2018 NRL.com Fantasy Thread Part 39

453/8 Cook (c) played. Happy with that start.

I'm down to a lowly 21st. FML wink wink

I've still got 10 and captain to play. 900 looks par to keep up. Im tracking a little bit behind that

Out of the country so haven't managed to catch anything aside from highlights but I seem to have more players left than most. Only 8 currently played so hard to get a gauge on rank. Martin looks like the latest flavour of the week. Any info on his in game performance? McCullough will lose a bit of cash and will be a perfect upgrade target for Rein

It prob feels like a waste of a trade at the moment but the cash from the downgrade and the extra round 13 points will come in handy

@Pookus McFly yeah I'm warming up to ARey too. Great POD pick. My only concern is injury risk. He's another Dugan lol but could be worthwhile if you take the risk

I'm on 521 with 8 to play.

If everyone hits their average I'll get about 900. Rein should hopefully beat his average of 33. If everyone else gets close I'll be a happy man.

Also tracking for 900, with 10 to play. Captain Cam and a big game from Aubs feels like the key to keeping pace, 50+ from Townsend would also be nice. Only 4 in play today, going to be a big Sunday!

I went Doueihi to Cogger for the cash. I've seen him play & he's a goer so he'll come right. The Knights were totally dominated last night so any hlf would have struggled.

Cool mate. Just don't want Lamb coming in and taking his spot.

496/10 with Captain Cam to come, so looks like I'm slightly a bit behind, probably cause of MBye.

Must admit ARey was one of the players that when I started fantasy in 2014 I took over all my work mates without knowing the game, that's how I became a bunnies supporter. All these guys played the game and talked it up but learning the game that year and warming to the Bunnies and with the likes of ARey, Johnston (rookie year) Auva, Surgess and a couple of others in my team throughout the year really made me stamp my authority and I haven't looked back.

Point is, ARey playing like this is almost a nostalgia type feeling for me and could be well worth the punt. He seems the last couple of weeks to be finding his feet and no real signs of any injury issues.

I reversed last minute to grab Martin next week

Im quietly glad i did that - could be Elgey 3.0

Cogger isn't and won't be Elgey 3.0 because he can actually tackle. If the Knights start to dominate a bit more, he'll come right. Getting pumped by the Rabbitohs didn't help his score. However, I'm not sure he'll rack up the profit I need so I'll be bringing in Phillips next week.

Good week so far for base priced cows. Martin, Phillips, and Campbell Graham all scoring

475/10, captain to come... I always feel I'm half a step behind everyone here lol need to sort my backs really soon. Hopefully Peats is out for one more week, makes the jump for Rein to Macca more achievable

Don't feel bad I am on 457/10 with Captain to play.

Would anyone be talking about ARey if he scored a 45-50?

Not being a cunt but the kid has always been a fantasy gun but along with Dugan
Probably the single most injury prone player in league

Every kick he gets lumped and usually slow to get up, this isn’t new kid isn’t is a prospect. If he doesn’t get injured within next 3 weeks I’ll think about eating a hat

Players who break the most in NRL

1. Moga
2. Dugan
3. A.........

And i traded dugan in this year, I'll be damned if i make the same mistake with #3

Is cronk to sorenson a bad move? I’d have to play sorenson or havili

350/7 with cap cam to come.

I'm playing havili this week. Not sure bringing in Sorensen is the right call with him starting on the bench. Maybe capewell is preferred on the right edge and will remain there while Lewis (3 weeks) recovers.

Hard to say how sorrnson will be used today.. I'm thinking 30 mins to spell paulo at lock?

Been really impressed with Maloney gutted I didn’t have the balls to grab him! Shows how valuable the elite KM halves can be

said it last week but there will be a tinge of sadness when Cleary comes back, almost an injustice that everyone who owns him will just drop and avoid him like he's got the plague, like there should be some kind of 'thanks for the memories' video package to honor his contributions before he goes back to being a fantasy spud

We'll still have the missed tackle column to look at and laugh mate, we'll still have the missed tackle column.

May need a maloney tribute thread
