2016 NRL.com Fantasy thread part 17

mtb is probably right re the player was probably dropped for rnd 2 not 3, but it wouldn't be ET cause he played rnd 2

i wouldnt call will smith at fb out of position though.

Rd 2 - Euan Aitken named wing / dropped ?

Nah, he was probably too busy making movies, or do you mean that Panthers guy? If so you could be onto something because I think he is usually a half, 5/8.

Here's some perspective

Fantasy score ranking:

point difference between rank:
1-10: 50 points
1-50: 100 points
1-250: 150 points
1-950: 200 points
1-2600: 250 points
1-5700: 300 points

.@SSFCRABBITOHS' Paul Carter will seek a downgrade of his grade two dangerous contact charge. If unsuccessful he will miss two weeks #NRL

i think he would struggle to get it downgraded? but who knows...

In these circumstances is it the player who gets to decide to challenge or is it their club management /coach etc who decides to challenge? You'd assume if a club challenges they must think they have reasonable grounds to considering the risk if unsuccessful.

Anyone would think you have little regard for the common nrl player

Not all of them but it will happen again and it it will be a knuckledragger who does it.

club decides.

i just think with the players that have gotten off of other charges recently the NRL will want to stand its ground on something at least.

Well Brenton Lawrence is out of contention if he's got a week's suspension so I guess Kane Evans stays for one week of which he is bound to lose a little value. Tough to manage things this week

Which NRL star was dropped last week after his wife gave his club’s football manager an almighty spray?

The player was named out of position, much to the annoyance of his better half. She told the boss as much – and the player was promptly dumped from the team altogether.

I thought Scott being a late withdrawal

good guess, I just checked and he is only 19 therefore unlikely married. wing/centre is his usual position too

Thought he was injured and heard this rumour the day before game

Maybe its Nathan Green. He was named in 1st grade which is out of position so he was dropped. Makes sense

Could be but he played wing in rd 1

The other one is that Slater's shoulder isn't as bad as made out. Munster got named at fullback, Slater's Mrs flies off the handle and all of a sudden Slater is not seeing the usual doctor and flying to Sydney for treatment and there are rumours he could retire, he says he will play next year. Sit back with the popcorn fellas, being a Tiger's supporter I know a conspiracy when I see one.

Could it be Sisa Waqa

Slater wasnt named out of position. Clutching at straws there I think.

Slater's wife could literally drop a hot turd in the middle of the Melbourne Storm CEO's office and billy slater would still not be dropped.
