NRL Fantasy 2019 Part 32

A fallen gun that could be a decent pick up if he stays front row with big mins, which he should. Plays round 12, looks threatening close to the line.

Only a matter of time til he crashes over for a try and a huge score. Had been eyeing him off the last few weeks but may move on him sooner rather than later now as he will be back on his way up and got the extra minutes I was looking for from him

Mine isn't nearly as big or as good as some of the guys around here, but it is average. It gets the job done, pleases some people.

322 from 6.

The blokes with cheerios say it’s not how big it is, it’s how you use it.
Me? Hung like an elephant.

4/238.

Jesus only 4 on the pitch. I’ve had 9 play, including captain. No wonder for my meteoric yet very short-term rank rise

Yeah I've had 8C play, went up a meagre 11k places. Please can we stop now, seriously? I don't wanna go back to the losers corner

The other thing with live ranks, with injuries making looping more common now, a bunch of scores won't get added until 6pm Sunday, so there's the chance for a big ranking jump/drop once the AEs get calculated

Edwards to Haas next week lol goodbye $200k... Up 6k ranks though. Opposite to my huge slide last week. Hopefully Fifita feels like sharing the work around lol

359/7

In Gal we trust, old man Pull won't let fifi get too much ball if he can help it.

298/6 here and currently up from 1700th to 1000th.
You lot must be flying up the ranks.

I thought everyone had the same team now, so am surprised I'm 286/6 (fucking Bird)

Seriously though, looking at everyone's trades everyone is getting the same team.

Well if filth is doing it.... 493/8C.
Great start but could go anywhere with pods like Wighton and Lewis still to come and being forced to play Rava. Suspect that somehow someway I'm still going to fall short of 800. Still, as Welshy said, a bird in the hand.

Yeah it's why I like some of the left field options that come up here. Easy to fall into group think. Wish I had the balls to pick some of the good options like Farah or AFB when it mattered lol

Great start to the round for my team, Morgan the lowest score at 46. Just waiting for the onslaught. I don't think I've ever had a perfect round where all my players scored within expectations. It would be nice if it happened this week

Couldn't Ryan James wait a couple rounds longer?
Now we've got Crichton, Ponga and RJames all ripe for the picking at the same time. I need a 3 trades week

Nice score. Lewis and Wighton are great options. Still considering Wighton over Ponga. Looks like a consistent scorer and plays 12

Just the opposite. I’ve only played 3 so far for 178, and my rank has gone from 293 to 2549.

What changed with his role?

Guys Ive only had four play. Rank plummeting!! Let me catch up!!

Re James. Interesting that his scores are improving rapidly. I guess he might be only now back to 100% fitness after the injury in pre season.

Edit: only noticed the 34 in 42 mins last week at full strengrh. Odd

James started the season on the edge but has played the last few rounds in the middle

He played 2nd row for the first games which is not great for his fantasy output. Got switched back to prop last week, but only had 40 odd minutes. Played 69 minutes this round and had a belter.
