NRL Fantasy 2019 Part 25

Here's a list of all the injured players this week:
Benji, Burns, Cleary (didn't gk due to groin problem but played 80 mins), Garner (finished the game looked fine), Widdop, Peats, Friend, JWH, Gallen, Moylan, Luke, Cronk, Watson, Moeroa, Sezer & GI.

I ended up on 762 & dropped rank from 1,789 to 3,437 which raises plenty of issues in my team. I need a decent scoring 2nd frf, Lane & Arrow sucking but they will stay, I need a decent scoring 2nd half, Burns out will need to be replaced so Tedesco will probably come in, Mahoney sucking but with all the issues I have he'll have to wait, Sele time in the 17 will end probably this round when Kikau returns & lastly Cook just not scoring relative to his price & it's like he's saving himself not running a lot or it's probably Bennett killing another fantasy gun.
My trade targets this week will be 2 from Tedesco/Turbo/Ponga, Bateman, Twal, Rein, L. Lewis. So many holes in my team & so many players I need lol.

Could have cracked 900 thisweek. Instead I get Burns' 8, Gillet's 20 something, Cooks shit captain and another bunch of 20-30 somethings. Feel free to mock me, somehow I've ended up with Glasby in my 17.

But I managed 818. Overall inside the top 1000, 13th in the FOG, THAT'S LEAGUE 1 !!!

This is my highest ranking ever. Stop the comp NOW !!!!

Kodi on a 'deliver or be dropped' order doesn't surprise me, but I doubt his replacement would be Dargan.

O'Sullivan and Dearden are the next in line halves, Siebold stated this around the time of round 1.

Dearden only just turned 18 and is seen as the future. He was only going to play U18's for the first half of the year, but they put him up to Q Cup on the weekend and he played really well (apparently, I did not see it).

Has anyone noticed how annoyed Siebold gets with Dobbo? Any time dobbo asks him a question, Siebolds response is spoken with the tone of "uhh, just fuck off dobbo"

hehe - hate to state the obvious, but the page says at the top what round the current list is for.

I've updated now. I let the formula generate the magic number and it came out to 14045 - I'm not sure if that is correct, my formula may not be right - but the BE's on my site are a few points higher than Milch's by the looks.

I can re-generate with a higher magic number, thoughts, Milch?

Macca -> Rein
Burns -> Crichton this week

Feels like a good upgrade; have to play Sivo/Rava at WFB though

It’s either Bateman or Rein this week for me sadly... unless I trade out Macca

Macca and Rein likely going to score similarly. Bateman to outscore both... hard one

I'm a Hughes owner. I'll be keeping him this week, but might look at upgrading him to Ponga next week if it looks like Ponga is going to play at FB long-term

nothing like the worst day for bullshit and misinformation to fall immediately after a week-end of fantasy carnage , fantasy aside, I already have a passionate hatred for how many times this morning i've thought "WHAT THE F- oh... right..."

Now here's a crazy idea, would you trade out a cow before they've peaked if you think it's to the benefit of your team?

With Burns a trade-out now to hopefully Xerri and moving Sivo to WFB for a week or two, I need as many solid scorers as possible so I'm going to keep Macca and Capewell for at least one more round.

I still want Rein though and honestly Keighran seems like the best person to make way in my team. Would cost the least money to move and frankly going by his recent scores, if he's going to outscore his BE it won't be by much.
I know the Titans can't defend and historically the Warriors have carved them up but maybe more accurately it was SJ who always carved them up. I think getting Rein may be more important than the cash generated.

Maybe it is Deardon i couldnt really hear over the mechanics fucking about when i got in. All i heard as he was 18 and played intrust super cup for the first time recently and his last name started with a D sound

Im tempted by Ponga. I have a feeling he'll hit his BE this week

141st 

Nice comeback

Im just glad zero tackle stopped the predictable SBW headline. They've replaced it with Semi this year

He scored terrible against the bunnies in 2018 as well, they must be his fantasy kryptonite

yeah, that's Dearden.

Ah right, yep - that is Deardon.

Dargan is a little older now and has been playing Q Cup for a couple years, has fallen down the pecking order though.

Sorry guys that wasn't intentional!

Help!

Hopfully Matt Dufty losses a bit more coin this week. Hes already so cheap i know he can be infuriating with his fluctuating scores but for less than $450k i think he is a bargain

FWIW, though not terribly relevant to fantasy, Brennan said that Ash Taylor and Tyrone Roberts will both travel to NZ this week, but not sure if either will play.

Thats the hard one. When Watson is back, do they continue with the experiment?
