2016 NRL.com Fantasy Thread Part 38

Tongue & cheek before the season started I stated I felt obligated to have Ross in my squad due to his nickname. Of course I didn't but I wish I had of especially since he's moved to ctr & been absolutely killing it.

White Lightning wrote:Any fellow Grant owners thinking of selling. Once again named on bench plus he's carrying injuries so I don't think he'll score that well like round 11. He scores much better when he starts & gets good minutes but loses minutes off the bench. I'm actually selling for Cleary via dpp's.

I have thought about it, trade situation means im forcing myself to hold for a lil longer especially with origin and byes and possible injuries.

Who knows holding all of Grant, Tolman and Fensom for the next month could pay off, or it wont and im in no worse position

Talakai been added now

available at 2RF and CTR $130,000

I might upgrade Whitehead soon. Ok he scored 60 last week but that included a try with line breaks. He's only really a 40-50 scorer especially with Austin back & playing wider. My only hesitation is sometimes during the game he moves to the middle & I can see this happening more & more i.e. Bateman off, Soliola on to 2fr & Whitehead to lock. If he plays half the game at lock he then becomes a 50+ scorer. Have I got this right & if so he can stay in my team.

Cheers mate.

I've stuffed my team up for the byes and still yet to have Smith but I'll just do what I can...

Parcell
Graham, Fifita (JBrom)
Mannering, Surgess, ET (SST, Gillett, Guerra)
Milford, Barba
Croker, Aitken
Radradra, Mansour, Mitchell

Rein, Hughes, CScott, Feeney, 4x NPR

Now if Mitchell doesn't play I will get Rein as my AE.

16 trades left and planning none this week with 163k in bank to bring in CSmith next few weeks for Rein...

Will Hurrell get a run this week? Have him in a draft game and wondering if I should play him.

Lol Brett Stewart is 128k

Sweet. I needed a DPP with CTR/2RF so I could have some flexibility in selling an outside back keeper if they go down and I went with an NPR but with Talaki actually playing might as well get him in. Probably won't make much cash but could play the bye round and be good for 20 or so points.

He isnt even worth 128k. Real life or Fantasy.

Ignore my rant & call me old & a dinosaur if you like & this is not league related at all but I was watching tv & when I see grown men balling their eyes out on a cooking program I feel like vomiting. What has changed over the last 10-20 years that makes it acceptable for a man to cry over any little thing. Sure great personal loss such as losing a loved one or a career/season ending injury is very different but I see it all the time everywhere & I can't understand it at all. That's all haha.

I tentatively went Tolman - Talakai, switched JTurbo into the FR and that allowed me to get Tedesco in for Holland via Gutherson

but I will likely keep Tolman until R18 where he is likely to play massive minutes again

I want to bring Tedesco in but the Tigers have a bye round 15 & he might get picked for origin. I really need a back up hooker so that takes priority anyhow.

Would like him at the Sharks, replacement for Heighnington/Gallen

Nah you're right. Same thing with people breaking down in tears on singing shows getting past the first round. I mean fuck people who win the show don't go anywhere so how can you be so happy to just be semi-famous for another week or two.
Reality garbage is all it is I guess, selling sob stories to suckers. Get people distracted from the real pressing issues in life like economic inequality, environmental destruction and Anthony Griffin's questionable coaching tactics.

That also came into my thinking with the above trade, both miss R15 so I can wait on the trade and hope Tedesco doesn't go bananas again and price him out of my range

To be deleted...

Get Fensom at the Warriors & get rid of Hoffman. Didn't the Warriors make him an offer a couple of years ago but he opted to stay at the Raiders.

He was probably slicing onions.
