2017 NRL.com Fantasy thread part 2

I'm back. Stupid iPhone 7 wouldn't let me login. Happy new year to all and I hope you all had a good festive season. My wife and I had our 3rd child over the break. She was born on the 30th of December.

Now that's all the pleasantries out of the way. Bring on fantasy 2017.

Is Vaughan really that underpriced?

Now the pre season is fully Sik. Welcome back lad and Congratulations on the new bub. Normally when one mentions their wife/girlfriend/sister etc they have to post a photo however I'll let it slide this time. Hope the wife and bub are healthy.

Thanks mate. I could share some blood and guts pictures, however a banning may follow.

Nah. They are both doin awesome. But more importantly NRL fantasy is upon us.

Just read that the Knights are talking to the NRL integrity unit about getting Todd Carney

Michael Crocker still the best decoy Captain in history.

Congrats on getting both sorted

Media beat up, I reckon absolutely no truth to it. Next we will be after Chris Sandow.

I think so, but only if he get Mike Coopers 50 mins. Average 41 in 40 mins, if he gets another 10 minutes, hes the number 1 prop in team, he should average at least 45 in my eyes. Closes the gap on the likes of James Graham without hindering your scoring too much.

Vaughan played 10 games last year over 40 minutes, for a average score of 47 points in 45 mins.

Comparing that to the likes of Jarrod Wallace who has been talked up bigtime this preseason, averaged 31 in 36.5 mins, I know which 1 I'd rather have if they both gain 10 mins.

Lol - my mate who's a Knights fan actually said that when he shared the 5thTackle link to the Carney story - "Toddy to the Knights .. was only a matter of time before his name was mentioned. Get Sandow as well. They can brawl together"

I guess I see Vaughan at $388k in a different category to Wallace at $291k

It's lazy journalism and it really shits me but the thing is I will still click on the link and read it. So I'm part of the problem.

It's garbage. I was thinking about running a site that looked at the main league websites and see what their successful strike rate was.

True, but they still both midrange, Wallace will definitely need trading when he peaks averaging around 37-38 whilst Vaughan could be a keeper until round12. Both should make about $60K. Is it worth it?

Congratulations mate. Hope everything goes smoothly for you and your wife.

Thurston will be a good pick up next year with no origin
