2016 NRL.com Fantasy thread part 12

1-3 months for Lichaa means too much doubt to bring in Garvey for me. Too many other potential options lurking at the Knights for Randall's minutes also...Might just have to go Lichaa to another gun, but it will mean missing out on Carter, at least for one more week anyway.

I would be going Leiluai to Carter and getting your money from one of the backs eg Roberts, Lafai or Ferg

Lafai or Ferg are definitely options.
Thinking Roberts is definitely worth another week at least considering he'll be carving up Warriors lack of defence.

Im ranked in the 16k. I should have run with the team I PMed you...

I will go back and have a look through my PM's.  It was the night before lockout wasn't it?

unfortunately I don't have the swaps set up to go Leuluai to Carter so it might have to be Bhana.

That rank seems about average the difference being the money you saved. It's looking like you picked the perfect year to try it.

FWIW, I have a good feeling about the Warriors this week. This week feels a bit like NZ Vs Aus for the Warriors Vs Broncos.

Dogs are first game up this week so we will know what Des is doing before lock out. Just gunna sit tight and make my decision on Thursday

Who is the threat to Randall?

I still think if Lichaa is out for 1 - 2 months the trade could be worth well over $100k

After thinking it over I am going Seggy to Macca. Come seasons end Macca will be one of top HKR scorers regardless of what he scores last week. His mins wont change at all and kodi was on the bench last year so no real change there.

Its a safe option no doubt

Lichaa to J Reynolds via J Nik
BHenry to Carter

Or I could stay off Carter, have $103k left over and play Safiti

Ranked 24 in the overall group! I'm getting nose bleeds from being this high. Call the leagues off now that's as good as it gets!

Why do you want J Reynolds?

my projections

Randell 297k -   50-60 (if 80 min) 490k peak (193k increase) job security
Garvey 130k -   35-45                 360k peak (230k increase) might not reach peak dep on Lichaa inj
Carter 198k  -   35-55                 400k peak (202k increase) depending on minutes?

Thoughts everyone on NOT chasing any more Cows (after Garvey) with my set up?

So for example if TMM is named, I wouldn't bring him in, even though he has the potential to earn big dollars.  The theory is I have enough in the kitty and could possibly start making in roads by bringing in Guns now.  Although, would rather wait 1-2 weeks to work out who are going to be guns, especially after the injury affected minutes of Round 1.  If I was to wait 1 or 2 weeks then would I be stupid TO NOT bring in the Cows that everyone is?

Is it worth using Green to get Carter if it means playing Gutherson/Littlejohn? Just weighing up the options including via DPP

I wanted to get him in all year, he makes quite a few tackles, sets up tries, gets good kick metres and I think he's under priced.im banking on him to be my midrange player I can ride to a gun

I think Levi will be back from injury this week so don't be surprised to see Randall rotate the strike with him.

Hasn't Massoud got stuff wrong before? Feel like I remember something last season. 22 hrs ago he tweets visiting knee surgeon today. 6 weeks - 3 months

Probably worth grabbing Garvey and Carter. I also have plenty of cash(nowhere near as much as you) so I can afford Lichaa>Garvey, Henry>Trbojevic and Bhana(dud cow)>Whitehead next week. Really tempted to start spending some cash this week and grab Jake Friend or Mannering to get the jump on some extra guns
