2018 NRL.com Fantasy Thread Part 21

my interest in this format is waining (sp) so roll the dice time smith to murray and carty to mbye.

I can't shake the feeling that this is like CP13's penultimate year and smith will be surpassed by cook and mccullogh

mbye i want in fullback but will wait until i decide on inglis.

We haven't done them for a few years since they were displayed as tables by FanHub. Obviously we can't see them at the moment so hopefully they are available soon.

But didn't Parker's scores suffer due to the change in role or was that not his second last year?

Cheers lads, stick with Isaako and hope he goes well.

I'm selling Smith to Murray & Carty to DCE & captaining Jurbo as he's all base stats which guarantees a 50's score.

Seriously though thoughts about that rumour Croker dropped only temporary? Think I'm going to reverse and do original trade of selling Carty

except in 33% of the games this year we he made fewer than 30 tackles, played less than 70min, scored a try, LB, LBA 2 offloads (100% of the year thisfar) and 1 TB (50% of his year's total).

But i'm just being a jerk, I'd do the same if I had him, Cooks my best I think

I can't find it but I'd be happy to post updates for L4.

L4 is on 36,894 points.

AVG = 2306 points/ team
      = 768.625 points/ team/ round

Best performer is "qazwsx" who is in 449th on 2389 points

Would be happy to update regularly if you are interested (maybe in a seperate thread)

Nice one

Total points 36,069 (boo)

Yeah I have Cook too & playing his old club I could be swayed from Jurbo to Cook for captain.

I'm ahead in the H2H ladder but 8th overall in 4537th possy

Pfft, who cares about the H2H ladder

JMK or Hastings for cash-cowing this week?

This guy

I really dont get the I dont loophole talk.

This isnt Dave Warner ball tampering, its part of the game and is just another element of scoring. no different to selecting a captain and getting double points.

Do you guys go into a shop and pay full retail for an item even when its on sale ?

If the above comparisons really match to you, you are really struggling. Nuff said here.

You've got about as good idea as us. To be in the safe side though I'm trading Nicholls instead of Croker. Forego the Nicholls 10k price rise to see what's happening with croker

Loomer wrote:

I think that Croker is not being dropped based on form, I feel there is an underlying issue whether it be the rumour he failed the HIA or whether he has other niggling injuries. My plan is to hold a week, see what TLT or news is next week and go from there. Also gives me another chance to look at JMK

This is my team after trades.

Been a poor few weeks to start to year but I feel it will get better from here.

Any pointers

Cook
Arrow Lodge
Faitala-Mariner Murray (C) Matterson
Mbye Townsend
Isaako Inglis
Ponga Tedesco Marshall-King

Smith Griffin Rochow Doueihi

Kikau Cartwirght Fualalo Kennar

I'm keeping Carty
