2016 NRL.com Fantasy thread part 31

Barba is expendable this week (BE 48 but vs Knights) or next, just can't cop 20s any more.

Mitchell is expendable leading into R12, but if he somehow survives that then he's keepable from R13 onwards.

Is this Junior Paulo news new? Could it mean he misses the next game? - its the stuff about him getting caught playing 3rd Div Rugby the day after an Eels match.

EDIT: Ah sorry, I see they are chatting about it on the Eels "how many points will they lose" thread.

well JDB -> james graham seems like a no-brainer.

got 180k in the bank left to do whatever i want with a second trade. this is the problem.

Newcastle looking to extend Lamb's contract with them. Looks like he will definitely keep that spot while Mullen is out.

Bloody Peats. I was looking forward to possibly having no donuts at all over Origin period.

Anyone noticed Euan Aitken's -5 from Rnd 7 has been swapped in order with his 56 from Rnd 6???
So it lists his last 2 games as 56 and 54.
Would this effect his BE at all seeing as its weighted towards the most recent performances?
Just wondering why a guy who had -5 only has a BE of 44 this week.

***Conspiracy Theory***
Someone controlling the stats has him in his team and doesnt want him to lose much money?

Question: Do people see Mitchell and/or Barba as potential keepers?

I think they will both be keepers in the long run. I am not holding barba though, I think he will fluctuate between 20-30 without a try and 40-50 with a try all season.
My nerves just can't handle watching him score all his points in one run. I will upgrade him to Teddy when he returns, giving me Teddy, Munster and Mitchell as my final 3.
Mitchell I expect to pick up with Pearce and his forward pack back. He is also one of those players who is continually probing the defensive line with palms and will continue to rack up tacklebreaks. He averages 39 points for games at FB without tries this season, and i think he will start to become more involved in set plays from here. I'm banking on him becoming a massive keeper from here on out (which is why I have decided to keep him).

What's everyone doing with Gordon and Mansour? Trade 'em or just keep em? My heads seriously messing me with these two.

With all my npr's being red dots I'm thinking of using the loophole this week. Which option:
(a) Surgess vc & CS9 c
(b) CS9 vc & B. Hunt c

Thanks.

My guess is that if you go the latter option you will more than likely be forced to use the loophole cause if Cam gets 60+ (likely) then you'll want to bank it right?

The former option though means you can take a risk free punt on Surgess who could have had some really big games recently if not for very low scoring final 15-20minutes, and worst case you get Cam anyway.

Does my logic make sense? haha, hope so.

Interested to see if it works

Where are you seeing that? On mobile his score history looks fine. In any case I think it's just an error in displaying the scores.

I calculate his BE as 44 too, using scores as normal

On my PC using Chrome it is listed as Rounds 7,6,9 (deleted cache/history etc)
But i just checked my mobile and its as per normal 6,7,9
Hopefully only a false alarm.

Haven't they changed it so you can't do the Captain's Loophole anymore in this game?

If you have 17 or less you're supposed to be able to make your captain npr if say he gets injured

Only possible on PC. I did last season during byes after fanhub acknowledged it was possible with 17 and under

Not sure you could do it with CS9 if Parcell was reserve?

Twitter telling me Peats and manager spotted at Auckland airport. The plot thickens.

What twitter?

That guy who tweeted the Mole? Hope it's better source than that

Ah, just some random Warriors fan... probably nothing.

Warriors have the same crappy byes as the Titans so it doesn't matter.
