2017 NRL.com Fantasy Thread part 20

373 with McInnes (c), Brailey, Fifita, JDB, Gallen and Cotric to come.

Hopefully I can crawl back the 15,000 places I've lost in ranking

526 + McInnes, Fifita, Cotric, Tedesco, Suli

783 on averages but realistically I expect around 740.

Feel like I'm around on par with you this week mate as I don't have McInnes.
Carrying both jennings and Kelly's sub 20 scores unfortunately

496 with
Brailey

Is anyone actually disappointed in Hess's 49. They are suffering from major fantasy delusions if they are

Patrick Kaufusi got 4 tackle breaks last night, but only got 6 tackle breaks across 12 games last year.

New and improved, or rogue performance?

Sam Hoare scored in lin with most of his previous appearances. I think those of us (like me) who traded him in have fallen for the "PPM King" trap

Any news on O'Neill injury?

From what I saw of Kalyn Ponga they will be trying to find him a place even when Coote is back. Looked their most dangerous player, and in a team with JT & Morgan, that is saying something

I think P. Kaufusi's 4 tb's were an anomaly. He had only ran for 37 metres at the time when he got them. I still think he's a trap.

Are there better options around Hoare's price?

I can't stand having Musgrove and Siro any longer. Need a downgrade option to upgrade the other to a gun.

Nice edit

What are the Bulldogs byes like? Thinking a no nonsense trade of Sironen to James Graham. Graham is a keeper who scores consistent 50-55. Cant go wrong there.

Who's tempted to get Ponga. He kicked the arse of all the cheapies like Abbey, Burns, Jennings, Moga points wise. He also looked very dangerous every time he got the ball & the cheapies looked very average.

Does anybody know if Jai Field is playing today? If he is, I'll be getting his points as an AE, rather than Jacks

I'd definitely sell Sironen but I'm not so sure re Musgrove. He'll start again next week plus he's still useful for byes.

Let's see what cowboys team gets named. Asiata and Fensom both looked good but more expensive.

It was hard to give too many of the much credit given they got battered by a Trent Barrett manly. Look out for Spina to be in the teamlist. Could be the better cheapie

Wacko tweeted yesterday that Field played reserve grade so it's a win for you mate.

Yeah definitely class above any other cash cow I watched. Thought Burns looked good for Souths too but will struggle for a similar level of involvement.

Any level of confidence whatsoever that he has a place beyond just next week and I will draft him straight in

Only if he gets a long stint in the team

Very good

Second best byes after Souths and Parra

I thought your plan was to get in McInnes. I think it's a better plan than getting Graham. Graham's price will be much cheaper later on & you can bring him in just before round 12 whereas the price of McInnes is currently moving upwards.

Jennings and Moga scored well in their first game. Now they are getting their arse kicked.

Why not trade in whoever it is that appears next week who can outscore Ponga's disappointing 2nd game

Who says I can't have both?
