2016 NRL.com Fantasy thread part 30

I honestly feel like the biggest problem is the financial incentive. If you could earn as much money playing for the 'minnow nations' I think the selection criteria would matter a whole lot less as a lot of players would prefer to play with their home nation anyway. That would require the larger nations to cover the cost though and there to be a lot more games for those nations each year.

Who cut tamou's hair?

Or the larger nations to pay their players less.
How many players tonight would say they're not playing if they were paid bugga all money. Surely none. They must think it's a privilege to represent their country??
All profits from these games should be plowed back into the "grass roots."

Tim Moltzen forced into retirement due to injury.

Whilst I kind of agree, I haven't really got much of an issue with players being further rewarded for the achievement. Besides, wasn't one of the reasons we have TP payments the way they are because our superstars aren't getting enough cash? Good luck getting the reduced payments past the player association.

On fantasy topic, is there somewhere I can see on the fly fantasy points for this game?
Edit: Should clarify, i mean all the players, not just those I've selected

nah, your avatar is the Trump of league (a wonderful snapshot that will be forgotten hopefully;) ). Phil does think occasionally also.

4 of my fantasy team played tonight. I expect all to have been injured and miss next weeks games. It's how my year is descending.
And a Barba question was asked a while ago. Any thoughts. Have made money with him but I'm confused about him being a keeper. Not good for the bye rounds, mmm

After watching that, all I can say is thank fuck fox got the rights to every game. Most pathetic and shit commentry ever, almost had to turn the sound down. Forgot how useless these fuckers are.

So why didn't you switch over to fox then and ignore the free stuff? Or how do you know they were better than fox?

Id be asking for a refund. Pay for a service that doesnt deliver? Fuck that.

Last nights ultimate team. Feel free to correct it if wrong, I'm not bothered to double check it (as I did shite anyway)

HKR Cam Smith (VC) 118
FRF Paul Gallen 58
2RF Kevin Proctor 59
HLF Cooper Cronk 45
CTR Greg Inglis (C) 210
WFB Darius Boyd 49
TOTAL 539

I'm tossing up between trading taylor or feeney to lamb in my halves. With the feeney option I will have an extra reserve to play for a few weeks in taylor who has scored a little better than my other options (blaw, gutho, gordon, bhana). Also gets rid of a red dot which is always a good thing? but i will probably have to use 2 trades now to take care of taylor, and then lamb later on.

If i move taylor on then thats a peaked playing being milked, and gives me 350k for making trades in the future. Also i am thinking that it saves one trade as i may keep feeney till the end. ANyone one elese in this position have a different perspective?

They have the rights to every home and away game live. If I have to watch Channel 9 coverage a handful of times a year to watch Origin and Tests then I can live with that. Certainly beats having to watch them every week. That would be an absolute nightmare.

That and the quality of NRL 360 three times a week, Sterlo, and the Matty Johns Show, and replays of all games, and NSW Cup games. As well as Super League. Well worth the money mate.
