2016 NRL.com Fantasy thread part 27

Any news on TMM, didn't look good from here when he went off

Watching the game (and watching a lot of his off the ball play) and Cartwright has a crap workrate and loves a penalty/missed tackle.
Basically like having a back in your team where you are hoping for a couple good plays.

Merrin looks to have upped his workrate though the problem with him is origin.

With TMM and Grant injured, wouldn't be fantasy without 2-3 injuries every week

Some nice extra points on HT for Carty

Every week the same thing happens. Starts out good then goes downhill from there.

Last week with TMM and all I wanted was him to reach his BE.

+1
At least he's not in my 17.

Nearly threw the R on TMM pre game. Lucky.

Merrin probs plays 80 with the panthers injury problems.

I played TMM in the 17 as opted to wait a week on Hunt and clear my red dots.
Shit happens I guess

I am confused by what youre even referring to here haha

Lewis smashed Moylan, picked up lose ball and got tackled. Lewis plays the ball and Ennis comes running in and shoulders Moylan in the back giving him a mouthful starting a big push and shove but while Ennis is running in Townsend runs from dummyhalf and Peachy catches him strips ball one on one, now at this time 5-6 other plays have come in with Ennis but the ref still hasnt blown the whistle. Peachy runs over and scores a try but the ref is watching the push and shove not the game, now he finally blows whistle and calls time off.

The quickest way to stop all this crap push and shove is to continue playing the game, one ref can make sure no punches are thrown and the other can follow the play. Once teams start taking advantage of stupid defenders running in they will all stop doing it.

who is that doing the half time show with Vossy and Gaz..... on fox

To be fair the play the ball would only happen once the ref blew the whistle for the moylan error, which i dont think he had? Also the play the ball would be taken from the 10metre line? I get what youre saying though. Only noticed it all on the later replays

Penrith Panthers ‏@PenrithPanthers
INJURY UPDATE - Te Maire Martin has a shoulder fracture and will not return #pantherpride

Bird had Mansour's number early, but Peachy is giving him headaches

Oh right, wondered how the week could fuck up the good start... TMM. K

Razzle dazzle lol

Close. Same amount of letters still..

Jayden Berrell
Travis Waddell

Not sure if you're taking the piss but Berrell exists and is a small chance. I think Waddell will probably get the gig but most of the Broncos forum don't rate him and would rather Berrell get a run.

As you said later though, Bennett brought him along from the Knights so he his a coach favorite. I think Kodi will get more minutes than he has been with McCullough, Waddell will be used to take the early sting out of the game, he is pretty solid defensively and has plenty of NRL experience. Kodi can then do what he does best, come on late in the half and tear tired forwards a new one - maybe even play the game out to save an interchange. He can be a bit of a liability himself in defence though.

Taking the piss? No, just pointing out that I think Waddell will get the gig (which he will). Bennett wouldnt bring him along from another club if he had no intention of using him at all.

Waddell was the backup in the trials and the WCC. It will be him as bennett knows what he will get from him.

Fifita tearing it up while I'm tearing up at the fact I took the C off him this week. I even asked in the live chat "Hey CK and AB am I an idiot for sticking with Fifita as a C instead of Smith" but then I'm like fuck it let's play it risky and go Teddy.

Well if you had Captain Cam you wouldnt be second guessing a Captain every week. Your loss.
