2017 NRL.com Fantasy thread part 4

Did everyone else get their NRL pass codes for creating their league and was it only me who never saw one after completing my 16 team league? :/

Not sure, but a soft woolly sheep ran on the field at one point and took a couple of hit ups.

This year or last year? I haven't received shit this year.

Go over to the Tigers Thread and you'll see "JT" get mentioned plenty of times

We have one spot left in the NRL Fantasy Fanatics Ultimate League draft that will kick off within the next few days. Draft selection window is 12 hours per pick and draft usually lasts 1-2 weeks so there is plenty of time for everyone to get their squads together.

If you are interested then either shoot me a PM or claim the last spot in this thread or the Ultimate League thread.

Great minds MS... great minds.

Ofa looked very good in the trial and grabbed a meaty towards the end. His fellow bookend Ese'ese grabbed one as well and looked pretty good.

Now that the RL season has somewhat kicked off, I feel justified in asking the board the most annoying format of fantasy question:

Klemmer and Slater
or
Daifiti and French

Thank you ^_^

Daifiti and Slater .....

Question is though if Slater doesn't start round 1 do you carry him.
TLT can't come soon enough

The question is not will Slater start round 1 but will he last round 1.

So S. Sue has been training on the right edge in pre season. He's a rare dpp frf/2fr & priced @ 346k (av 36.5). If he plays 80 mins which he probably will he's much better value than ET imo. At least Sue won't have to spend time at hooker when Ballin gets injured as I wouldn't say Liddle will play 80 mins. #yearofthemidranger.

Last year or the year before Sue started at second row played the whole game and was scoring in the 50's looking after Moses.

The Taylor moved him to prop and his scores suffered

If Sue takes the spot everyone is assuming was Aloiai's makes him interesting. He's started
Moving from middle forward to the edge generally (but not always) decreases workload. As far as I can tell Sue has strtaed as edge forward 3 times o  rounds 1-3 2015. Averaged 47 in 67 minutes.  small sample size but the average is sufficiently high to make him worthy of consideration. The main concern would be whether it would be a permanent move or whether he'd find himself back in the prop rotation after a month

re ET at hooker. ET will never go into the game with intentions of playing hooker. Sure if Ballin/Liddle/Rankin/McIlwrick get injured during a game he might have to spend time there. But avoiding a fantasy player because of what might happen in a reshuffle due to mid game injury is not a winning strategy. All sorts of useful fantasy players might spend part of a game at centre, hooker, in the halves if someone gets injured. Not worth worrying over. Either decide ET is worth it or not worth it based on what he'll do in a normal game. FOr all we know ET will get injured in the first minute and then Ballin and Liddle will both have to play big minutes covering him - but I certainly wouldn't get either of them in the hope that happens.

Surprised by this, thought Aloiai would stay starting. It suggests we might see one of Eisenhuth or Marsters in the 17 Round 1.

Don't do it, don't buy Sue. I did last year, just don't.

I think Sue is a bit like black widow really.

His name gets thrown up every year as a possibility, but it has never materialised into consistent top level fantasy scores.

Thinking more on that, Aloiai may go back to Lovett's vcant bench spot.

Also, I distinctly remember Sue looking pretty bloody good in the Nine's last year or the year before when he had a bit more space.
