2016 NRL.com Fantasy thread part 44

Still time to bust 9 tackles and score a try JDB, don't fail me now!

Konnie looking like he's enjoying his footy a lot more at the Titans. Busy, working hard - even on defence

EDIT: after seeing that last try - correct this to 'working a bit harder'

On tackles and metres Aitken is on 42 with 4 missed tackles making for 34 points. Has he really broken that many tackles to get to 51? Damn I was going to get rid of CLaw for Aitken but decided that there wasn't a huge upside to the trade. Well I guess I'll see how the Tigs go next week before I decide if he's got to go.
Wish Leilua had some more of those crap games in reality, great game Fantasy wise.

Still rubbish from a fantasy point of view. Doubled his score with that try assist and line break.

I still traded him in this week. Might be a useful player in the run home when trades dry up and injuries hit. Hoping it's worth the $20k over minimum.

Just came back on at 55 minute mark.

Is it a similar story with JDB?

He came  back on a bit earlier than James.

I have Aitken and certainly didn't look like a 55 point game.

I own Aitken & no way he scores 62 points. I always watch the games first & only check my scores at h/t & f/t & when you see some of the scores players get you wonder if the scorers saw the same game. I was expecting 30-40 points for Aitken.

Always used to think that when I watched Graham v Tolman at the start of the season, even though Tolman seemed busier or at least as busy, Graham was scoring 15-20 points more than Tolman which I didn't think was right

I'l Take a 62 but will not expect it to stay there! James on the other hand can go up if he so pleases!

give the man more minutes!!

Sometimes there's games where a player does bad but for some reason they've killed it Fantasy wise. Cartwright has been way out of his depth defensively at half the last few weeks but was banging out 60 after 60 with a 53 in his last game.

Aitken had a much better second half and did a lot of defence.  I could possibly see a 50 point game to be honest max with that break at the end, but 62 is a bit much.  Maybe they didn't deduct his mis tackles live.  I aint complaining with that score since he was on 6 after 25 odd minutes.

Happy I dodged the JDB bullet too. McGregor doesn't know what he's doing with his forward pack IMO.

Haha, glad I wasn't the only one wondering how Aiken got that much.
Not too bad from Hurrell, I think he has Tbs owing.

The scorers were pretty liberal with the try saves tonight. makes me wonder if they counted that time thompson basically stood over the titans goal line with absoultely zero chance of scoring before playing the ball on the 10 metres.

Some story every week. See if Lone Scout owns Aitken.

Aitken is strong and seems to have really good leg drive. Can always make a few extra metres with his hitups even with a few men on him.

Yeah, 6 in the 1st half alone.

I went back and watched the 1st 20 again and James definitely deserved his, I did question it earlier but certainly deserved it.

Where's Lone Scout ranked this year, I haven't noticed.

Was going to VC Aitken but went with Hurrell and was semi excited seeing the score. Oh well

I thought about a sneaky VC on Aitken as well.  Ended up on SJ with Merrin Captain.

Who is this loner scout that you speak of?

He's eating your dust, mine as well I think.
