2016 NRL.com Fantasy thread part 19

Just reading the Lone Scouts Fantasy winners & Losers article... no mention of JDB...

It must be a conspiracy keeping him below the radar

With Cartwright and the Panthers in general I think once Moylan and Segeyaro come back their attacking stats will go up a bit and so I'm willing to hold him for now pending the diagnosis just because DCE has to go this week and Carter might lose money this week if he's benched.

R1 -12
R2 -6
R3 -12
R4 -12 in 40 mins

Cartwright averaged -7 points a game in negatives last year - where he only averaged 53 minutes, so he's performing about the same as last year in that regard.

Ignore last round because of injury and he averaged 47 in the first 3 rounds. That is pretty good output for his price, and if he wasn't injured I doubt anyone who thought he was good enough to start with would consider dropping him.

Certainly for myself, only medium-long term injury will result in a tradeout.


Also - why the sudden focus from a lot of people on negative stats?
Its like only wanting forwards that play 80 minutes. If someone can put up a big score you still want them, even if they only play 60 minutes, or miss a few tackles.
No point getting an 80 minute guy that doesn't miss tackles if he still only scores you 30 points a week.

Anthony Milford is averaging over 10 points in negative stats a week - would you discount him as a possible recruit because of it?

Goodwin out with a groin injury, does that see Auva'a finally in a starting line up or still off the bench?

Possibly, he seems to have been re-developed into an impact forward and so Michael Oldfield might go to the centres with Johnston to return on the wing this week.

JDB vs J-Turbs?

yeah this. oldfield will stay in the backline with johnston back, presumably.

Both... but JDB looks to get bigger scores if he remains at lock

@Milchcow talking sense as always

People are just trying to justify their silly trades with straw-clutching statements and analysis. If Cartwright is your biggest problem, you must have an incredible team!

I've got no idea what to do with my side. Any help appreciated.

Smith, Parcell
Woods, JTrbo, Evans, Grant
Gillett, Taupau, Ma'u, Cartwright, Carter, Saifiti
Mbye, Hastings, Taylor, JNiko
Aubbs, Gutherson, Littlejohn, Green
Tedesco, Barba, Mitchell, Scott, Feeney

next to no money in the bank.

OK so my team this coming week will hopefully look like this

Smith (Parcell)
JDB, Surgess
Parker, Whitehead, Taupau (Rochow, Jaifiti, Carter)
Walker, Hastings
Dugan, Hunt
Tedesco, Barba, T-Turbo


*should* be trade free for a few weeks now while I wait for my cows to peak (Hastings & Taylor specifically)

Team for this week (I know my CTRs are weak as).

Smith Garvey
Fifita Woods JTrbo
Parker Surgess Merrin Whitehead Turner/Saifiti
Hastings Walker
Gutherson PMat
Mansour Gordon Mitchell/Barba

So after my PetMat fuck up, I just want him out of my team before he leaks anymore cash.

So are we thinking Hymel Hunt is a potential keeper? And is Dugan potentially back to his fantasy best or is that just chasing last weeks points?

If Avua'a is named in the centres I'd grab him.

Anyone know break-evens for Carter, Cartwright, Kevans, Dugan and RTS?

Trying to figure out if I should trade Kevans or Carter for BLaw

And Aubbs for Dugan, RTS, Hyunt. I hate to go Dugan usually avoid like the bacardi breeezer plague he is but surely he stays at FB from now on?

well that's just great. Hope Cartwright and Carter play or my 2RF is in trouble.

Woods is pissing me off. Plenty of minutes but he's not running hard or offloading cause the captaincy is weighing on him. C'mon man!

Mau didn't do anything. He should be fine. Although he has 'loading'.
