NRL Fantasy 2019 Part 40

I have actually had an eye on him for a while and after this weekend's score I feel it is a good time to bring him in. Bit of a POD too.

Shout out to my homies 'The Niche Cache' - if you enjoy great NZ Sports updates ensure you give them a follow, on whatever social medium you prefer. They posted these stats on Twitter recently:

"Per @NRL, Sio Siua Taukeiaho is 8th in run metres despite being 22nd in total number of runs. Otara's finest averages 11.35m/run. For context, Jahrome Hughes is 1st in run metres and averages 10.37m/run."

"Taukeiaho is 4th in post contact metres and averages 3.6 pcm/run."

"Also low key important is that Taukeiaho only averages 0.5 errors, 0.5 missed tackles and 0.2 penalties conceded. That's via Fox Sports."

Wouldn't put it past myself tbph

How many rd12 players is everyone aiming for? I remember being the best planned in our mates league and had a big leg up but I geniunely can’t remember how I did it. I think I’m aiming for ~13 this year

Get 'em to give me access to the code. I'll fix it tonight!

While you're at it, can you fix all the other bugs in the app? Off the top of my head:
- averages in the player profiles
- leagues matchups that show neither accurate scores, or actual opponent lineups (therefore totally useless)
- trade centre that works more than every third time.
- ability to see more than the top 40 in the rankings.

Cheers in advance

Just caught up on the Forum and loving the Waddell love, great player to watch and wouldn't surprise me if he cracks the starting side in the next few weeks.
In a bit of a pickle right now and would love your lads opinions.

Option A - Munster CHT (HLF) Teddy Ponga CNK (WFB)
Option B - Reynolds CHT (HLF) Teddy Ponga CNK (WFB)
Option C - Ponga CHT (HLF) Teddy RTS CNK (WFB)

Basically who is the best option out of Munster, Reynolds and RTS. I am personally leaning towards RTS, allows me to not touch my WFB for probably rest of the year (pending injury) and there seams to be a flurry of options in halves this year. L.Leiws (Average of 55 when Foran is Beside him), SJ (Dirt cheap soon and will kill it when the sharks are injury free later in the season), DCE (Must have) and obviously the two mentioned above. Also in the WFB department there is very little depth with TTurbo the only player who would be worth a consideration to bring in but the hammy is a major worry. 

BTW Banner looks sharp, great Job LB

Cheers lads.

He's not on my radar. TBH I'm stuck with bias from having him at the start of last season. Cant shake it!

Gotta love bellyache.

Q. Would munster be a good qld captain
A. Yeah He'd get the job done for 3 games.

Q. Would he make a good club captain
A.  Prob not, at this stage it would weigh him down

I should have changed by Team Name to Goodnight Kiwi this year, will do so next year.

Understand some people want anonymity, but perhaps the Manager of each league could see who is up for it? Crate a bit more banter and chat....

You can change your team name in the My Account section of fantasy.nrl.com

I just changed mine to: Chewie - NRLFF

This is my round 12 team for now.

Tolman
Taupau
Bateman(C)
Moses
Cartwright
Croker
Klokky
$$
Rein
Sutton
Tatola
Ogden
Kahu

They say 13 is an unlucky number, but I’ll take my chances.

Is Twal to Bateman too sideways?

Bateman is a must have this year

Twal looked like a must have for his price a couple weeks ago but has pooed the bed a little. Not a big poo but enough for him to have to change his dacks.

I'd keep him and find another way to get Bateman.

I am really tempted to do it. I can do it in one trade (By a mere thousand dollars). I only recently got Twal but it is a way to get Bateman in my team without too much disruption.

Good idea. Changed to NRLFF WT2K - sitting 5th in NRLFF overall league

Well ill have to trade out DCE with a 4-6 week timeline then Origin.

I’ve got 15 keepers and a couple of border liners. Quite happy with that.
