NRL Fantasy 2019 Part 40

It would be funny if the powers that be decided that the problem with Fantasy is the scoring system and not the fact that their product never works properly for the first month of the competition.

Fantasy players like to heap scorn on Supercoach scoring, but if nothing else they do a better job of evening up the scoring ability between positions.

I'd still play Fantasy over supercoach if they both had the same scoring.
Fantasy has a better position mix (HLF, CTR WFB is better than HLF,FE, CTW, FLB)
Fantasy has live scoring and rank updates
Price changes from round 1 are much better than 2 free looks
Fantasy (used to) have drag and drop trades, maybe we could get that back.
The free bench and ranked subs is better than supercoach's AE system (with or without the poophole)
Fantasy don't have a paywall behind every single article about their product

Supercoach is much more professionally presented and marketed though

That was Butters spreading shit rumors based on an anonymous email. I think someone tweeted 'evidence' to CK and he had a good laugh at it.

OK, yeah my bad. I read it thinking it was a credible source, but that person has just come back to me saying its probably not true. My bad

Would be interesting to see what a Keebra Park 13 would look like. When some of their recent talents have reached their peak, would make a pretty good NRL side I expect.

It'd be a hell of a team.

Last season it took me ages to hit the 900. This season I already have 4 900+ rounds

last three: 827, 1070, 839

1 trade CNK -> SST

2 weeks unless he goes monster this week or alternatively goes very poorly will bottom out in 3 - 4 weeks.

Confirmation of surgery for Daly Cherry-Evans on his syndesmosis injury, Manly still expecting 6wk recovery (via @Danny_Weidler). Would usually be 6wks minimum if tightrope repair surgery. Past recovery times in NRL below. Though we have seen Foran looking good for a 6wk return

RIP QLD

I'm thinking capewell is gone for me this week and just milk garner and lawrie a touch longer

I have 200k in the bank so not sure who to take this week out of waddell, martin, farah (wait a week should be the smarter play), JTurbo, Tapau (last week a sign of return to full health? minutes still disappointing)

Capewell to waddell leaves 380k ITB for farah, martin and lolo in the next 2-3 weeks which makes me stronger and gives me 3 more R12 players

Good plan?

Any chance of Hodko? I know his scores have been shit but that was partnering DCE mostly I think. GK too perhaps?

What do you think of

Morgan > Reynolds
Niukore > Waddell

In theory yes, but why is Waddell a trade in?

who is best option to cash out lawrie for and just reminding people AFB is coming back this week and waddells scorees have only been good since AFB

I'm off the Waddell train. I need someone less than 315k...

Supercoach does a much better job marketing their product, with really good pre-round shows that stream live on FB and live discussion of teams, impacts etc, not just CK and some random occasionally chatting. SC don't have it perfect either, but they present what they have much more effectively. Nothing to do with how games are scored. When it is more based on who happens to score a try that week, it just makes it more random, rather than skill based.

Talking about supercoach. One of my mates is in the top 25 at the moment. Both of us killing it this season so far

I don't think there is anyone.. yet

He's a game managing halfback and a goal kicker. Unless he's injured, which is pretty likely these days, he'd have to be in good contention to play 7.

Terrible fantasy scorer though.

Johnson to Bateman (finally) for me I think. The downgrade will be TLT dependent but Waddell is an option

Apparently Sironen may play at 6 for Manly.

I might have to remove my red circle from Waddell.
