2016 NRL.com Fantasy Thread Part 39

908 for the round and into the top 100 for the first time, Cleary and Norman as NPR hurts considering how tight it is at the moment.

Why the fuck did Parcell drop 2K when he beat his break even?  Wasn't his BE 31?

Smith dropped 2K too.

Fuck, Cleary up 56K! That's gotta be close to a record.

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.

Sounds like a good downgrade option next week. DP too.

After downgrades I ended up with 843 this week. Somehow managed to gain 15 points on 2nd so in an alright position leading into the bye week. I have 11 or possibly 12 if Hastings plays before trades.

Snuck into the top 500 for the first time this year. Not bad considering all the players I trade out are scoring more then the players I traded in their place.

The two players I was looking to trade out this week score a 59 (Claw) and a 64 (Holland). Couldn't have made it any more difficult. What the fuck to do.

Nice one.

I'm hot on your tail at 136!

Gained a few hundred spots with 876, to 1544th. I'll have 13 this week for potentially 550 - 600. Will leave 12 trades. How's everyone else looking?

So at the last minute I backed out of trading in Tedesco last week. Thinking I might go Mansour - Munster this week instead.

Any chance DCE makes a return this week? I know there were some rumours floated last week that he may be fit but didn't hear anything more concrete than that

i ended up this week with 1022 and moved up 1,354 places to 1017th.
Most disappointing this week were my usually most reliable players of Surgess, Whitehead & Bromwich. And that i had Cleary as NPR !!

So when will Holland be getting dropped? When is Bmoz due back? I thought I saw something about him spending time in ressies to get some match fitness?

Last I heard he was due back round 16.
I doubt Bmoz is the kinda guy who needs a run in reserve grade for match fitness, sounds like a dessie smokescreen to me.

The question marks over Holland is a real mindfuck this week. To trade or not to trade.

Great score quicksand.

Imagine what you could have got if Surgess maanged to pump something decent out

The mid year controversial  trade master, @SI, may have convinced me to pull the trigger this week regardless.

2 trades this week are
grant - JHW
holland - mannering

will bring in tedesco and BJ next week what will give me 4 trades left for the run home.

My final team dissapointed i wont be able to get gallen, fifita and JDB

Smith parcell
surgess bromwich graham JHW
mannering harris whitehead taupau taylor SST
DCE reynolds cleary feeney
aitken BJ nuffie nuffie
munster tedesco mitchell nuffie nuffie

Who are people looking at this week for the VC loophole?

I'm leaning towards Norman at this stage, would throw it on Johnson in a heartbeat but he plays at the same time as Mannering(c) and i don't think i trust anyone else as much as Mannering.

Captaining Mannering. Might shove the loophole on Munster.

Break Evens for this week.

The official NRL ones will be a little bit optimistic due to them not catering for the origin effect, which i have tried to include in my calcs.
