NRL Fantasy 2019 Part 26

100%. I feel like i've been cheating on him so far this season

Considering pearce as well and watson (low priority at the moment) too at discounted prices

All depends on if the ponga to FB move is permanent

Teddy v Bateman is becoming a headache.

ATM Bateman is cheaper than Teddy but this will be the last week he is. Bateman looking like a better score than Teddy. Raiders against Cowboys and Roosters against Broncos so I am hoping Teddy only manages around 45. Bateman will be a 55+ scorer for the year and I want him now rather than later. Bateman is also yet to score a try and I can see it happening against a lacklustre Cowboys side. Thinking of ditching Gillett this week as I am more confident having Edwards in my 17 rather than Sivo. I am taking a punt on Edwards and Panthers shining with Kikau back. I will then get Tedesco next week and more than likely Ponga/Crichton… or both if I can the week after and by then I will hopefully have a line up looking like this, with only a few more upgrades around the park (FRF, WFB, Bench, HLF)

Cook
Fifi Tolman
Murray Arrow Crichton
Hughes/Morgan Ponga
Bateman Nikora
Tedesco CNK Burns

Rein Garner Bird Xerri
Cow Cow Cow Cow

If I go Teddy this week I think it’ll be harder to get a team like this as soon.
This is all Wishful thinking.

943
857
713

...600?  

Turbo looked like he was at another level on the weekend. Not sure if he was just pumped to be back but he was in everything, ran hard and fast and just looked like he had improved a lot. He ebbs and flows though so will be good to see how he goes this weekend.

R1 - 908
R2 - 825
R3 - 772

An 830 + score would be great this week

I see that as a bottoming out before an exponential rise! Thought?

I am gonna keep Burns and Gillett for now

I just went Friend to Rein and Borris to Ponga. I reckon that is pretty solid. With any luck, Gillet, Lane & Mahoney are back to 50 this week.

OVERALL RANK

ROUND 1: 3841st
ROUND 2: 4197th
ROUND 3: 4644th

Sorry to say to all the fanatics crew, we were well below par last week. I rose at least 40 spots in the fantasy league but fell in the overall rankings. The fantasy gods were not with us at all last week. So out with it, who has been committing adultery and taking Fiona's name in vain.

 That's why I'm going with Captain Bateman   this week!

hooker coverage ?

I'm keeping an eye on Roache . Luke seems to be struggling with his hammy and may be looking at a longer stint on the sidelines at some stage this season.

I don’t think Bateman will go ballistic against the Cowboys. No 2RF has gotten above 45 against them this season

Score:

Week 1: 880
Week 2: 842
Week 3: 791

Weekly Rank:

Week 1: 4,208
Week 2: 2,549
Week 3: 11,603

Overall Rank:

Week 1: 4,208
Week 2: 1,520
Week 3: 1,775

Yep, I went from 57th to about 30th in the FOG but dropped from 1500th to 1800th. :/

Everytime I read Bateman this theme song comes into my head https://youtu.be/VSaDPc1Cs5U

Ok I think for this week I want to get on the bateman train before it's too late and strengthen my WFB so i'm thinking of doing Mccullough to bateman and friend to tedesco. This mans keeping burns to save the trade and because I like him. Will attempt to learn how to do the thing that shall not be named so that it doesn't hurt me as much

Leaves 59k itb
host to Xerri or best looking cow next week hopefully still giving me the 70-80k I want to help turn mahoney into ponga or crichton

Future plans at some point are lane to tapine and morgan or hughes to pearce and I guess I will need another hooker..

Team for context is

Macca
Tolman Fifita
Murray Arrow Lane
Morgan Keighran
Capewell Nikora
CNK Hughes Burns

Friend Mahoney Rein Garner

Lawrie Host Brown Rava

Would love some input lads. Am I just chasing last week's points too hard?

Thanks for raining on my parade Alfie... I'm still going to take the punt on Bateman 

Ponga could go big this weekend at fullback against the Dragons left edge defence Rava, Aitken and host I think.

50k cheaper than teddy, has the dual position. Both just as good picks

Ponga BE is pretty big. He only his that BE 3 times last year. Worth a wait and see, could take them a week or two to get back into the groove.

Ponga, Teddy, Crichton, Bateman all gettable targets in the next 3-4 weeks

POW! BIF! SOCK! OOOF! BAM!

If Gillett is named at second row does he take the 80 minute job from Glenn? Gillett's 80 minute record at second row is quite good.
