2017 NRL.com Fantasy thread part 9 - TLT edition

no gurgess pi$$ed me off last night, cleared my team in anger, then tried to rebuild, have now got $230k spare and don't know where to spend it so I think I'll sit. Feeling anxious though that I have too much cash there. Thoughts?

Who is your worst benchy?

Sironen?

Has to be someone there to put that cash to good use assuming you're playing overall

I'm the same, has completely thrown me and I have started to reshape my entire team including players I am definitely not sure I want.

I am honestly not sure what I want to do anymore.

DAMN YOU, TLT! DAMN YOU TO HELL!

Ah sorry was confused by the bold

Well played

Have settled on my back 9. I'm going to call that a win.

Gee it's hard in the halves and forwards though to get comfortable

Smith Brailey
McGuire DSaifiti FKaufusi Leota (NPR)
Gallen JDB ETaylor SMat Siro Yates (NPR)
Norman Lamb Elgey (NPR) Hingano (NPR)
Walker Idris Cotric (NRP) Kelly (NRP)
Hayne RTS Holmes Phythian (NPR) Suli (NPR)

Pretty much ready to lock and leave unless someone has some pressing issues that I'm blind to.

Shoot.

Thoughts on the following:

Smith (Brailey)
Fifita, Daifiti
Surgess, McGuire, Kromwich, (SiMat, Sironen)
Norman, Lamb (Elgey)
Idris, Kelly
Tedesco, RTS, Hayne

I.Papa, Yates, MCK, Field, Talakai, Moga, Python, Cotric

christ, aside from DSaifiti (I have musgrove there atm, after Gurgess named at #20), and Suli (I have Talakai), this is my team, and in same player order pretty much.

I like the way you think. I'm not sold on Musgrove with Gurgess waiting in the wings but he could go well.

Neither am I to be honest but the 300k+ players don't appeal to me and I'm struggling to justify a complete reshuffle to upgrade to a 400k+ player.

Couplen of them not for me but very nice mate.

Can really make a nice side when not going with Fifita. Hmmm

Guess my team takes some big risks in the CTR and Backs. But think their is more opportunity there.

As per MY TV's recommendations, I can swap out Dsaif for Musgrove and then swap Moga for jennings.

Anyones thoughts?

Seems like a safer option.

you guys could do nicer things if you put the r on elgey

Funny that these 3 man combos cost exact same money

Mcguire Bateman Sezer
ET Soli Lamb

I want ET and Soli the most or is Soli AND Bateman the way to go?

Thanks man.

I don't think anyone's overly happy with their forward bench but I feel mine really sucks I'm wondering if there's improvement to be made. Actually plenty of people are running with potential duds like Yates and Leota so we'll all get trapped somewhere.
What do I do with Frank Winterstein though? I really think he's prime Nathan Green-esque trap material but who else is there to get for 234k and under? Legit thinking of just running with Stimson as a NPR and hoping he gets a run. I'd say Jarrod Kennedy is a good chance of taking Winterstein's spot after a few rounds but 207k on a maybe is an absolute no no.

Hey now. buyer beware. Musgrove's security is questionable. I sort of just put him there until I have an epiphany on what to do otherwise. I may well just run with him though and hope it works out.

That's actually not a bad shout, if you've got him in your team at that price then you must expect him to score OK, which at this stage in the season is enough for a reserve spot. Only one I would downgrade would be sironen which would free up a bit of cash to upgrade... umm.... I don't know

You kind of have to with the 4th frf and 6th 2rf position.

If you don't, (ie you stack those areas) then you're probably weak elsewhere.

A 2RF cow will turn up sooner or later.
