2017 NRL.com Fantasy thread part 7

I'm not a fan of Cleary I want to see how he goes first. Obviously Talented but I'm a wait n see'er with him.

I think Cronk might be a good purchase this year

You fired your shot too early mate. It was purpose I change it to make it wider. Could have put a Raider in there but after making the list of Jericho I'm too hurt.

  I used to rate you above posters like Panda and Welshy, YOU'VE CHANGED!

Also, I quite like that approach @Mighty Fishes. Probably going down a similar route myself, though maybe not QUITE as heavy in the halves and maybe something in WFB.

Talakai, Idris, Scott, Kelly
RTS, Hayne, Uate, Sio, Fogerty

Too light??

Would be interesting to see if Green had a negative influence on Cronk's kicking metres. I'd assume Munster will kick less.

Who came on for McInnes?

won't it be something like Tevaga, Prop, Prop, 2RF

I think it was Kearney that suggested Foran will come off the bench in Dunedin. Concerns about his ability to play the full 80 first up.

Even if BT is back (Although I havent heard anything yet) Bunty will still be relevant due to the Hoffman injury no?

You have to ask what you want out of him. Is he a midranger who is going to move towards gun status? Are you going to make money off him? Or is he going to plod in your team not really making enough points or not really making enough money all season. I am wary of players like him who might see an extended role as an injury replacement in the short term, but they don't make enough money to make it worth trading them out. Then you're stuck with him slowly bleeding the profit over time because he's not worth the trade, as the lesser minutes are not enough.

Or if by some miracle they do make enough money, on the week you have to trade them out something else more pressing happens. Murphy's law lol

TLDR: I would steer clear personally

Thanks mate, yup you have convinced me.

I guess the main variable is BT and whether his is on the outer or not? Anyone close to the Warriors know??

Looks like Bunty will get a chance to play a few games of 80 minutes regardless though so if there are question marks over BT, Bunty will have a chance to prove himself. If he takes that chance maybe he does become a long term starter.... Interested to hear the thoughts of people in the know! Risky proposition though huh!

Dylan Walker or Tommy T?
Walker seems to be undervalued and might kick goals but Trbojevic fully fit has gun potential all over it

Did I read there was going to be a "kick-off" for the GK duties at Manly? Was that for real? If so, anyone know the outcome, cause surely if Walker is kicking he has to be in serious consideration!

I was hoping Kelly would win.

I think id take Gallen over Surgess at this stage. I recently dropped him for JDB.

I definitely prefer Mannering, Gallen and JDB over Surgess. If it wasn't for byes I wouldn't even consider Surgess
