2017 NRL.com Fantasy thread part 18

Actually I asked this earlier but didn't get a response. 

Is it worth bringing in Moga now or has that ship sailed?

Personally I wouldn't now, not with Mead and the decent mix of youngster the donkeys have hanging around

Want to get Hess but wondering what his minutes will be?

Fensom joining the club

Also when bigJT comes back do they switch him to prop?,throw Hess or Fensom at lock and have kaufusi or hoare coming off the bench? I know the named bigJT at lock but the team will be a lot stronger with him at prop and Hess at lock

It doesn't matter if JT/Hess wear 13 or 8 they will be the exact same roles

Milchy could confirm these NYC scores, or are you sure of the source mate?

100% they are from the Renegades guru who does the yearly Prospectus

Yeah, saw Nicholls post about half an hour ago. Milchy did admit to having a man crush on Steve to me last year, for realsies. That is saying something.

I think this needs to be said regardless of the player. Don't look at how much the player has already made, rather look at what that player could potentially make from here on in. If you think that player can still make 90-100k+ then trade them in. The same rule applies whether it be Moga, Yates or any other cash cow.

Maybe nostalgic, probably stupid, but pretty sure I'm just going to bring in Fensom

Didn't trust my gut on Bateman. Don't want to make the same mistake on one of fantasy's super guns. Nothing on that bench or in that line up is suggesting to me he won't get big minutes as soon as he's in the rotation. Hope he proves himself in the 2 weeks lolo is out. Will undo my error then and burn a trade while still early season if I was wrong

Hess is coming off the bench at present,only played big minutes last week due to so many injuries, if he starts,his minutes will go up a fair bit

Yeah I'm with you on that I'm just pointing out that no matter where he's named to start, if at all, he will play the same minutes and have the same role. 

Cowboys use their lock as a third prop

Should I 0 off all the other rounds also? And I put the b/e in too right?
So if i say he scores a 40 should i move that into the most recent game column and move everything else down one row?

If you are playing with my price predictor, only change the fields in blue.

Everything else is calculated for you.

Sironen SHOULD be around $310,000 - $320,000 with an average of 39 by R6

Whitehead with 50s will only be around a $50,000-$70,000 upgrade

Yes.
Don't look at how much money a player has made or lost already this season.
That ship has sailed and there is nothing you can do about it. But if they will still make money to justify the trade, then do it.

I think I'm leaving the Cowboys forwards for a couple of weeks. Too much bait.

Their backs ain't much better.

What a horrible TLT.

Just caught Bevan French on Sterlo and Sterlo asked if Norman was playing. French said no, and that he had a bit of a hammy issue. He said because of the short turnaround he's not playing. Although if they played Sunday, even Saturday he probably would have played. So BA I think wrapping him in cotton wool, but will be back round 4 by the looks.

If Hess can land a starting spot now for two weeks I could go;

Elgey -> Hess via Carty or
Talakai -> Hess via SMat

I'm thinking Fensom just slots into 13 though. I'm not liking many of the cashie options this week so might just say fuck it and play a bunch of the rookies and Elgey! Slater being back fucks Jacks too, but I want to hold him, he'll be back. Elgey against a Normanless Eels could do something.

What do we see the guth averaging from now on?

I put money on Eels 13+ as well, this TLT does indeed suck

French spoke really well, did a good job and seems like a nice bloke.

You'd think he'd stick pretty close to that 40.

I really thought so too. Seemed a little rushed and nervous but very well mannered and respectable indeed, good on him.

Shaun Lane profile pic is him still in a Warriors jersey lol

I know its been asked before. But with Taumalolo getting done at the judiciary do the Cowboys get to name an extra player or are they expected to cover him from the existing 21 man squad?

In any case, I am guessing Fensom comes in, with either Hess or Fensom to get the starting spot.
