The run home: predicting the First Crack Fantasy League’s final three rounds

#1 Dazzlers Dingoes (Current: 9-2, Diff: +1186, Home: 4-0, Away: 5-2)

The Run home:

Rnd 12 – Dragons 1015 (H) – Predicted: 834-665 W

Rnd 13 – Rosebery Rampage (H) – Predicted: 774-762 W

Rnd 14 – Papatoetoe Piranhas (H) – Predicted: 826-777 W

Waiver Watch – Round 8

Five waiver moves were made in the early hours of Wednesday morning involving three teams.

Grubs moved first with ex-Avengers Chad Townsend (season/career 50.67ppg, 3 games) coming in as halfback cover, with Matthew Dufty (season 40.00ppg, 1 game/career 44.00ppg, 6 games) losing his spot in the squad.

Piranhas picked up second rowers Adam Elliott (career debut) and Wade Graham (career 43.50ppg, 4 games), dropping Lachlan Fitzgibbon (season 43.83ppg, 6 games/career 49.82ppg, 11 games) and Isaah Yeo (season/career 43.40ppg, 5 games) due to poor form and end of season shoulder injury.

Tigers continued their year long search for halves trading out Cooper Cronk (season/career 37.25ppg, 4 games) and young gun Thomas Dearden (yet to debut) for soon to return Matt Moylan (season/career 51.00ppg, 3 games) and the re-juvenated Mitchell Pearce (season/career 41.33ppg, 3 games).
