2016 NRL.com Fantasy thread part 28

Need help with last 2 reserves
Option 1
Parcell + BLaw (if Parcell is a late withdrawal then I am stuck with an AE or Kennar)

Option 2
Parcell + Bhana (if Parcell is a late withdrawal then I slot BLaw in)

Points wise Parcell + BLaw is better, but what is the likelihood of Parcell withdrawing?

Reading between the lines and listening to Allen Mac, while media weren't allowed to attend any more than the warm-ups today, thoughts are that Luke may not start, probably Jazz will get the nod there, and Gubb may drop back to the bench. Not sure who would replace him though, Vete or Lane maybe? All guess work, but things are likely to change a bit by the sounds. Happy was on the radio suggesting something similar too.

Also on the news tonight in NZ it was said that there is about 7 players just not putting in for the warriors. From this I read between the lines and some senior players maybe taking a week in nsw cup. They also said matulino and vatuvei trained with the nsw cup side for the whole training so thinking they might be the ones to be punished. Hope no1 has matulino

@ wackos - reports that Matulino & Vatuvai trained with reserve grade today. That is extreme man!

Hope Chee Kam takes claw minutes, claw has been way too good for him this year and hasn't even been injured yet

FFS !!!   I brought Matulino in to have someone podish and set forget etc. Anymore unicorns around.....

Wow, interesting. Well if thats the case then I reckon Luke probably knows he is being dropped and has decided the best way to deal with that is to come out on the front foot, be honest, admit he's been crap, say he shouldn't be picked (for the Kiwis) and then he won't have the media on his back when it happens...

I wonder who the other 4 are?? To be fair theres not that many in the squad who have been putting in....

WTF IS THAT.

Go looking at buying some gear and through my searching that comes up.

Not sure if I just lost respect for Penrith's marketing or their fans.

Parcell is definetly playing, whether he lasts the game is another story. I will be reserving him over holland this week. Just don't see the matchup with Mau, Jennings and semi very favourable for him

I hope he takes Sirro's minutes, all 80 of them because he is shite. The Claw has been the best of a very ordinary pack this year

He just posted that it was punishment for missing a meeting apparently so you can relax all owners.

Damn, I was just about to ask if anyone had heard the rumour about Matulino. A mate of mine has him and just asked. I told him that I doubt they could afford to drop Matulino with the likes of Gubb, Vete and Lane in the 17 and no Mannering..

Hard to say for certain but assuming Soli and Lima are back, Soli probably slots in to 2nd row in Papa's absence and Bateman comes into the squad.

Priest didn't even have a raiders contract before last week (was contracted to mounties, the ressies squad) but had apparently been training a bit with the firsts. Ricky mentioned in the presser that he hasn't been happy with our pack for a couple of weeks and Priest was obviously a reaction to that whilst having injuries to Soli and Lima. If he drops someone again whilst Papa is out injured then I guess Priest is a likely candidate but unless you are really ballsy, I'd assume he's temporary.

I may have mis-read the other day, but was someone pointing out a loop-hole with fantasy whereby if you name a C and VC, and ur VC (e.g. Tedesco) plays first, if they score really well you can then sub out your C, pop them in reserves post the first match and your VC will then count as your C? If so does that mean the guy you originally had as you C, say Cam Smith, will still count as a score in your 17?

Or have I completely misread what was being said the other day?

Archer wrote:Ok peoples I need your help, by your powers combined....
So, trading out Grevs to a FR cow who plays Rd 12 (the more certain he is of scoring and the better his score the better obviously).
Which of the following should I go, or is there another I'm not considering but should:
P.Kaufusi
Ofahengaue

Or, since I don't need a HEAP of cash just yet, should I look at someone like Jarrad Wallace or Blair so that I get a few more points at the cost of having to upgrade/downgrade him again later


Wow, there really is phuck all options

Edit: Might add other options here as I think of them (If there are any) in case others are in the same boat.

Bumping this cause I'm really struggling this week

only two gnomes on the rebel sport site.

Attention all James Graham owners - I am trading him into my side this week. I apologize in advance. All Tolman owners, you are welcome.

Ok. What's wrong with my trades?

Garvey->Hodgson
Pat Mat->Kennar

Is Bhana a good downgrade for Saifiti?

and there is no way any coach would drop Vatuvei until he's 40.
Fan uproar would probably reach lynching levels.
