2018 NRL.com Fantasy thread part 67

DCE and Turbo and not owing them these last two weeks has turned into my best season to my worst season.

I hope Cleary was watching DCE tonight.

Of course he was, he’s the oppositions coach and DCE was carving them up.
5/352.
It can only go downhill from here.

I am already in the top 10(00)

VSDT is where I get my success though. Finished 8th there last year, and won the eliminator a couple of years before that

Anyone else trading smith out?

Not trading him but he's sitting there as my 18th man just in case...

Man the relief at checking my score after work and seeing that JTrbo captaincy went well. It's no DCE but I'm happy with 65

I'm thinking Angus might be a nice replacement

Basically in my 2 H2H games that I care about it is going to come down to Arey. Aitken and Angus doing well for me to win. Not all that confident. Fucking Lone Scout has a beast of team though, respect.

Why?

Wow that was a pretty crazy game for Fantasy.

I had DCE, Taupau, JTrbo, and Farah for 303/4 and like others dropped ranking (went from 44 to 48).

Had a quick chance and a number of teams above me had 5 or more players going last night and almost all had DCE/Taupau/Farah. Quite a few had Marsters and/or TTrbo as well.

He's failed to finish two recent games. 

I've got two trades to use.

If he suits up & plays on Saturday I would keep Smith. Never underestimate Smith. If you have 2 trades left why not just downgrade one of your players & upgrade to another gun & keep Smith. Then at least you have team selection options.

5/358 (probably same players but updated)

That's averaging 71.6 points per player so far. If that keeps up I'll finish the round on 1289

Went up about 120 places to 570 or so but surely will drop back to around 700 through the round.

Ponga ---> TTurbo... not a bad trade so far, especially if Ponga is out as expected.

Dragons legend Lance Thompson has died aged 40. He was found by his teenage daughter & police say the death was not suspicious & may have been due to a medical incident rather than self harm.

This has bummed me out. He did so much on & off the field.

Did a lot for junior league. Genuinely good bloke. Lived next door to his mum on the Goldie when I was up there for work for a couple of months. She was really nice too. Didn't he have a heart condition or something ? Vaguely remember he had a scare

DCE average over the last 5 games = 68
Taupau = 60
Jurbo = 63
Turbo = 64

All 4 in my team & they have contributed greatly to my team. A big thanks to all of them.

I saw Voss interview him on his show & he was a great guy. Very humble & genuine. I never get sad much but I have to admit this has shocked me.

The weather in Auckland has been crap for about the last week with torrential rain & strong wind gusts. The Warriors v Penrith game tonight could be a tight forward tussle.

Is Ponga out? Seen yes probably 2 weeks but also Brown giving him every chance. Would prefer just get Naiqama 43 and have loop SJ or Arey/Martin

Not in the CBD it hasn't. 1 morning of heavy rain
