2016 NRL.com Fantasy thread part 19

This is what I got.

Team looks like this... not sure where to go this week.
Smith (C) / Garvey (R)
Woods / S. Burgess / Packer / Evans
Ma'u / Whitehead / Taumalolo / J.Saifiti / Carter / Leuluai
DCE / Hastings / Taylor / J.Nikorima
Lawrence / Aubusson / Gutherson / Henry
Munster / Barba / Tedesco / Mitchell / Feeney

34k in the bank.

Ideas?

Wasn't Munster named and played in the centres round 1? Shouldn't he be DPP

Likelihood of fergs playing origin this year?

Paul Carter 18th man

BLaw starting. Carter dropped.

Just caught up with the thread lads.

With Sezer/Austin I read a couple of days ago that they are potentially pushed back to Round 7 return. Sticky was apparently the source but not saying it is 100%. So there is still a chance Whitehead gets DPP.

Also, with Carty, before he went off with the thumb he was hobbling for a few minutes with what looked like a knee complaint. Not sure if it was mentioned in the coverage. Could have been as simple as a cork, but just mentioning it.

He played in the centres but was not named there.

Koroibete named but will be suspended.

Someone (Are Jeremy Hawkins or Cheyse Blair fit?) will get a run, albeit probably just for 1 week.

J Nik back into the 6 role.

Neither Peats nor Lichaa named.

Anyone know if one or the other likely to be a late inclusion?

I see Javid Bowen is named at Ctr to replace Linnett. How long is Linnett meant to be out for?

Edited: 2 weeks

Ah that's right he was a late inclusion wasn't he? Thanks Cow.

Oh and Sezer/Austion both named, so Whitehead DPP looks unlikely

Would anyone actually move him into the halves though anyway? There are plenty of cheap and gun half options as it is, don't see how moving Whitehead there solves many problems for anyone.

I saw something the other day about Peats possibly playing this week. Can't remember where I saw it though..

Just noticed something.
Elijah Taylor, Gerard Beale and Dean Whare .
Good enough for NZ, not for NRL

Conflicted as to who to bring in for DCE out of Milford and Mbye now with the Raiders naming both their halves to return. I had Mbye mostly for the fact he's got good bye round schedules but he only plays one more game than the Milf who is certain to destroy the Titans.
I don't know though while both are heavily reliant on attacking stats I just feel like Mbye's goal kicking and kick metres means he'll probably be a better scorer on base stats but who knows really.

I saw it too (perhaps you saqw me mentioning it on this forum)

But I am not sure if there was anything to it or if it was just rumour.

Personally I am more interested in Lichaa's return, but I imagine a few people around interested in news of either.

Need some help guys, I wanted to use the first 5 weeks to sort out my team and get rid of the bad cows and bad guns.

This week I have W Graham into HHunt and J Nik into Parcell but with team news changed I'm not so sure. Here is my thinking

Parcell could be a season keeper who's good for 45-55 points per week which I'd be stoked with so I'm not chasing the cash, more so trying to lock in a good player. Also in the same boat with Hunt. I'll need to let J Nik go in a few weeks when Pearce goes and the only reason I'm thinking of doing it this week is the gap between J Nik and Parcell is likely to be extended rather than shorten or am I wrong here?

Also I'm worried now with Gallen back that Graham might become useful again, however he's looking unfit, disinterested and is being used as a decoy runner at the moment.

Would I be better off using these trades elsewhere? Or with my reasoning are the trades alright?

WOW, Sticky making me look like a goose!

Cartwright(who I've decided to hold), has been named, but the Panthere also named an extended bench just in case
