2017 NRL.com Fantasy Thread Part 32

Fuck me so R.Jacks is pretty much a lucky dip at this point in terms on minutes.

Unless there is a major injury/suspension it seems like coaches are photocopying the weekends starting line ups, add returning players to extended benches then make any changes 1 hour before kick-off. TLT is useless, except the first one of the year, the rest are a waste of time.

I predict Kaufusi to J.Bromwich will be a very popular trade in a couple of weeks.

Maybe so, but I'm sitting on the other side of the fence thinking "Why would I want JBrom (Or any previous year gun who is crashing this year eg Merrin) in my team if they aren't scoring.

It's all good and well saying you want Player X in your team, but until they start putting the points on the board, I'm staying away.

James Maloney 46 missed tackles. Wow

Only noticed him because he's goal kicking half from a bye friendly team who has dropped 80k now. Shame

I'm with Finch here. Kaufusi only becomes a trade if he's losing minutes due to Tohu, which for memory it would be K Bromwich who would lose minutes.

Plus F. Kaufusi plays rounds 15 & 18. I reckon that K-Brom will drop to the bench when Harris returns & Kaufusi will continue to play 80 mins on the right edge.

Don't sweat it on Frawley man. I've been to the last few Dogs games and he's been a game changer every time he's come on. Last week's 10 doesn't do justice to just how much better the Bulldogs look with a genuine half.

So I expect he'll stick around in the team for the long term, and should be able to make some cash. He should average much better than 10.

Yeah I think it's more just Des fucking around and not starting a gun thats annoying. I'm sure Frawley will start before the year is out. He looks class, I know his 10 last week is about the worst he will get.

Yeah, reckon he'll play Proctor's role. So maybe not 80 every week because Tohu will play 80 when up to speed, but at least 60+. Keeper until Round 18 at least.

Well trades are a toss up this week. No must haves sticking out for me.

When did Auvaa pop up though lol

Had .Bromwich in my team since day one. Purchased as a set and forget forward. No points to talk about, down $140 + K.
Cant bring myself to trade him (lost to much) but would not bring him in now if I had the option

Not a must trade in, but I think Jacks is a must trade out this week.

 I have Jacks and Musgrove.

Think they are my priorities this week.

Because I can't decide between BJ and Turbo cos of origin should I just bring in Hayne in a straight swap for R.Jennings? Yay or nay?

BJ will absolutely not play Origin this year.

T Turbo is about 25/75 no to making the Origin side.

G'day all,
First post - but I just want to acknowledge all of the comments, opinions and research that goes on to make this a great site.
My team has scored 989 and 1035 over the past 2 rounds. Unfortunately beaten for overall in the last round by 5 points - the guy had James Roberts.
I am ranked 145 from 4000 2 weeks ago and it is thanks to a lot of luck and the advice on this forum.
Keep up the great work.

God I wish I wasn't so impatient! Slow cash cows are a pain.. hahaha

Leary and Hampton trades are looking diabolical now.

Does anyone have any news on JFHs shoulder injury?

Welcome mate. Great work on the scores & rank. By the looks of your scores you should be giving us advice.
