2017 NRL.com Fantasy Thread Part 29

Just be careful if you are buying Crichton. He is worth it if he plays 80, however look at his stats from previous week. If I was thinking of buying him next week, I would still do it though.

He actually reminds me of a Matt Gillet type player, just a bit smaller.

I would also prioritize going for round 12 players. The 2 exceptions are CHN & Ponga who will be excellent cash cows with an extended run of games but they have risk of not getting such games. From that list I would go for Cook, CHN, Hodgson, Crichton, Whitehead, Leilua, Frawley & Ponga.

I agree. If you haven't already, now is the time to start building a team for the byes. Graham/Surgess are going to be gold.

Any rain in Auckland today?

I have Surgess & if Fifita & McGuire play origin then 1 of them will become J. Graham. I'm actually hoping Fifita doesn't get picked for origin as non-origin Sharks players have great byes. I know we say this every but Tolman has the ability to match J. Graham & if you can't stretch your funds to J. Graham then Tolman will be a great buy as well. Better still get both J. Graham & Tolman.

Overcast but should stay dry

I'm thinking of bringing tolman over graham currently getting same minutes and scoring similar for a lot less probably going Hess to tolman

Spending a hour doing chores after a 1 hour lecture about rocking home absolutely smashed

...these Sunday games better be bloody good

Any reason to not bring in Crichton next week? I'm thinking of going Stimson to Crichton a fts my only trade tomorrow.

I'll probably go Whitehead and Frawley

I need to strengthen my ctrs,wfb's so might go for Leilua so I can move Cotric to wfb for a bit of depth to cover Ponga.

Afoa played NSW Cup right? That must mean Bodene is good to go then. Good news for those who traded him in.

If there is one thing i have learned and implement,  its that a guy must have possession of his own balls. YOLO and coming home late a lil' pickled once in a while in no way tinkers with a family. Its usually just the balls thing and wanting control for no actual reason.


Anyway...... lets hope Cam and Fiffy and Gallen bang out 60+ efforts today !

I thought we all had our chance to get crighton weeks ago, dont see the point now Esp with madge seemingly losing it.

Last reserve out of F. Kaufusi or Jacks. I think Maloney defends on the left edge (could be wrong) which is F. Kaufusi's edge so I might go him. Thoughts & thanks.

477 with five to play

Smith (c)
Kaufusi
RTS
Johnson
BT

Not quite where I wanted to be but some big games from BT and Johnson would be nice.

Just saw footage of a horrible dislocated finger in the u20s. Fucking gross.

11 down for 573... Capt Cam, Fiffy, Gallen, Jacks, RTS & SJohnson remain. Warriors to win today, with SJ going bananas.

Wally Lewis just said hunt injury seems to be fairly bad, niko might be a good bye

Dislocated my finger once playing cricket and I tried multiple times to snap it back into place without any luck. Ended up having to wait in the hospital for over an hour and a half till they could surgically put it back into place. Fun times.

I need to pick the final 2 players for this round from Slater, RTS, Jacks or Faufusi - who would you choose?

Kaufusi has scored 40+ on more occassions, so would go with him

Not cool, which finger?

Seen tonnes of them playing indoor netball (awesome fun sport but you'd be surprised how brutal it is).
Usually pretty easy to put back in place unless its a bad dislocation. :-/

Often if you don't pop it back in quickly, the muscles seize up and make it a lot harder/more painful.

I had surgery on my thumb a few years ago now and it'll never be the same. Don't even know how it happened but realised it had been hurting for a couple of weeks and when I went to get it checked out, they told me I had torn the ligament off the bone and broken part of the bone off in doing so.

I felt like I must be dumb as a brick to not know that I had done that. :-/
