2017 NRL.com Fantasy Thread Part 22

Surgess annoying but pretty happy with my 3 Roosters, JWH, Latrell and Aubs.

First two should update a little (sure Mitchell got zero points for bumping off Talaki then throwing a miracle touchline offload) while Aubusson? 42 points as his absolute floor for a centre where he did nothing but tackle and cart the ball in a few times. I'll take that along with the occasional 10-20 point attacking play in more open games, especially with the centre carnage this year. Black widow my arse.

You had Mitchell who had a great game, scored 48 and will probably update.
FFS.

Haha yeah sorry man, I didn't mean to trivialize our matchup. Just missing that nice even 50... A 50 really is the perfect number for a gun CTR/WFB. Satisfyingly upper-par.
I bet you are thinking he might update by 5-10. I would be happier if he updated 2.

Why was the footy show having a proper discussion about footy??


You're not Sterlo..

He'd rather it was a round 50 instead of a 53/58

Cordner about to lose another ~$20,000

If he wasn't nailed on for Origin he would be my next target

He'd be my first pick in second row in any real-life team, he's outstanding. Not quite translating to fantasy at the moment.

Wouldn't be far behind Friz in mine

Even though Musgrove was a NPR, I'm really happy that his money making skills are back in action. Could be great for the byes too if he can keep a 35 average or so up.

Talakai was so bad. He looked good in his first game and got dropped, surely they would have someone else, don't see him playing again after that, even if the are short on troops.

Also, Cook should be the hooker, not Robbie.

Also, I think all this concussion stuff could wreck havoc for fantasy. Turns the game into even more of a pot luck IMO. Talakai looked gone for all money and comes back yet Surgess doesn't, WTF?!

You said you rated Frizell and Gillett above Cordner in the draft game?

In Talakais defense, he obviously isn't a defensive player, more of an attacking player, like someobdy else said, like Hurrell with his size. It felt like 3/4 of the time Rabbits had the ball they went down their left, with Talakai being on the right. They came right much more in the second half but all Souths really had to offer was use Reynolds to grubber it into the in goal and hope for a repeat set. Felt like 1/2 the time the Roosters just put the foot out, stopped the ball and re gathered. Souths had nothing in attack. One of Souths best tonight was Goodwin. I'm not a Goodwin fan by any stretch, I hate it when he plays for the Kiwis, but he has making good yardage out of his own end.

Good call mate, he didn't see much ball, they were doing a Moga on him.

Goodwin is so hit and miss, but he was great tonight. Turgess is as shit as his brother and Turner just offers nothing. Musgrove is great to watch and his place in the team is set, Madge should be working his minutes up, great player.

maybe the HIA test includes a spoken english component. No chance of Burgess passing that.

You made it sound like the gap was much bigger in the draft game, or was that because I had Cordner

Friz

Then throw a blanket over
Cordner
Harris
Gillett
Papalii

So this Smat to centres thing, just for one week? I was hell bent on moving him to centre at the expense of Suli, but maybe I hold the trade and see what happens?

Think Friz needs a blanket or a towel so he doesn't have to walk around in his speedos all the time

Are we seeing the beginnings of a rivalry between our 2 resident disturbed doll avatar posters?
