2016 NRL.com Fantasy thread part 3

Is there a list of players unavailable for the start of the season because of suspension,
I remember matulino doing a shoulder charge and getting a massive suspension.

Kenny Edwards likely to get back into that starting Eels backrow?

I reckon the majority of the ones that have joined up over the last few weeks have gone over to Sportal first and seen your's and Milchy's not-so-subliminal advertising .

A bloke/site used to do the most thorough pre and during season updates-WD Nicolson. They stopped last year but if you have a look around you might find where he is at. Might have an FB page now, but you ditched FB didn't you. Maybe Twitter, they used to be brilliant.

FanLeague may have something lie this as well?

JTurbo and Parker or McGuire and Fensom/Surgess

I take it you can't scrape Fensom and Surgess together then? Fensom was in a write up a few dayts ago saying how he hopes ghe gets his 80 back. I know that doesn't mean shit, but at least it is him saying he can still do it.

now there's an idea. let's see if that would work

After taking SI's advice I have cut Wade Graham and have picked up Fensom leaving me with $0 left.

Smith, Seggy
J.Graham, Woods, McGuire, Welch
Surgess, Fensom, Rochow, Pauli, Chee Kam, Bhana
DCE, Hastings, Taylor, Niko
Copley, Gutherson, Henry, Auva'a
Fergo, Gordon, Mann, Mitchell, Philips

Like it,

personal preference would have Ah Mau over Graham/Mcguire which would give you he cash to turn Copley into something a bit more reliable

yea that centre grouping is the only thing I'm not really sure on.

I don't have that yet, no. I will have searchable news archives of players though, through my Media Street site - e.g. http://www.mediastreet.com.au/nrl.

I'm the same mate, just might be tough to recover if Copley and Gutherson start slow, in saying that same thing with Lafai's and the Hurrell's

i've given that advice to many people yet looking at the possibilities it opens up it's hard to resist. really I would like a starting pair of copley and lawrence but cutting the 140k elsewhere to upgrade a nuffie to lawrence means cutting some of the guns

Ok, first and only pre TLT draft

Segy, Parcell
LAM, B Lawrence, J Graham, NAS
Surgess, Mannering, Fensom, Rochow, B Henry, P Carter
Arey, J hasting, J Niko, A taylor
C Law, K Hurr, MCK, Auvaa
Gordon, Feg, Mann, Latrell, Gutherson

27k left

you sure it will be just the one draft clacks? Who is LAM? Clearly he is a gun in the first possy and I hven't been drinking, but can't think who that stands for.

Actually easier to recover from Copley/Gutherson shitting the bed than anyone else, since you've presumably used the savings from picking them on someone decent in another position. The problem with outside backs is that they don't usually have the base stats, so their standard deviations are always higher than an equivalent value forward. Not a problem if you plan to keep them long term, but not good if trying to use them as an upgrade stepping stone. I reckon this year there's a bit of value around the 300k mark in the WFB, but any lower than that you may as well be playing Gutherson (Mann and Holmes would be the exception, IF they are picked at FB).
