NRL Fantasy 2019 Part 43

590/13 captain Bateman

Feel like I’m well above average in terms of carnage this season. I’ve barely missed any of it after getting all the common ones (double for captain Bateman) and then injuries for slight PODs in friend (double on his off early week), James, and burns who I started with and people were jumping on

Still hoping to scrape top 1000 this week but I’m assuming that’s unlikely

Whinge over. Too early for a drink?

Really want to forget yesterday happened Fantasy wise.
Just had one player in each game: Bateman, Tolman, Tedesco.
Ouch!

Moved from rank 200 to 2000 so far this round.
Averages do not have me passing 800. Fantasy is cruel.

674(C) with CHT, Ponga, Burr & Sivo to play.

655 with Ponga, Sivo, Lawrie, Burr and CHT to go. Rank 624 now.

Welshy, hit me with the avatar.

617/12 with Vaughan, rts, ponga, Mahoney and lawrie. Get the feeling I could walk off this round feeling really chuffed, or really annoyed.

760(c) with RTS, Ponga and Mahoney to play. Slowly recoving from capt Farah's 8 points 2 weeks ago.

It's frustrating when you get hit by a number of different injuries early in the season.
I only got hit by injuries with Burns & Bateman so far this season. Who were/are owned by most coaches. I didn't have Friend, Tolo, Farah, SJ, James, Turbo, or DCE in my team so avoided most of the carnage.
Sitting in 250th spot at the moment with 5 players still to play today, so will probably be back in the top 100 by the end of the day.
I'm looking at bringing Tolo and Farah in this week, or maybe Arey (injury risk?)

Panthers are a train smash with casualties.  Nearly the entire forward pack is awaiting scans

Nice charge over the last few weeks Rabs! You should be in the top 300 by the end of the day

Currently 646/13 with Mahoney, Lawrie, Burr & Ponga. Hoping for 200 points from that lot.
Just caught up with the 32 pages & as a Cleary owner rapt he scored a 50 but it seems he needs a try to achieve a 50 score & not playing the last 12 minutes he could of scored in the 60's which is an opportunity lost.
Looking at round 12 I'm just not feeling any of the round 12 players. The likes of CHN (he did not impress), Kikau (looked good but injured) & R. Martin (played 80 mins for a 45 score so undecided) who were highly mentioned but for the reasons I've listed don't look like it's worth wasting a trade just to get numbers. This is just my opinion though & you guys might be of a different opinion.

Nice recovery HB

With Bateman needing to be traded out & with 116k in the bank I think I'll bring in some round 12 players. I think JFH will be 1 of them as he'll be locked in for 80 minutes (even though he already is) with the injuries losing both the 2nd rowers (Yeo & Kikau). The 2nd trade will be between Taupau or Taumalolo. Now Taupau makes me nervous as Des is killing his minutes also as mentioned in previous comments Taupau looked gassed even with the low minutes he played. Taumalolo I could probably wait on as his price will continue to fall for a few weeks. Even though he doesn't play round 12 I've been wanting to get Twal for ages & I might get him & wait on Taupau & Taumalolo until round 12.

Good stuff mate. Even the best managers need a bit of luck with injuries in this game

There will be some worse off somewhere that’s for sure

Hoping the tide turns

Should be some more interesting cows at least from some of the carnage

I wasn't watching too closely, did Liddle play dummy half when he came on and Farah lock?

Kinda glad I saved 2 trades this weekend, Bird can go into Centre for Bateman however not sure who to Bring in - Flanno looks ok but would have to have him in my 17 Morgan is causing me grief but just doing enough.

Hopefully good news for very patient Sele owners!

Farah went to 6, Matterson went to lock

For sure, already made 111k and with a BE of 6 he wasn't going anywhere, especially with all the other weekly patch ups to tinker on.

Which side is Maumalo on? SKD side?

Thanks mate. Presumably only this week. Wonder what happens going forward. Liddle back to reserves?
