2016 NRL.com Fantasy thread part 12

Archer wrote:I didn't realise people are unhappy with Whitehead, did they watch the game or just going by the fantasy stats/score? Got better as the game went on defence wise, busted his ass for 80min in 35 degrees and looks like 32 will be his rock bottom.

I know he had a fair few missed tackles in SL, but I think that will be improved as part of his development in the NRL. Doubt he will give away 2 penalties every week either (the two he did give looked to be just silly decisions caused by fatigue). Just improving there should bump him up towards 40, then you look at his offensive stats for the game.... I guarantee that improves.

Average discrepancy between NRL Fantasy score and Supercoach score for fullbacks this round is 7 points.

Slater 15 NF, 53 SC
Mann 25 NF, 53 SC

Probably some big updates from them to come, as is usual for fullbacks.

Cheers Monty, If Mann updates decently I'll feel a lot better about the week and might be able to hold off trades because of it

100% people always get upset when guys don't hit their averages in round 1, have to take the rough with the smooth

How did Mann go in real life? Was considering a Gordon/Mansour trade down to Mann to fund Lichaa - Peats, none of my 2RF i want to dump to create the cash needed

So come on lads as a group we gotta lot of work to do.
My side has its fair share of issues, injuries / low performers and also got a lucky with a few that are not likely to score as well as they did this week. Will take 800 next week if I can get it !!

Thought Mann had a poor game IRL, and Dugan was poor in the centres too. Not sure how long it'll be before Dragons backline reshuffled if that keeps up.

Edit: LAM on the other hand is a much bigger concern for me, because his score was less about him as a player and more about the team dynamics and his coach... things he can't do a lot to improve. Dodgy/Inconsistent minutes scare me more than most things fantasy wise.

Would love to know as well, won't get time to watch the game and missed most of the game on the radio as I actually had to do some work :S
