2017 NRL.com Fantasy thread part 4

Yeah SJ has been terrible early for at least 2 of the last 3 seasons, probably all 3, but haven't looked at the history.

With Moses, the thing that worries me is we have a tough opening couple of months.

He should definitely get 80 minutes with the current Knights pack, as well as Barnett. With 80 minutes there is pretty much no chance he loses money and he could end up averaging 10 or so more points making him a gun/keeper for the year. But with that said he already is priced quite high so there are plenty of other options around like E. Taylor, D. Finucane, M. Taupau and a few others who have potential to increase by a similar amount and are cheaper.

Moley reporting that Aaron Grays knee injury a lot worse than first thought

They were originally saying MCL, and up to 8 weeks out. 8 weeks is a fairly long prognosis for most Medials. Sometimes the ACL goes when the MCL does; or when the actual MCL goes it pulls some bone off leading to an avulsion fracture. Or the Medial Meniscus might have copped some damage as well. Did Moley specify anything?

New team new day - bit different to others that have been posted to date

Smith King
Mcguire Lawrence Matagi Tetevano
Surgess Taylor Kromwich Sata'uita Lleilua Stimson
Norman Cronk Lamb Hingano (or Field preferably if he starts)
Ferguson Walker Idris Kelly
RTS Hayne Slater Rennings Abbey

with Green gone I think Cronk is in for an increase, Ferguson will score well and DPP status
POD centres hey? I really cant wait for team lists. Knowing my luck I will get super busy that week

Feline is taking Filths spot in Ultimate L3 which is what I'm assuming he is talking about. However I dont believe that is why you PMes him so he should probably check his inbox...

L3 isn't it?

Both Leagues are filled with noobs, hard to tell the difference.

Fair call, much easier to judge when the leagues have had more than 1 rd of drafts i guess.

FWIW Barry Toohey (local knights reporter) said buhrer and sione will play 80 on the edges and barnett will play the middle and get a spell (so barnett you could guess may play 50-60 mins)

In naming 20, Flanagan has been forced to leave a handful of injured players behind, most notably Valentine Holmes, Sosaia Feki and new buy Tony Williams, while he is keeping his cards close his chest as to who might slot into the fullback role

No Cherrington, so looking more likely he won't be included in the 17 come round 1

I'm not falling for the Fergo trap again this year. He has great potential, but his defence last year was atrocious.
