2017 NRL.com Fantasy Thread Part 22

To get Ponga I have to downgrade Suli. Which option:
(a) Akauola - allows me to move Sione to the ctrs but doesn't play round 12 & limited potential or
(b) R. Jennings - is a dpp like Suli so I can still move him & Cotric around. Also a great bye schedule & will get a long run of games.

It has to be Jennings doesn't it. Thanks.

Bringing him in instead of surgess.

Nuts for the elgey to field?

Elegy still has money to make. I think the Titans can put in a good performance after last week. Especially now we've seen what a Cows team without Lolo performs like

didnt akauola start some games last year and get subbed at 20 minutes never to return to the field?

EDIT: according to team planner, started rnd 1 and only played 20 mins then wasn't seen again for weeks.

avg'd 20 mins per game when he did play off the bench.

I am currently ranked 82nd so want to stay competitive.

Does Hayne and Moga to Jennings and Slater sound like a solid set of trades?

I misfired last week with Papalii and Pythian to Abbey and Hoare...

Yeah i know. But the cash freed up this week means next week i can double trade of kbrom to whitehead and either moga/suli or jwallace to jbrom

Would end up next week with a team of
Smith brailey
Jbrom jwh faufusi yates
Gallen whitehead et hess mck wallace
Sj lamb jacks field
Aubs smat kelly talaki
Rts guths cotric hayne suli.

Risk/reward i reckon is worth it.

For all those Rennings peeps out there, A-a-ron Gray is 4 weeks away...

Also, Elliot and Tupou out for the Knights... Will the next Knights FB please stand up?

Gagai to FB and Wardle into centre I'd imagine

Very tempted to give the armband to Surgess. Reckon he's in for a massive game tonight against the roosters forward pack

Gray may return via the wing and push Burns out of the side. Seriously who knows what Madge will do week to week though.

Sam Burgess vs Dylan Napa

round 2

Kelly, Moga, Jennings or Suli?

If I was ranked that high I would be saving trades and let others around you make those sort of moves

Gives you both positional and trades-in-hand advantage

To go, or for a starting place?

Kelly if the latter

Starting place.

NRLPhysio on Twitter, who seems to know his stuff, says 12-16 weeks for MCL recovery, which puts Gray at May at the earliest. Who knows with Madge though, he'd probably play someone on crutches.

Bloody second night without power.

Haven't properly looked at trades. Was thinking of ditching Musgrove but no cheap options look appealing so might just hold on for a week and now for the best

I think you're right. I think the crapshoot that is the CTR and WFB position can be too unpredictable to waste 2 trades on.

I will start Kelly and Suli and save the 2 trades.
