NRL Fantasy Coach 2025

[Nutz]

Hahaha. Seriously guys I busted my NRL fantasy league cherry yesterday. One thing I did notice when setting up the team was that the middles, hookers, and halves earnt the most points last year. So I spent a fair bit of my cap on a few guns there, and other workers who make few errors. I also made yeo my captain. The captain earns double points and he had a blinder. He got me 140 points on his own.

I've also spread my players out over a fair few teams which should serve well when injuries hit. I've also avoided the tigers mostly so emotion stays out of it.

Anyway there's 6 games to go and I'm not nearly as confident about what remains. Much like a lot of horses I've backed over the years I've jumped out of the gates smartly but will probably fade badly by the turn.

It does change the way you watch the games though.

That's the point I was trying to put across to the other guys that this program really makes all the games worth watching because your not supporting a team but more so following individuals and you learn more about the game as you notice more how other teams operate.

Also watching games I don't care who wins I get almost as hyped up as watching a Tigers game.

"Come on pass it to my guy! Go my guy....What is wrong with my guy?"

Then cursing the day I signed him and started following his progress.

Similar experience really.

 

[Ned Kelly]

Now that my team has settled it looks like most of my selections are based on the hope they will improve in value.

Don't see big points coming out of my lot.

Hey Nutz,
So sorry to hear about your predicament. You are the main reason I keep coming back to this forum. You are such a decent bloke especially given your health issues.
I hope this cyclone passes you by and you avoid any flooding.
I wish you all the best with your health issues too.
Take care buddy.

I think I must have lost the plot when I picked my team.
I've got 7 Tigers running around tonight. I am obviously an over excited Wests Tigers fan.

It could be a huge night for you points wise then if they all fire up.

Talking of points, I'd like to give a huge shout out to Brendan Piakura of the Broncos. He was only on the field for 30 seconds, but in that time he got me a staggering -9 points. Thanks Brendan, you could have only done worse if you got sent off. No doubt he'll be getting traded next week.

AND WHERE OFF!
Guys check out our League and you will see 9 match-ups. You won't see people's teams until lockout so you can't cheat ha ha.
When the footy starts you'll see both you and your opponents progress points so that's when it gets a bit tense
Please fill in your team name next to your forum name so we all know who we are actually playing.

Cheers mate I'll update the list.

 

[Pezz70]

I’m off to fine start, nominated a DNP for my reserves bench, knew he wasn’t playing and forgot to change it. I’m a fair chance for a spoon I reckon

There are two other tigers not known???
Surely out of this list of knowledgeable coaches someone will win.

Early days Pezz. I had Toia as a cheapie emergency and he scored 61 pts. That's what you need from cash cows, earn you money and trade them later for a marquee player after their price goes up. But at the same time, he scores me nuppin.

Might be tight between you and me.

How do you expect your players to lift when their coach talks like that.

I'm putting them all on notice by sacking my highest profile player next week.

I've gone from last to first in one day, haha, but I've only got two players left tonight. Fingers crossed, one of us Tigers will win rd one
Bloody mayhem up here. .my backyard looked like a nuclear invasion but no flooding thank God thanks to my large gerni that my awesome neighbour helped me hook up. I had it in the bathroom sucking water from my yard and into my bath. I learnt that years ago and am grateful I've got some caring friends.

Go Nutz ! I reckon you can take out the honors for round 1.

So glad to hear no flooding for you at the moment. I hope it stays that way.

I am keen for any updates you feel like passing on.

I think you're in the box seat.........as long as they're Melbourne players

 

[Ned Kelly]

In the first half Stefano scored a massive 17 points. He showed the form he had at the Tigers when trying to play the ball he dropped it.
If he scores 60 pints in the second half he will finish better than May by a point.
Roosters didn't want May because they are going in a different direction.
They certainly are.

 

[TheDefinitionOfMadness]

I also laughed when he smashed hitting the ball up on a kick off. About the only time parra made a dominant tackle.

Although I can't laugh top much. I've got will warbrick who 'earnt' a massive 4 points

 

[Ned Kelly]

I fell for the hype, still Iongi has scored a massive 6 points after just 40 mins. Awesome.
Still I'm pretty happy seeing Parra go so crap.
