NRL Fantasy 2018 Thread Part 23

I'm 590/12 including C.
Friend was a huge disappointment. 52 tackles for a final score of 36

Ponga, Thompson and Arrow, and 2 of Griffin, Rochow and Lodge to play. Don't know who to leave out.

Magnificent score of 415 with captain Cam, JMK and Croker! Get on! Arrow, Griffin, Isaako, Ponga, Rochow and Arrow with Kikau as a pray and hope lodge has a mystery Illness

Not entirely related to the fact that I've brought him in, but i really hope verbal's captain choice pays off.

507/11 with captain. Middle of the road with all the cut-and-paste players (Arrow, Lodge, Isaako, Rochow Ponga,,Griffin) to come.

CS9 might not stay in my team this week

I’m thinking similar. Never usually trade a gun like him out but with some money in the bank I can get 2 guns for the price of 1 and given my current set are just not cutting it, I think I need more!

What’s your team look like??

I thought the Raiders were just a recruitment club for the rest of the Nrl ?

Look like ? You mean as this round unfolds ?  Im 14 down for 609 captain played and only Griffin Ponga Isaako to come. Have really avoided alot of the shite, except for NAS low score. But he's not a problem, been a gud pick.

Kearney's Warriors success this season shouldn't come as so much of a surprise, after his success as a Kiwis coach and looking at the squad he has managed to form as contracts have rolled off to replace them with current and former Kiwis.

RTS, Beale, SJ, Kata, Hiku, Mannering, Blair, Luke, Harris, Fusitua, a total of 10 current or former Kiwi internationals, from a period when the Kiwis have done pretty well.

3 of them didn't even play today and RTS played injured. Will be really thumping some teams this year when back to full strength (and if they don't take penalty kicks every time they get them near the opposition 20 )

Far out, what a shit week this has been.

438/9. Widdop, Aitken, Ponga, Griffin, Rochow, Thompson, Isaako and Lodge to come.

I brought Friend in this week, but was reasonably happy with it, much better than Rapana who I traded out for him. With that many tackles each week, 36 would definitely be the floor for him.

If you can get really good but underperforming players like Blair and Luke to actually play, along with solid, consistent forwards like Harris and Mannering then, yes, SJ and Fus and RTS should make hay. Green is a great buy too, just a smart, mature footballer.

Do wonder if Mannering is going to maintain fantasy gun status when he comes back now he hasn't got a whole pack's worth of work to do.

Updates are through on the NRL app.

There's a prop who's averaging 70 minutes and 48 points over the last 3 games, priced at 38 average next round. He also plays round 13.

JFH

Nope. He's averaging more than JFH and has under 1% ownership. Completely under the radar.

AFB ?

Nope. He's clearly so under the radar nobody can figure it out even when I've given all the stats. Starting to doubt he exists. He was at $535k this week.
