2016 NRL.com Fantasy thread part 41

My boy Bmoz is back! Ive had him in my squad for the past few years so might have to trade him in for Barba. Have him in Ultimate but didnt play him this week

Daniel Saifiti just keeps trucking along!

Nice!

In regards to POD, does Ed Murphy and Toutai count?

Hey guys, i have been lurking around this forum for a small bit and i need some help regarding the captain loophole, here is my team:



I have R.James as my C with Mannering as my VC, i think i want to play it safe and loophole Mannering in as captain, is it as simple as subbing James out for J.Bromwich?

will work provided chee kam doesnt play, if he plays you cop the lowest score which may be his

Swap James for Bromwich, then put the R on Chee-Kam (just in case he is a late inclusion).

In the unlikely even that Munster, Chee-Kam and Addo-Carr all play, you won't get James score because you'll have 17 scorers and won't need an AE. I am not sure this is something you'll actually have to worry about, but just be aware of the minute potential for a backfire.

After swapping James and JBrom, he'll only have 3 reserves. So make Chee-Kam 4th reserve and things are OK.

Surgess     76
Fifita          74
Aitken        71
Mannering  70
Merrin        70
Johnson      64
Cartwright   63
Cleary         61
Graham       60










Barba   20












Lolohea 7


Fuck you McFadden, can forgive barba as he was close to a couple tries which would have resulted in a decent score, but can't forgive benching a player for 70mins who was in decent form for Jono Wright

Any update on Munster?

Right you are, easy to forget about replacing the extra R on someone else.

Like many of us I've had a monster start to the week with an average of 64 from 11 players. I would love munster or a sneaky bowen to play, otherwise I have no wfbs this week.

At least I have a little comfort with barba's low score, just need james to have a quiet one too Seriously though, please no more tries

(vc) Surgess
(c) Fifita

I ain't even mad.

So i am gambling on Both Addo-Carr and Bowen not playing, right?

Yep. The loophole isn't tricky to work out. He's also lucky Munster/MKC/JAC all playing in the same game, although just playing before.

Bowen played QLD Cup yesterday I believe. But if you are worried, sub Addo-Carr out for Bowen after tigers team lists come out.

You just need at least one of your 17 not to play (so you get an AE)
And no one except James outside your 17 to play (so the AE is James)

Barba - Bmoz next week. Will hopefully be a great POD like a year or two ago.

Massive shoutout to @Random and @Honeysett. New forum banner looks great!

#Queenslander

(For those of you who don't know Random + Honeysett had an origin forum bet where the winner gets to run with a state inspired banner till the end of rd 26 [timeframe might only be a few weeks or something though?] Anyway, good stuff Honeysett on following through on his end of the bargain).

Am I the only person thinking of keeping Barba? I mean he relies on attacking stats and was unlucky not to get them in that game.

Yeah the time frame will roughly be around until a week after Origin 3. Put that down to SI being soft and not wanting to hurt any Blue's supporters feelings.

Thanks for the help with the Loophole, It seems very confusing until you get your head around it. Now lets wait for the R.James 100+ pointer again

@Random

Have any tricks up your sleeve? Looks like I have you covered this week...
