2016 NRL.com Fantasy thread part 42

I'd be very surprised if he comes back to be honest.

Some dude on sc addicts reckons he spoke to Green & Green said he'll play on Friday night but Munster won't & he doesn't really know when Munster will be back.

Boo-urns. I just want Tohu to get dpp. I'll even take it in the halves at this stage. Would allow me to cram another gun 2rf into the team. What a tease.

Anyone considering Peachey at centre?

I've just noticed that Klemmer is now a dpp frf/2fr. He's only 400k & been killing it at lock. Could be a great pick up after origin.

I just had a look at my starting side from round 1. It's enough to make you sick.

Smith, Lichaa
JBrom, Fifita, V. Leuluai, K Evans
W Graham, Whitehead, Surgess, Benry, Bhana, J Safiti
DCE, Hastings, JNik, A Tay
Mubbs, N Green, Auva'a, Davis
Teddy, Feeney, Barba, Gutherson, Mitchell

would be interesting to see what that scores this week compared to your current side.
its not a bad squad. Maybe you should never had made a trade

Now according to fox Semi's ex girlfriend has put an AVO out on him. Things just keep taking more and more turns.

I am but the problem with him is he's like the Black Widow. Can play every position and will be the first guy to be shifted around. If he starts in the back-row once Hardaker comes into the team and Merrin goes back to Lock then I'd definitely pick him up. Busts tackles a lot and has some decent ball-playing skills so I'd bring him in for sure but right now he's a wait and see.

Could possibly go back to the bench too when Hardaker comes in.

If he played at the Tigers JT would consider him at hooker.

Speaking of which how many more games before ET gets DPP ?

I'm probably downgrading Lolohea and upgrading Parcell to Friend. With your centres I'd upgrade Lolohea to a better centre, or WFB and move Aitken up. Or even upgrade Taylor. Could also upgrade Parcell to Friend too.

Keeping an eye on him for Round 20.

Anyone else been stuck with Ben Hunt the last few weeks? Got on the train when he was scoring solidly and around 490k (which I thought was a bargain) and he's only gone downhill from there. I thought I was getting a guy that consistently hits 50 with the potential to go big but his 5 round average is 44 and his 3 round is even worse.

Part of me wants to jump on DCE who looks more dependable at the moment or wait a few weeks and go for Thurston when he starts his post origin fantasy blitz.

Am i jumping the gun a bit? Will the Broncs come right?

Their form slump should be coming to an end as long as macca is starting and Waddell isn't and origins nearly done

I'm just like you mate - depends how many trades you've got left, what you're aiming for, how daring you feel and what the rest oof your team is like tbh

I've traded DCE out twice this year so don't want to go near him...potential is there for a cheap JT after Origin

Personally I'm giving Hunt a bit of time to see how he goes when the Broncos are right again

Yea I've got Norman and Cleary so depth isn't an issue, choosing who to start is though. It's hard to put someone like Hunt as an NPR but on form it's the right call.

I've got 9 left but I'm inside the top 100 so don't want to get caught out throwing away trades at the business end. Probably just going to stick with him until I get my backfield sorted out then re-assess.

Klem has a fair point about Macca coming back, he seems to get the halves scoring.

Took the punt on Hardaker this week by downgrading Lolohea. Allowed me to get Tedesco. Leaves me with 7 trades left and 65k, rank 1389

Smith, Parcell
Fifita, Graham, JTurbo, NPR
Mannering, Merrin, Surgess, Cartwright, JDB, Tapau
DCE, Hunt, Cleary, NPR
BJ, Aitken, Gutherson, NPR
Munster, Tedesco, Barba, Hardaker, Hughes

Who would be the best to play in my vacated 3rd FB spot? Lolohea, Gutherson or Copley? Hoping Munster becomes available, but not holding my breath.
