2016 NRL.com Fantasy Thread Part 47

Aitken had some great runs last night, kudos to the bronco's D for keeping him contained...
Not so great for his fantasy score though

This is better,
But remember if you take a stance like this, then you need to be consistently considerate across the board of all choices, cultures, orientation, religion, etc

Clint Eastwood called the younger generation pussies. Of course this didn't go down too well.

That's a big blow for the Warriors as he's been sparking a lot of their attack. This may impact SJ as well.

SJ should take back the goal kicking now. May be good for him.

I don't want to lose to a silent, anonymous, too-mature-to-get-involved-in-petty-trash-talk, eliminator killer.

Just with JDB, last night I reckon that was the most amount of 2nd man plays from a forward I can recall. I reckon he took a run and then passed just short of the line at least 10 times, if not 15!? James Graham and a few others are great for it but last night was ridiculous.

Will Roache start in hooker then? I happen to have him as an NPR, will definitely make him R if he does start

Tevaga will start. Maybe Roache to bench to give Tevaga a spell.

Those are the instructions a lot of middle forwards are given when they are needed to play 80/big mins and tackle their nuts off in the middle of the park. Allows them to preserve their energy rather then just take hit up after hit up

Thought i was getting lucky, nvm then

I think it was a big reason why Dragons looked like they'd never score points. So easily telegraphed and also so slow in getting the ball out to strike runners. When Graham does it he does it quicker and also has softer hands so you don't know whether it's going inside, outside, cutout, whatever. With JDB he just shovels it on to the next man outside and the defence have a couple of extra seconds to set. All no problem for fantasy purposes, but not that great in real life.

Yep, exactly.  But I don't think I have ever seen a single player do it that many times is what I am saying.

Like rhinoceroo said, it was too much.  Telegraphed and when JDB chose to take the line on it was soft as.

Don't give up yet, I'm expecting Roache to start.

Dragons are just shit.
Left to right, right to left. It's terrible to watch

I can't watch them play any more

Just had a look for the first time and now I know I'm up against Pacey in the eliminator.

Oh well, it was a fun ride...








Nice match up between SI and myself this week in ultimate as well I see

I did notice that too, I think Aitken ended up taking on the line the most

The dragons should have spread it wide more often in the second half, they seemed to make more meters every time they did... instead of just battering through the middle of the park (which is great for the 1st half), no wonder they don't score many tries

Aitken was looking dangerous as always, but Hunt surprisingly contained him really really well. I was hoping for Aitken to break the line but then I was happy that Hunt didn't miss the tackle haha.

Gutherson to score a double down tonight. He's been nice and consistant ever since going into the halves, time for a cut loose score.

Since he's a NPR for me, this probably will happen.

I thinking the Eels to win too.
