2018 NRL.com Fantasy thread part 27

968 for the round.

Rank 128

932 for the round. Moved into top 100 at 85th now. Probably beginners luck and expecting a sharp fall down the rankings soon enough.

944 for 309th

Stay humble and filter through the advice of the vets around here and you'll do good WT! Keep it up lad.

100% my ranking is luck. I expect to finish in the 10000s still

Ranked 150 now. Feel a nose bleed coming on!

In league 9, my score of 936 would seems like it would have got me over the line against everyone else except the team I happened to play. Instead I got smoked by Always put a Koni on who scored 995. gotta love it.

Jeez reading these scores make me wonder what the fuck I'm doing wrong haha.

940 for me, halved my overall to 1100, could've hit the magic 1k if i kept my original trade, but i changed my Carty trade from DCE to Maloney mid-weekend so i would have the money to chase a couple of the bottomed out guns next week, time will tell if that pays off

ended up updating over 800. pumped.

Those updates take me to 911. Jurbo(c) cost me & I did CS9 to DCE but gained on that. I might go Jurbo to Fifita, SJ or Turbo this week. Fifita plays round 13 so it might be him. I've owned Jurbo since round 1 but the way he just floats around annoys me.

Just luck some weeks mate.

If I'd not changed my team at all from last week (the team that scored 713), I would've scored around 950 this week. You have the experience, so you'll bounce back.

Looks like Wighton will still be named.

Yeah mate, I know. Just struggling to keep up with the big boys this season so far. Keep plugging away.

You'll be right wolfie. Luck plays a big part, so does keeping Smith

Wighton is facing nine charges, expected to range from affray to assault, after an incident outside a Civic nightclub on February 3, with court proceedings to begin on Wednesday morning.

nine charges from single incident? that's kinda ...impressive? more effort than shown on field anyway

Indeed mate haha.

830, was screwed by Friend getting low minutes as my captain. Anyone else I could have possibly chosen that was in my team went huge. All the players with high ownership in my team went huge, that everyone else was captaining this round, all my PODs crashed and burned. Carnage.

To be honest I'm not sure the NRL understand what Fantasy does for them.  Now this may sound silly, but I'd say each game gets an extra 10,000 views a week just from Fantasy nuts.  I used to watch 1 or 2 games a week before 2008/2009 when I discovered DT.

@Code Delta as well
To be fair the only reason I have foxtel is so I can watch the NRL haha, I even turn sport off once the season finishes.
Before I would only watch a game or two and prior to that mainly watched Union so this is partly the reason I am a 'fan' these days
When I moved to Australia I became a sharks member and even go to most home games

So 100% that fantasy plays a large part in people watching more games and having the official NRL badge attached to this means surely they have to be aware of it.
I even used to like looking at all the graphs, or seeing how the league was tracking overall or other obscure things.
It's all very amateur to be honest but won't let that dampen the mood with everyone's huge scores this week.
The funny thing is what is worse than caring is not caring... People will get to that stage and not bother or choose to focus on Supercoach next year (Even if the scoring style is a bit shit haha)

It's more just frustrating knowing they had a perfect good product then they swallowed it then proceeded to shit the bed.
Also numbers are dropping year after year
Would imagine their bottom line would be hurting, I accidently got charged for it but asked for a refund and got it back instantly.
At even 20% of people subscribing = 20,000 or so at $20 is a lot of coin

The roast was magnificent by the way haha
Score sitting at 909 but not sure what updates they are doing

Makes you wonder if the NRL could actually step in and stand him down if they wanted to. I guess innocent before proven guilty though, but would it be in the best interest of the team?
