NRL Fantasy 2018 Thread Part 26

Have not read back 100 pages but some random thoughts:

JFH - minutes were surely increased last week due to the Yeo HIA. Merrin only at 40mins and that could rise. Playing 50mins he might average 40? What are people expecting from him?


Maloney - He is tempting. I can see his scoring looking something like this:
G 8, TA 5, TCK 16, TB 6, MT - 16, ER -2. PC -4, MG 8, FDO 2, KM 15. = 38.

Maybe add a couple of points for the odd try and he might average 40-42?


Peni Terepo:
1st game last week but played 49mins for 45. Why did he play 49mins? I know Browns minutes were down and Pritchard came off.
Previously a good scorer with a ppm above 0.85, he really does just need minutes.

The "most fantasy points" on the NRL website is updated (to JDB 51, Cook 77). The fantasy app will.update soon enough because everything has to keep in sync.

It's Saturday morning. Let Fiona have a lie in.

She has a lie in while I'm a wreck crying myself to sleep for captaining Murray over Cook? Doesn't seem fair.

Don't remember a time it wasn't updated by this time the next day though.

Jmk still hasn't from Thursday night. I mentioned it twice yesterday with no response. Hopefully it still goes through. Like someone else said, Katoa's round one score took the whole weekend to go through.

I captained Murray because I thought with Surgess out he would play big minutes. I also sold Nicholls this week. Just goes to show I know fuck all. Apologies to all L1 members for dragging the entire league down.

That's even weirder. One players update didn't go through but the rest did, WTF?

That was the reason I did too mate, and most here I'd say.

Nicholls will go back to limited minutes when Surgess comes back anyway, so if it was a worthwhile trade, I wouldn't worry. I traded him last week to Rochow so seeing 40 is annoying but I'm not fussed.

Fanhub has really screwed up this season. The inconsistency in updating scores is another example of their incompetence.
It's only this forum and it's members, especially you MTB that make it worthwhile continuing this season. A number of my work colleague's have lost interest in the comp and are spending more time on supercoach and other sites, making my work comp not as competitive as previous seasons. It's sad

On a side note, I had Murray as my captain, I did consider Cook briefly but hey... #fantasylife

Actually not that weird, I only noticed JMK because I own him, but scanning through it appears Cotric and Josh Morris didn't update either. I'd suggest that only a few of the scores changed and that none of them have updated (yet?)

He did look really good last night though. Error free he was close to their best in defence I thought. I can see increased minutes even after Surgess is back.

Looking deeper he's made 79 tackles for only 2 missed. No errors and 1 penalty. Very solid.

Exactly my situation also mate. We were always so into it with smack talk and constant chatter and banter but this year, no one really could give it the time of day. They fucked up big time.

Problem is pre season he looked the same hence people selecting him but weren't rewarded with him getting good minutes.
The same reason we often look at players and can't work out why the coach doesn't play them more.
Get one more week without Surgess so should go decent again

Hey guys, I was a bit preoccupied yesterday and didn’t see any of the games. Still catching up on the forum. Would anyone be able to give me a run down of anything important fantasy wise from yesterday and today. Thanks in advance.

Same for me too, in previous years we had decent work comps and due to the dramas before the season started they all went Supercoach (for the cash comp).
From a mostly full Fantasy competition in years before, only myself and 1 other ended up playing this and he has already quit due to the app not saving his team and a couple of issues.

Bit sad really, they had a perfectly good product last year and they fucked it, even all the extra graphs I liked are gone too.

Will keep playing but I find myself more and more checking my Supercoach team when I usually would have deleted the app on that by now haha
There is still parts I don't like about that game but some of the more basic things you tank for granted are there, I even miss the old gameday.

At least today should be a fun day of footy, bring on 3pm

Big day coming up - like most

Thompson Smith SJ Ponga Griffin Lodge Isaaaaako

Dirty 30 from Isaako would be good. Over 300 from these would be ok
