Played over 70 in 3 of last 4 mate?

Dearden at 18, maybe Turpin to bench and Seg out. Reckon Turpin would eat more into his minutes?

Thinking of doing

Twal + To'o > Verrills +TTurbo/Ponga

Leaves me with 2 trades left, 236k cash and this team:

Cook
Haas, AFB
JTurbo, Murray, Taumololo
Munster, SJ
Bateman, Nikora
Tedesco, RTS, TTurbo/Ponga

CS9, CM9, Drinkwater, Staggs
Stockwell, Verrills, Brittain, Walters

In a few weeks when Staggs peaks I can go Staggs > Gun (Fifita?)

I would love to hear opinions on who of TTurbo/Ponga to grab.

Welshy wrote:Fifita ain't getting less than 50 mins even if he is off the pine is he! Reckon he goes bonkers regardless

Yeah, he'll score great because I'm probably leaving him out and every decision to do with that fat clown this year I've got wrong, including captaining him for 11.

Seriously though... pick the worst scorer between Fifi, Haas, Taupau, Tolo, JTrbo, Tevaga, Brown... it could be Fifi.

Can I pick Host instead?

Yes, you should play Fifi over Host

we've had a few in-game injuries over the last month, In the Sharks game SOS came of before Macca got a spell, the Bulldogs game he came off then replaced Pangai who had a shoulder complaint, then last week Glenn got hurt and i assume there was some sort of reason Pangai came off, because i can't imagine he was supposed to play the first 55 and not be sighted again... Point being i could be wrong but i don't believe playing Macca big minutes is in the gameplan, and i certainly wouldn't be game enough to try my luck for the sake of a not all that high ceiling.

Cheers fella, no go on Macca unless he is playing 80 anyway, too much risk

You were very patient short on trades to hold him, I sold him as I thought he’d only get 30mins off the bench.

Corrected

I'm thinking I'm back on it, Titans team is actually horrific (no Brimson, Brian Kelly back in who has 8th highest MT in league)

Haven't taken it off him from last weekend.

Bro I've made inroads in fantasy since, just outside top 1000 now from outside 12000 mid season! Woooooo

I've never been good at Fantasy either I ranked 100 and have 33rd rank on Supercoach and 4th on Sportsdeck VSDT. I on the Welshy bandwagon to take that one out as I took that out in 2017 overall. Top 20 every year is pretty easy on Sportsdeck VSDT. NRL Fantasy is certainly the hardest to play. 40th is the best overall for the year i ever ranked on it. Reckon I will take out Supercoach one day I always in the top 100 on that. So 1 in 100 is better than putting in lotto

NRL Fantasy is much harder to get the team right at the start of the year under the cap available. Also the price changing instantly for players and not waiting 2 games before they have played makes it much harder to play in my opinion. I hate it for that reason compared to SC and VSDT but it's still great to have a go at all but. Fantasy just does not like me as much. If I had to pick, the VSDT system and points scoring I prefer a lot more so I hope they never stop doing that one. Supercoach scoring systems a bit shit and don't award the right TA's and give bit too many points for scoring tries. Favour the bigger owned players a lot more when awarding TA's which annoys me and don't favour the base hard tackling men either because the try scoring points so high. It's basically pick all the players that think will score all the tries and kick the most goals also as get 4 instead of 2 for that also. NRL Fantasy gives way too many points for kick metres as well which shits me as players like Reynolds who don't do much in games score well every time because of it even when does nothing in games even. He would not be an option on the other 2. Fantasy awards players that all they do is kick in games way too much. VSDT I like their scoring, maybe a little hefty on errors and missed tackles but I find it the best overall. Maybe they could cut it back a point on errors and missed tackles and give negatives for penalties instead as well which they don't do.

Overall no scoring system be brilliant, just play what enjoy or all. I'll play any out there as love playing them regardless. Just glad creators came up with these comps so we can all play. Maybe be more comps one day that be more perfect to whatever we prefer when comes to scoring. I look forward to any new ones that come along also.

Thinking of using my last two trades on the two old Pommies.

Fainu and Brittain to Graham and Surgess.

Gives me cover in all positions and a bit of fun with Looping but 0 trades.

Cook
Graham, Haas
Murray, Lolo, Matterson
SJ, Munster
Latrell, Batelord
Teddy, RTS, Ponga
Smith, McInnes, Wighton, Twal
Surgess, Nikora, Kerr, Coates

Ranked 99.

Twal still hasn't scored a 1st Grade Try in 48 games over 3 Seasons. Figure he's due for a brace

Definitely now that a majority of us are trading him out

Will be the biggest shock of my life if he even did a line break or line break assist let alone score a try.

What do we think Milford will score at fullback?
3 games is a really small sample size.
His current fullback average across those 3 games is 70.3.
Taking out his attacking stats (tries, ta, lb, lba), that 3 game fullback average becomes exactly 60.

Is a 60-point average a reasonable expectation from Milford?

Thinking of going Twal to surgess. Won’t be in my 17, be more for cover and cheeky poop hole business and get to bank 100k for emergencies

Played his best football at the Raiders as a fullback. Siebold did a good job putting him back to fullback. Now they just need decent halves.
I regret selling him on here as thought he was out long term. Still have him SC. Will play him on match ups like next weekend against the Cowboys. This weekend be a slug fest but against Storm. Some say Storm win big. I don't believe. It be a middle forward played game and tight. Wouldn't surprise one bit to see Storm go down again.
