2016 NRL.com Fantasy Thread Part 39

918 and sitting at 1782, which included Barba, Surgess and Aitken. Had Holland and Cleary as NPR too and both were my two highest scorers on the bench.

Was outside the top 5000 just two weeks ago, so happy but am fucked next week with numbers.

839 pending updates including absolute stinkers from Surgess, Mitchell and Barba and also Harris and bromwich to a lesser extent

Got a 955 this week pending updates :-) pretty happy with that.

875 this week for me pre-updates and it is solid enough to pick up 400 spots. Still hoping to crack Top 1000 for the year but not really sure how I am set up for this next week.

Talk about a spread of points - this week I had:
1 in the 10s
2 in the 20s
3 in the 30s
4 in the 40s
3 in the 50s
2 in the 60s
1 in the 70s
1 in the 80s

Damn, Walker still the utility, just......wow.

Manly gonna struggle again. Kapow to number 6 hahaha.

How many players people got for next week. If Mitchell plays I have 12 pre any trades.

Haha, similar here Soylent. I nearly Captained Bhunt after his horrible score last week hoping for a massive rebound against the Raiders; thank fuck I changed to Cam last minute.

13 pre trades. I resisted trading this week even though it went against my bye planning strategy, so will probably use 3 of my 13 left to give me 16.

Yeah I didn't trade this week either but only have 10 left. I'm happy to do 3 trades if ican pick up two keepers this week.

Who you looking to bring in?

Friend (c)
Surgess (vc)
Harris, Taupau
Taylor
Gutherson, Aitken
Munster, Semi, Mitchell

I've still got Hymel Hunt hanging out on the sidelines so might cash him out this round for someone like Hurrell or French.

I'm in the same boat as you, 12 pre trades if Mitchell plays.

I don't mind who makes up that 12 though at this stage, its not spectacular but it should run up a few points at least.

Parcell
JDB, Surgess
Harris, Finucane, Mau, Talaki
Norman, Johnson
-
Aitken, Guth, Mitchell.

I should have 17 this week if team lists go well and make a trade or two.

I was thinking that Barba could be a trade this week but just checked on their run home. Fuck there's some points in there for him!

Looking at BLaw for KEvans (only if named at Lock again) and purely for bye planning. Grant has to go but not sure for who for yet. If there is reasonable chat of Holland losing his spot due to Borris back then I will probably cash out Holland for a nuffie. My head hurts from this round and have just now realised it's going to hurt even more working round the next 4 weeks.

Opacic to debut for Broncos.

Defensive centre, without much toe or attacking flair but should get through a decent amount of tackles.

Could get a decent run in the team, Reed and Kahu are both out, plus the former is not guaranteed to make it back into the side.

How do you trade out a bloke who just scored 61 based on some chatter?

Tough call.

Thought this might happen. His name was thrown around a fair bit pre season and he played Nines (or trials maybe?). Eden has officially signed with Cas as well so may not play again this year? I use the word "play" loosely as the bloke contributes about as much as a spectator.

7 for Round 15 at this stage lol. Guess it's the price you pay for having 15 in Round 12. Can get about 2 more players in to just mitigate the damage done to my ranking but will think about that one.

Rein, J Turbo, Bodene, Talaki, Gutherson, Munster, Mitchell
