2018 NRL.com Fantasy thread part 41

This sounds real dumb, but do you think Smith has been playing a bit more conservative because he wants to be right for Origin? He used to have a bunch of senior players but now it’s pretty much him, Slater, GI (who didn’t play last year) and Boyd (he’s Boyd). It’s probably because his role is a bit different at the storm this year but I makes you wonder. He’s still a master at controlling the game so it’s probably his role doesn’t neccessarily reflect in fantasy points.

Brimson so close!

Damn you extended bench peats. I havent played Rein. Oh well still making shed lods of cash

Brimson much better defender than LG and carty from what Ive seen of this game

Thanks JAC

Footy gods dislike Titans in this one, too bad because they were the better team for most of the game until injuries and bad luck caught up with them

Yeah looks solid hey? Hopefully gets a run against the Knights.

gritty performance by the titans, far from convincing for the storm.

Do you think that Cam Smith might have a case to answer for the wishbone tackle on Proctor. It was Smith that was pulling the leg wasn't it?

That's about the fourth time AJ has had the ball and denied the chance to do anything with it due to infringements from the Storm. I mean Titans got a penalty each time but how does that help my fantasy team?

yes it was and he does have a case to answer but he won't because he's Cam Smith, Australian and Queensland captain and head of referees

Kept the captaincy on Smith. I guess we will see tomorrow if that was a good decision.

Agreed.

Same was at work so played it safe and left rein in emergency

I'd hate my Christmas to depend on updates.
(do Indian call center stats guys know about Christmas?)

Tom Wright making debut from the bench for anyone who cares.

Looks like JMK vs AJB was indeed a coin toss, 26 vs 27.

Proctor was badly injured in the groin, and the Fox commentators mentioned that the Titans were FURIOUS over the incident. So we'll see.......................
