2016 NRL.com Fantasy thread part 13

What's with people having their age in their profile?

I'll join the party if SI does.

That's what happens when the scores are inflated by tries in back to back weeks

Feel a bit better post-updates. Mitchell getting a good score, Hastings scoring ok despite how poorly the Roosters played, and Aubusson playing at centre

I even thought he might be worth a look. Not now lol.

at least everyone is in the same boat and it wont impact too bad, majority of players would of been fielding a combination of roosters in their 17 who had dud nights, probably between 2-4 on average.

Included a few interesting things from RLW Late Mail which i don't believe has been mentioned yet:

Panthers: Te Maire Martin is set to debut for for the Panthers at 6. Will Smith returns to first grade at fullback, with Dean Whare (calf, round seven) dropping out of the team.Waqa Blake (cork) is expected to take his place against the Broncos. James Fisher-Harris and Leilani Latu are a chance of coming into the 17. Skipper Matt Moylan still at least a week away from returning to the side.

Warriors: Manu Vatuvei (ribs) is expected to be ruled out, with Jonathan Wright or Konrad Hurrell vying for his spot. Blake Ayshford (concussion) is expected to play.

Dragons: Kurt Mann (ankle) is out for the short term with Josh Dugan to shift to fullback. Dugan (hamstring) has made a full recovery from the injury suffered in the derby against the Sharks.


Will be interesting to see if TMM plays, prefer he doesn't with all these cheap half choices and Segeyaro not long away from coming back

This is where the 2 free looks comes in handy in supercoach/DT

If TMM does play you get 2 weeks to have a look at his scores before deciding if you want to trade him in (and also 2 free weeks of price rises form your existing cows)

Fantasy makes you pick early if you want to bring him in.

Aubs should go back to 2nd row next week, with Joe Burgess coming in for Copley.

(Still not really a great trade in though, but I'd hold if you have him)

Anyone know who Paul Carter will have opposite him on Sunday? Trying to decide my 17th player.

Contemplating between 2 sets of trades, 1 goes for cash, one goes for keepers. Any input would be appreciated

First choice
Bhana to Taupau
Cooper to BLaw
$145k in bank for next week

Second
Cooper to Gaham
LAM to JTrbo
$205k in bank for next week

Option 1 I drop a spud gun and a dud cow for a proper gun and a mid range cow. Leaves me in a position that I need to upgrade LAM the following week to JTrbo and Fergs to Croker

Option 2
Get 2 guns but miss Taupau for the time being until Carter/Turner peak. Hoever means I have 2 trades next week that I can use on backs where I can go Fergs to Croker and Green/Aubbs to Scott. While Green is a dud I really see no point in rushing him out, at most he will lose 30k and he isn't in my 17, plus will not play once Buhrer is back

Straight up option 2.

Second looks like the winner to me.

When do points get updated on fantasy? Still has Mitchell at 21 for me.

I believe it's due to the Telstra outages. Still playing catchup. NRL Fantasy probably doesn't have the priority it deserves b

Bloody Telstra. That's just typical.

I like the trades in option one, but option 2 probably more urgent: LAM's $ going down this week and JTrbo's $ going up

Hey lads, great to finally be able to get back online. After two weeks of having (at best) sporadic internet due to communist party meetings and China blocking every website as fast as Astrill could unblock it, it finally seems this morning that I am able to return to the fold!

Unfortunately I haven't been able to get onto ultimate league for the last two weeks so am having a doozy on there... I have also noticed just now that I can get back on that I am unable to move players for some reason... Any idea why?

Should I play Mansour (vs Broncos defence) or Gordon (vs Bulldogs)?

I'm expecting this to happen to Tedesco as well.
