Week 1 team review
Total score 775, overall rank 29698
Hodgson 45, 80 mins from Josh which was great, thought he actually played pretty well, looked fit, and in control, probably fortunate not to get pinged for a few dodgy passes, got a nice try assist, pass mark for him
Carruigan 65 50 tackles, hell of an effort, if this is what I see performance wise from carrigan every week I'll be happy, what a workhorse, hope to see some offloads in the future, happy with this pick up
Tapine 45 the only one of the big 3 mids that didnt score as well as I hoped, i bottled going for both broncos big minute mids as I wanted to spread around the players and tapine obviously doesnt play origin, not his day to post a big score, there will be better scores ahead, no need to panic, trifiling conditions in NQ, alos he had a lot of help from saulo, mariota and guler who all player well surprsining me,
murray 66 spent big bucks on him to really anchor my side, i think it was one of the podcasts that really talked him up that convinced me, hes such a good player and watching this weekend reminded me how much I hated watching him put scores on at the back end of last year, happy I have him locked in for some time
hopgood 83 wow, what can you say, everyone thought he'd go well and boy did he, feels really nice to have 3 mids and an edge im super comfortable with, guy is all action, tackles, workrate, offloads, parra have got a steal in recruiting him, more of the same please
garner 26 i am annoyed at myself for garner, i had planned to play Ford or Blore (who i eventually binned) as the second edge but right before deadline i jettisoned bateman and had extra money and went against my instinct and throw garner in, hoping he would be an 80 minute kikau light, his play was bad and his minutes wern't there, he will be leaving this week most likely, many more value edges out there imo
Hastings 46 newcatsle were very clunky, and hastings kept getting bashed/staying down, i'm not sure whether im pleased or not, he did do some things I really liked but the nagging feeling that i could have just paiod the extra for douehi is with me, i will wait and see what happens next week though and if he can improve with some more attacking stats he will get an acceptable average
cleary (c) 122 he did what he does, get absurd amount of phantom points hahaha, but i think he tried hard, got hands on the ball plenty, just looked a little out of sorts without a good supporting cast, no panic, panthers will improve and he will remain in my team
alamoti 17 didnt get to see much of this game as it was early in uk time, what i will say is plenty of more established centres have done this to me in my brief history of fantasy and did so to other teams this weekend, jurys out, but too cheap to worry about right now
Staggs 26 if you followed my team tracker last year you know i like a gamble, well i bet on staggs getting his breakeven of 37, the HIA and the cramps saw me screwed on that, thought he played great in defence for broncos, so many great defensive stops, but not much ball to run with, hope he doesnt lose too much money and he will be walsh next week unless i have an injury im not yet aware of thats more pressing
Perham 26 didnt see the game, not enthused by the score, though the bulldogs did get smashed so maybe this isnt terrible, either way if ciraldo gives him more game time, i'll give him another chance to rule himself out or in,
miller 43 pretty good score but loved what i saw from miller, i like fantasy players that play in his style, work rate, extra runs, and tb that are really soft but easily accrued, when the attack for newcastle imporves and he adds some attacking points he'll do well, i was high on him before and this only made me happier
warbrick 29 he didnt see much ball, he didnt get attacking points and he got 29, cant complain for 230k
interchange
boyd 37 he didnt impress me in his performance at all, but he is the half back so he gets a good amount of points, his dual is useful, will hold for now
brandon smith 34 hated how much playing time turpin got, that said rooster were loosing middles for fun, wanted him to play as that jet heeled attacking 9 we know he can be, weird result and game for the roosters, no panic will monitor him
trindall 33 for a 250k player im not mad at this score, the first half he played like hynes, the second half he played like moylan, if we see more of the former and less of the latter he'll do ok, sharks wont be as bad as they were in that second stanza again and I hope to see an uptick in fantasy points for trindall
UToikamanu 32 this ones on me, wests have too many middles to make him value, i enjoyed watching him, and thought he looked fit and fast, but thats a dense middle selection they have and klem, twal and ofa enjoy big minutes and touches, i'll be getting rid of him when I can, but no rush
emergency
ford 44 played great, few too many missed tackles, nbut overall happy with this cheap dual player, 80 mins, he will prove value and useful
doorey 31 at his price I have no complaints, never considered carty so not disappointed in the choice, hope he gets named again for parra to give me the option to play him, on eye test he does nothing for me, in fantasy he presents value
HSS 23 tough assignment for the lad, hopefully he goes out to wing in rapanas absence and I'll hope for better scores, wasnt expecting much, not thrilled, not disappointed
Preston 18 encouraged he got minutes, less encouraged with the score, didnt see the game so cant analyze further, so will leave it there,
will wait til monday am time to see price changes and what not to suggest trades, buut there will be some
overall though I messed up putting in garner, and that skewed my week,
i was super impressed with HTF and the dolphins in general, if he plays like that I'd be happy to have him as my CTR, so I think i might put him in as thats gonna be problem position all year, will probably do it asap so I get the price rises of the next few rounds
