2017 NRL.com Fantasy thread part 2

Proctor injured knee at training this week with knee in brace. Isn't thought to be serious.

Trials give me nothing but more questions, Rory O'Brien was a good example. Another that comes to mind is Kane Evans last year, monstered the trial (WCC) but played like a mouse come season start

But using round 1 named teams instead hardly answers those questions

Hasn't moved much off my last team with Ray Thompson $265,000 in as a Seggy Substitute

Smith, Segeyaro
DSaifiti, Gurgess, Joe Ofa, Perrett
Surgess, ETaylor, KBrom, Aloiai Elliott, Stimpson
Norman, Cleary, Elgey, Hingano
SioneMat, Idris, Scott, Kelly
Tedesco, RTS, Hayne, Phythian, Jennings

very happy with potential of starting back 5 and halves

Thoughts?

Needs more Aubs and Sio

Mullen suspensions opens up another value option in the halves. Either Lamb or Hodkinson(Kostjasyn 5/ will be value

Mullen was training at hooker anyway. Hodko + lamb is the most likely halves pairing to start the year. Kostjacyn is injured i think?

Yep, augering well for a Cow.

Kostjasyn is fantasy mud. Avoid, even if he starts

Agreed. If he starts at 5/8 Hodkinson will get a heap of kick metres

Fairly confident Hodkinson will be in my team come round one

Hodgkinson or Lamb are both great mid range options with potential to avg around the 40 mark, I'm not saying both will, but 1 definitely will

Lamb will likely take the bulk KM I reckon, so may even be the safest option

Hodko will be kicking goals for the ten tries they score all season.

Does Mullen being out increase or decrease Hodkinson's value do you think?

Also do you guys think there will be any value in Roberts replacement (whoever that is) at the Broncs?

Fantasy wise, I think the best replacement for Roberts is Glenn, with a spot in the forward rotation being opened up for Arrow/other

Surely it will be something like
1.Boyd
2.Oates
3.Kahu
4.Marshall
5.Mead

could very well do but if reports are right that Bennett wants more experience on the bench then I doubt this would eventuate (although I wouldn't completely rule it out)

They do actually, doesn't always work out (re Green) but is a hell of a lot safer then trials

Does anyone else think the Roberts incident seems a bit convenient? I'm sure I read a few weeks ago that the Broncs were trying to get rid of him, now suddenly he's been deregistered and they can presumably tear up his contract?
