2018 NRL.com Fantasy thread part 49

I would have to say that was the most conservative 90 I've ever seen.

Tolo looked like he was unlucky not to break the line 2 or three times there and at least score 1 more try.

He played the full 80 and looked like he had more energy than any game he only played 60 minutes of?!

Wtf

Glad with the C punt too. And maybe Koro will be a keeper yet, give him a reserve spot of HLF spot.

I'm also pretty worried about what im seeing from DCE. and his keeper status.

Completely my fault.  I have the C on Cam and the VC on Ted so no double score for me this week .  And yes, I was Captaining Lolo.  I actually feel sick that I have cost myself 90 points.  Might catch up with the rest of the thread tomorrow.  Some great scores tonight.

Thats just terrible mate, tough.

This will haunt my dreams

Not to sound like a caaarnt, but i cant believe u didnt go for it, seasons half over already, what are you waiting for !

Hampton didnt end up getting on the field, very odd use of Hammo in recent weeks.

Honestly, last night was the best I've seen the cows look all season.

Coote was very underwhelming from the FB, and it will be interesting to see where Morgan slots into when he gets back.

TMM did really well in the Halves. But then again, when Tolo plays like that, make it a lot easier for the whole team as a unit, takes so much pressure off.

I saw Kapow after trying to tackle Tolo, laying in the ground after just sucking them in.

Yeah I know bud. At least I have a post to mark where it drifted away haha. Although I've only lost 8 spots in the rankings.

So much for not trading in Taupau and Taumalolo because they were "overpriced"

Yeah I've decided I won't take notice of the 'overpriced' term moving forward.

They have the price tag for a reason. Been a great year for learning.

Just seen the Gosi has likely broken his arm. Happy I didn't get him, Capewell or Sorenson in over the past couple months, was tempted on all of them.

Wonder what Morgan will score like at 1? His running game is his strength, and could get to back keeper scores pretty easily.. DPP too.

Entirely my decision to not bring them in. I knew they had the ceiling but I thought Lolo's floor was lower than previous years(still think this will be the case when McLean comes back). I don't think Taupau will average the 63 he is priced at

Less stalking the hottie from your office on FB and more DT tine SI.

Unless his minutes drop I expect to see him at the top of MTBs tables most weeks.

Amen.

You have my axe

People said this about 50, then 55, then 60. Might just be his year.

Holy shiiiiiiiit, just looked at fanatics league in first time in forever. I’m 600pts behind rank 1.

Know it’s been a horrible year for Captain choice but ain’t no captain choice or bye round going to make up that deficit!! In top 500 too so not like I’m having worst season ever. Fair play you lads up the top. Amazing.

Didn’t realize you were so high up there WL. Good work pal

I think Taupau will easily average 60 for the year out.

My gut was telling me all week he was worth the money so I hope he keeps it up.

Darn it, zora jumped on the Koro train. I was hoping to make up some ground

My calculator has Taupau priced at 59. I think he can average that as long as he keeps getting 60+ mins. His poor patch of fantasy scores earlier in the season came from averging 46 minutes overcome the first 7 rounds rather than any poor form or laziness. I think Barrett was being conservative with him so as not to wear him out because he knew hed be playing a bigger part when Jurbo was out for origin. He would know better than anyone how thin they are on forwards.

He has already said that Jake and Tom won't be resting during Origin.

They might not be rested, but I cant see Jake pumping out his usual 80 mins 3 days after origin, and of course he got 0 minutes last night. Taupau to pick up the extras. Had his highest tackle count of the season last night, smashed his average (25) by a fair bit (47). Most offloads he has made yet too.
