2018 NRL.com Fantasy Thread Part 22

Crichton, Murray and Surgess all individually look like great picks but I would be worried about owning all 3 purely for variance. That said Surgess and Crichton look like some of the very few keepers that are performing as we expect

I play social oztag. We get a range of referees. Some of whom are very strict on policing offside, and some of whom let anything go.
My team can easily adapt to the situation once we realise how the referee will interpret it, and give away 2-3 penalties for offside in a game, and not 10+. We are not professionals.  
If we go for several games in a row with a lax 5m, and then suddenly get a ref who will penalise, we are able to adjust and cope.


NRL players can choose to be onside most of the game if they want to.

Im considering getting all 3. Im a bunnies fan which obviously has something to do with it. All 3 look fantastic.

Surgess should get DPP in what 2 weeks also.

Is NAS qualified for QLD ?

100% Smith is gone next week. I can honestly say this isn’t trade rage. Hasn’t looked like scoring well this season. Will be bringing in friend for sure, assuming it’s basically a straight swap. Friend still playing a similar role, scoring well and plays rd13.

What a Friday..... Don’t need to say anything that hasn’t been already said.
Will take the win and seeing Smiths smug face after he got sent off and the storm self destruct at the end was enjoyable.

Slater with his dive untouched to get Lewis yellow carded was low

Team is somehow ok even with all the low scores....
I am talking about my auto pick team haha

Anyone in Sydney been to Parklea markets of late ? Wife is adamant we are going today

Can drop into 'Holy basil' (thai/laos) restaurant on the way home atleast !

Well im 9 down for 400 inclusive of Cappy Edwards. Up to 141. Hope overall ground is gained this week, not a total slide back to 1771.

This Smith disaster at least makes me feel better about bringing in Thurston.

Holy Basil is sensational. Hmmmm thinking of lunch already. Went to parklea about 12 months ago (markets not the jail) nothing had changed from the time i went 5 years prior to that

Lol at Wolfie.

Yes Bender. Holy basil is the ultimate. And i thought parklea would be the same, always has been but its been about 5 years since...

Barny the purple gtrain gallen haunted me last night

I meant the markets seem gay, food on the other hand, oh yeah!!

The fantasy gods are funny fuckers. Looking at some of the live Facebook comments and this forum during the game was brilliant entertainment. The sheer abuse of Smith and NAS was hilarious

Fuck Smith. Fuck NAS. Love me some Cam Muzza. The team I had in week 1 brained it. The same team in week 2 turned into a holocaust that saw a drop of 13,000 places. Week 3 was an injury fest. Even my king POD, Cleary, got wiped out. Looks like this week, some of the lucky fuckery that has been going on is having justice dispensed onto it in epic proportions. Lol. Bring on Super Saturday’s feast of carnage and go Fitzgibbon, you fuckin champion. Lol.

And now I’ve got the Cartwright V Havali conundrum to ponder over my bacon and eggs. Which Kent gets the 17 jersey? What say you, gurus?

Cartwright surely has to respond after all the abuse he has copped the last week. Havili with 2 tries in 3 weeks, that cant continue

Havilii i reckon. Hopefully gets a second stint today.

He goes alright on the ppms. If I was coach, I’d want him out there for at least 60 mins. He’s one of their most effective defenders and has a good passing game. Fucked if I know what goes through sticky’s head. Now Hingano is stinking up the bench. Their problem is halfback, not hooker, but Stuart keeps meddling with both positions all game. It can’t and won’t work. He needs to stick with the same #7 all game. For their kicking game alone. Bloke is a fucking Mong.

Cartwright might explode this week off the bench. He’s been the brunt of some pretty heavy criticism, plus I reckon he is an impact player only. He doesn’t handle the dirty work, but can destroy tired fringes.

I’m tipping 42 points for Carty, with a try assist and a meatie in 35 minutes....and 41 points for Havili from 50 mins.

The fact you can use excel and construct a sentence suggests that the average IQ of your oztag team is significantly higher than that of most NRL teams.
