NRL SC 2019

[Tso1967]

1268 for me in a decent round where I left plenty of points on the line. Back up to 1600 in the rankings. Hopefully can get myself back into the top 1000 this week. Unsure if i’ll make any changes, though really need to bring in some round 12 bye players as a couple of mine who I blanked on not getting picked for origin are firming as surprise selections (reynolds, murray)

Crap.I have Murray.

Crap.I have Murray.

Will know Sunday night if he’s been picked or not. It’s up in the air, but I think he’s done more that enough to be picked for NSW. See what happens.

 

[SELFCONFESDAFLNERD]

1218 was my final score and went up 172 places to 2349 overall. Content with that

Looking ahead to round 12, i've only got a maximum of 12 players available with no 5/8s or FBs so ill think about sideways trading Munster/Tedesco. Given its my first year playing im not sure how many trades i should aim to conserve for injuries at the back end of the season as 37 seems a pretty generous amount. That is something that i may need some guidance/advice about. At the moment im just focussing on improving my team each week.

You’ve probably got 10 definitely playing round 12 with two maybes (Brittain and Murray). I wouldn’t do anything drastic in terms of bringing players on for just one round. Given popular early choices such as Reynolds, Walker, Murray etc have all firmed into favourites to gaining origin selection when they appeared unlikely at the start of the season, I reckon 11-13 players will be competitive for round 12 provided you nail your captaincy.

Cheers for that. In that case I'll try to get 13 players available but i wont stress if i fall short of that. I feel like im set up ok given i didnt factor the byes into selection at all until trades for this round.

So in preparation for Bye coverage, I've made 2 sideways trades:


Next week I trade Brown > Hiroti via Ponga & Gutherson DPP, then I'll try to upgrade Whitbread or trade Friend.

 

[SELFCONFESDAFLNERD]

I cant wait to get a fit DCE in at halfback in a little while. Then eventually ill grab Farah too

Yeah I've decided to grab Farrah this week for Origin coverage before his price spike again, sick of my Hooker reserve being useless.

Friend > Farrah
Crichton > Fonua-Blake

This leaves me Bateman, Okunbor, and possibly Whitfield to downgrade next week.

I'm thinking Whitbread > Dylan Walker via Burgess & Nikora DPP, and Okunbor > Hiroti. Then in round 13 I'm planning on bringing in RTS with Bateman & Brown.

 

[Tso1967]

Gutherson pants so far..
Moses and Paulo my other 2 today.

 

[Tso1967]

3/122

 

[SELFCONFESDAFLNERD]

2/72 - Moses and Gutherson. Not the start i hoped for but i can still have a decent round.

Tonight ive got Fonua-Blake, Ponga, Latrell & Tedesco

 

[Tso1967]

I stuck the armband on Ponga plus Mitchell/Garrick/Klemmer

 

[balmainforever]

Have done everything wrong this year.

Might only get 13 ne t week as well. Grrrrr

 

[Tso1967]

Nice team though

 

[SELFCONFESDAFLNERD]

Decided that instead of just Fonua-Blake that I'd field Taupau and Garrick hoping for a massive score against the Titans and because ill be able to watch all of tonight's game.That means im moving Nikora and Surgess out of my 17 so you might want to captain one of them as my moves will no doubt backfire.

I like your team a lot actually. At first glance Morgan seems the only liability. Not having Ponga is probably hurting too but its a good team, id expect you to be ranked fairly highly overall. Also, ill probably only get 11 next round before trades so 13 would actually be pretty decent, especially if that is prior to trades

Even though it looks a good team, I have no idea how to pick a captain.
Rank is 35k

Yeah it is very tough choosing a captain. I would have thought you'd be in the top 10k or so with that team but i guess i know nothing about your team's history. Choosing the right players on field seems to be a real lottery, much more so than the AFL. Its almost halfway through and i still have no idea who to field and who to sit on a weekly basis.

 

[SELFCONFESDAFLNERD]

Long way to go but fielding my Sea Eagles players looks to be a good move. Garrick just got a try and Taupau and Fonua-Blake doing a ton of work. I think the Titans will be blown out given the start.

I haven’t been able to break 1200 all year.

And suddenly the titans are winning .

 

[SELFCONFESDAFLNERD]

I thought Manly would run away with this game after the 12-0 start and now they are down. Taupau and AFB have been on the bench for over 20 mins, almost 30 for AFB. Still, if AFB can get to 60, Taupau 70-80 and Garrick 70+ ill be pretty content

 

[SELFCONFESDAFLNERD]

Since Taupau and AFB have been off the Titans have gained ascendancy. Manly were controlling the middle and Taupau, JTurbo and AFB were doing their thing with nice hitups and offloads but they've made so many errors since they went up 12-0. AFB is back on now so we'll see if their forwards can get on top again!
