2016 NRL.com Fantasy thread part 19

My original trades this week were going to be Evans - BLaw and Green - CLaw

This means holding DCE and Cartwright.

Think I'll still bring in the claw, and will probably hold Cartwright - plan was to hold him until post origin so don't care about short term price drops.
So question becomes DCE - ? or ditch Evans.

I will have to play one of Cartwright, Evans (or Ash Taylor) if I don't trade

Koroibete named but will be suspended.

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

Bellamy saying they are struggling in the backs,with most including those two, unfit.

With korisau taking the 7 jersey, does this make Dylan walker a better prospect at centre? Not sure who will take all those kicking metres

Evans or Grant out for BLaw?

Team looks like this
Garvey(C) / Parcell (R)
Woods / S. Burgess / BLaw/ JTurbo
Taupau / Rochow/ Merrin/ J.Saifiti / Carter / Cartwright
CWalker/ Hastings / Taylor / J.Nikorima
Lawrence / Dugan/ Gutherson / Henry
RTS/ Barba / Tedesco / Mitchell / Feeney

67k in the bank. What does everyone think?
Shall I take a punt on Cartwright since he's been named?

Trade BLaw gives you 15 more points than Kevans. CLaw starting?

I traded Kevand and Maubb to BLaw and Dugan

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.

I saw it too. Said he could maybe push for last week but was more likely for this week

Milchcow wrote:
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.

Could give me a second half in round 12 potentially was the upside I saw

Not sure if this will help you any, but the Roosters play before the Panthers on Sunday, plus ETaylor & Latimore were named on an extended bench. I'll be going with Hastings as my last reserve, because I'll be at work on Sunday and probably won't get a chance to check any late mail before kickoff.

Why trade out Aubusson?
He might get a solid score this week

That's fucking cruel mate
In other news.... Austin and Sezer!!!! My team is back baby!!!!

Though I wouldn't be suprised if Williams doesn't play Mounties and by Saturday we know it's likely to be Sezer and Williams. I'll take it though, keen to see Croker start scoring well with Sezer there

Hey guys, I know it's pretty early, but was wondering if I could get advice for bye planning as I always seem to get it wrong.

So far I have seen people mentioning about forgetting round 12 and concentrating on maximising the rest. My question is, what about focusing on complimentary pairings to ensure you field a minimum of 13 every bye? And forgetting about maximising any individual week?

Anyone else having trouble loading the nrl site?

Are origin tickets on sale yet?

This isn't gospel but someone was suggesting Cartwright may wear a protective thumb shield. Has this happened before and if so how affected player's game?

I wouldn't say it's a long term option, if DCE's back in 3-4 weeks than he'll go back to his regular scores thereafter. Imagine Koro, Walker Lyon & Stewart will share the kicking

I've had my tickets since Feb so I would imagine so mate.

Yeah did a search like I should have originally before asking

Will be my first origin game in Sydney

This is my team for this week:

$53,000 in the bank and 28 trades left after this week. Overall rank is 5047

How am I positioned?

Why hasn't Eloni been added?
