2018 NRL.com Fantasy thread part 28

How long does yeo play centres and peachey play 6 though. Yeo could be back in the forwards pretty quickly

Surely it is a good thing that I cant really see anywhere I desperately need to change. Croker is plodding along at an even pace - a good score and can ride a couple weeks of rises. Havili is slowly getting more and more minutes and looks to be increasing his AVG slightly. Doui is a scary one as all it takes is for Arey to hurt his vagina and he is straight in there or for them two lose a couple games and a shake up will see him right in there, also there was a video on NRL with Seibold saying he has a plan for Doui. Lodge still has some money to make and RFM still has more to make. One good score from these fellas can change everything.

I just don't want to miss out on a rising cow or a Mid Ranger transitioning into a Keeper

Havili isn't a 55 minute player. Disregard last week as its unlikely that they wont have a bench by the 40 minute mark again. He will be on for the first 30 where then Hingano will sub him off. He "may" come back on with 10 minutes to go but anything more than 40 minutes is a massive leap of faith.

To me its a gut call between Havili and Isaako.

 
Definitely a gut call, agreed. 

Douhey has to be one to go.

Havili did play 55 mins the week prior to last week when hingano came onto the bench (and only scored 24). I guess its down to whether Ricky sees value in having him on the field longer.

With austin back this week, who knows what he will do. May juggle all three halves again...

I do like the idea of holding Isaako a little longer. His recent scores are rubbish but I wouldn"t be playing him.

Unfortunately I do have Brown and Murray and will be holding both for the moment.. unless there is some more official word on Murrays injury and expected return.

Townsends stocks on the rise? Moylan set to keep the FB position (sorry Dugan buyers), who himself could be a good pickup in WFB if he keeps the position- scoring 48 last week with relative ease. but also this leaves Hodkinson in the halves where had 0 kick metres last week and just 34 the week before. Townsends KM did not really increase from this however, but a game with a lot of kicking might see him gain the bulk of it despite Hodkinson being a more adept kicker than Moylan.

I wouldn't be looking at any of those at present mate...

All well and good Stormy but you can't get em all mate. At the end of the day, the faster you build that final 17 the better, if that means missing a cow or two and a middy then that's what needs to happen.

I might turn Murray into Fifita and skip bringing in JFH

I think I might give Doueihi another week. his BE isn't *that* high, and I think he might get more of a run this week (if Murray out I think Cook might play a bit of lock with Doueihi playing hooker)

Siebold's quotes seem to imply he might get a better look in this week too (Although I am generally loathe to trust coach interviews for fantasy information)

Going to drop Croker instead, as I feel Doueihi actually has a better chance of getting a big score in the next few weeks.

Moylan might of scored 48 last week but his fullback stats from a decent sample size at Penrith is pretty average, think he goes around 35 points without looking up Milchs sheet

I wouldn't jump On Jacks Straight Away. Raw deal for Brodie - He hasn't actually been allowed to do his job the last 5 weeks. If Smith plays the same this week as the last 5 weeks nothing much will be different. To date Ryleys been handcuffed EVEY time he's played for Storm as well.

Yeah you can put it on Smith and I know someone posted some good stats showing Croft wasn't getting any ball but Croft isn't passing the eye test for me.

He gets 30 touches a game and most of them (mainly for fantasy purposes but also IRL) don't inspire much faith in him. Maybe Smiths lack of trust/attitude is making him nervous/underperform but to me he looks hesitant and isn't sure of his role in the squad.

A lot of people said the storm were trying to ease him in / remove responsibility early in his development but part of being new is proving with limited responsibility you can get a job done. When you get limited touches and are not having meaningful touches / botching combinations / commiting rookie errors / not helping the team it wouldn't inspire a lot of faith in me either if I was his hooker/teammate.

Can't be certain about it and maybe he's playing ressies to help get him back to a slower pace where hes more dominant to get some confidence back. We will never likely know the full truth but to call it a raw deal for Brodie isn't ringing true to me at all. Care to put together a great Croft moments highlights package from his 400 minutes of NRL time this year that shows me I'm misguided?

Don't think anyone doubts the potential and I'm sure he's a better player than the last 5 rounds have shown (otherwise Melbourne wouldn't have kept with him for this long). Just needs to earn the job and show he can do his job for the team before he gets handed the reins IMO

Did Butters come on and try to lure unsuspecting newbies into his Lounge again? Assuming a post was deleted?

Correct. Not just once, but twice.

If anyone believes this self promoting, attention seeking, know all, useless knob is here for any other reason than to promote his own site, they have less brain cells than this twerp has hair follicles.

And that’s being nice

Good thing for all of us is the news will be there on Thursday night pre lockout (hopefully with great details). If its bad maybe have a backup plan to trade Doueihi and Murray if it seems more serious?

Your first posts have all been shamelessly plugging your YouTube show, not an ounce of respect for the posters here by answering queries or introducing yourself

This forum isn’t the same as the Facebook pages it’s a community of fantasy enthusiasts who know how to get the info needed from the guys on here

If you want to continue to post and offer advice then fine, but plugging your show every other post won’t be happening

Boot the cunt. Everywhere else does. All the relevant fantasy Facebook sites have. He’s in it for his own ego. Knows fuck all about the game. Never ever had a good overall position. Piss him off. Make me mod for an hour...I will

The general rule of most forums is to contribute if you want to extract value.

The only shameless promoting we shall allow on this forum is the unashamed force feeding of MTB's stat site down members throats! Because he is a GOD!

I mainly just take offense to your use of the term '1000%'.
That's ten times relevance, man!
Just far too relevant for me.

Here’s your new avatar until next Monday.

What are you talking about I won the bet. Peachy didnt score more then 35 therefore you have to run with the avatar of my choosing for a week.

Wrong. The bet was he didn’t score 35. My way, not yours.

There was actually nothing at all wrong from Brodie - This is all Smith. Go back to the WCC in February, Rd 24 last year with Smith at 9 and Brodie at 7. Everything on the field was working perfectly. Storm should be 4-1 at worst.

Smith changed the entire way the team was playing with the ball in Rd 1 and Brodie's been made the scapegoat, Seems he's let personal stuff off the field into things and he's really hurt Storms season imo. Wouldn't be at all surprised if Brodie asks for a release and I wouldn't blame him. Quite a few clubs would jump at him in a heart beat.
