2016 NRL.com Fantasy thread part 22

Hope I make the right decision benching Latrell tonight. It was him or Taylor and so I'll wait and see how it goes. Was very tempted to omit CLaw after only 33 with a try but I'll stick with him for this week, I've stuck by a lot of folks this year so going to have to keep that theme going.

Everyone's a bloody comedian. If you could give me Batemans minutes and Hollands score that'd be great though

Wasn;t Bateman dropped after a few games last year? What happened to Barnett? Even started a few games at lock when Fensom was out. Also Jarred Kennedy must be a hell of a long way down the pecking order

Woods to Fensom yay or nay?

After your 60+ prediction for Parker last night I dare say ain't no one banking on your score thoughts!

Who to hold and who to sell? PCarter or Jaifiti

He wasn't dropped for performance. Ricky brought him in for experience and then sent him back to mounties so he could get proper minutes and continue developing. Barnett is good but apparently wild and prone to giving away stupid penalties if he gets carried away. Tried to get released at the start of the year and rumors he wants to be released again to knights. Might be a reason Bateman was picked ahead however I think it's more that Ricky/the club rates Bateman higher and his versatility suits the bench better. Kennedy is rightly well down the pecking order. Good Mounties player and depth though

Fwiw from the two trial games I watched Canberra play Bateman was their best forward

You forgot that I nailed Hollands score. Parker should have scored 60 but he didnt convert as many tries as I thought.

Neither this week if Carter plays. Madge has clearly persisted with him for a reason, seems to be a favourite. Think he's been told if he can shape his shit up he'll secure a fulltime role, otherwise he's gone. If he plays tonight (even off the bench) expect him to go decent. BE of 19 means he's a hold if playing.

So what is happening with that bunnies bench with Carter in there? Whos playing where?

Ah I honestly thought it was due to form. I know he has some massive wraps on him but I doubt he'll get a lot of minutes this week

Should we have an avatar bet on your prediction then? Parker kicked 5/6 last night no? So even if he had of kicked the other he'd still only have scored 50... Your maths may be different to mine but not sure that 50 and 60 are the same.

WHOA!
