2017 NRL.com Fantasy Thread Part 31

Rippin and Tearin wrote:Hey guys, I didn't get to watch much of any of the games las night so I have a quick couple questions:
1) did SMat play the whole game defending on the edge - tackle count is high so just wondered if the Knights rotation sent him into the middle for some time or not?
2) stats show Crichton played 77min, did he just just get spelled at the end or was there some injury concern? Also in footy terms (not fantasy) how did he go?
3) big minutes again for Wallace. Anything unusual to cause that? I noticed a poster or two trading him out this week but his minutes and scores are keeper territory aren't they? Especially with DPP.
Thanks in advance!

question 1. he was definitely defending in the middle at some point or at least one man in, but i would say only for 5 mins tops on two occasions. hard to say watching on tele. also seemed the roosters went down his edge more often which improved his points

Thanks mate. Looking like a keeper at C either way so long as he stays on the field for 80 huh?

Pick 1 please as my last reserve:
(a) F. Winterstein or
(b) CHN or
(c) Hampton

Thanks & go the Doggies.

1. Yes, there was certainly periods of Smat defending in the middle. Not for long, but there a few times.
2. Game was over, off for a rest. Solid footy player in footy terms, you take the tb's along with the errors....
3. Wallace got extended minutes again due to injury. King then James then Grevs

240/4 (no capt) is a great start for me and a welcome change from the last few weeks. Fingers crossed it keeps going. Big game to start saturday with tommy t, slater, (c)s9 and kaufusi.

Thanks mate, wow, ok that explains his minutes then So perhaps he is a trade out at some point once his price peaks, surely fantasy owners can't continue to get so lucky re his minutes. Thats a handful of games now where he's got inflated minutes due to injury right?

I hear he is in origin contention now too?

Might have to think about an upgrade plan at some point.

Not hard to find, but a good read.

The good thing about Wallace is there is no rush to trade him out but yeah prob a good idea to trade him to a bye friendly player over origin

I think j wallace has to play origin

The way he's going you'll be able to trade him to anyone

Allows you to change teams for each round so you can tinker with some trades

First impression that is pretty awesome, cheers for posting.

All good chaz, we worked through it.

Yeah I dunno why people went cold on JWallace all of a sudden. I'm jealous every single game that he lines up alongside James and usually outscores him. Would've went close again last night if Ese'ese didn't pull off the try save.

I even suggested him as a trade-in last week (instead of Sutton, but still, there aren't many gun-like players 400k and below right now).

The injuries keep coming for Titans, but even at full-strength, there's not a lot of stock in that forward pack other than him and James and he seems active enough on both ends to continue to score well.

No doubt coming off his season low of 38 last week and only a 4k price-rise influenced people to jump ship since he'd likely exceeded expectations. Wouldn't be going anywhere just yet if he were in my team though.

Carty officially ruled out apparently, but very likely to play next week, apparently that is from Hook.

Thanks!

Bummer about Frawley's score, he deserved more, I'm sure he'll pick up a few try assists in games to come.

I tool a punt on him, considering my other options were Jacks and Hingano. Didn't come off.

Captain hindsight would have chosen KNiko

Why are you upset with Lamb? He is a 30-40s player who scored 33. I have him in my team and wasn't expecting anything more than that. He is really just holding that ~300k pricetag steady until you can afford to get in a gun, is he not? Fair call on Cook and Walker though. I sold Brailey for Cook last week >_<

No, I'm moreso upset with myself as I intended on using the cash I made from Mez to upgrade Lamb to a gun half so more my own fault than anything.

Harawira-Naera or Cotric for the final R? As a bench player well I think I could expect 30's or so from CHN whereas Cotric can be a bit of a lottery as you don't know what Warriors team is going to turn up.

He reminded me of Gallen last night. Awesome game.
