2017 NRL.com Fantasy thread part 26

Is anyone else sick of this "big four" rubbish at the Tigers?

Apart from Teddy, how in the hell are any of those guys big anything?

No one is calling Thurston, Morgan and Taumalolo "the big three" at the Cowboys... they don't want to emulate the name of the Melbourne boys, why do commentators insist on doing this for the Tigers? What about the Warriors? Much more of a big four - please don't start calling them that though.

Really gets my goat.

and I'm really tempted by McInnes ---> Cook and then either Lamb ---> Norman or Hess ---> Gallen/JDB.

Obvs will wait to hear what the word is on Farah and judge by TLT.

1st one not so good, but second one will work out. Slater did nothing for his 27. Wait until he scores a couple of tries. Pretty sure when he was last playing they didn't have kick diffusals scored. He should average 40.

As long as bodene isnt injured and plays this week i reckon that while i may of jumped the gun on that trade it will be a decent one longterm. Probably just 1 trase this week in suli which will bring aubs into ctr. Overall happy with team, just feel short 1 gun on others

If Thurston, Morgan, Taumalolo and Coote all had their contracts finish at the same time, and were all managed by the same player manager, you can bet your arse they would be referred to as the big 4.

I doonnnntttt knnnooowwww lol

If you're stuck for trade ideas then don't make any - you're obviously doing well enough at present. If you save the trades till towards the end of the year you might pull off a miracle.

Goat? Moving on up in the world of four legged creatures.

Cook and Whitehead for me this week if all is as expected.

Only ideas at this stage.
Every chance he isn't named and gets a week's rest after his head knock and failed HIA.

Im new to the forum so been trying to wrap my head around the acronyms.

Can anybody help a brother out with the following:
AE
DDP
TLT

What's everyone's team value?

I've got $245k in the kitty, sitting at $7,986,000.

I really wanted to get T'lolo into the side this week but feel if Farah is injured then Cook has to be a trade in. Likewise if Frawley stays at HB - I might get him in. If he doesn't that'll be when I bring in JT'lolo

Auto Emergency - if one of your 17 drop out then you get the lowest scoring player in your team.
DDP - Diamond Dallas Page. I believe it's DPP, Dual Position Player. A player that can be selected in two slots.
TLT - Team List Tuesday, when the teams are announced and the inmates here go mental.

I'm happy with my team value. It's 8.13 mil with 53K in the bank yet I'm just scraping inside the top 12000???

TPG = That Penrith Guy (aka CHN)
KFP = Bren
KFB = Kung Fu Barbie

Sitting at $8,177,000 with 38k in the bank.

I will just bring in Cook for Brailey this week. Time to start saving some trades having using the maximum so far. Frawley is tempting but Lamb & Jacks are doing fine.

Obviously if Farah is fit and starts with Cook on the bench, Cook is a no go.  But what if Farah is fit, yet Cook keeps the number 9 jersey with Farah on the bench?  Would you still bring him in?

$834600, 6k itb currently ranked 2700.

I asked earlier but missed the answer. The sudden cook love, due to farah injury? Is there word on how long farah is out?

Frawley's kicking game was a huge improvement on anything the Dogs have had since Hodgo was there, would really like to see how the rest of his game goes on a dry track. The Dogs are built for wet weather. Id love to see them run Frawely/Mbye with Reynolds coming off the bench. If Frawely does get named it makes fantasy so much easier this week

No official word yet, was just a rumor it could be a fracture in his lower back. It's all speculation so far.
