2017 NRL.com Fantasy Thread Part 10

Vaughan and Gallen

or

Tamou and Surgess (or anyone lower than his price)

Im not convinced on Vaughan with so many forwards and their clueless coach. Although they will suck this year, which might mean lots of hit ups and tackles in the middle.

Tamou, less competition in forwards (I think) better player, in a better team. Will play origin though

Just got an email from NRL Fantasy saying my team was incomplete so they auto-completed? it, yet my squad was complete and exactly the same squad that I saved last night. Maybe they will auto-complete all squads that are not full + saved come first lockout?

This implies they will price him on his NRL, not ESL performances, and he'd come in at $255k

So if Brailey can make 20k in the next 2 weeks, the difference between he and Segeyaro could be under 100k. I've got 98k in the bank at the moment....

did you have a vice captain selected?

Prior is a solid POD

Tamou played 46 minutes for the cowboys.

The guy he is effectively replacing in the starting lineup, Leilani Latu, (who has been demoted to the bench) played 48 minutes last year.

No Mckendry or Latimore this season though? latu on the bench still so he could still see the same minutes. Meaning more minutes need covering?

Note I have no stats to back up my argument, but it seems like there would still be more minutes on offer with the injuries?

Lots of Tamou talk this morning.

Tamou vs ET? (would switch a DPP to make it a straight swap)

Hmmm.. then the jump from Brailey might not be a too hard

How much are we expecting Sironen to score and is he worth it?

Cowboys ran a utility and 3 forwards on the bench last year, Panthers run 4 forwards. Lolo im pretty sure avg less minutes then Merrin in the middle. So imo Tamou doesnt increase in minutes at the Panthers if anything he may decrease, they have a lot of big minute middle forwards.

MIght downgrade someone to keep 100K in the kitty. Brailey can stay at this stage.

Who would everyone downgrade out of these?

Smith (hahaha)
Fifi
Surgess
Mannering
Carty

How long do you think until he gets a gig? Sounds interesting...

Sorry Archer (Archie - the name of my new kitten)... i cant get here much through the day. This is just a personal liking for Dufti, but i think he is 1 injury away from having a shot. All or nothing basically.

Did I? Not sure if I did TBH, maybe that's what they meant. However my VC is Fifita so maybe they just chucked the VC on the next highest player (dollar wise) after Smith.

I reckon that's what it is - if you don't have all 4 reserves and C/VC all selected it shows up as incomplete

There may be one spot left in L8. Give Honeysett a PM.
