2016 NRL.com Fantasy thread part 14

Bunnies are the first game anyway so no need to start stressing just yet. I reckon he plays.

So Inglis thought the score was 6 all when he took a shot at field goal. Maybe he can count, maybe he just needs to get his eyes checked.

The score hadn't changed since half time!

i'll hold surgess if he doesnt play.

jacob saifiti has become solid for 40 pts so the R can stay on him another week or two.

You two are on fire this morning.

I'm not sure what im going to do about my CTR's atm. Realistically who are the actual guns for this year, who are the potential cheapies/cows. I'm really scratching my head over it.

I think If Mann returns this week and Dugan stays at the back he'll be a good pickup.

May not be any guns at all, if you define a gun as a 50+ average. Just keep pumping the cheapies through as they surface.

The Lurker seems to think that Jayden Nikorima could be dropped to ressies with Tyler Cornish being promoted to fill his place. Would definitely solve the problem for those looking to trade in TMM.

It's not his fault he's been shown up. The problem lies in the forwards who aren't muscling up. They should drop half the pack as well if they're going to drop him.

hastings has been worse.

I am in the same boat with Ferguson and Aubbuson. I realistically am going to hold Aubbusson at this stage. However I want to trade out Ferguson next week. Options I am looking at..

- Josh Dugan (Now at Fullback, makes him a certain gun. Origin hurts though.)
- Lewis Brown (Great option but Buhrer returning soon and Manly Second Row overall makes me question his minutes.)
- Kevin Naiqama (I think he has potential to maintain his form. Maybe not 2-3 tries a game but should still be solid.)
- Hymel Hunt (As above, needs to maintain form. However he looks like my most likely option.)

Papa raises a good point about Aitken being an option if he maintains his position.

So Dugan could be an option, but he isnt cheap, but injury prone and origin as you say. Still worth considering
Lewis brown looks good but questions marks over minutes as you say, and is he really going to be that much better then fergo/aubs on average? Not sure
Kevin, bang or bust players, tigers had a good 3 round draw, and his points have come from a large amount of tries and assists, nearly 300k now, once again on average will he outscore aubs fergo?
Hymel Hunt, still relatively cheap, has played very well.

Im almost thinking I will just write - off CTR as a position where you need/get a gun, and pick up hymel hunt and kevin naq(or somebody else). That way I can pocket the extra $150k and use it elswhere.

So really just settle for average scores but apply the cash to where i can get more safe points

Well it is the Lurker doesn't that guy just throw out 100 rumours and then claim he's a genius when he gets one right. I mean it's not J Niko's fault that Taukeiaho leaves him one on one with Papalii, it's not his fault Hastings was too stupid not to take a field goal. He's only 19 years old and frankly given the situation he finds himself in he's handling it pretty well. Unless Cornish is going to have Jack Bird/Kane Elgey impact on the team then we'd just be replacing one young, inexperienced half with another and wondering where it went wrong if we get whooped again.

TEAM:

W/F: Feeney, Barba, Tedesco … Kennar, Mitchell
C: Croker, Lyon … Scott, P Mata’utia
H: M'bye & Milford … Hastings & Taylor
2RF: Merrin , Whitehead, Ma’u … Carter, Benry, J Saifiti
FRF: Fifita, Woods … Evans, Leuluai
H: Peats … Nikorima

Sitting on 646 with Fifita (C), Lyon, Barba and Green (NPR FOR MERRIN)

Who should i be looking to trade in and trade out, any feedback is greatly appreciated

Pat Mata'utia, Gutherson and Hunt look solid options in centers

So...great... I might be without Burgess, Carter, Gavet and J-Nik.
I still want to ditch Lafai, Ferg, Evans, Barba, Leuluai etc etc

Not entirely sure how I'm inside the top 10,000 still.
