2017 NRL.com Fantasy thread part 18

Roosters have announced Copley has been released effective immediately to join another NRL club.

Who's with me
Hayne -> Copley

A comment from Cowboys forum:
"Fensom not named in Blackhawks team. Hoare & Jensen have been named.
Spina not named in Pride team. GGM has been named.
So maybe Fensom will be named at 13 & Spina bench or vice versa."

So we won't really know whether Fensom or Hess starts & Spina @ 143k could be a good pickup but how long does he last as imo Hoare is preferred over him but he's had a couple of concussions lately so they might just be building up his match fitness. The safe pick is P. Kaufusi but his ppm has never been great so he sounds a bit of a trap.

So instead of trading out Hayne I've decided to get rid of Idris. I mean way I see it I had Hayne locked in as a scoring WFB who may never get back to his best but could still average 35-40 so I'm keeping him on the basis that there's really nobody else in that cashie range that would make for an acceptable long-term replacement.

With Idris though I mean is there upside to keeping him? He is not going to be back to 80 anytime soon and MCK could actually secure a spot for once if he plays well.

Doggies down to $2.20
safe to say RTS is def out? - or has that been confirmed already?

Anyone got an opinion on Brenko Lee? He looks like he'll score solidly with good running metres and some tackles so could be a nice set and forget WFB with DPP. I'm looking at doing the following:

Talakai -> Abbey
Hayne -> B. Lee

I'm becoming convinced that Talakai won't play again, well at least not soon and Hayne is a worry with his attitude and playing in a rubbish team. Might be worth getting rid now rather than leaving them both sitting there taking up cash.

N.B. Don't be fooled by my avatar into thinking I'm a Bulldogs fan, I'm just a humble James Graham fan looking to stack my backline with Bulldogs...

Re the RTS situations. One of the Renegades guys is actually a mate of the physio so is going to try and find out. He called the 8 weeks Foran out bullshit before the Warriors confirmed this

Copley wont play this week as he is outside the 21 you have to think. Also Copley was meant to be a cashcow when signing with the Roosters so for mine he is definitely a wait and see.

hey i like brenko he looked strong and always has an arm free looking for an offload. the dogs also seemed to find space for him in attack the first 2 weeks.

only issue is that the new winger might not gel with him for the next month and that there are a lot of cheapie options available. but he has great byes and could very well stay in your team

This is one of those cases the NRL would grant the Titans to use a player outside the named #21.

This whole P Kaufusi is a trap thing, is there any big indication he could be?

Doesn't seem like a solid scorer at all but he's obviously in Green's good books being in the team since Round 1. He'll get at least 40 minutes a game and even a 30 average could see him making some decent cash.

RTS CONFIRMED OUT!!!

Yea the byes was another reason I liked him. The new winger is at least outside of him so it won't affect him getting the ball. But yea could impact on his try assists.

Sounds reliable. Bet he keeps it in the fridge

All my backs cost under $200k

I'm in for a flogging this week!

Lets sort this out once and for all by poll.

Do you keep your sauce in the fridge or cupboard?

well fuck. RTS. Week to week prospect I would guess...

Smith (McInnes)
Fifita, Faufusi
Surgess, Hess, Sironen (SiMat, Yates)
Johnson, Lamb
Moga, Kelly
Tedesco, Rjennings, Suli

Last reserve probably Cotric (over Ese'ese and Elgey) to replace RTS

Also don't know how I've avoided major injuries in my draft team

Friend
Tolman, Tamou
ET, Kromwich, Sironen
Johnson, Keary
Maubbs, Hurrell
Mitchell, PeMat, Suli

Holmes, Moga, Crichton, Paufusi

I dont do twitter, and I don't want to derail this thread, and it really shouldnt derail because only people who kill kittens would put sauce in a cupboard

I keep my sauce in the cupboard.

There are no live kittens in my house.

Coincidence?
