2016 NRL.com Fantasy Thread Part 8

rhinoceroo wrote:Lots of 2nd hooker talk with Lichaa/Seggy/Peats/Hodgson but nobody that I've seen mentioning Issac Luke. Secret POD or bad option? I see his game as far more suited to the Warriors style than the Bunnies, should be getting 80, price a bit deflated from Maguire pissing around with him in the halves for a while last year. Currently have Lichaa (Smith locked in) and there's a lot to like about him but Luke very tempting.

shhh lol, Luke's one of the few players that hasnt left my side since first draft, and the only thing that will remove him is "14. Leuluai"

Now there are rumours on twitter about Blawrence starting.. Wish I could have tomorrow off so I could just sleep all day and wake up at 4 for the team lists!

Wouldn't be surprised as a few of the manly backrowers have injury clouds don't they? Can see Myles shifting back there and Lawrence starting with JTurbo? Might only be for a round or 2

Liverpool_Bulldog wrote:Is this team to light on guns?? Or has some balance been struck. Bold are obvioulsy reserve options, not to keen on reserving any of the halves down to wfb except for Taylor

Seggy, Lichaa
Woods, Grant, Evans, BLaw
Cooper, Carty, LAM, Rochow, NAS, JSaifiti
DCE, Hastings, Taylor, JNikorima
Aubbs, CLaw, Auvaa, Gutherson
Mansour, Gordon, Barba, Feeney, Mitchell

16k spare

1. Think there are better options than Cooper (assuming Mike, but same for Gavin) for his price. Downgrade NAS to a $130k player and you could upgrade Cooper to Parker, or to Surgess with plenty of change and your 17 would look a lot stronger. (Think there's even money left over to go M.Cooper to Surgess and Seggy to Smith, if you want)

2. Would prob pick Ferguson over Mansour in this particular team because you don't have any WFB/CTR DPPs at the back.

3. Don't fancy CLawrence personally, but may well be wrong on that.

4. No top-tier captaincy options, but that's fixed by 1.

Just Brown that I know of. Interesting make up if Green and Lawrence start. I don't know whether it'll be worth putting in Green even if he is only 170k definitely better than Copley but how good is his job security pretty naff I reckon

I was tempted by Abbey but if Morris is only out for 4 weeks then its the same risk as Eden and Niko

Teams out yet?

Adrian Proszenko @proshenks
BREAKING: Hearing Kieran Foran is in doubt for round one with a hamstring problem. @TheParraEels @LeagueHQ1

Kyle Turner or Chris Lawrence?

No the question is who breaks first

Teams are released at 5pm not 5am. Go back to sleep.

Speedball Deluxe wrote:@Bren what is the chance that if Greg Eden kills it at Wing he keeps the spot over kahu (when reed back)  and maranta?

IF Eden does kill it he might keep Reed out for a while but I cant see that lasting long. I think Eden will eventually be dropped with Reed slotting into CTR and Kahu to W.

The Kung Fu Peanuts will defeat the Gross Old Ravens.

Last week, the official fantasy twitter account tweeted that digitial pass winners would be notified yesterday.

Did anyone get an email?

Seems I missed out. Which is BS considering I created a League of 20, I should be rewarded for that.

same here still waiting. The fantasy rules said winners would be posted up on 26th Feb, then on 25th they said Monday, now it's Tuesday. Better be here by Thursday.

I'm out on a stag do this weekend (Fri / Sat) and then wedding next weekend (miss all games next weekend). I hope TLT and late mail are kind early in the season
