I have Smith in my team still, but Hampton is there and that just flat out worries me.

Isn't McGuire a trade out over origin also?
If he ends up being selected, which isn't as much of a certainty as A. Woods is.

Only temporary?
Any value there? Claw vs Benry vs Yeo vs Brown

I keep skipping between Hodgson, Lichaa and Peats. If I knew Hodgson was going to get 80 mins he would be into my side without a second thought.

People are worried about job security.
Mickey Paea or Jack Stockwell could force their way back into the team at any point

Well then, I have faith in Mataora, mainly because I hold onto that time he scored like 50+ points 2-3 times while at Canberra..

Same here, with Seggy in the mix as well.
I think Hodgson will play at least *some* 80 minute games this year. Will it be enough to make him worth it? who knows
Lichaa is sort of safe, but I don't think he has massive upside. It will need more than pre-season puff piece article to convince me he'll actually start pumping out attacking stats.
I really want Seggy, he has the highest potential upside out of anyone, just have to see if I am willing to risk it. Just have doubts about the new coach and seggy having his fantasy scores screwed over. Not sure if these fears are baseless or not.
Peats should be reliable, and the byes are tempting.

Re: 2016 NRL.com Fantasy Thread Part 9
Cuban put it pretty well a couple of pages back Random...
Would you be more upset if
A) He plays round one and score 35-40 and then doesn't play again all season (barring injury)
OR
B) Plays round one and scores 35-40 and is then selected in the side for round two (meaning you only missed on rounds price rise)?

Peachey and ET there on the bench, so appears that Yeo is there on form.
He started in the forwards 10 times last year for an average of 36 points and 60 minutes. Priced at an average of 33 don't see a tonne of value there.
Don't think that he'll play big minutes. He is surely going to get subbed before Merrin or Cartwright.
CLaw or Brown better value.
Benry is a trap and I'd avoid him if you can.

a) JBrom and a $130 rookie in my 17 (JNik most likely)
or
b) Sue and Turner? or 2 other plays totaling $700k.
It dilutes my guns to go option B but also gives the team a bit more balance however JBrom could be absolutely sensational this year and his scores could make up the difference alone.

i think hampton is just there as coverage for slater.
smith will play 80. theres no way bellamy will waste two interchanges to give smith a 10 min break and theres no way smith goes below those sorts of minutes.
bennett (obviously not the storm coach) said himself, the days of a 10 minute interchange player are over.

I'm playing JBrom Random.
He's reliable as the Australian summer, and although may fluctuate a little week to week, nothing is stopping him averaging 60 each week throughout the year.
It also means one less trade as he won't play origin.
To me he is set and forget, was last year as well. Been in my side since day one.

I have all bases covered as I have both Benry and Yeo in Ultimate. Need to pick two between Chambers, Linnett, Yeo and Benry for round 1 (trying to beat that Random)
