2017 NRL.com Fantasy thread part 14

Yeh talakai was beasting it, got caught out that one time but hey the rest of the game was solid

If the likes of Talakai and Musgrove lose their spots, Madge has fucking lost the plot.

DSaifiti - Bateman too sideways?

I was reading a sc forum & they reckon Smith looked unfit & there were no combinations especially with J-Brom being injured early. I'm starting to lean your way but it's not an easy decision to make.

If Smith doesn't perform this week he's gone for sure.

Smith will score 60+ this week. Ill even make a one week avatar bet on it.

Why is Matagi a no go?

Trying to find a replacement for Pythian not Saifiti

Yep.
When Tapine recovers 4 weeks from now (maybe less) we should hopefully have Croker back. That would mean our pack will be something like:

Best Raiders pack:

Ask yourself this, regardless of where anyone starts, do you really feel more comfortable with Bateman's mins and workload in that team than you do DSaif, or will you be looking to make another trade in 4 weeks time there?

Not touching that with a 10ft pole. Almost as certain as the sun rising, people will trade him out drop the captaincy from him and he will go large for those that hold the faith.

will looks elsewhere, cheers lad!

have to decide on upgrade or go to Musgrove and bank some extra cash for later

I want Moga bad. But my centre is all cashies with the ever faithful Smatat! Idris will come good in time - not just yet but he will

Moga is just pure size and strength nabbing the likes of TBs everywhere! He looked dangerous. His knee scares me as does the recent scare. I'm interested to hear how desperate people are to bring in Moga?

I'm keen to get someone in for Pythian, but thinking it needs to be a forward so I can get SMat into the centres for some solidity of sorts (don't want to rely on the lottery of choosing two rookie centres each week.

But if I was happy to get a straight replacement in the backs I think Moga is worth a shot

Can you move Smat into 2RF and get Moga in for someone there? I think he is worth the gamble

For me personally, not at all. He scored well but I already have 4 cashcows there even if they wont make as much cash or make it as quickly. If I downgrade J. Bromwich this week then I will look at Moga for Pythian. Otherwise Pythian will become Jennings/Burns for me. I don't think you need every cashcow to be successful and Idris definitely has a good chance to come good. Scored most of his points in the second half after some jitters from not playing the game for year. Will improve and score well with more time.

Are Burns/Jennings likely to be any good fantasy wise?

I'd say Jennings will be more so than Burns

Burns is likely to be a FB so he would be worth a punt at the very least. If he gets a run at FB he could be there year long meaning he has potential to be anything from a Keeper to Feeney

Cheers Welshy.

Figured out what ya doing with DSaf?

or downgrade to cashie Musgrove

Was optimistic till I saw that word.
