2016 NRL.com Fantasy pre-thread Part 20

This could mean Saifiti has the starting second row spot over Rochow when sims comes back next week. Rochow won't see 80 today is my bet.

Looking now to change the reserves off Rochow. He only scores abt 40's in 80 minutes of football, what can he get in only 40-50 mins?

In pure footy terms i think saifiti has been one of the knights best forwards so far this year. I wont be surprised if he keeps his spot

Doesnt he have to be named in that position on tuesday as well?

80 minutes on the edge and 55 in the middle will produce about the same score. Sit tight and assess next week

Yeah, I didnt really want to get rid of him, as ive had him the last couple of seasons, and he was pretty much 100% reliable for a 45+ every round. As ive read on here and seen from watching, he just doesnt seem interested. And I think with Gal back in the team he may do less?

Didnt catch mondays game but from the others I've seen it isn't really a lack of effort, more lack of opportunity. He generally does enough work for an edge forward with tackles and metres to get solid base stats but his biggest strength has always been his ball playing ability and apparent football smarts compared to more ome dimensional edge forwards. He used to be take the defence on near the line, ran smart lines and was always looking for smart opportnuities to keep the ball alive. This year he appears to be used more as a decoy runner by Maloney so whether that is a genuine tactic they are running or just lack of a combo with his playmaker we will hopefully see in the next few games

suprisingly enough, this is the 1st time he's actually been named at centre on final team lists, so another 3 after this i would think

Finally get to see Kennar with a green dot.
Who to fill last reserve spot out of him or JNik - yes my reserves are that desparate...

Just noticed I had him as an NPR in Fantasy, but had other options in VSDT, so put the R on Tim Grant instead (hopefully he is over his head knock from last week).

Oh FFS Bellamy. Can't wait for another 20 from Harris.

Hate the DPP rules when Harris has played in that position for 3 weeks and still barely qualifies for CTR position
You would think the final team list would count towards this

I don't understand the gripe with Harris playing centre? He did it all last year as well and he was DPP then. A great reason to avoid. I hope he goes alright for his owners, but really? He'll probably out score Burgess though

I only have Harris after selecting him in a draft game (Ultimate League) so getting DP status would definitely come in handy.

According to Lone Scout they're counting a few of the games Tohu shifted to CTR at as part of his 4 games required and he's only down to 1 or 2 more games. If he does get it and the backline starts making sense again I think he'll be a good pickup but also looks like he could become Aubusson-lite

This year it would be great to have him in CTR, well as an upgraded CLaw or Aubbo

But I am looking more at buying a bottomed out JBird and perhaps Aitken (for origin byes) so maybe Harris with DPP isn't all it's cracked up to be if he is mainly playing CTR

How annoying is it that you cant watch the footy in full screen on PC with the Digital Pass...

My ranking wasn't good to start the week but having only 2 players play so far I'm now ranked outside the top 30k...... Got the C on cam so let's do this. Would love anything above 55.




By the way Evans or TMM for final R

I traded Evans out this week so expect him to score 45 or so like we had all originally hoped.

Biggie from Munster I hope

wow, ugly start to the game (all from players i own too)
