2016 NRL.com Fantasy thread part 22

P.S. @Bren, I'm hoping your sarcasm radar is on mate, I'm just taking the piss, having a bit of friendly banter! You know I love ya work mate!

@Mearcats - My research has been watching the previously mentioned players (Holland and Bowen) in lower grades and looking at the stats from those games. Parkers average verse the Dragons is 55 or so isnt it? And after Milford and Roberts recent form and the Dragons poor form I expected the Broncos to run riot and put on a cricket score therefore Parker making more conversions. I was wrong about Parker but spot on with Holland and Bowen, 2/3 aint bad wouldnt you say?

Turner -> Fensom

Carter and Saifiti sitting on my bench but still got potential to make decent coin. Bit worried about Turner every time he goes down (precautionary or not)

Carter lives to fight another day.....

Yes bro! Made that exact trade this week. Turner made 80k so not too bad

I haven't seen it mentioned yet but the Brisbane "Rat" has been named by Fox as Josh McGuire. Just though Cuban would like to know

I think Cuban would be more concerned about the way you have spelt his username.

Yeah mate, two outta three ain't bad at all. I'll give you that. But watching a player in lower grades and thinking that that is sound research as to how they will go in A grade is like taking a girl home when ya drunk al la Honeysett. You may think she's a 10 but in the morning you wake up next to her and realize that your judgment was severely impaired, you've bought home a dogs breakfast and now you're contemplating chewing your own arm off to get outta your own house just so you don't needa deal with it!

My point is that they are completely different competitions and regardless of a players individual capabilities, in no way should one attemp to justify how a player goes in ressies as to how they will perform in A grade.

What's the upgrade? Can it wait a week. It's premature trading either out this week now that Carter is playing but if it's a necessity then trade Carter. I'd be holding them both for the week a) to see what happens with Carter and get the cash and b) to see what sort of minutes Jaifiti gets and whether he is used off the bench even with Rochows injury.

Ahhhhhh. Damn your logic. Cold feet now. Maybe I keep both!

I think taking a stab at scores is a little bit of fun, nothing more. Nobody would dare take my Fantasy advice anyway so I dont think there is a worry of anything I say having an impact on anyones Fantasy side

If someone does take my advice or comments about Fantasy seriously they need to look at my shit ranking and think otherwise.

So am I making the right decision picking Ash Taylor for the R over Latrell Mitchell? I feel a Roosters bounceback but I also feel like Taylor's a really solid option

Hahaha, and TBH @Bren, it's all a bit of fun and it's good to keep it light-hearted which is exactly why I started ragging on you in the first place mate! Nothing like a bit of friendly banter to give someone a few Friday lolz!

Nope. Not changing my mind after four bourbons. (fucking hot cause my kids tipped out all ice). Auva'a or holland in my startup quick

Plus it's Friday afternoon, I'm back in China and bored outta my brains at work... So it was either that or start on consuming copious amounts of alcohol again... Didn't seem like the brightest idea with no food down my gullet yet.

I've been on the edge of my seat all afternoon. Gracias gringo.

Just be careful of 'bembelequero' - a saying we have in Cuba regarding gossip.

I've just poured my first glass of Jack Daniels Tennessee Fire. This will be a better game than people are expecting. Certainly better than last nights bludger. As we say here in Cuba - quémalo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
