2017 NRL.com Fantasy thread part 40

Bit quiet in here after a great night of footy.

No helpfu sods posting updates either

I might leave Kaufusi for another week so I can have a better idea of how he fits into the team with Tohu back.

At this stage I might just downgrade Idris to Fui next week if nothing else pops up.

Sitting on 778 with 3 to play, Norman, SMat and Cotric. Slipped back a bit in the rankings, cost myself a top 10 spot by making Brailey my last reserve instead of KNik.

Can't be to critical though, KNik is still making loads of cash.

I feel a big game coming on from the Raiders centres. Time to kick into gear, lads.

Kaufusi straight swap to Graham is a no-brainer to me but I think he could wait another week. Does anyone know what sort of BE Graham is looking at after this week's 50?

Around 60 well within his scoring range

So assuming he drops some coin this week with his BE of 83, Kaufusi stays about the same with his BE of 27, a trade in 2 weeks should still only cost no more than 30k. Not too bad.

Jackson Hastings at around 160k with a shot at the starting fullback spot at Manly will be interesting. B/e of around 50 next week so should have a week to wait and see how he does. Be a nice cash out for Hampton since he seems to actually be making some cash

Stone being it forces me to choose between Yates and Lamb as last reserve.. Thoughts?

Good call MS. If this pans out & he starts he'll be a great cash out to beef up my ctrs.

I hope cotric and leilua get 80+ next game, and I'm a knights fan..
Having an absolute stinker of a round..

definitely interesting proposition and something i will be keeping eye on.

Only minor problem for me is only available as a half, be more appealing if could be straight swap to wfb/ctr - has he started/played any games this year to give him a headstart on dpp, assuming not.

I would probably go Yates.

I sold Lamb this week so due a blinder. Yates benched but I think I would still R Yates and hope for the best.

Time to flex with my boys... im 875 with only Browne to go. Up to 9th.

I am a Tturbo owner

Mass changes for the Knights. The most noteable is Gagai to f/b with Elliot out & Yates to bench.
I don't know if Elliot was dropped or injured but Gagai at f/b has peaked my interest if he doesn't play origin because he would be 1 ctr I would consider for my team if his move to f/b was permanent.

I gave you a thumbs up Rev because that is an outstanding effort.

Cheers WL. Motivated to hold the place and have a crack this year. But definitely dropping today with only Browne.

I'm playing Lamb today & hope he performs better in the 2nd half. The last 2 weeks at half time he's been on about 20 points but in the 2nd half he has done basically nothing. Jeez I'd even settle for a score in the 30's so I hope the team steps it up today & finishes strongly. Of course they're playing the Raiders & on paper the Raiders should thrash the Knights but I'm hoping the Knights home crowd brings the best out of them.

That's a cracking effort Revsie! Nice bloke!Ride the slide for sure today but can't see you dropping outside the top 100 unless a few lads go big

I offloaded Lamb this week for Munster. Best decision I made all season. Near worst one was starting with Lamb

I wish you the best of luck on that mate after you singlehandedly rescued my round by convincing me Niko was the best last reserve pick!
