NRL Fantasy 2019 Part 37

The teams are picked after the round prior to Origin 2. QLD tend to pick theirs on the Sunday night and NSW tend to pick theirs the Monday morning. So this means they only get 7-8 days in camp for Origin 2.

EDIT: So Origin 2 teams will be picked after the completion of RD 14 this year.

If we're being generous Rein scores 50 for the next 6 weeks, including a 50 in week 12, and then you trade him. Meanwhile Cook scores 60 for 5 weeks and gets a 0 for week 12, which is ignoring how useful he is as a consistent captain and ignores all the scores >60 that he probably gets, and you have the same amount of points scored in the same time. This example also ignores the amount of money you save buying underpriced guns, which people are doing for the likes of Ponga and Teddy and Cleary, where the differences between players in their position is even more drastic

Which is 3 days less then normal prep. So asking a lot more of origin players this year.

How could these players not be rested the week after. I think it's a 3 week minimum still.

No, because instead of backing it up after a Wednesday game where they may only get 1-2 days rest (pending if they play thursday or friday) they get Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday after Origin to recover. Go through the Origin teams last year and tell me how many players played Round 14, 16 and 18 (games after origin).

No no no. My dates are in reference to origin game 2.

I admit nothing.

And i'f im wrong i'll be silent and hope nobody notices.

Yep see this is why I don't want to focus too much on bye rounds. Holding on to average players who play one bye round that might get outscored in the meantime by a gun keeper to the point where the difference is negligible.

Yes but they had a full 10 days off before that.

Now they have 7.

But I take your point that they now get an extra 3 days off after.

Wonder if that moves the scales in the other direction enough.

ok............i see now.




































That im always right
