2016 NRL.com Fantasy thread part 13

updates were very kind to me, found me another 32 points, situation not as dire now, but there's still a lot of work to do to make this team competitive

EDIT: for those who can't see the app (trying to pick out the most relevant scores, feel free to ask if you want some-one elses):

Barba 28
Fifita 45
Graham 40

Mann 18
Ah Mau 34
Packer 29

JBrom 50
Smith 76

Taylor 32
Taia 35
Paasi 22

How did Taia update?

Thanks Surmo lol.

An extra 24 that's handy. Should crack 700, that's a relief haha

First time inside the top 10k for this year for my team. Wonder how long that will last

This week was rough. My trades were good and I'm happy with those but the site cocking up and leaving me with 3 reserves means I didn't get to benefit from Mataora's score and instead and I'm praying for a miracle with Green who I intended to leave out of the 17 all together but was the only one left when I realised.
JRey was disgusting, I don't care if its only one week he can piss off after that. Choosing to play Mann and leave Mitchell out of the 17 was stupid and hurt but given I only woke up 10min before the start of that game I can accept it as shit that happens when playing from another time zone.

Other than that, Gutherson, Mansour and LAM were disappointing and the bullshit binning of BJ meant he underperformed as well. As such I'm 630 with only Green left (yay!). Oh well, surely its only up from here.... surely.

How many you got playing tonight? Most people seem to have 2-3.....i have just the 1 so if i manage to stay inside top 10k i will be happy, started round 22k

That will teach me for taking the c off Smith!

Rule number 1!

Yeah Baby!!!

584 with Teddy, Woods,JTurbo and Greeny to play - kinda ok with that considering I have ARey sitting there injured, just dont know what to do there

You would think one would have learned by now

Feels like not having 1 of Garvey or Walker for the next few weeks will see me fall further and further behind. On the other hand, I'm not sure whether I've already missed the boat.

The uncertainty around Lichaa's return means bringing in Garvey might be a waste of a trade for the tiny band-aid it would provide my team. Walker is likely to be around for slightly longer but all I have to go on is a performance in a team that's dominated both weeks which isn't going to keep on.

I'm leaning towards bringing in Walker as he looks to make a good number of tackles (with a low missed tackle rate) and even though its only low kick meters its not something I'll turn my nose up at. Feels like worse case scenario he scores low 30's which should mean he still makes me some cash but then what I'm really looking for is points to try and catch me back up after 2 shit weeks, so that's not as useful to me.

Perhaps I should be looking at Norman instead, those kick meters are very very appealing. Thoughts?

Oh yeah, forgot to include this in my list of fuckups for the week. Started the season with Smith for the main reason that I regretted not having him last year and being able to captain him from the get go. OFC that means I captain Parker both weeks instead. Not terrible I know, but just more salt. I've learnt the error of my ways, I won't choose another over you ever again (C)am.

I have 4 legitimate options in what to do with peats
1) do nothing and hope that he is back in 2/3 weeks or less
2) trade to Garvey and hope that lichaa takes longer then reported, use cash to turn v leuluai to graham. When lichaa back cash in a cow and turn Garvey to him
3) trade to jake friend - hoping j niko doesn't steal too many points when Pearce returns
4) push j niko to hooker get walker in use cash to turn v leuluai to graham

I am probably leaning to number 2 or 3.

First of all good work sash. Lots of failed teams this week so you should make huge inroads or put a gap on most of us....I think people use to get the shits with guys who never post then jump on to gloat then disappear again. I have peats and leaning towards option 1. There was a tweet from peats I saw that mentioned he didn't know where that 6 week timeframe came from. So I'm gonna hope he only misses a few. Pending any other info he's a hold for me

Was looking to trade in Fifita or Parker this coming week and now Im not so sure if I should go J Graham instead.

So will Parker. I want a solid consistent 55+ point scorer every single week in my squad.
