2016 NRL.com Fantasy thread part 14

I had "Suspected glandular fever" a few weeks ago. In the end, after blood tests, it was just a bad case of tonsillitis, but nonetheless I certainly wouldn't have played football feeling like that. I wasn't leaving bed feeling like that.

Play J. Saifiti, Grant or Taylor over Whitehead?

You'd think that Hodgson will play in the halves and maybe Whitehead covers Hodgson in defence and racks up a lot of tackles in the middle. It's playing either J.Saifiti or Whitehead so I'm going to stick with Whitehead..

Is D.Saifiti playing?

TBH you should just play Whitehead and see what happens. He might score 70.

FFS, Whitehead playing half, Merrin possibly out with glandular fever, Feeney dropped last minute..

Haha need to make a call on whether to swap Merrin for J Saifiti last minute ?

Have 35 minutes to find out or looking as an AE that will be no better than 27...

You have Baptise and Hodgson who can play half at a pinch and you play Whitehead there instead? Strange. Almost like he wants to fuck up my multi before it starts

Feeney was dropped a few days ago, it was only officially confirmed today but it was well known the young guy was coming in and Gagai to fullback

I dont think whitehead will actually play 5/8. Except maybe the first 15 or 20 mins. We'll see i guess

Yeah I allowed for feeney and saw the rumours, but was more coming from the point of view that team lists mean fuck all and you need to be on top of things in fantasy.
There is enough false rumours out there, it is hard enough to find the facts, especially 1/2 an hour from kickoff..

Fuck it Merrin into my NPRs and reserve in Saifiti. Will still play Whitehead. Dont want to risk a possibly low scoring AE.

Updated team lists. no word on Merrin in here

They update the teamlists as they are announced. E.g. Raiders V Knights says Final Team because it is what they have written on the teamsheet.

So we wont know about Merrin until an hour before the game.

Is nobody posting the final team lists in here anymore?

Going to go with my gut and bench Merrin for Saifiti. Hope it works out

Whitehead for 5 try assists

Sticky master plan, buy every second rower and fill the team up with them
