2016 NRL.com Fantasy thread part 13

Have 11 starters today...not counting nprs....something to cheer! I am hoping for 500-550 with a player average of 40-45, that would put me on track for a 800+ score to make up for a sub 700 score last week....here's hoping!

Glad I dont go for RTS and SJ, Had them both in my side at stages, but thought Teddy would be a better pay off, plus he was waaaay cheaper.

Well 40-50 per player I would be happy with. Im unsure of one reserve though, that would be Grant and Nikorima? Any thoughts?

One would think that Nikorima SHOULD get more attacking stats this week against the Raiders, so id go for him.

Are the Raiders that bad lol

I dont think theyre that bad. But with both of their halves out injured, the stand in havles arent a good... Plus on their 'bad' days, the Raiders can leak points...

Law Of averages also backs up your claims haha. Will run with him and hope for a belter

Have to decide on my 4 benchies.... In order of what I'm currently considering: Rochow, Evans, Carter, Hastings, Mataora, Nikorima, Taylor.

First 3 I'm pretty sure on, think thats the most sensible option, but stuck deciding between Hastings Mataora and Nikorima. I think the roosters might put on some points against us tomorrow (though we get the win in the end) so one of the halves might do well and hastings did the bulk of the kicking. Hence gone him. But maybe Mataora is the safest option, scored mostly from base stats, should get the same minutes again I'd assume.

Opinions/Advice?

Rochow, Evans/Carter, Hastings, Nikorima for me.

Roosters to turn it on this week after last week.

The flip side to JNiko is that he may have been underscored in missed tackles last week.
if that catches up to him he may suffer a points hit.

Grant won't excel but should have a higher floor than JNiko.

I'm happy to take a slight gamble on Niko this week over Grant. Tomorrow morning will be interesting to wake up to.

I had no-one tonight. I went from 17000 to 49500!

Well I have Merrin & Macca played & I'm 53,312.

So I've already used 1 trade = Cartwright to W. Graham
2nd trade
(a) Aubs out - J. Trbo in (via Surgess) or
(b) Green out - Carter in

Note that I'm after points not good sense.
Thanks.

Hurrell will likely get a call up next week, shame cause I was hoping he wouldn't until my cows were ready to be milked

Broncos v Warriors changes:

I've only had Merrin play so far

@WhiteLightening I would go Green to Carter... I think Aubo will be much better this week against Canberra...

BTW there are officially 83,309 teams in NRL Fantasy at the moment.

As always love ya work Monty.

I've got 13 players that will be playing today!
