2017 NRL.com Fantasy thread part 5

also, found this re sarginson

But Henry has seen enough of the England international to pencil him in at centre for the Gold Coast’s season opener.
“What we saw before his knee was playing up was pretty impressive,” Henry said. “If he’s right to go, he’ll be picked."

BREAKING: Kieran Foran cleared to return in #NRL Round 3

Looks like I'll have to find some more cash and upgrade Hingano. Absolutely no point in running with him for 2 rounds.

Thats a shame to hear the news about King, as they say in Cricket the trap was set.

With King looking on the outer I think I'll go 2 mid range hookers for balance. I'll have to upgrade Hingano as well.

So now that Moeroa has been named at #12 will he play 80 mins? I know it may be cliche (training the house down etc etc) But I read an article the other day that stated his shoulder nerve damage is gone and he has dropped 6kg in the off season.

The new dpp's named:
McGuire frf/2fr
Wallace frf/2fr
Munster hlf/wfb
Bolton frf/2fr
Fusitua ctr/wfb
Kennar ctr/wfb
Rochow frf/2fr
Watson hok/hlf
Hampton hok/hlf
Cullen hok/hlf
J-Nik hok/hlf

He looks very fit/sharp but I've been burnt by him in the past & will watchlist him to see how he goes in the first couple of games.

Moeroa is on the never again list after his score of 3 a few seasons ago.

Edwards always seems to steals some of Moeroas minutes. I've also been burnt by him. Though it could be his year. Scott will probably rotate with Edwards in the middle while four props share mins fairly evenly. Though if they do run with a four forward bench thats more mins to share around.

Just like Scott Moore going to start the year with 40 points, I'll trade out my second hooker because a backup hooker was a late inclusion and then King will spud up for the next 3 weeks and get dropped while whoever I trade out posts big scores

I wouldn't worry too much about it mate, you're in no danger of scoring any real points this year anyway.

1.       Tyrone Roberts
2.       Anthony Don
3.       Nathan Davis
4.       John Olive
5.       Will Zillman
6.       Ash Taylor
7.       Kane Elgey
8.       Jarrod Wallace
9.       Nathan Peats
10.   Ryan James
11.   Leivaha Pulu

No Hayne, Proctor, Hurrell, Sarginson

wow what a shit backline. even the knights are unimpressed

They don't have alot of depth anywhere except for having Roberts as a backup half. I mean yes you can say Zillman (hes shit) can play FB etc but it starts to look like a real shabby team real quickly.

Mcinnes is only in 4% of teams. deadset thought it would be a bit higher than that.

King and Hingano GTFO!

Other than places like here/renegades he'd barely be getting a mention.

McCullough/Peats are cheaper with just as much potential

And Smith paired with cheapie (King/Ballin/Mortimer) would also be pretty common.

That titans team looks shocking on paper.

Funny if Wallace stays at prop all season after getting DPP on the basis of 1 trial.

it begs the question, why did he get it? and why not others? just because of some fluff piece after he was named in the #13 last week.

What is the best looking FRF/2RF for around $230k?
