2016 NRL.com Fantasy Thread Part 33

Does anyone know anything about Asiata's supposed injury. He was set to play for Samoa and was interviewed a couple of hours before kick off and he was still playing then. WTF happened to him in warm up?

Doesn't E. Lowe goalkick when JT plays origin. Atm he's at 390k with a b/e of 56 so he could be an option next week. Could possibly be cheaper as well.

Wondering about DCE again, I mean he is averaging just under 50 playing crap.
Cheaper than Hunt too by a bit too. Trying to think outside the box but could just go the safe option

1.3 mil sitting on the bench with jdb fensom and hastings. When will the official origin team lists be posted? I need to know for sure whats going on with ferguson. with him and hastings likely to be out my rounds 15/18 are gonna be piss weak.

Yep, Lowe does all the goal kicking. If JT gets rested more that will help him. Been so frustrating watching the Cows go to Coopers side every fucking time. Lowe is a gun but they just choose not to go to that side. Had him since round 2 and hoping for a bounce back with him soon.

Bye hastings, hello milf

I had E. Lowe last year & he was a nightmare late season. All of a sudden around origin time they started hitting Cooper's edge & Lowe was starved of attacking chances.

Yep, same the last few weeks.  I didn't start with him this year due to that exact reason, but got suckered in by his first round 85 score.  Not his fault, the guy is a gun, almost breaks a line everytime, as you say, just doesn't seem many opportunities, and when they do go that side, Morgan ends up dummying and going himself.  I'll keep him all year though, I really like him as a player.

So close to doing this. It's between him, Hunt or Semi.

Could be worse, I've got Taupau, Fensom, Hastings and Teddy = $1.7m

Assuming JSaifiti doesn't play this week I'm down to 17 players

hate having to choose who to play out of:
ctrs: aubbs, holland, auva'a & gutherson
wfbs: mansour, barba, munster, mitchell.

ctrs are a lottery. potentially going to throw auva'a in and hope he can pick up a meat pie tonight and bust a 45 to 50

I was looking at Lowe today, and also for the exact reason regarding goal kicking. However Feldt can kick them too cant he?

Already got hunt. Semi can come in next week.

Actually just checked be's Semi may be better this week.....?

Hunt or DCE?

I think he does. He does the kick offs & they use him as a long range kicker I think. Lowe is a very good kicker as well from memory.

I'm expecting Mansour to have a big game considering he's rumored to be in the SOO team. Expecting no less than 50.

Late mail from SCTalk regarding tonights game.

Rabbitohs expected to be 1-17 but its expected Walker will play 5/8 in defence with Inglis moving to centre Goodwin to wing and Johnston defending at FB and whilst Walker will play Fullback in attack with Johnston moving back to wing. Clark is expected to play after training mid-week with head heavily strapped up after getting 26 stitches in head cut last weekend. Dragons also expected to be 1-17 but don’t be surprised is Packer drops back to bench with Matthews starting, if this happens Matthews/Marketo would start on edges with Frizell moving to lock role like he did last week

I read somewhere that Mary confirmed M. Cooper will be starting lock until JDB returns. I much rather see him in the front row as imo he scores better at prop.

Having the same conundrum. One thing is how will Ben Hunt score once half his team is out for origin?
Less attacking plays, more tackles and kick metres?
