NRL Fantasy 2019 Part 43

Geez the Dogs games are boring. No zip at all. One off the ruck and that's it.

Oh ho Rueben........don’t take your points to town.

Lomax over Garner? I feel Lomax will easily get 30

There is no way he can't play 50 minutes every week.

Trade Garner to someone under 787k?

3 weeks in a row Waddell plays longer minutes than Taupau. Really hope Manly start losing games starting next week.

They get paid fucking good money, players should be able to play the majority of the game.

This is what i try and look at a lot, see who is really gassed, or tired but ultimately ok to play on. It's astonishing if guys can't play 80 mins of football each week.

So. There I was. Going great guns this round before today’s car crash. Back to where I started....but, 6 fine exponents of the game to come. Ponga, CHT, Twal, Burr, Lawrie and SIVO!!, the gun POD

I have Taupau, but Manly are winning. Maybe Des knows what he's doing? Fantasy players need to react to what's happening in real life, not the other way around.

Best options I can see out of there that haven't played yet are Farah (781k), RTS (759k) and maybe SST (718k). I'd say maybe just hold this week and get a gun HLF if you don't have one for wait for some of the guns to fall in price after lockout (Lolo, Farah)

There has to some insane reason (Des ) for why Marty gets such limited minutes. Those of us on the planet can only shake our heads in wonder.

Yes but how does having Taupau out there over Waddell make them worse? It doesn't.

Yeah so is it all over coached to the point of ludicrucy, where the thought that if my guy is  fresh and rested I will get the most out of him, in replace of fit and firing 80 min footballer not being possible, less effective etc.

It's not 100% fantasy focused, any talk like this re minutes is purely game related. But both go hand in hand for us punters.

Meh, I'll trade Garner next week, no one standing out for a trade. Actually can't take Xerri's score I was mistaken. So Garner or Lomax?

620/12(c) with Teddy, Ponga, CHT, Lawrie and Mahoney left

Rollercoaster of a week, even with trading Garner, him being named in 13 and then being benched

It’s fucked isn’t it? He gets paid $700k p.a. to play 1 game a week.....for 40 minutes. Plus some running around at training.

I got paid $100 a win and $50 a loss, played 80 minutes every week and this steroid muncher wouldn’t have got within 3 feet of me as I made him look stupid. Make the cunts earn their money ffs

He will end up with us and Robbo will have him playing 80 dont worry.

Well you can rant about it, or you can react to what's happening. I get it, it's frustrating, but 18000 posts about how Des is a wanker doesn't get Taupau more minutes.

They mentioned Taupau off with ankle injury in 1st half but ok to come back on second half.
