2019 NRL.com Fantasy thread part 3

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?

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.

First place I saw it was on Twitter posted by the handle NRL_Physio. Now are they a doctor or had any medical training, who knows. It's not an official account.

Note they aren't talking about Fantasy buys here, but best buys for their respective clubs.

Yeah, I think so. Especially early doors with Cook not being widely picked in starting teams. I have Smith in my team at the moment (draft number 4,219) so he'll likely get the C if he hangs around

Blindside wrote: Hi all, after testing the app today for accessibility on my iPhone I have come to the conclusion that it is basically rooted. 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!!! On the app, he basically can't do anything because no elements are labelled correctly. #JusticeForBlindside #Accessibility

Thanks for your help in advance,

You're worried that Cook isn't going to be allowed to scoot much this season?

TheWeapon wrote: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...

A bit. I love a scoot though. I just think I can pick him up cheaper while not losing too many points. Balance feels better without him. I'm sure I'll change my mind a number of times!

mattnz wrote:

Yeah I dont see him getting more expensive, only downside is who to captain each week to start if you don't have him.

I am deliberately stacking my team with borderline guns that have upside, but it makes choosing a reliable captain difficult.
