2016 NRL.com Fantasy thread part 44

Ive made some DPP swaps and brought in Oates for now. I'll wait to see how much he breaks himself tomorrow night, but gives me an 80min potential scorer across a few positions.

Otherwise - yep. Scraping the barrel here...

Munster's going to play, isn't he? Bellamy is on record as wanting to fuck with Fantasy/SC players.

Does this mean he's wrapped up the Carter Award for the year?

Kinda like the Dally M for points lost?

Yeah, I guess so, he's pulled the ultimate Carter Award by getting himself completely excluded from the weekly award.

currently going

Taylor - Parker
Auva'a - Bird

leaving me with the following for the round

Smith, Friend
Surgess, James
Cartwright, JTurbo, Mannering, Parker
Norman, Hunt, Cleary
Bird, Aitken
Dugan, Gordon, Mitchell, Gutherson

Gutho finished now he's gone to the wing lads?

my team for this week (pending origin dramas) will be;

Smith, Rein
James, Turbo
Surgess, Mannering, Merrin, Cartwright, Frizell
Johnson, Norman, Cleary
Dugan, Manu
Mansour, Gordon, Munster???

Surely Munster plays, dammit. Smith being named is a bit of a surprise too, but a nice one, hope it stays that way.

Kinda looks that way as far as I'm concerned. Need him this week though.

So according to team lists, I'm running with this:

Smith (Friend)
James, Surgess
Merrin, Parer, Harris
Hunt, Taylor (Cleary)
Aitken, Gutherson
Mitchell, Manu, Barba (French)

possible 17th man: Munster

So with KNik out and no naming of Waddell, do we think Macca will play the 80?

p.s. I hope so, cause he's now my cheapie backup to CS9...

I wish I held off on getting Friend two weeks ago when I saw this Broncos team list. I'd definitely take a punt on him, he's a proven gun, just had an interrupted season with minutes and injury.

Have a feeling Munster will play but Manu won't. Can't see Ferguson not backing up Weds to Monday.

Still tossing up whether to go Parker or Cordner as last forward. Probably the latter. Then Gutherson to Dugan/Trbo next week leaves me with a final team of 20 active players to cover injuries...which I'll need seeing as will only have one trade left.

Smith, Friend
Fifita, Gallen, JGraham (JWH)
Mannering, Surgess, Merrin, Whitehead, Cordner (Henry)
SJ, Norman (Cleary, Feeney)
BJ, Aitken (Manu, Scott)
Tedesco, Munster, Dugan (Mitchell, Hughes)

Can you get James in over Cordner? Also think Parker or JDB goes better than Cordner over the back end

McCullough and that team list

Team for this week :-)

C. Smith (c), (J, Friend)
A. Fifita, S. Burgess (Fonua Blake)
C. Parker, S. Mannering, P. Gallen
N. Cleary, B. Barba
J. Dugan, J. Bird
M. Moylan, C. Munster???

Unavailables, Tedesco, Reynolds, J. Graham, J. Thurston.

No, I can't get James. Cordner, Parker, JDB, Tohu back in the forwards and the massively underrated Proctor are the options. Have narrowed it down to the first three but don't trust JDB's minutes, don't trust Parker's form and don't trust the Roosters...all have pros and cons.

Proctor it is

Smith, (Friend)
Surgess, JBrom, (Fifita)
Mannering, BT, James, (Merrin)
SJ, Cleary, (Matterson)
Aitken, Gutherson
Mitchell, Manu, Munster

Looking a bit flimsy at the backs this week but pretty close to a solid team. Tedesco, Graham, Leilua all work their way back in next week.

Who to captain though??? BT? James? Surely Smith will only play 55-60 minutes.

Merrin, Gallen or JDB?

Have 600k to spend after moving carty to halves. Already have JBrom, Surgess, Fifita, Graham, Mannering, Trbojevic and Bodene.

I'd go Gal, he's got a premiership winning team on the go and will be focused on that after origin.
