    I feel the same. Just a couple of weeks ago I thought my backline was decent.

    Niu Momo

    Teddy Paps Latrell

    286 points

    On the weekend that combo was worth 6 points.

    Never had a team so munted in over a decade of this torturous game. Lodges hammy round 1 was a sign of things to come. Round 2 first trade in of Davey worked out a treat. Host turned into a ghost. Round 3 wham bam thank you Lam. Round 4 was double Sitillis score as he was also seeing double. Round 5 had my best week because no one was injured/suspended/dropped-at birth. Round 6 Niu dropped can I have his qld cup score. Liddle dropped, Riki benched. Round 7 Latrell & Momo too busy kung fu fighting. Paps broken like my spirit. Teddy MIA followed by HIA, Riki back starting but is now a bird. Turnip. SOS I have SOS.

    Hello round 8  darkness my old friend.

    Hahaha what a rundown. Brutal DK

    Hard luck my friend. Keep firing shots pal

    Good to see you up the Rankings GM. Haas in your team, did you bring him in last Round?

    Cheers standard. Very very strange season. Hate most of my team but lucky enough to have the absolute must haves when needed (ie Cleary, Fifita). Have had to spend trades to be there, on pretty bad cows, so will have to change gears ASAP

    Haas 2 or 3 weeks ago. Couldn’t bear to look at my forward line any longer

    Feels quite a bit better looking at Haas/Crichton/Watson. You know I hate a middie middle.

    Gus & Gal are right re the shoulder charges i.e. they are not shoulder charges & the fact doctors & lawyers have taken over the game so now any good hit is punished unfairly & that they the nrl inconsistently apply the rule.

    One is the better teams I’ve seen posted. Normal byes to navigate challenges but looking very nice that.

    Isaako doesn’t add anything has to be first priority as soon as you’ve got his 30pts in R13

    I’m very jealous of Papli

    Cheers, the sad thing is Isaako has done what I wanted him to at the start of the season. I wanted him to be that 40+ point player, hell even push to 45+ average potentially. Leaving him outside the keeper status but still a decent option. The problem is the FBs in the faster game have set a new precedent for what is acceptable gun like scores from the position which sucks.

Both seem to be hitting form at just the right time and need some strong mids to start bringing in decent scores, instead of having to play Alvaro and / or Uto each week. Both have dropped in price from start of season and both have different roles from those they started with and are on their way back up. Both play round 13 as well.

    Two of your better trades

    Current round 13 players: Macca, Watson, Alvaro, Roberts, Bird, Laurie, Brailey, Turpin, Simpkin, Uto and Leniu.

    Roberts, Turpin, and one of Uto or Leniu I may need to trade out. Issue with guys like Verrills and Walsh is they don’t play round 13 if I bring them in for some of these guys!

    Im aiming to have 11-12 for each bye round. Ive given up trying to get a full team. I haven't been able to save enough trades to trade out someone like Cleary or Fifita and trade them back in again

    Last week felt like 2020 all over again. I’m doing Turpin and SOS to Haas and Walsh/Blore. I know investing in basement price WFBs is a foolish choice over an EDG player but fuck the tigers and fuck the broncos.

    I realise Haas is a bronco but I think he is as blue chip as they come

    Quite a few on here already have TPJ. Go for McGuire please.

    (When I say "quite a few", I mean me and mtvb, but surely that's enough for you to steer clear?)

    Yeah ive had TPJ the last couple of weeks. His scores have been good but i doubt he keeps up the try scoring. Be more keen on McGuire when he starts which will be sooner rather than later. Im not sure sure he doesnt play origin. Cant see Su'a or Lui picked ahead of him now that Bennett isnt coaching. Need some mongrel in the forward pack

    Kinda no idea what to do this week. Can possibly just run the same 17 as last week and hope it all goes well.

    Brailey
    Watson, Lodge, Stefano
    Fifita, Tups
    Cleary, Munster
    Peachey, Roberts
    Brimson, Laurie, Hampton

    Turpin, Schuster, Simpkin, Walker
    Papy, Tino, Momo, SOS

    TLT watch:
    SOS returns, Levi still on bench, Liddle on bench, Roberts dropped

    He comes out looking so strong and dominant but his second stint isnt strong at all. So cheap for what he can be!

    As for origin. Unless there are injuries im not sure if he gets picked for game 1 at least

    I did. No ragrets.

    The thing is, if Matt did go SOS he’d be saying it was a good move.

    Haven't been able to contribute over the long weekend. Hope everyone enjoyed ANZAC round.
    Was forced to play 16 over the weekend for 997 and amazingly climbed 130 ranks (what??) so lucky to come out unscathed.

    What did people think of Levi's performance. I was only able to check in and out of games, but from what I saw I thought he was terrible. Errors and his passing was off the mark. Judging by people penciling Turpin in as a trade-out I'm guessing we are expecting him on the bench again but is it possible that Kev used him on the bench to spell Turpin due to the heat/humidity on Friday?

    You're right...im clutching so...

    Turpin & Townsend to:
    Ponga and Peachey (I've held Momo but unsure if he gets back in)
    OR
    Turbo and Moses

    Cheers guys - appreciate the Klemmer thoughts. I still play fantasy mostly without watching many games or keeping up with the news so tend to have little clue about the actual league side of things. Love the fantasy strategy and the statistical analysis though.

      Current date/time is Fri May 03, 2024 7:50 am
