2018 NRL.com Fantasy Thread Part 57

Yes it's gone off the rail.

So like zora mentioned seems as though they've done a men in black and R16 is non existent on the app.

Jeepers

lol shit, 3 players for the bye, its like i was trying to score 0 points next week

I have more black dots in my team this week than I had on my fucking face when I was 16 years old.

I can apparently trade out cook and lolo but everyone else is locked out haha

8 yellows before trades

8? Showoff.

I read the posts. No one with a clue was bringing in any Tigers player before R17. Not when the likes of Harris were around. I’m calling BS. Downvote away snowflakes

Ive only got 13 players next week. Is that any good?

Smith, McInnes, Hodgson, Martin, Papalli, TPJ, Kikau, Johnson, Lewis, Aitken, RTS, Cotric, Brimson

Glad i brought in Farah for the cash saved but 79 sitting in my emg is a kick in the nuts.

You must have a gun team to have Farah in your emg's.

Fucks me with this week. DCE a sell? Fifi a sell?

I've dumped fifi. Just too much against him now and the last game was telling for mind.
I've also got a terrible ranking so left field options are my moves from here.

Just like Captain Ponga last weekend.

My team's been cut to pieces for next week. Was expecting at least 11, maybe 12, now I'm expecting 6.

Looking back at some carnage the last few rounds is depressing.

Rd 16 - Kikau (injured), Harris (injured), Ponga (injured), Sua (injured), Olive (dropped)
Rd 15 - RFM (injured), Fitzgibbon (suspended), Fonua (injured), Martin/Kikau (out).
Rd 14 - Kikau (injured), Rapana (injured), Cook/Crichton/Martin (out).
Rd 13 - Crichton (origin), Matterson (out).. Cook always playing origin.
Rd 12 - Matterson (out), Fifita (out)

I remember a time when I could make it through a round without much concern, now it feels like I can't make it through a game. Can't believe all 4 of Cook, Crichton, Burgers and Taumalolo seemingly played it out yesterday.. still origin to come for 2 of them though.

Ended up with 822 and fell back 600 odd places to 2900th.

Munster with an apparent ankle injury cost me 12 points having to leave Brimson on the pine as back-up and playing Hiku for 24.

Not much else I could've done. RFM and Fonua out to RTS and Holland and captained Cam. Everything else just shit luck.

Yeah I captained Ponga too, scored 885 which I'm pretty happy with considering.

I have Harris and Ponga, thinking of holding Ponga, but trading Harris at this stage. Can't see anyone standing out for round 17, might straight trade to Farah/Gallen next week.

Anyone know what Dugan is doing, and if Holmes will stay @ fullback? I have both, and if Holmes goes back to the wing I'm dumping him. But if Dugan goes to centre (if he is actually fit) and Holmes stays at 1, he's probably worth keeping.

Might take a punt on Hodgson myself. SJ the obvious standout, but ownership already at 23% and trending up.

Hodgson 170k cheaper and 1.7% ownership currently. Probably won't rise as much with plenty of teams targeting 3 of Cam, Cook, McInnes and Farah. Friend in a couple teams too, but might've done his job for those that picked him up for Rd 13.

No doubt Hodgson is playing fantastic - But going on past stats I'm not sold. Averaged 43 last year, and 49 and 46 the previous seasons. Probably getting what you pay for at his price IMO.

Thoughts on Lachie Lewis lads?

Think 35+ in base a week can be relied on (25 tackles, 200km)
