NRLFF 2006 Fantasy thread - Round 5+6, I love fullbacks

I'm secretly impressed with your ability to resist POD temptation early on

I guess my usual fantasy approach is that it cant be won in the early rounds but it can be lost

Whereas I prefer to think I'm the smartest guy in the room~!

But I'm not.

Anyway, this week I was hoping to move on Kite and McGuire and that would end the duds in my team (pending future trades). But instead, injuries mean I'm moving on Laffranchi and Sherwin.

Ins are:
Orford - it was him or Gower, but prefer Orford's base (goal kicks, kicks in play) and seemed like a better scorer in the 2005 stats. Considered Johns, but he's a bit too expensive with a view to other future moves. Plus I feel like he will get injured at some point - didn't he get injured every season?

Tupou - after saying I didn't want another winger, here is winger #8. My squad now has the same # of wingers as forwards, what a time to be alive!

Got a huge bank balance so can remove two cheap players and still get pretty much whoever I want next rounds. Have one in my mind already. Without giving too much away here's a hint: His name rhymes with Dathan Slindbarsh.

That colossal forward, Latham Blindtharsh?

I was also really keen to pickup Orford this week, but already feel I'm too top heavy with HLF's (I have four of them) and no good props (Civo's base stats look up on last years).

I'm not sure about getting Leighton Moustache, seems like the type that might get an NRL ban for off-field indiscretions...

I had to get a half otherwise I'm rolling with Casey McGuire. But Civo looks consistent, definite keeper material.

Disagree, Grayson Footbath is as clean as they come. Not the kinda guy to go around trying to punch hookers.

Paranoia rising about young Cayden. And I just checked, I actually have 10WFBs. But only seven of them being named as wingers for their teams.

Are you sure you're not getting mixed up with old babyface Peyton Kindhalf? - who has never done a shoulder charge in his life, apart from to protect himself in a collision.

Turn on fox for 2mins and the first thing I see is Gal getting a penalty for being a grub.

Its a couple of years before our comp, but Fox Sports about to show Parramatta 74  Cronulla 4 from 2003.

Famous for David Peachey getting sinbinned for waving his arms at the ref.

Sharks would’ve had them if the Peach had been on for that 10

What time do scores drop?

Bit after 9pm for the scores

Friday night I do Zoom trivia and scores happen after that finishes

Give us 1 of the trivia questions to see how good we all are as a team ?

The answer is a pineapple.

Ruh roh...

Waited all week for this. Thanks Milch hahaha

Just as a precursor, and so you don't get all despondent, round 5 is crap for pretty much everyone, but it improves in round 6

Must be week of the PODs not the mainstream picks then
