2019 NRL.com Fantasy thread part 3

StormTrooper96 wrote:Just saw some stats on Yeo from last year. Priced around 46 but is more than capable of hitting 55 on an average basis and the odd 60+ game here and there. Had 7 games 55 or above and 4 of those were 60 and above. I think he and Kikau were hampered a fair bit by having to spend some time in at CTR for injuries during games. Another awkward price but no origin worries and could easily average 50+ and maybe even 55 if he stays consistent

Great to watch as well; have had him in quite a few Draft teams over the years. What is the Centre depth like this year there, as like you've alluded to, that's the worry.

@SI they have Whare, Jed Cartwright, Blake, T.Fuimaono from what I can see on there site. So definitely some fill in if there is injury. But running Egan and Katoa not much in game fill in. Would be between yeo and kikau

Good stuff mate (aside from the whole Rooster's thing   ).  Glad the NRL finally warmed to the Magic Weekend; the ESL have nailed it.

Don't get me wrong, I hate the Roosters more than Manly and last year was my nightmare incarnate haha

Reading the 'Buy of the Season' article this morning (https://www.nrl.com/news/2019/01/31/buy-of-the-season-nrl.com-experts-have-their-say/). A lot of the "experts" are backing Klemmer to be the best guy. Benny Barba also featuring heavily.

I have currently gone for Hughes, Barba is around the same price. IF Hughes does lock in the FB gig, what are peoples thoughts on Hughes v Barba?

Is there a way of checking what I finished last season? I know with fpl I can with same account.. Or am I asking too much from failhub?

I think I saw the most clever EPL joke in a while this morning. Chelsea travelled to Bournemouth for nothing

Been meaning to ask peoples opinions on barba. I have him in my team as of now, but what are everyone elses opinions on him

Unlikely to ever reach the Tedesco/Ponga WFB levels

Reckon he caps around 45 if he has a good season, he was on fire at Saints but different level of competition

35-45 Boom or mid range where he's priced

also been tossing up a couple front row option around that 600 mark. TPJ Offa LAM Tolman. are these the best options around that price range or is there someone else maybe better.

Really hoping CHT gets the starting gig so I can call my team Chanel No 7

Some guy on fb quoted some medical expert......players coming off an acl injury take a year to get over it & it's only in the 2nd year that they are fully recovered. Plus he is very injury prone.

Rapture_NRL wrote:Just read on NRL news how Bad Arthur brought Lane in to play right side 2nd row. He was going well at Manly and I expect that continue. My question though, Eels seem to have a decent number of back rowers, Manu Ma'u, Gower, Takairangi, Moeroa and Niukore, so it's Lane's position risky? If he locks it in, he's gonna be a smokey

Difference being at Manly he was in a very good team & was being set up by DCE, Turbo, etc. Do you think he'll get the same quality service at the Eels with Moses, D. Brown, Gutherson.

Hey cheers, well I've been playing Fantasy for around 3-4 years or so. Slowing getting up there and last year was a great year for me, I think I screenshot my rank at the end but I was in the top 100 towards the end although I think I tapered off I'll have to check.

Basically a guy who never really watched that much footy but a few years back I believe it was around 2013 when the Roosters won the comp was the first full season I actually watched. Ever since then I've been a huge fan and even though I live 600 odd k's away from Brissy, I still try to get to a few games. Super keen for the magic round this year!

Good man Bagpipe. Welcome aboard. Great avatar btw.

I would definitely go Hughes before Barba. Barba could take a while to get used to a new team/spine & even a gun like Tedesco take half the season to really fire at the Roosters. Also Barba has been playing esl the last couple of years so it could take him a while to get used to the rise in intensity of the nrl again. I seem to remember when Barba was playing for the Sharks sure he had some big scores but he scored low as well., he's that kind of player. Imo Hughes will be a more consistent scorer.

I would really appreciate any help that anyone could provide in here. If you can be bothered, please email fan hub and ask them to test the app using Apple's accessibility inspector so blind people can play the game on their phones using voice-over.  The same goes for their website and anyone using a screen reader. At the moment I cannot select a player in my team unless I use auto select!!! On the app, I basically can't do anything because no elements are labelled correctly.  Just given them a one star rating and a review on the Apple store as well. One star because I was able to login. LOL. #JusticeForBlindside #Accessibility

Hi @Blindside,

I've sent an email through to FanHub in hope it may help.

If anyone else wants to, this is the message I sent - you could just copy and paste it to save time in the hope it inundates them with the message and they actually do something about it - Im guessing a few visible public posts (twitter FB etc would help too but Im not on either):

Hi, I'm sending this on behalf of a blind friend of mine.

He advised me that after testing the app today for accessibility on his iPhone he came to the conclusion that the app is absolutely no good for people who are blind. He has suggested that you test the app using Apple's accessibility inspector so blind people can play the game on their phones using voice-over. The same goes for your website and anyone using a screen reader. At the moment he cannot select a player in his team unless he uses auto select!!!

Thanks for your help in advance,

Only a couple of weeks until the trials start! Shit yeah! Are we sending a team of fanatics scouts out to the games? I should be able to get to a few...
