NRL Fantasy 2019 Part 23

Haha, love the post loss off the rails stuff.

You dont win games when you drop that much ball. A better team than the dragons would of put that game away long before full time.

Change that up mate, not like you!

Figure of speech bud. I don’t actually want house fires, let alone people in them!

It was my extreme way of saying he’s a trade for me already

Welshy mate he did play 40-50

Really loved watching Mr. Ravalawa play tonight. The guy was taking up the 1st or 2nd hit up on sets out of his half, was looking strong running the kick off out of his half. The only issue is not getting much ball, but the more he stands out the better. Lafai is good, and played really well last week so that confidence probably plays a part to why he didn't pass it as much and tried to take on the line.

Host is getting massive minutes still, he is just stuck helping out the Dragons right side defence. Which as mentioned a lot here and on tv has been poor. They shut down a couple nice plays on that side. I thought Host did well overall during the game he just didn't see much action.

Lawrie looks like an absolute workhorse when he is on the field, but with K. Sims having such a stint it makes me worry about having him in my 17 next week.

Bird I just didn't really notice except when he was falling off tackles, the try is nice though.

I know mate its the speculation about it dipping when Frizz returns

Lawrie Macca bird and Vaughan tonight. No real complaints. Extra 5 points for bird Lawrie and Macca would be enough to me make me happy. Vaughan somehow how got about 20 pts in last 10mins

Glad Pangai settler down after a frantic start full of negatives. Didnt expect 70 mins from him, but he looked up for the mins. Noticed he was definitely conserving energy mid second half.

35 from bird is fine. 

Stoked with Vaughans score.

Host in nprs, whatever that will do.

Traded Macca>Bird. In the end I'm happy with the result for tonight but it was a scary ride. Will allow Kahu>Teddy next week. Now I just need to decide whether to do the second part of this weeks trade, Edwards>CNK.

Yeah, but Graham/Vaughan/Korbin are better and can play 55/60/55. Leaves 70 mins plus a breather for Frizz for the three bench forwards. Lawrie could still get 40 mins/30-35 points and another couple of weeks of rises but not much more than that.

Korbin is shit mate, best used in short explosive stints. I doubt Mary uses him like that though and Host can't last much longer surely.

I feel sorry for widdop. Sucks for him. Funny how things work out though. First with lomax onto bench, and now the injury, the dumb ol spine shuffle is finished, but not because of Mary.

Im gonna say that Frizell comes back as lock and Lawrie bench. Host will keep that edge role. Wasnt it rumoured that Mary wanted Lawrie off the bench anyway?

Someone tell JT and Lockyer to put a collar on. They look like a pack of jive turkeys

Not sure what you were watching with Lafai not passing the ball to Ravalawa? Were you meaning Aitken?

Ravalawa played outside Aitken all game, probably would have scored a couple times too if Aitken passed on those breaks.
Can't complain with 35pts, but Lafai is setting up Pereira every week, what could have been if they played what their numbers said

He's not good for 80. Better off with niko coming off the bench and playing dummy half.

Staggs needs to get more game time.

Boyd can fuck off already.

Nikorima shouldn't even be at the club still. Never rated him and never will.

Macca is gone soon for me. Was hoping going into the season for a small uptake but it’s nowhere to be seen it seems

Macca to Tedesco next week and Hughes into my halves

TPJ Lock next week does Gillet go bench or in for Glenn/Fifita. If Gillet goes to the edge I think I’ll hold him. Will see more attacking footy. 


If updates can push him above 30 I’ll accept that. I wonder how those people that traded him in after round 1 are feeling.

64 from 2 is not ideal. Happy Rava has started his cash gen again. Only up from here. Only have 2 tomorrow (CNK and Mahoney ). The ranking should take a big leap on Saturday and Sunday with 7 and 6 a piece.

Lawrie will probably play 40mins off bench like round 1 for 35-40pts
Purely a stop gap/cash generator so just enjoy the ride

Bronco's forwards minutes are a shit fight to work out though like predicted pre season.
Need to wait for it to settle I think before I take the plunge, TPJ/Fifita look good but the Broncos have a couple more players back soon to throw into the mix
Messy

I like and own Lawrie too, but Korbin offers 300% more offensively and changed the dynamic off the bench. FWIW I think that's their better rotation - Lawrie starting solid then Korbin impact, but Korbin will get more minutes. And, no, Host only last as long as Friz's balls are in strife.
