NRL Fantasy 2019 Part 56

Mulvy wrote:Fair chance I'll be keeping CNK next week.

I mentioned a couple of times in the past that RTS leaves my team before CNK and tonight went a long way to re-confirming that. I just find him a more consistent option. I know the averages suggest otherwise, but especially in H2H, he's just a more reliable option. I can't see him ever going as low as RTS's lows.

Plus I like him and RTS irritates the fuck out of me.

Meh, dopey comment gets the appropriate response.

Yeah I know.  I'm just filthy on him for trading him in for a first score of 15.  I thought Niko stifled him a bit though in that game and hopefully that doesn't continue.  I'm hoping for a solid bounce back next week.

All I am saying is you shouldn't base your opinions on someone on their fantasy score, especially an outside back. A bad score from any WFB is par of the course.

Anyway, hope your team goes well this week mate

Currently sitting on 7/312, with Rein and Lolo (C) left. Despite my severe lack of players (I only have 9 this week), I've only lost 95 places, from 209th to 304th

Fuck off mate.

I think Nikorima impacts RTS a little. Niko is now taking the attacking 1st or 2nd receiver options that RTS was early season. RTS obviously still a gun player but may knock a few points off his average.

Problem with niko is that he is no good for his outside men or fb. Runs when he sees space for himself, but slides sideways otherwise and just cramps his outside men.

Watch what you say about RTS mate at the moment.  His fanclub are out in full force.

Ah so you only watched one game and made that bizarre conclusion.

Now it makes sense.

Even Slater had the odd bad game.

Saying RTS goes missing is just beyond ridiculous to anyone who actually watches the bloke try to single handedly carry a trash team every week.

I don't think RTS goes missing in "real life." In that streak of sub-20 scores he posted last year I think he got a couple of man of the matches in that patch. He serves his team well, often, but that definitely does not translate into Fantasy scores all the time, which is what we're here for.

I absolutely fucking hate owning him in Fantasy... but that's not to say I think he's a bad player in real life.

That said, sometimes I do think he leads more with his words than his actions.

He got 59 and 40 in Nikorima's first 2 games. You might be right but I am not sure if we can reach that conclusion yet.

Seems you'd be well served taking your own advice mate.

Probably going to come up just short of Rein & Sivo > Bateman & McInnes. Tolman might have to go.

Thanks mate  no offence to you.  Of course there is a reason I got him in.  Just hope they can get a bit more fluid in attack unlike last week.

Broncs did do the smart thing and didn't kick to him once.  That didn't help.

Move on lads, let's just celebrate the DethKlok!

I'm the first to admit that my fantasy bias takes over a lot.

Tolman's my next trade out think. He's maxed out, playing in a poor team, has needed 80mins to get above 50 and plenty of FRF coverage with Fifi, Taupau, Haas, Twal

DethKlok.  Love it.

Oh right. I'm not sure about McInnes btw. I think he'll continue to play 80 but it's not guaranteed with Robson sniffing around and you know, Mary. But also if he goes to lock when Robson comes on, does he keep scoring well? Tackles in the middle would continue with less chance of attacking stats?

I take my comment back.  His team is God awful sometimes so as a FB there's only so much he can do.  I just think it seemed Niko tried to take charge more than he should.  RTS I hope keeps growing as a leader and dominates and tells the halves to give him the ball when he needs it.  Keep getting forceful with his talk.
