NRL Fantasy 2019 Part 29

I haven’t been watching cook too closely, appart from knowing he hasn’t maintained is scoring/price. Is he value? Or has his role changed, and his current output likely to be the norm?

being handed the warriors no 6 jersey is like inheriting a smoking gun

I've made many. Even though I'm burning trades, all have been worthwhile bar Capewell, but had to get Rein middle of last round

OUTS:
Lane
Radley
Holland
Glasby
Sivo (to Lawrie so slight upgrade and FRF backup)
Capewell (reluctant but Rein will be there longer + scores + money)

The annoying thing is I don't have genuine keepers like Cook, Fifita, Smith, Farah, Teddy. Fifita just keeps pumping out the digits man, it's crazy. Cook is at his cheapest so I'll pick him up. But got Dedwards which is a pain when others have Teddy.

Just read a article bout Glasby switching to the front row. Might be a hold. Still have to wait and see if the switch helps his score any.

As long as I start conserving trades soon I reckon I'll be good to go

I haven't focused on the byes when picking players but I am focusing on them with trade ins / trade outs now. Hopefully allows me to save trades when everyone else is burning them leading into round 12.

Such a wookie error

This deserves more likes than it’s going to get. Calling it very early.

Hopefully this post loops likes back up but what are you setting as a benchmark for the likes count mate?  My breakdown:

the pun itself is worse 6 minimum;
the speed of delivery, another 2;
the after attention from both yourself and I probably Garner's ( ) another 4.


So I think a 12 Break Even is about right.  My concern is the time of day it was conceived is historically a low traffic time.  Also, it was posted low in the page at around 17th, sometimes can be skimmed.  

Would be interested in your thoughts Fort?

Likely more than what my team will score tonight lol

Pretty keen to see how ponga looks today. If he goes well and is named at fullback when watson is back I mifht have to pick him up and slot him into the halves with morgo. Back up plan will be to target Crichton or Bateman.

If it scores about a carty. I reckon it’s had enough. Sub carty is a bit to Edwards for my liking.

I started the season with him, based on the expectation he was going to be doing some of the kicking and still running the ball a fair amount. The first half of the first game it was looking great, 4 kicks, 8 points from kicking (including a try assist kick), then since then basically no kicking game.

His game has changed for the worse and he didnt get the upside I originally picked him for. The game this week had to go to overtime to get past his starting price points value for the first time and included a try save. Under Bennett he is not the gun hooker that he was last season and you aren't buying value at this price, just more of the same, like any other decent hooker 80 minute hooker in the game. Also not a set and forget captaincy choice this season.

So who is the premier hooker this year? Farah?

I currently have rein, Macca and Mahoney. The mediocrity is immense

I knew that when I traded him. Unfortunately, Napa has already kick started his cash generation and with a bump in minutes and improved role I should be able to ride him *whispers big Papi* to Rd 17... Keep your eyes peeled for our tape... Better than Glasby could

In fairness, I think Cook only got 2 points in the extra time. Pretty sure he was 67, ended up on 69, updated to 70. At least this week most of his points were base stats (minus the TS).

Nathan (White Lightning) Ross may have retired during the week, but our own is still going strong. Happy Birthday WL

Happy birthday WL

He traded himself in this week. Then scored his highest for the year.

That's all I need to know.

Jurbo said his brother will be out 4-5 weeks

I wonder what the most liked post has been?

Whats the deal with Stimson? Thought he was injured but just saw he was playing reserve grade. I was looking to pick him up when he was back. Did he get dropped or something?
