2016 NRL.com Fantasy thread part 12

Fifita did a late down date to 60 on my team. Was that the same for anyone else? Swear it was 62 this morning

For anyone wondering about Lachlan Croker, he's got the skills and size to do well but has still struggled a bit tackling men. I wouldn't be surprised if he scores well, maybe even picks up a try or two
I doubt anyone is considering him, for good reason, I wouldn't either. But with Williams and him in the team don't be surprised if the roosters pick up more tb's and possibly more lb's than usual this week. Worth remembering when you check the stats for the week.

Has Tolman ever played hooker in his life?

If Mbye or Reynolds go to hooker, then someone else has to go to the halves (T-Rex/Jackson?) Not an impossibility though.

Based on Cook last year, I think they'll try and play Garvey 80 minutes if they can

Yep a few years ago Ennis went down in the 20th minute Tolman played out the game at hooker then was going to play there the next week if Ennis wasn't ready

Same. I want confirmation that Lichaa not going to be back in 4 weeks and stuck having to flog Garvey

Sounds like Garvey is getting a happy ending regardless....

Only two trades for me. Lichaa to Walker and Vincent L to Matora.

With Henderson playing a much larger role than I thought I don't see much room for Vinnie unless injury strikes. I think there is more value in JFH I remember last year RCG and Jturbo both dick all minutes in the first round to blood them they ended up going alright

I think it would be a pretty safe bet that Jackson spells Garvey. But then again not many of my 'bets' have paid off so far this year.

Correct.

You've got a max of two trades anyway haha

I think the late update was to fix that Josh Aloiai issue.

Inside running for first coach to be sacked this year?

I would back myself in to be short priced favourite for that.

Bring in J. Graham or J. Trbo this week,

Haha meant to say "im considering"

Morning! So why isn't Paul Carter a must have? Started on the edge scored 50 odd with -14 in errors and MT, no Sutton and starting on the edge again, under $200,000 and I can't see him going not below a 35 avg, what's that a $100,000 increase?

Looks to pick himself as a 4th reserve.

I need to now find 26k to reverse my error of changing him to Pauli Pauli before round 1!

Can't believe I'm considering "downgrading" Slammin Sam Burgess

Nathan Green named on the bench - stick with him or sell?

Im sticking with N.Green (in VSDT)

Upgrading Ben Henry to him for me was a no brainer, a player that won't play and a player that will make cash - just seems easy

Purely to free up cash right?
