2016 NRL.com Fantasy thread part 40

Apparently Parcell and Knight returned to Sydney, while the rest of the Manly squad stayed in Queensland.

Sitting tight is the answer this week I think.

Mitchell to Tedesco - can't afford it.
Napa to Fifita can't afford it.

I have to hope Tedesco falls short of his BE to level the playing field next week money wise. Assuming Parcell , Munster, Smith, Talakai play I will have 16.

Could be a painful week.

Parcell cause he is injured, and Knight because he was fucking terrible haha.

At least it's good that it looks like we know alrady Parcell not playing. Sucks Friend has a bye this week, would have been the perfect time to trade.

Hopefully Smith plays so I don't have to trade Parcell this week. Team for the week with no trades made stands as:

Smith
Fifita, Graham, Surgess, Trobjevic
Mannering, Merrin, JDB, Whitehead
Johnson Cleary
BJ Croker Dugan
Tedesco Munster Barba

Doubts over Dugan, Munster but looking like a strong 17 for the week. Parcell, Radradra and SST sitting down after good efforts last week.

Thoughts on Parcell to Peter Wallace for rounds 16-19 then pick up the best hooker on form after that? Other hooker is Smith. Would be one extra trade compared to original Parcell to Friend trade but going a bit cold on a 65-minute Friend as being second best hooker for the run-in anyway.

Actually thought about this myself. Even thinking Luke potentially.

Knight broke his ankle in his first tackle.
Probably explains his piss poor performance to some degree.

What would be the chances of putting a member from here through whatever training you give to your stats guys? It would be a great way to stop some of the whinging about it being so subjective if one of us was able to explain some of the reasoning.

It would have to be someone from QLD then as we all know blokes from NSW can't count past 1.

Shit, I take that back then lol. Didn't even notice.

What are the current thoughts on Whitehead as a keeper?

I'm toying with the idea of Mitchell to Tedesco and Whitehead to RJames

Only 7 trades left tho so I'm possibly just going to have to lump it with no James

(Potentially need a few trades in hand for Semi/Parcell)

Weidler "reporting" that "Semi's sister" has said he will be going to play french rugby after round 17.

Note: Weidler may be making shit up (no rly) and Semi's sister may just be a random female stranger that he met on the streets of Fiji.

Wish Eels played this week and we had some more concrete info as I'd cash him out this week if he's gone.

Hearing that Semi is gone and it's a done deal now.

Semi ---> Tedesco.

I don't know where all this current talk of Whitehead not being a keeper is coming from. Hasn't been in good form recently but he's the 9th best scoring player in all of Fantasy. Still seems good to me but James is very tempting

if Parcell and Munster is ruled out, all of a sudden my team is looking super flakey for this round

Semi ---> Tedesco.

Fullbacks generally score poorly against the Storm. Didnt Tedesco only score 30 something last time he played them? Then again I will probably also take a hit on his BE and take the points.

Doesn't actually confirm anything, but whatever.

Second attempt at using that joke and you're still hearing crickets

With Semi gone I reckon Semi to B Moz will be a popular trade this week.

SEMI Radradra will reportedly leave the NRL after round 17 to take up a nine-month contract in French rugby union.

As first revealed by the RLW Mole last weekend, Radradra and his management have been in negotiations with French rugby union for a number of weeks now and an arrangement has been reached.

Radradra’s elder sister, Vaseva Waqavatu, has told the Fiji Times that the Parramatta winger would return for the Eels’ game against Cronulla before heading to rugby for personal reasons.

“Semi had discussed his move with my parents and we are supporting him 100 per cent,” Waqavatu told AAP.

The Eels are yet to comment on the latest reports but are expected to release a statement shortly
