2018 NRL.com Fantasy Thread Part 56

Wait, what's wrong with watching NRL 360? I rarely miss an episode, by far the best show for info for anyone who can go an hour without needing to hear Fletch make another Thai hooker joke.

Yup, I posted the article yesterday. Flight to SF delayed cause of an electrical storm which knocked out a control tower.

They aren't gonna be back in NZ until Wednesday now.

By the way, for numbers based people I was surprised we all let Rabbit get away with his fake news rant.

For the record, estimates suggest the LBGT community account for over 3% in most countries around the world (4.1% in the USA for example) where accurate estimates are available and as high as 10% in some places. (not 1% bro).

On a forum who prides itself on analytical accuracy, we should at least get the numbers right huh! regardless of how archaic your opinions are

Gallen is becoming more appealing to me with the Shark's injuries, and I agree Fifi looked rooted on the weekend..

Looking forward to the teams, I have TPJ, Dugan and Martin, interested to see what happens with those 2. Also my Fonua cash out, I'm liking Holland ATM, but sounds like there could potentially be some good options.

How is it that people on trains with backpacks on automatically forget about said backpack?? Fuckers. It becomes an ignorance is bliss battering ram.
I think trains are the real life 'Westworld', where you can see all forms of cuntism and debauchery in one carriage.

TPJ to Gallen for me this week. Opportunity knocks for the ole codger.

Is TPJ injured mate? Worth holding that trade until R18?

I thought people were just ignoring him. At least 99% of people were.

Yeah, honestly don’t even bother down-voting some brexit and trump voting bigot’s comment on anything in the real world... as that would give him the credit that you’ve read the post to its end.

Should stick to fishing trips and fantasy footy where tolerable, bordering entertaining, and safe from harm and contributing in anyway (anymore) to the already fkd up world our next generation will have to get through

No doubt people were and I think that approach is fine.

However, I have a number of friends and family from minority groups, whether that be sexual orientation, ethnicity, or otherwise who have had to put up with discrimination, prejudice and ignorance for far too long. Every now and then I think its important to call out this sort of behaviour for what it is, regardless of the forum.

Looking forward to TLT

I'm considering the exact trade, so I'll add my 2 cents.. TPJ has a rib problem, picked it up early in his last game, only played 10-20 minutes due to this. Ribs are tricky to predict time, but it is an injury.

The time related question, Gall is on the mega rise with a small BE, TPJ is due to lose a decent wack if he plays, due to his last injury effected score. So, if you aren't worried about a 50k-100k swing in price, Round 18 is the way to go ideally. I'd have to change my plans personally if I wait until round 18, just need to work out if a 30-50 points bonus is worth it.

I sort of hope TPJ is out so he's an easy trade out..

Nah nothing mate. I was just being a wanker. I watch it most nights too.

Good on you, mate.

@rhinoceroo. you have a PM mate, been there for a week

I hate having to waste a trade on a ctr as I need Fonua replacement. I just know whoever I decide to go with will bomb & the guys I ignore will score big haha.

A quote from Cooper Cronk as he faces his old Storm team mates this week - "they're going to smash me"

Haha that's why I'm set on Curtis Scott. Yeah he has shit scores but at that price will still score in the range of guys 150k more expensive.

Plus he has the potential for sure to go big.

Well it's been a long week without fantasy but tlt is upon us. We've all gone a bit stir crazy which is understandable. I expect a lot of rest & rotation of players so I'm expecting tlt to really disappoint me.

Kearney was talking about being forced into playing Maumalo and Hiku because Kata and Fusitua are still out injured.

Doesn't have much interest in Gelling and Ayshford as cover by the sounds of it.

Will Lawton start over Luke? Still want to see Sammy Cook get a run.
