2018 NRL.com Fantasy thread part 69

I'm only 25 points behind 3rd,pending updates. If I'd just captained Cook like everyone else I would be $1000 richer. I can't believe how hard Taumalolo sucked this week.

Didn't rank great but took out all three of my work leagues.  Stoked, all worth it.  If the guy in second who has been closing in on me the last month won, it would have been a travesty.  Bad winner and bad loser.  Pumped him in overall and head to head.

Had my best ever finish at 434, I will get better but after 4 years first time in the top 500 and finished with a 1006 this week. Need to work on my strategy to get to Zora and VK level next year.

Well done to all you lads at the top.

The last game both this week & last week really phucked me up. Last week Martin/McInnes & this week T-Trbo/TPJ. I was ranked 7th 2 weeks ago & was looking to push for 5th or 6th but I've ended up going the other way to 11th. First world problems lol.

You did well mate, congrats (best finish for you?). Hard luck on not getting top ten though if thats the case!

At one point you and I were neck and neck (sometime just after Origin I think). I just couldn't keep pace with you and the people up top with terrible captain choices, and no T-Trbo or Mitchell. From where I sit those were my biggest issues. That and a lack of depth meaning I kept having to play Arrow and Martin despite their form dips.

I really enjoyed this season though. Looking like I've finished in 35th which is easily my best. I actually can't recall where I finished in my first full season (last year). Im pretty sure it wasn't in the top 1,000 though!

For the fourth time this season, and first time in the last 12 weeks I find myself outside the top 100.
I blame the following in this specific order
Rapana
Aitken
Captain choices
Croker
Alvaro
Ponga

Scoring 760 in final round, 3rd worst score in top 100 of the NRLFF League

Waiting for updates on that because only a few points in it for 3rd (fuck you, Jurbo).

Amazed I broke the 1,000 this week with three players under 30 and six under 40. Put me back in the top 100, happy with that.

It’s me you have been jostling with. Turbo nearly cost me! I was behind you by 4 when I looked after the game but now up by 9.

Cheers R&T

Was 130th odd going into the round so to be 74th pretty happy with top 100.

Cracking job this year WL didnt know you had it in you some of the crazy trade ideas you have thrown out there in previous years haha

Improved on last years ranking of 1300 odd to 346 this year so I’m making progress. Can’t wait for next year,thanks for the ride guys and girls!

Yeah you gotta fluke it sooner or later haha.

Well done on winning the doggies league WL!

Finished 68th which is my best finish so far.

There are lot of what ifs which I am pretty sure all coaches would be in the same position so happy to take this top 100 finish. Thanks for the ride. Couldn't have done it without the input from all of you.
