2016 NRL.com Fantasy thread part 11

Barba should be quite popular so I'm not worried much. He's playing the premiers on their home turf. I was expecting a low score from him and considered running Mitchell ahead. It'd be a problem if he was so woeful that he got benched and Bird went to fb.

I wouldn't count him out just yet, SJ was on fuck all in the first half.

SJ > Barba

I bet you were smart enough to dump Moeroa straight away though? Not me I held him for another week or 2, I must have been high as a kite to do that.

I agree mate just want 1 of my boys to go above. Gonna have good weeks and bad weeks.

You cant really blow up about barba after a half of footy where they didnt have alot of ball, in a team with two brand new halves. Id like him to go after the ball a bit more but hes always going to score his points in two or three plays a game

Yeah but with the money you saved you have turned a grant into graham or something similar.

I'm not denying that or even comparing them in ability, just meant both players score mostly from attacking plays and all the points in a small window is what you should be expecting if you run them (I'm running both). Both are the sort of players that deserve more than one chance to assess them and you have to somewhat use the eye test rather than stats to see why they scored a particular way.

@liverpool_bulldog

I got bored at half time mate, if you want to update your avatar

I traded out Barba last minute for L Mitchell to have some extra $$$ to cover for all the injuries... fantasy players dropping like flies in this first round

Barba extremely close to a LB assist and TA have to settle for the offload

Haha cheers Honeysett. Can you fix my team while your at it

Im sure he can photoshop in a few players who actually scored above their break even.

After your mob beat us 3-0 I would probably bring players like Whitchurch and Kodi Nik into your team.

Nice. When i heard pearce was out for an extended time i put niko back in. Which cheapy half did u leave out

No Jniko for me.

I guess he might fund his way in as hooker now though, with seggy injured, if I need the cash for elsewhere

Haha hold up, no one deserves that kind of treatment lol

Lads which site is most reliable for player minutes? Thanks in advance.

They've got Fifita down for 2 TB, I reckon he's had about 6.

At the end of the game there should be as many TBs as there is missed tackles right?
