2016 NRL.com Fantasy thread part 30

What to do with D Walker? Trade fail. Just sitting in my NPRs at the mo. Rage trade or just let him sit there and hope for some form down the track?

Feeney to Lamb might be a go in a fortnight. Or just accept Feeney as a dud and soldier on and conserve trades.

Got some nice price increases this week, 8.765mil + 385k in the bank.
Puts my team value at 9.150mil overall.

Wish I had that much money in the bank in real life

Jesus mate that's a huge team value. Mines about 8.8 mill.

The weekly winners team value this week was 7.5 lol.... Craziness

Is Munster worth the price tag of 439K? Those 68 points just came too easily for him.

A Taylor + D Walker to B Lamb and S Johnson?

I don't know about the halves this year, seem very up and down and the gun halves only score well when they score tries.
Johnson, Hunt, Mybe and Milford only seem to score over 50 when they score a try themselves or have at least two try assists They all just seem to miss heaps of tackles which screws their scores.
A Reynolds is in a struggling Rabbitohs side at present.
Norman looks the goods but could revert back to 40 average like previous years if Foran comes back. Hastings has lost kick metres to Pearce but gained goalkicking points with the calvary back.

To me, I seriously reckon if you want a gun half for the rest of the year get DCE in round 13. Should be the highest scoring half come the end of the year.
If Brock Lamb continues to kick 400m a game then yeah he is a must have.

Interesting point.
I'm up/downgrading TMM and Taylor this round.
Lamb is my downgrade, however upgrade is stil undecided.
I already have Hunt and Mbye.
Presently Johnson and DCE are front runners.
I would be interested to see what people think are the top 4 halves to have for the rest of the year.

Id go Hunt, Johnson, DCE and Milford/Adam Reynolds.
I've left out Thurston due to Origin.

how long is mullen or whoever was the knights other half out for?

I have run out of patience with Mansour, time for him to go. Would you guys go Aitken or Radradra?

Probably rankin if teddy out for a while should make some good money and good scores then upgrade to keeper after round 13 when both have had there byes and you have more to go on.

The above was more tongue and cheek but actually not a bad idea if you are game.

8 weeks

Brock lamb is a must buy for the next round.

Can I get a BE on B Law? Please and thank you.

This Brock Lamb looks like a good cash cow. Good old Mullen and his Wolverine healing factor is only a slight concern, Lamb will do his job as a money maker.

My team stinks. Anyone want to comment on my proposed trades?

Taylor > Lamb
I'm happy with this as I have 3 decent(ish) halves in Hunt, Mbye and Hastings so if he kills off a spot in a month or two I'm not worried.

My other options to choose from are:

Red dot forward > Vaughan
Kata > CLaw
HHunt > Munster
??? something else?

I'm leaning towards the Vaughan in trade because I'm severely lacking depth in my forwards. Injuries meant I had to have Bhana and Packer on my field this week.

But I also need to do a clean out of my backs, but I'm not sure if it's trade rage or logical. Other than Gordon, they all had an average of around 40, but all scored under 20 this week.

Does anyone know the deal with why Kata's scores have dropped so much recently, other than just because he is an inconsistent Warrior? He had a 4 game stretch where his scores were 48, 48, 50, 50, so I thought I was onto a winner. But he hasn't scored over 31 since.
If Kata's going to go, he needs to go soon, though. He lost me 20k this week, and I don't know his current BE but I would guess if would be around 60?

Any thoughts on what I should do?

I am going to put my feet up for a week and not worry about trades until after rep weekend when the team lists are announced.

Bound to be an injury or 2 and the week off gives extra recovery time for those who already are

Can just enjoy the week off Fantasy as there won't be another one for a while

Yeah me too. Will be good to have a weeks break. My last few trades ive made have turned out to be poor so time to regroup!

Take a week off fantasy. Pull the other one haha. You are both addicts & won't last a week.

Got 972 this week.

Pretty happy with that!

Would of beaten everyone in L7 this week, except of course, I vsed the only guy who scored higher than me.
