NRL Fantasy 2019 Part 23

I sold Holland & got Bird. Talking about the fantasy gods I bet now the Bulldogs & Holland suddenly hit form & Holland outscores Bird. It's always the way haha.

That's a very good point.  What was Niko's defence like at Hooker?  

I'm not sure but I just remember him being gassed all the time

My old league mates shoulder was like Widdops & the joint was so loose his shoulder would pop out easily but he reckoned it didn't hurt & he would just pop it back in when we were playing.

Mate, I've got some issue with my ligaments, particularly ankles and shoulders. I had 2 seasons snowboarding in Japan and by the end of that time, every time I crashed I'd dislocate either one of my shoulders or ankles. Got one ankle fixed when I got home when I dislocated it again playing soccer (could finally use ACC). But yeah, once those ligaments get stretched, you are pretty fucked! Even if you have an op - if your ligaments have a tendency to stretch (ACC gave it some funny medical name) then you are pretty much stuffed.

I pretty much avoid all activities where I can re-injure any of those joints... it sux.

A big game is in store for Holland & the Poodles, just not sure when.

So the bench is now Tevaga, LAM, I. Papalii, Beale. Looks like Burr will move into the front row rotation.

Has he played FRF? I would have thought Blair into the middle and him to an edge

That is a good possibility too. SK said after the Wests game that the team was lazy. I think 1 of the players he was referring to was Blair. It makes sense to move him into the front row rotation because he's useless & does nothing on the edge so imo he's better in the middle where he has to pull finger & do some work.

Catching up on thread and Capt Hindsight says "yes"



PS: This only happened because Aitken was way off his position and Norman had to pass it to Ravalawa. It's not given that this might be repeated again this season unless off course Aitken goes for a stroll again.

Tore up every cent I saved... for gillett.

Seriously... fk that guy.

Garner is taking his spot in my 13 and I’ll get anyone else

Surely he goes back to the edge now they are at full strength again?

Still will be tempted to grab a fit again Crichton

Who says Bird is broken?

He scored 37. That is higher than his long term average at centre.

I've said it before but I'll say it again. Some of you people have completely unrealistic expectations of your fantasy players.

Aitken gets a lot of shite on the Dragons forums but imo he had an awesome game last night & his defense, speed & evasive skills were top notch. He definitely dominated Bird. In fact he looks like he's a couple of yards quicker this year. But he still hogs the ball & only looks to pass when he has no other option which is great for fantasy but not great for Ravalawa.

I got lucky jumping off Gillett this week. In the medium term I still think I kinda fucked up but I'll take it for now.

Ive also traded out Morgan so lets see how that goes

Aggressive mate and before that fixture

But well played. You were absolutely right. He’s not a good option. Player like him needs to be 70-80mins

I was happy with Bird scoring 37, that's still above par for the guy

I had hoped Gillett would've at least scored near his BE this round before trading him out next week. Now my trade plans might fall short on cash.

I've cunningly avoided all the tough decisions with Gillet by just holding Sironen. Which is in no way worrying and will work out well.



...until the next HIA...

Yep - my first ever boss was an ex reserve grade stalwart kinda guy through his 20s and in his mid 30s, his shoulder would pop out very frequently... maybe a coupla times a month. He'd just calmly walk to the counter, lean over it and nudge it back in. He reckoned he couldnt run without it popping out - not that he ever ran anywhere, unless the buffet was closing.

Sure, but thats with a rubbish try. It's not often he'll get a third of his points because the opposition FB pops his shoulder out and gifts him the ball at the 1.

Does anyone on here have the teamname Super Crunchy Peanut Butter? Somehow have drawn him in 2 separate h2h rounds this week and fortunately he captained Gillett

I'm definitely fine with Bird at the moment

Sold Holland last week for Bird at 433k to 323k and now Bird should be around 447k so I've already gained 120k on Bird and his price has gone past what Holland's was
