2016 NRL.com Fantasy thread part 45

Tolman and Graham first up this weekend. Macca and ET the other two ressies. Whitehead narrowly misses out. If Bodene plays that messes things up.

Got a feeling Tolman will be reverting back to 45s-50 now the dogs are back from origin and at near full strength

Yeah I had thought that, but it's just so hard to leave him out after his 'form' last month

Yeah, no way he keeps those minutes up now.

Klemmer looking like a great POD too.

Who do I pick for my last reserve, JTurbo, Cleary or Gutherson?

Would you put in Whitehead over Tolman?? Although if I don't pick Tolman there is no way I can pick Graham because he has been terrible over the origin period

I would go for Gutherson followed closely by Cleary. I have no choice but to play them lol

Cleary pretty easily for me Chuck, fantastic base stats always a winner

Klemmer is a great PoD shout if he can get 50-60 minutes

You could be doing a lot worse then having to play those two my man.

Hard to say mate. You'd expect Graham to motor on now towards the end of season. It's a lottery. You'd probably just have to play both.

Thanks for the help LB and Welshy.
I think I'll go with Cleary.
Guthersons score of 51 last week included a try.
He's worth watching but I'm not yet convinced he's a 50+ pt average player.

I'd say Cleary is the safer option too. I'm playing him and Guth though.

Should be a really good game tonight.
Sadly I will miss it at I've tickets to see the new star trek movie and they were bought before I realised there was a Thursday night game. Might have people over on Friday to make up for it haha.

Not as bad as watching Lost instead of origin but not ideal.

Why has Buhrer scored so well the last few weeks and is there any reason why it wont continue?

Edit: Maybe Myles back means Kapow to 2nd row?

Buhrer is a guy who averages around 45 when fit and playing as an 80 minute backrower. His problem over the past few years has been constant injury.

Now that he is apparently fit again I'd back him to average 45 for the run in. His recent form is boosted by an abnormal 87 a few weeks ago. He won't be repeating that very often. Ignore that game and his 5 game average is 44, about what I'd be expecting from him from now on in.

Lads if you could bring Harris or Manners in for JTurbo this week who vote for ?

Harris 6% ownership, Manners 25%

Would that tip the scales towards Harris ?

Fuckers still haven't given Taupau DPP. And they aren't likely to change someone's status mid round, so I assume it will have to wait until next week.

Should have started my campaign earlier, I should have realised they don't really follow such things and just look at whatever renegades whinge about at the time

Happy to hit up LS on FB if you want mate.

Mannering easily, Harris could play other positions randomly and it is too risky
