2018 NRL.com Fantasy Thread Part 58

What a shit show from Hiku and SJ. I expect I'll be in the market for a new starting centre next week with Hiku spending some time in ressies. Throws my second row plan under water and means I have to hold Ponga.

Remember when we were 3 or 4 rounds in and the Warriors fans were claiming that this was the year for them?

5 wins from their last 11 games.

3/10 wins when facing top 8 teams this year

What a bunch of pretenders!
















Sorry Warriors fans, I'm mostly just upset about SJ and acting out

Yeah us Warriors fans have a hard enough time supporting our team, let alone having to deal with all those wankers who say "It's our year" every fucking year..

Basically, if the Warriors get done up the middle, we are screwed. If the backs get front foot ball, SJ, RTS, Luke flourish which has resulted in wins. Losing Harris, Bunty and Pulu (the forgotten man, was our forward POTY before he got injured) has exposed our weak depth in the pack.

The concerning thing is it looked like we were out enthused, had no answers and let them roll us in the final 20. Ah well, still think we can improve on that.

Fantasy wise, SJ and RTS for me, so bugger. No way I would trade either also.

Who are you upgrading? I've got half a mind to move Fifita on and bag the points on Sunday, but only have 2 trades...

Either Fifita or A. Crichton but I'm leaning towards Crichton as it gives my team more balance with 1 extra frf. Also if origin 1 is any indication then Crichton may not play in round 18.

As a Tigers fan, I don't think I should comment on the Warriors last 10 games

True, Saturday against the Dogs.

I don't really see the point in trading Fifi. Certainly should still monster out some big scores.

No one really said that though this year (except maybe for a few Facebook commenters but they don't count). I think last year took care of any of the fans still saying that. It seems this year most Warrior fans have been cautiously optimistic but haven't gotten too carried away because we have just been let down too many times.

Looks like Fainu might be dropped due to a court case of him posting a sex tape on social media. These fkn rookies

NRL are saying he’s free to play until he’s found or pleads guilty, as they did with Jack Wighton and most of the other halfwits.
No plea has been entered yet and next in court on August 7.

How many trades do you have left mate?

6

@ nrl physio - both TPJ & Su'a completed the captain's run this morning & are expected to play tomorrow. Su'a

After I do my A. Crichton to R. James trade my team will be complete with 3 trades left & 1 of those will be used to buy back Ponga

Smith
R. James, Fifita
Arrow, Jurbo, Taumalolo
DCE, A-Rey
Aitken, Mitchell
Tedesco, Turbo, RTS

Cook, McInnes, Taupau, Martin
Su'a, L. Lewis, Holland, Doueihi

Currently 275/4 (CS9 (c), McInnes, Aitken, RTS)
5 to play = James, R. Martin, Su'a, L. Lewis, Holland.

If I can get 225 from my remaining players it will give me 500 points exactly.

5 players tonight.
After last nights shit show I couldn’t actually care less.

Bulldogs 1-12

Martin, Holland and Lewis for me tonight. If Sua actually plays just him tomorrow.

Still trading out Sua for James I think

When will it clear up about James playing or not

It already has mate. He left origin camp yesterday to go back to the Titans & he'll return to origin camp on Monday meaning he will play tomorrow.
