2017 NRL.com Fantasy thread part 9 - TLT edition

Bateman and Kaufusi seem pretty popular round these parts. Harris out for a while helps Kaufusi I suppose, and Bateman at lock should be good with the minutes.

Cleared my team again and so far have this lot. Pretty happy atm

MAtagi is a trap IMO. He always starts well at new clubs, then falls flat. This is what, his 4th club in 3 years?

Ok. Was think he's good for byes though if he comes good. Was also thinking Musgrove was going well last year before his injury.

I had Bateman last year. He was a pleasent surprise as a reserve a few times.

Musgrove, Matagi, Afoa, Bateman, FKaufusi

Bateman have plenty of faith in, Kaufusi I'm pretty high on too.

I like Afoa a lot but he needs to keep Bodene out which is a big ask.

Musgrove is surrounded by a lot of options as well.

Never really been high on Matagi even though I enjoy watching him but only because he runs hard. Don't see him becoming much more than he's ever been.

Bateman vs Soliola besides price difference Go!

You spelled Batman wrong

Am I better off going ET + any FRF Wallace or cheaper (thinking musgrove or Matagi and saving the extra cash) or Mannering and a nuffy, meaning I have to play either Brailey or Elgey as my last reserve?

Is Brailey a must have with the lack of good cash cows?

Raiders fans in the know what is the situation with Dave Taylor and his contract? Was hearing mixed reports that it hadn't been registered yet?

Why Guth mate? Seems to be priced about right. You see any upside?

Personally I think parra are in for a big year

Ive got the same spine. I also have Jbrom.

Gurgess out really mucked with the depth of the team. With out him depth looks very shaky. Easy to swap him out for someone around the same price. I.e prior, but what is the upside? constant 30's and no $ increase.

Is it OK to get Nu Brown as 4th HLF NPR?

Goal kicks and better than Holmes and French and DPP

Bettter than Holmes? huge call.

I'm surprised at the lack of Holmes love here, is it just the week out? the guy is absolute dynamite.

Brailey NPR + Norman

or

McInnes + Field/Hingano NPR

Had Holmes for ages and dropped before said he was out. Too many yo yo scores and seems priced accordingly

Playing wing though? Barba at the back all last year surely he adds a few points playing in the No.1

Do you think he will be there after this game?

Where does Beale move to when Holmes is back? If Lee keeps his spot then Beale may move to the bench like last years GF

Fifi just throws my team balance off. Going to have to go without him or Surgess
