2017 NRL.com Fantasy thread part 9 - TLT edition

Love the whitehead named at Ctr, now for him to get dpp, play quiet in the centres until Croker returns then get traded into my team for a cheaper price

Well that's the plan I mentioned earlier today,  but now one step closer haha

Means my centres will probably look like whitehead/Smat in 6 weeks or so

My 3 Newcastle players showing up as injured lol

Trying to tell me something

What's the story with Raiders pack. Priest? Think I'm sticking with Soliola

Junior Paulo will be back next week (suspended for rnd 1)

I don't know about everyone else but I've just dropped McInnes for Macca

Junior Paulo is suspended. He'll take Priests spot next week (or round 3, forget how long he's out for)

Just checking in to see if I'm an idiot. Is it worth leaving 364k in the bank by going with Brailey as my 2nd HOK instead of McInnes so I can instantly snap up Whitehead when Croker returns? Can't afford Talakai and I doubt Lawton will make much money so throwing it out there.
Lot of cash sitting around there though to play a long con which might not pay off.

Dean Whare on the wing

Excuse my ignorance, but what were people doing with McInnes in their sides to begin with?

Does he score well? Just doesn't strike me as a top notch fantasy player.

He scores well when playing big minutes

Basically if he gets the minutes he goes big, nothing flashy but tackles a lot.
Last year he was in and out/had to share minutes with Cook but doesn't have that issue anymore

Wouldn't touch any raider forwards at the moment. Way to many variables over the next few weeks.

Paulo and Taylor will come back. Lui and Lima out.

Tuner will force his way into team if he figures out how to tackle.

Croker comes back in 5 weeks. Whitehead back into forwards

Clydesdale is pretty poor. I wouldn't be shocked to see him dropped and Hodgson play close to 80.

Why is Field in the 17? Seems strange.

Yet Wallace gained dpp at 2rf and is named at prop. Makes sense

Paulo out for one week. Surely priest stays, not on talent alone but because Ricky loves him.
Lima for me drops out. And Lui when Taylor plays, no idea when that will be

To give McInnes a spell.

The fuck? Do they just pick and choose now whether they want to follow the rules or not now? If you make everyone else a DPP if they're named there in Round 1 you do it for everyone or nobody at all. Wallace was given 2RF based on a trial game but they're just changing their minds now because reasons
