2017 NRL.com Fantasy thread part 40

I dont have dpp for turbo and having 3 red dots in my backs means id have to play Fuimaono till he comes back. Only having 16 trades left ive given up on the byes so can only bring in final 17 players and cash outs

Read somewhere Jason Clark had a high ankle sprain in the game, could open the door for Musgrove again? Also how many errors does Turgess need before he gets dropped?

I intended to carry Turbo through the rd 12 and 15 byes anyway and should be able to cover for rd 11 and 14 but it fucks me for 13 I think

Reviewing ankle mechanism, high ankle (syndesmosis) injury of concern for Tom Trbojevic. Still hoping for MCL/meniscus & no ACL involvement

JUST IN: James Fisher-Harris could miss next week's game against the Knights with a strained hamstring



CHN to tear up against the Knights would be great before I punt him!

What happened to Sam Stone? Did he get hurt or just dropped out of the team altogether? Seems strange he goes from starting to out. I thought I was smart taking Cook out of my 17 but now I'll cop his 12 via AE.

Kaufusi looks to have peaked with a mid 50's b/e next week and Tohu slotting back into the 80 minute slot. Was always going to happen as Proctor used to average around 70 minutes and was a much better player
CHN looks to be in the same situation with a minutes drop and a high 30's b/e

Should have about 100k leftover after Kaufusi>Graham and CHN>JDB/Brown

679 with Brown, SMat, Norman and Cotric to go. 875 odd would be accepted st this stage


Losing Turno hurts.

Not sure what will be more of a priority trade out next week, fkaufusi , tturbo, CHN or jwallace

NRL Physio retweeted that James Fisher Harris could be out next week with a hammy, so I'm going to hold CHN for sure. He won't have done too much damage to his low BE either, so should be ok for moneymaking still.

Edit - Should have seen Mulvy's post above...

Have to keep big brother happy

@ Manlybeaver. Good onya mate. You beat me last week & it looks like you'll beat Chewie. Very unlucky you've lost T-Trbo last night. Better still if you do go on & beat Chewie I will slip into first place in L51 as I have the upper hand in my h2h although I could still lose it:

Me = +76 - Cotric, Lamb, N. Brown
No C In Tagataese = Yates, Whitehead, Norman

Currently on 703 with Cotric, Lamb & N. Brown to play. I'll be happy to crack 800.
Haha the best part of the score upgrades was Kelly upgrading to 12 points. I really need to improve my ctrs this week as Kelly, Talakai, Idris & R. Jennings is not good.

Tom has made the same number of errors as Crighton this season and is averaging more run meters. One is a fantasy king other one a .............

The ctrs I'm looking at for round 11:
Leilua, Croker, Hurrell, Peachey

If Leilua or Croker show no form today I'll get Hurrell & Peachey even though they don't play round 12. Hurrell has really been putting out the scores with consecutive 50's in the last 2 weeks. Hopefully Hook will realise Whare is rubbish & start Peachey.

Need POD Leilua to step up today to salvage the round

So unsure what to do with Faufusi next week. It's just one bad score and reduced minutes for the year. Could come back to bite people if he has a blinder next week plus he has good bye coverage.

If you can swap him for someone like Graham who has the same bye coverage and is more of a keeper than why not?

I won't be selling F. Kaufusi as he plays rounds 15 & 18. I think he was dragged due to his error rate. Bellamy wouldn't of been happy when the first think Kaufusi did in the second half was drop the ball. I just think it was a one off bad game from him & he'll start next week & play 80 mins.

Had a think about my trades and decided to do things a little differently. If I bring in Graham and Brown next week I'll have most of the bye friendly forwards except for Surgess who also misses 13. If I bring in Surgess I will be short on players in round 13 so he is off the table for the moment. This allows me to take a look at Origin teams and the result from game 1 before moving Fifita out in round 13 for JDB who then plays 2 of the remaining 3 big byes (12/15/18/19 I treat as big byes)

I think he will slip into Proctor's old role now that Harris is back. Sometimes 60 minutes sometimes 80 minutes for an average around 70. If you can swap him for someone that also plays 2 big byes(particularly if it is round 12) it gives you a little bit more time to figure out how to get some extra players in the extra round he misses

Doing the same with Fifita. There's enough uncertainty to not trade out too early. If it looks likely he will be in the team all series I'll be looking at someone like Taupau or Harris via Brown as great PODs for the byes who will already have had 1 bye

Fisher-Harris breaks down again
Panthers back-rower James Fisher-Harris is a man down on luck. Fresh after a return from a shoulder complaint, the 21-year-old left the field at half-time and Panthers coach Anthony Griffin said he was unlikely to line up for next Sunday's clash with Newcastle.
"[Fisher-Harris] just can't get through a game at the moment," Griffin said after the match.
"He's got a strained hamstring which is disappointing."
