2016 NRL.com Fantasy thread part 22

Talking about consistency and SJ has only scored below 58 once this year. That was a 39 in round 2 vs the Broncos.

Most big updates are kick diffusals and try saves.

Dugan got two try saves
Rein got one.

Also watching the game there was two times J Roberts broke two tackles without being credited them. So 4 tackle breaks missed = 12 points.

These updates look accurate.

Yeah but they have played the Tigers, Knights and Roosters where he scored tries against each. Think he has some bad games to come before Origin and hopefully will be prime for the picking.
Personally think he will average 45 until origin hits. Manly, Bulldogs, Storm, Dragons, Panthers and Raiders.

Euan Aitken or Semi for the byes?

Considering the Warriors play all those games in NZ, except the Storm, I think he can average 55 easy.

SJ might be the first player to crack 100 this year vs the Dragons...

looks like lawrence is starting and carter is on the bench for the rabbits.

which of these to would be better to put as a reserve?

Not saying he can't, its just with a half its not always reliant on how talented the player themselves are, its how well the team is going. In saying that the Warriors are better at home but I'm still wary.
Warriors historically struggle against Manly (get on Brett Stewart to score a try), Bulldogs will be too powerful upfront, Storm at home (probably the game where SJ goes off), Dragons are a defensive side (not last two weeks),
and Panthers and Raiders maybe too good for the Warriors. Should go off against origin depleted teams though!

Lawrence against the Warriors will break tackles and not miss many, Aubo didn't miss one tackle against the Warriors last week and he was missing about 3 a game before that

Regarding Bateman, Isn't Ricky one of those coaches who will sometimes leave a player on the bench and not play him?

Mate come on!! Where is your love for the Warriors haha

I dont agree with the comment with halves its about how the team is going. EG Hayne when he was playing either FB or the halves, he was one of the games best players in real life, and also Fantasy.

When he dies it's often baptiste, giving Hodgson 80.

Canberra have had an injury pretty much every week this year though, so all subs have been getting game time.

Come on mate.....

Not many of us here listen to WW at all.....

Tell ya what, I'm glad Souths are playing tonight regarding Carter. Hoping he starts..

*Clutches at straws**

@Milchow

I just noticed something looks at the BE's, most notably with Blaw

It says if he gets his 2016 average, he goes up 18060, but if he gets his 3 game average he goes up 18058.

Both averages are the same, 40.7

Nothing major of course, but is it a glitch, or is it because of something else? Magic number?

Yeah, depending on Cody Walker news next week think I will get Fensom via Jack Littlejohn and Ben Henry. Can't rely on picking a keeper half at this stage, may just wait for Johnson/DCE round 13.
So hard to pick a consistent half at this stage of the year but if Ben Hunt comes good (don't think he will, just looks like Milford is getting a lot more touches this year and doing long range kicking).
Has scored tries etc to bump his average to 50, but normally these try scoring games would be 65+ games for him.

Mbye and Hastings are the best bye round options in the halves... bring in the guns after origin

Warriors wrote:Euan Aitken or Semi for the byes?

Aitken looking the better option at the moment, but Semi is still dropping in price and will go well if the Eels get their attack together

Another thing to consider with Semi is if Jennings plays Origin (Which he should) then maybe they might shift Taka back to the left side and one thing he did well was feeding Semi the ball when he needed it so if that happens his attacking stats could see a renewal.
Otherwise though I'd back Aitken for more consistent scores.
