NRLFF 2006 Fantasy thread - Round 12- bye bye Inglis

Some absolute shitto scores mixed in with some monsters for me this week

861, no too bad....

Thanks heaps Milch!

Lol Carney is definitely your textbook boom or bust player.

Holding the faith in Reni paid off.  Those stats from the bench are crazy.  

Parker, holy shit!

Laffranchi 57 without a try... finally!

Hang my balls on the clothes line! I brought in this Koopu fella last week as the ultimate POD but then at the last minute, as my PM was typed, I changed it to SBW. No issue with SBW, but wouldn't this have been sweet to be on this. The dude's been pretty consistent generally too. His name kept standing out week after week near the top of the scores... would have been cool to take that punt.

Was really hoping for better from Carney. :/

Yep, I was hoping for better from him for 11 rounds which is why I dumped him. Not too sad this round, but I'm guessing there are better scores to come.

First round that I've felt my trades actually went big. Glad to finally get another 800+ score. Meant to put Aiton in my NPR but forgot, I guess that worked out nicely.

Tongue still going cold...

Ignore the top two and that seems a bit more mixed up than usual. I’m still just in the middle, as per usual.

results behind spoiler in case you want to watch it first

Spoiler:

Fuck this Aiton guy. Played him in my 17 twice last week and he scored a -3 and a 2 (artistic license) and now I put him at 21 and the fucker scores 57? What the fuck's he playing at?

filthridden wrote:AITON!!!!

Pity he's in my 18-21 along with Gordon's 46 and Stapleton's 42

Haha. I've got two of those three in my NPR too. I think I played Gordon this week, though.

Clack Bocks wrote:Wtf aiton. I hate you

Quoted for truth. A truth with which I agree, is what I mean.

filthridden wrote:Dean Collis has been a pleasant surprise.
Averaging almost 40 with only one score under 25.

Yep, I think I was looking at possibly moving him on soon, but this will keep him around a little longer. He's definitely pretty solid.

Parker, holy shit!

Yep, me reversing my Brian Carney trade this week definitely looking a bit better now. Dodged a bullet... this week. Not so much next week when he'll no doubt score a couple of 100's.

Nice work with Reni.

Agree regarding Parker. That score & no tries? Wow. I guess that's why everyone brought him in.

Oh shit, first time I've cracked 800. What an achievement. Maybe I can leapfrog from 2nd last to 3rd last?

In his defence I think I'm only one or two points above him (hopefully a few more after that round). It's been a cruel season.

Out of curiosity, how many have stopped making trades?

Thanks Milch, t'was a good night. Game was interesting to see some non-Newcastle fellas in action and the 7min highlights of the Storm match was good too. And I finally scored okay. Good times.

Apparently, he just doesn't like you very much !!

Maybe he is stuck in 2020 and picks his team looking for TB, LBA, TA and KM's ?

Here are you H2H results for round 12

H2H R12:

H2H Ladder:

Now in graph form for those left brainers...

Welshy and Easy Tiger have a 4 point lead with 3 of us tied for 3rd

H2HLadder:

Overall Points:

Definitely stoked with that - easily my best round.
Still struggling to pick the right starters though, had Carney, El Magic and TMartin playing for 9, 18 and 20 points, while Maitua, MCross and Kearney in my AE bench scoring 70, 43 and 37 (so missed out on 100 points and an opportunity to crack the 1K).

I had my eye on Ropati as a trade in for next round - had 3 50+ scores out of last 4 before R12 without try. Wonder if he's still worth it
