2016 NRL.com Fantasy thread part 17

Touch wood that none of my players will be suspended (even though that's unlikely). Anyway this is my team:


Hookers: Smith, JNiko
Front Row: Mataora, JTrbo, Evans, Surgess
2nd Row: Taupau, Cartwright, Carter, Rochow, Whitehead, JSaifiti
Halves: Milford, DCE, Hastings, Walker
Centre: Aubusson, Gutherson, Henry, Green
Backs: Gordon, Mitchell, TTrbo, Feeny, CMatautia

Useless team lists.

Suspension/injury going to change heaps of what was named.

Well TLT was a real fizzer

Thoughts on RTS ?
Has run 200m all 3 games though has started being more involved and breaking tackles.
With warriors getting more desperate can see him chancing his arm a bit more.
Solid base stats as well as being a proven gun and a lot cheaper than Tedesco.
Cons are he can be bought cheaper possibly in a week or 2 but should only drop a bit more with a BE of 60 odd..
Also doesn't play origin and doesn't get a lot of injuries

He for example would allow me to move gutherson to Ctr and with CLaw out means i have a full team. Also an injury cloud around Mitchell

Liked Munster as well but noticed both fullback scores had a try, so without that would meant he didn't score that well/consistent.

Anyone else worth looking at? Radradra is a roller coaster but does like to break a tackle and carry it out like a forward on early tackles in their half.

Seems this new fantasy favours tacklebreakers a lot so the potential is there for a huge game

Yeah im taking him this week. Has had barely any attacking stats and we know he has it in him.

Its only a matter of time til he busts out a 90. Im taking him this week, only because i have to with all the injuries and suspensions.

You could just as easily pick him up next week though

If anyone needs any proof that the people doing well this year are all the people who do everything a good Fantasy player shouldn't, look no further than the guy who got 903 this week and is coming 3rd in my 100+ league. He asked if players prices had changed yet and said he had no idea his players had been going up or down.

RTS also up against the Knights this week. Perfect time to bring him in.

The Warriors will lose. They couldn't beat the Newcastle under 10's atm.

Or if someone's a risk taker, like myself

RTS this week with an eye for aubbs to Dugan next week?

Yeah I'm a Warriors supporter and I have to say that we're probably going to lose another game. It won't be long now till McFadden gets sacked. I think players like Johnson has had enough and will start playing out of his shell again when Cleary comes back into the fold.

Oh and went from around 8000th to 17000th.

what you mean Rochow finally had a good score?

he hit a 51 Round 1, was on around 10 half time R2 and scored 33 and did sweet FA for 46 last round, a few people didn't think he would get over 30s

nothing not to like at his price

Aubbs/DCE for RTS/Norman

Can people break that down for me please?

Is hurrell named for the forwards? It's happened before right, where does he normally come on, 2nd row or prop? Always a strange move for someone usually criticised for their fitness and defence...

Does anyone have BEs for JNik, Hastings, TMM, Parcell and Gutherson?

Aubbs has had the worse possible points avg you would expect him to start the season with playing 80 in the 2RF, regardless of last weeks move to the CTR, his avg in the 2RF is 46 I think so down 7-10 points this year to what he normally gets in the 2RF I'm sticking with him because wasting trades in the CTR and WFB often backfires, RTS though might be the exception because he is a GUN, who else is in your WFB?

I said yesterday that DCE doesn't have a single attacking stat to his names through 3 games minus TB's and offloads....no tries, TA's, LB's, LBA's...still going in the 40s and his kicking game is down 5-10 points, when that all comes back and it will he will be where we thought he would pre season....an infusion of new players, new coach just taking longer for him to adjust

Also Kapow getting a week is sickening. If he breaks a jaw there they give him 6+. Injuries shouldn't sway a penalty so much for the exact same action.
Ps: how did he not have loading?

Would you trade him out though if it meant one could upgrade Evans to a gun? I'm highly considering doing that this week.

Unsure of trades so after a little advice here guys.

Current CTRs and WFBs are:

Gutherson, Auva'a, Scott, Benry
Fergo, Gordon, Barba, Mitchell, Feeney

Can bring in RTS for Fergo at the back and that would leave me with $202,000.

Then I'm thinking of going with either one of my centres and coping Auva'a if he plays or an AE of Mitchell/JNiko/Safiti if Auva'a doesn't. This will mean I can bring in Dugan next week for Auva'a/Scott/Benry as Dugan will likely have another price drop and I am a few 000's short this week.
