2018 NRL.com Fantasy thread part 27

@lewis9966 Brown got his ankle twisted in the 74th minute. He stayed on because they had no subs, but he was struggling.. If it's not too bad I reckon he'll still at least miss next week

Griffin & Croker to JFH & Mbye for me, want to bring Gallen in, but i'll give him one more week to try to figure out whether the 70 minutes he got was an outlier, considering his top minutes this season was 57 before that

I love posting rank improvements. 875 and up to 2800.
Pretty poor compared to most of the forum, but I had a poor start and slowly getting things together

Arrow went up 115k just this round .. Wow

996 this week- pretty stoked with that.

First trade is to replace Croker who is a starting half of mine!

wasn't there some-one here earlier in the season saying a player going up $100k in a round would be impossible?

I bought JFH in this week and he tackled his heart out and hit the ball up hard.  He was an animal in those 50 odd minutes and if he stays at Lock then no reason why he won't average 45/50.  Of course it's fucking Hook though so who knows.  Only thing is they are mostly genuine tackles so know junk flops.  He looked like he was more interested in discouraging offloads when there were already 2 tacklers in, instead of racking up his numbers.

Very impressed with him Fantasy and footy wise.

After his performace last week and his positional change I didn't want to miss out on him... hopefully he keeps impressing hook

I can do Griffin and ARey out for JFH and DCE

Fixes my error of bringing in arey

Please let me know if you think this sounds good?

Who knows/cares, we all say shit that turns out incorrect or we hedge our bets. Happens all the time haha.

Anyways some interesting people to look at if you are game or want a NPR coming off an ok score with decent BE
Just mentioning a few with track records that have hit rock bottom.

V Holmes = 317k BE 18
A Don = 323K BE 11
R Robinson = 233K BE 6
S Kasiano = 291K BE 12
A Winterstein = 305K BE 11
J Aloiai = 388K = BE 14
G Eastwood = 303K BE 18

Milchy does it better but just cherry picked a few, some more expensive options like C Scott and Rapana coming down too

There were multiple people in this group who thought trading Cam Smith out was a good idea. We don't always talk sense

One of the same people also talked up Issac Luke pre season as a smokey but went with Lichaa instead haha

would you really be happy with post match press conferences devolving into coaches and players slinging shit at each other? i watch them to get insight into the game of football just played, not to find out who's been reading 'Buzz & friends'

Fuck Bennett, the senile old prick. Fuck the Bonzos. Fuck you and fuck Milfird the Maggot.

Bonzos = spoon. Got nothing.

Who's lit up Fiona?

Slona must be contributing.

Added up my squad, 730k increase for thr week (including Williams -13k which is only loss)
Seeing all the green has me at least happy and also means next week it should increase a lot too

After the tough few weeks with players stocks crashing hard it looks like stocks are now up people
Means some under priced buys out there too, got to pick the right ones and try not to buy at their peak if you don't plan on keeping

What's with the score discrepancies between the NRL stats and fantasy?

I'd be happy if they finalise the round Monday if it means getting the scores right.

How hard is it?

The guy in first place owns Peter Wallace.

Rapana is coming down rapidly with a BE of 67 this week. Issue is, Raiders never go down his side and he's getting zero ball. Hardly takes a hit up too... If it's worth my 2 cents, I wouldn't look to bring him in unless something happens with their playmakers game plan.

Solid buy, plays 80 and averaging 50

What it says on the box is what you get

That's nothing. The guy in second has Josh Dugan in his WFBs.
