2018 NRL.com Fantasy thread part 19

Enchanted Glossy Flamingo wrote:I picked up Milf as a POD and as a Broncos fan and the last two games I've been pretty happy with him. Last year his kick metres hovered between 100-200 but in 1 & 2 this year he's kicked 200+ and then 350 last night.

57 last week and 48 this week, with zero tries, TA, LBAs which will all come in good time.

Could be a good Croft = Milford getout stakes switch for some

Greetings from the Philippines. I'm stuck here with pathetic internet. I can't view video or listen to radio, I can barely view posts made here as I need to keep reloading pages until a page downloads properly. NRL Fantasy doesn't work when I need it nor does the fantasy site. I just hope I don't need to trade, I'd be up shit creek without a paddle then.

Signing off for a couple of weeks, hopefully this post gets through with a few refreshes.

Go Tiges, sounds like you were shafted last night, but we have to keep the league darlings happy north of the border, the world would have ended if the Tigers won 3 unwinnable matches in a row, so everything is normal again

Happy B'day SI

Shit, sorry @Loomer bro! I knew it was one of our wiser heads but unsure which. My apologies fella. Cannot agree with you more tho. Seeing as I have a lot of time on my hands today til the footy starts I've dedicated it to researching such things.

Panthers get down 14—0 each week...

Kikau comes on...

And the comeback starts.

Maybe it would be better for them to start with Kikau?

If ya need anyone to watch your team @bluetige be happy to help out mate.

Happy Birthday! @SI

Hope you and all your alts have a great day.

Happy Birthday SI...........

Wish I pulled the trigger on this one earlier. Was looking at the next few weeks.

No doubt you as a good judge MS

Same boat. Though i hate moaning about shoulda' woulda' coulda', I just wanted one more week to decide between Mbye and Dufty for the final WFB spot. Never dreamed he would put 80k on his pricetag and now I doubt I can afford him. You live you learn.

Hopefully Murray justifies my trade of Bromwich for him, since Bromwich pulled his finger out and got a decent score (which is what seems to happen to me a lot). I ended up not pulling the trigger on Benjis brother for Katoa which could be a mistake. I am on 320 with 6 players played including Captain CS9 but JT is a concern. Got a great score last week but I feel they will be pretty rare but at his price I am not sure what my options will be.

Price rise gonna be too high to make him a realistic target for me. Would rather lock in a SJ/Cleary/DCE in the halves and sit tight with Ponga/Dufty/Edwards at the back.

Crap had Kikau and Rochow in emergency. Oh well.

We all will be interested to see how bad N.Cleary's knee is. Hope it's not too serious.....................

Saw this morning 4-6 weeks which sounds about right for a low grade medial strain

I hate sideways trading but I can’t deal with Merrin only playing 40 mins.

I want consistency from my expensive players.

Should have enough cash in the bank to trade him to DCE or Brown.

Do I pull the trigger?

Took my chances running isaako and Kikau in my 17 again this week. 277/5 with cap smith. Merrin doing a Merrin doesn’t help. I reckon hiku is in for 40+ again this week.

Mbye scored 94 rd 2 two seasons ago with 2 tries 11 Tbs then plodded along for rest of season.

Last season high score 65 in clutch of 4 games around low 60s and most TB in a game was 5. Who could see 17 TB game coming. 4 and 2 against Storm and Roosters decent defensive sides but still.

Maybe not outlier and all because switch to FB but could be repeat of 2016

Happy with result (as a Broncos fan) but unhappy how it come about (regardless of the ref decision) Extra time should be 10min each way with Golden try, or if no try is scored, highest score at end of 20 min. Also if a team chooses to scores a pen goal or field goal it does give the opposition a chance to respond and potentially take out the game. Not only would it stop your classic 'dropgoalaton' but it would provide a platform for alternative tactics from different teams. Do you go conservative and take the lead with a drop goal or go for the straight out win with a try? Can only lead to a more exciting climax where a bad penalty call by a ref may not necessarily decide the outcome of the game.
