2016 NRL.com Fantasy thread part 35

My ctrs/wfb's

Leilua, Holland, Guth, Benry
Aitken, Radradra, Mitchell, Barba, Hughes

Will look to get Tedesco in later mainly due to price. His current b/e is 81 so I can see him dropping under 400k. I won't probably be able to afford Munster due to price. I feel Tedesco is a better pick anyway & with ET adding the extra attacking dimension this will benefit Tedesco more.

That's a tough one. Mitchell's more likely to get a good score without a try because of all the TB's he can rack up just crabbing across field fending people but because he's inexperienced he's also more error prone. He once scored a 17 with a try and barely got to 40 in a game with a try and two try saves.
Barba on the other hand relies heavily on attacking stats moreso than even Mitchell. Barba's only scored over 40 once without a try, Mitchell's done it twice so not much better but still. Flip of the coin decision really, Barba will go big when the Sharks are on form but even if the Roosters continue sucking Mitchell's one of the few actually putting in effort so he could rack up big scores by virtue of being their only attacking option.

Barba for me. If the Gordon rumours are true it'll make the decision much easier.

For my final 18 I'm looking at

Leilua Harris (if ever DPP, Dugan if not)
Tedesco Munster Mitchell

and Aitken to cover the backline. Have them in place already except Tedesco and Harris/Dugan.

It's from sportingnews I would take it with a grain of salt. They're useless.

So if gordon goes to the Roosters, whats Mitchells FB job security like?

Michael Gordon told me at Sizzlers that he isn't going anywhere.

You liked it so much you had to post twice.

I just did some maths for you. The answer is 1,151. You are welcome.

They basically said last night during the broadcoast that because the game is in a few days, Cronk won't play.personally I'm surprised they didn't go with JT/Morgan combo but whatever

Cronk will play DCE just went as training player

Hopefully Gordon and Paulo both play Monday night otherwise I'm screwed

Cartwright expected to play next week according to the Telecrap

Macca to miss 4-6 weeks with a broken thumb. Worst time of the year for it to happen. Time for Nikorima to step up

Could mean Nikorima's a hold for a little while, if only for me to conserve some trades. Also could mean Bennett's not quite as relaxed about resting all his Origin players.

That means that shit heap Waddell will get another run. McGuire was a better dummy half when playing for Samoa.

Numbers don't always work. I remember the knights doing poorly when the had Craig Gower, Gidley, Mullen, Snowden and Buderus in the one team surely that's a fair few thousand xp there for an ordinary side
