16 according to the Cows sheet

I'm in 2 minds with Green. He has a good b/e of 16 as you say. With a Brown, Taupau, Trbo backrow he could maybe get 30 minutes if lucky but if he plays like last week he might struggle to even match his b/e. However being shunted to the bench might make him pull finger & he could be much busier when he comes on & score a 20-25 which will see an increase in value.

Well your centers are exactly the same as mine (As are your halves) except you have LJ where I have Hunt. You might have Hunt also in the back as he is DPP.

Your hookers are set. No worries there.

Do you have enough cash to do Leuluia - Carter? Or even Pauli Pauli - Carter would be better.

Honestly I cant see anything too terribly wrong with it. That team is quite similar to mine and your team can definitely score better this week.

Either..

Paulix2 - Carter seems like the logical option.

If you need the cash then you could do Grant - Lawrence. Its a bit of a gamble. Grant to me just doesnt scream cash cow/money maker. I never even bothered to read the chat around him, just doesnt strike me as that type of player. I know Lawrence has had injuries, but you would net 78K from Grant - Lawrence and maybe that would be enough to do Paulix2 - Carter.

Just my two cents.. You obviously bought Grant for a reason. I think him and Evans are the same type of buy.

Thanks for taking the time mate.

I bought both Grant and Evans because I saw them better value at this stage than an ah mau or Rochow, plus I struggled with who to ditch if going with only one of them. Grants spot is safer year long and uptick through origin and Evans safe for a while until JWH.

I don't mind the Grant to Lawrence and don't think it too much of a gamble. His time in ressies didn't last and manly getting belted pretty much brings him in as season long candidate. Will get more minutes than starling eventually if not right away

Fortunately, 4 days later it all showed up in an office of a bar that I apparently visited. Although I have absolutely zero recollection of that.

Anyways, not a great start to 2016 fantasy for me although managed to avoid all the injuries, just a crappy score. I can live with that.

As for this site, pages are screaming by. I get my computer back today only to notice that I've missed 150 odd pages!

Loving having footy back!

No worries. Im sure you have helped me once or twice over the years

2 (Or 3?) Years ago Lawrence was getting 45+ week in week out. Was a gun forward, I think it was his rookie season. Defo got my eye on him.

White Lightning wrote:Here's my team Lukeaye with 146k.

Smith, Macca
Surgess, Grant, Evans, Leuluai
Merrin, Aubussen, Cartwright, Whitehead, Henry, J. Saifiti
DCE, Hastings, J-Nik, Taylor
Ferguson, Gutherson, Green, Littlejohn
Slater, Gordon, Barba, Feeney, Mitchell

My 1st trade is Henry to Carter but I also want to bring in J. Trbo & move Aubs to ctr.

If you cant find anyone else to cover for you I would be more then happy to do so. Just shoot me a PM if you need any help lad.

Finch wrote:Ugh.

Just read this article.. Basically Creagh is saying he wants more minutes and the coaches will keep tinkering with it and "Hopefully I can get more game time"

I think I'll be selling Cooper now. Just doesn't seem worth it.

Hmmm

Well I cant post the link because im a new member.

Its on NRL.com though

Funny that when Merrin signed with the Panthers everyone thought JDB or Cooper were going to benefit with increased minutes. At this point in time that doesnt look like happening.
