2016 NRL.com Fantasy thread part 11

Bryce Cartwright, 6 missed tackles. If he made those tackles, his score would be 55 instead of 37.
-2 for a MT seems harsh. Should be -1 IMO. Anybody agree or refute?

It seems pretty fair to me so long as its not one of the players in my 17

I know from experience having James Maloney in my team a lot he'd probably average 50+ if missed tackles were only worth one point.

I think it's best if you avoid playing DT if that is your view

If Mbye remains in the halves & doesn't get pushed into hooker I'm thinking of swapping. This will give me enough cash to strengthen my centres. DCE seems to really be missing Foran & Walker had a shocker.

Manly had no cohesion, no go forward and no attack.
DCE still scored 50.
Can you imagine his score once they get that cohesion clicking.

Fantasy takes up enough time as it is, I don't know how you boys find the time in your lives to play multiple games. I am impressed and sombre.

You meant VSDT didn't you Milchy, not DT as a generic name for Fantasy and DT, due to the harsher penalties on errors and missed tackles over there?

This could backfire something severe, but thoughts on downgrading Rochow to Turner to free up cash?
It's lucky in a sense that I can still make the trade with unlimited trades so saves me making up next week.

Looking to replace Lichaa with Peats

Yep.

And just with those not happy with Grant, 11 tries scored means a bit more "down time" in those minutes played.

Don't listen to me because I am in a different position to everyone else, but replacing injured players inadvertently with injury prone players seems like having as much chance as compounding your issues, not solving them.

I could do something like Packer to Bhana which then makes Taylor/Saifiti my reserve

Definitely but the question is who loses minutes next week. JT only used 3 reserves, that hopeless kent Buchanan didnt get a run from what i saw. Brooks and most likely Halatau back next week in the forward/hooker rotation so back to 4 reserves rotating. Hopefully Halatau comes back in ressies but doubt it

Saw a post saying edge 2rfs could be the big winner out of the interchanges going down

Just to offer a diff pov

A lot of those that were mentioned were always 80 min players
Lovett played hooker hence sironen and claw potentially getting more mins
Parra dogs and panthers all had a spine player injured if not 1 or 2 others so next week will hopefully give us a clearer indication of the minutes for their fwd packs.

Ps jeez team lists are going to be interesting this week.
Any quotes from clubs re segs lichaa or gallen injuries? Only heard rumours

I'm going to ride the wave and not making any changes for cash. I'm going to hope Lichaa doesn't go down too much and hopefully upgrade him to Rein.

Anthony Griffin said he was unsure whether Segeyaro's injury was season-ending.

"It looks like he has a broken forearm; it's pretty disappointing but he's a pretty tough kid," Griffin said.

"He didn't want to come off, but the doctors are fairly certain that's what's happened."

Wtf segs could be season ending?? Thought forearm would just be a few weeks!


Flanno on Gal from smh
"He (Gallen) is pretty upset at the moment. He's hurt his knee... touch wood there it's not too bad.

"(Gallen's) pretty dejected in the dressing rooms. We won't know (the seriousness) until he has scans."

You're right, looks like he didn't. I didn't notice. Next week will be interesting. The way Grant got involved I'd be confident he could score the same with 10 less minutes though. But that's not what we want-we want him to play the same minutes and score 10 more points.

Exact same situation here with the same players. The clock is ticking but still not sure what I'm gonna do.

My other options are Garvey (risky) or Hodgson (safest option).

What's Wraham and Fifita averages last year without Gallen?

I thought you were running with Rein + Mann?

Who comes in for Segayro at the Panthers? I'd be keen to bring in a cheapie for 1 of Seg/Liicha, and then move the other to Cam Smith. The left-over cash can be used for a trade(s) the following week.
