2016 NRL.com Fantasy Thread Part 7

though griffin appears to be doing the same thing with merrin as he did with parker..

i'd love to get some idea of how fensom will be used this year.

pretty much re-thinking everything atm. haha

The Raiders forum - which is one of the better forums - seems to think/want Papalli and Whitehead to be second rows with Soliola at lock...

I'm not really too concerned with the uncertainty over Merrin's minutes or if he plays prop although that article certainly doesn't help clarify anything. His workrate and PPM output isn't going to change unless the coach tells him "Hey Trent ease up on the workload" and he's bound to get minimum 50 minutes so I think he'll do fine.

soli played some prop in the trial, right? i would think that would be more likely (and yeah i understand they are very similar spots these days anyway).

i've had vaughan for some time but maybe he isn't worth it. if hodgson plays 80 it will hurt mins of all the middle forwards.

Sounds like Hodgson is keen to play 80... even if it's not 80 mins at number 9, have a read of this article:

Ah going the McCollough/Peats route. As long as Hodgson gets 80 I'm happy.

Is there somewhere I can see a reply of this mornings game.

(Done my best not to ruin it yet.)

My theory, with basically no evidence to back it up. Is that Baptiste will get named most weeks, but may not always be used and Hodgson may play 80 a few times.

It happened a couple of times towards the end of last year, and might happen a little more frequently with the new interchange rules.

A reply? Yeah sure, how much of a writeup did you want?

Farah possibly sidelined for 4-6 weeks due to knee injury. Club says cant confirm until he sees specialist. Source and cracking sort Lara Pitt. We have 4 hookers and 3 of them injured for round 1. Shit luck. Not sure cherringtons price but could make some cash?

Quicksand will be spewing if true, he selected him in Ultimate draft.

He is looking screwed. Farah, Cordner, Ballin and potentially Slater missing Round 1.

Can I play him round 1

Granville's play style isn't sustainable for 80 minutes so the rest is beneficial for him and the team. By the end of the year he might have worked up to 80 minutes but he certainly isn't going to start round 1 playing 80

I wasn't expecting 80 but I thought there was and is a decent chance he works up to 60 or 65. IF he does there is good value, IF

Have to wait until the draft is complete before we see the matchups I think. Bottom 2 teams get demoted at seasons end and unless mass injuries strike I wont be one of them

So apparently I can set fixtures. I guess I will play him Round 1 through to Round 7 and then probably SI for the rest of the season.
















(I can't actually set fixtures. D: )

Even with those injuries to Quicksand you would want to play SI instead

When do we find out the fixtures? When is our rematch.
