2018 NRL.com Fantasy Thread Part 30

543/10 for me so far. Taking on Lone Scout in one of my leagues so it would be nice to win.

552/11. Lodge and TPJ can fuck off and become Smith and someone cheap under my new "No Broncos" policy.

Par with 652/13 with Rochow, Kikau, JFH and Arrow to come

I am on 455 with J. Arrow (C), V. Kikau, J. Fisher-Harris, D. Cherry-Evans, C. Thompson, J. Gosiewski and JMKs 33 points to be added.

Par 900?

Wink wink wink

I know that feeling. My eye twitches every time I look at my shit team as well..

So for those that are worried about the scores posted so far, this might make you feel better.
512/12 (C) included.

Have some players left tomorrow that might rescue my, but they won't.

Captain Macca, Lodge, TPJ, Kennar yuck yuck yuck 516/11

634/11(c) for me, centre pairing of Hiku/Inglis the only thing that's really let me down this week, got super lucky with Su'A, put him in my 17 last night, was working right up until gametime so i didn't see him get benched, couldn't have reversed the trade because I fucked off Griffin for him, but i certainly would've sat him in the EMG's for JMK, but i'll take those 60 points straight to the bank

provided Bennett saw what everybody else saw and doesn't fuck around with a good thing, next week GI will be Bird and Lodge will be Taumalolo, then injuries and form willing, i can sit on my team for a few weeks waiting for Havili, JMK & Maloney to peak

Players I like the look of but don't have, yet.

Gonna dream about how to fit them in tonight.

Phrasing

RTS continues his below par performances for me this week. May be a sell soon if a Thompson 2.0 comes around or if Cotric gets the FB gig. 11c/616, not sure how this week will shape up for me, fingers crossed my 'rocks and diamonds' players can produce the goods tomorrow.

Did Bird do enough to really interest people? This was one of the first games I've watched through this year, and I am genuinely unsure how he racked up 40-odd points. Saw next to no playmaking from him, it just seems like he got no negatives - hence the decent score. I can't see that happening consistently for him.

And I don't expect that much of a backflip from Bennett on holding out Knik.

I can see that he may appeal as a cheap-ish CTR, but I can't see him maintaining what he scored today.

he didn't set the world on fire, but it was pretty clear he's a better option than Niko just in terms of being a better footballer, just goes about his business with a lot of intent and defences are a lot more worried about Bird with the football in his hands than they are Niko

587/10 hoping for 900 but pretty sure Maloney will screw me

Bird can actually defend as well, which is a huge plus. Probably a major factor in us winning the forward battle last night imo
