And faufusi almost a keeper? Just worried how harris is gonna effect him.

Kniko, without his try, how was he going?

Tofu plays on Kbrom side who's only averaged 64 mins so far. No reason he doesn't go to bench and Tofu Faufusi both play 80

Niko 35pts based stats but flawless game. No missed tackles etc. I may get in for the likes of Suli but I have 27 trades left. I think that's around the minimum you should have to be chasing him

Definitely agree on everything re Whitehead. I was one of the skeptics. Not that I didn't think Whitehead could do it, just that I wanted to see him produce a 50+ score without tries. Now I am more comfortable in picking him up. It was either lose a few thousand dollars or end up with another dud scorer.

White Lightning wrote:The only negative re K-Nik is you'll have to use another trade to sell him or else he'll be an a.e. nightmare down the track. Mind you I can't remember what the $ value is for a trade but if K-Nik scores 40+ each game he could make 150k making the trade worth it. It's probably safer going with Frawley because he's probably nailed now at h/b & has better base stats due to km's. My first trade this week will probably be Jacks to Frawley. I'll need an extra reserve option with Surgess looking at a 2 match ban.

I'm not an expert in this area but apparently the 8pts from previous round will put the brakes on his money making potential so that 150k could be optimistic

Same. Would've got this week but had to get Crichton and felt right time Lamb>Milf. 61k itb will almost certainly do Siro>Pimple this week

Mighty Fishes wrote:Jbrom at that price just seems to juicy but I cant pull the trigger. Just worried that with Welch and Glasby getting more minutes that might be what goes on for Jbrom. Especially when Harris comes back. He and Kaufusi should be 80min players. Lord Dale will play big minutes and I think Kbrom and Glasby will still play big minutes from the bench. Might be the norm form Jesse now

Fantasy aside, surely JBrom when fit is still the same player he was? And if thats the case presumably he returns to the same role he has typically played over the last couple seasons? I reckon it's injury with him and he will come right soon and therefore is gonna be the next massive value buy! But the good thing is he has lost so much $ that you can be conservative and wait till he puts in at least one good (high minutes) performance before buying him. And if you are correct in that others are gonna take his minutes etc and he may have a lower fantasy production this year then you just wont ever pull the trigger.

I reckon he's one to keep a real close eye on though aye! I'm hoping he gets there any way cause I'd like to have him in my team for the bye rounds.

Gets named on extended bench most weeks.

138k DPP

Awesome, thanks, I'll look into him!

Brisbane only play one big bye round and their front row rotation shouldnt be affected unless Sims got a call up but i think thats unlikely. So Blair, ese ese, sims, and pangai jnr will all still be available, as will alex glenn.

SuA and Arrow are the two most likely to play big mins in round 12.

Fai probably comes onto the bench but i doubt he gets any serious game time.

3 minutes ahead of the real news... That gotta mean that Cartwright is in right?

I have made my first 'scoop' to be sure. I will have a "feline's first" column in a matter of weeks!!

In another potential scoop it seems like the Fantasy site is down.. I really want to take the R off CHINA.

Any tips?

No Carty was ruled out the other day. Tim Browne in for CHN apparently

Seems like it will not be a very successful column then

When I first joined Sportal Rabbit really helped my team out & was exremely helpful to others as well & he's still doing it. That's why I'll always have his back. A lot of the time he'll say something controversial just to get bites. He's straight up & honest & every forum needs these kind of posters to make it interesting. It would be pretty boring if everyone was nice & polite & pc.

Certainly not knocking his contribution to the forum WL, he is a seasoned campaigner and it's great having club faithfuls around with inside info and thoughts / expectations. Just thought he was an unusual example of respecting others opinions / thoughts and his downvotes generally come when he is on a tear, which is good to watch from afar and breaks up the A v B trade talk. I wouldn't think he gets downvoted unnecessarily when he is being a friendly Rabbit, could be wrong though, story of my fantasy season thus far.

Just caught up with the thread... a fair bit of reading material... Fanhub favourites, Prozone picks... I totally understand... Where the hell is Aubusson's try assist?

Bummer about CHN...
I'll have to take Yates' 19 as an AE

With Cartwright being out I was hopeful of him getting another run, making a little more cash.

Bloody fanhub Prozone conspiracy

I love lamp

So anyone got any Fantasy related questions while I am floating around here at the moment?

Yeah I was wondering that too. Is there a definition for a TA somewhere?

How many trades do you have and how many is a safe number to have at this stage. I have 26.
