing exactly what I intended to add to my site in the next couple of days.

I intend to keep adding stats and features, its obvs a work in progress. Next thing will be custom price predictor.

What about Williams instead of Moses? Solid stats
