2016 NRL.com Fantasy Thread Part 9

If past years are anything to go by, its right about this time i should lock myself out of my own fantasy team and let the good times roll.

Whitehead and Bhana/Littlejohn or CLaw and Green

Tryin to get in on the green love.


By the way can't help seeing that as Ceelo green haha

1. B Hunt or M Lichaa? = Hunt is a season keeper where as Lichaa may not be

2. T Grant or C Law? = CLaw if in CTR's

3. Rochow or C Law? = CLaw in CTR's, Rochow if 2RF

4. T Grant worth the price difference over Mataora? = Undecided, Mataora has more competition.

5. Which two out of C Gutherson, L Mitchell, and D Bhana? = IMO Gutherson and Mitchell

Hey thanks heaps for the advice!

my centres atm are littlejohn henry auvaa gutherson my 2rf are parker cooper taupau guerra rochow j.saifiti
I figure the 2rf will take up the slack and I can build up the centres as funds provide
or I redistribute the funds now, 10 hours to go I think my head will explode before then pharrk!!

Good luck for the season lads! Hoping another fanatic can take it out again this year!

Would probably go LAM or have a stab at Boyd. Have you got Whitehead and Evans?

Mann vs Gordon? I'm assuming everyone will say Gordon, but I get a good feeling about Mann after watching him in the charity shield. Anyone else see something in him vs Gordon and his goal kicking points?

@Warriors @Purpledank

Your spots are still available.

My team makes me nervous

i went a bit cold on gordon but i'm not a huge fan of mann either, though he does have potential and should get heavily involved in attack.

corey norman will run alot of the sweep plays (the ball playing fb type role) outside foran. gordon more of a ball runner.

gordon is a safe pick, mann more of a risk but more potential as well

It is a rolling lock out isn't it. i.e you can trade in and out any player who's game/team has not yet kicked off.

I think you're right

Yeah pretty much my thoughts. I suppose I could flip a coin. So hard to decide some of these 'this vs that' battles I've had in my team.

same, I hate spending money in the backs and it always comes back to bite me

Basically gun and cow over 2 steady average style players, what are people's plans?

I'd go Ferguson and Mansour. Although the other advantage of Teddy is he plays round 12 and Ferguson and Mansour don't. Who's your 3rd WFB?

Why Auva'a? He's not even named in 17. It's not out of the question in 1-2 weeks you have only one starting centre

Am I a fool for deciding I'm going to back the guy anyway to keep his spot even when Halatau returns?  Woods and even Jason Taylor himself praised his work ethic and they even mention that he's more than capable of playing in the middle so if he has a good first game I could imagine him holding his spot over Buchanan.  
If not him I've got Carter, Pauli x2, Copley and Hymel Hunt to consider. None of which inspire me with much confidence in their cash making ability.

Im backing him, the wraps are pretty good from the right people. He looked good in the trial and lets be honest he doesnt have to do anything too special to keep the likes of Buchanan out. Halatau is the issue but i think they will have room for both with Buchanan to miss out. He also has edwards and chee kam as threats but basically i think its his spot to lose. The tigers first 5 games is as good as it gets for them draw wise so im taking a punt on him. Majority of these cheapies have minimal security you just have to take a punt on one and hope you get it right. I cant see any base priced second rower that i can safely say will be there round 3.

Have gone Guerra and Green ( in my 17 ) over Whitehead and BHenry.

Sound move?

@Welshy can I change this avatar yet or do I have to wait till kick off ?
