2017 NRL.com Fantasy thread part 42

my tv broke wrote:Lillyman had been averaging 145 metres a game up until about rnd 8 or 9. not sure how he's gone since that. I can't say I watch many warriors games to say that they are 'good' metres or not. In the one game i took notice he went pretty well.

Kevy has maintained all along that he would stick with the players that won it last year (at least for game one) so I expect that leaked team is pretty much as expected.

Actually that is quite impressive re Lillyman.

I saw the "alleged" leaked NSW team a few days ago ill post that up too. Its in my phone somewhere. Basically hes stayed loyal to a losing formula if true. Jennings, Merrin and Farah were there. Vaughan 18th man. NO JDB

I don't get the 'Loyal to losers' policy Daley has. It's true that NSW haven't lost all these series on account of them being shit, rather they've been playing a QLD side with 3 Immortals and some other truly exceptional players for all that time. However when you get outplayed time and time again, you got to make some changes.

On the other hand your leaked list might have an error with the loyal losers though seeing as Merrin didn't play Origin last year. Was a brilliant pick up for me in Round 18 or whenever it was last year.

I put Merrin in that list because he has been a big part of the NSW pack over the last few years and although he has played better the last 2 club games, he was horrible in the test and has been horrible the majority of the year. Guys like JDB, Turbo and Vaughan deserve to be there in his place and are not because of the loyalty Daley shows to guys that have been there before, unsuccessfully, albeit against a great team. This is all a valid argument of course if this is indeed the lineup? I dont get how you dont change things when players are playing out of their skins like the 3 i have mentioned.

Some on here like me own both SJ & RTS. I realise the frustration with their output lately especially RTS but as you know the bye period is historically where the Warriors pick it up & gather points & the individual performances also pick up so as the Warriors supporters say "keep the faith."

So did we get to the bottom of the Warriors v Dragons player score updates or were the updates actually done but not many scores changed.

Lillyman shits all over Myles these days.

Myles should be checked into an old folks home.

Does anyone on here actually think Aaron Woods is a good footballer ?

To me he is just a slow plodder who offers no impact and most footballers who play front row would perform similar numbers if given the opportunities he has.

I would much rather him play origin for NSW then someone like Paul Vaugahn.

He's not as bad as people think but he's nowhere near as good as experts make him out to be. Solid metre gainer, rarely put on his back and has a good offload but can't dent the line at all.

I'm aware of that. However I am still looking at selling RTS for the run home.

I was about to trash the reliability of this team for still including Greg Bird at 14.
Checked myself.

As a QLD supporter, in the year that is probably our weakest (injured Thurston, no Inglis, no Parker, carrying Myles), it still looks good for a series win.

When Woods first debuted in the nrl I had him in my fantasy team & he was scoring at the level of the guns with consistent 50's & 60's. Since then he has gradually declined. He used to offload a lot & he doesn't even do that anymore. Now all he is is a big body & as you say a slow plodder. I think he has declined because of the club he plays for which has inhibited him & because he has to do the job of 2 props. Because of this he has to play more minutes than he should be playing & he has become stale & fatigued.

Well looks as though when I tested the swapping out of smith for McInnes for the captains loophole the reserve option didn't stay on McInnes so I guess that's my punishment. My own stupid mistake but who would your 4th reserve be out of Adam Elliot and frawley? Looks like I will be taking a 20 point hit lol

Only got Hayne playing in this one so its a bit of a deathride game for me:

Taupau
Jarrod Wallace
Sironen
Winterstein
Kelly
JTurbo
Walker
Uate

...

Does anyone actually have DCE in their team?

That's exactly why Hayne should be playing fb

Fucking Uate.

Literally immediately after posting who I'm deathriding

Kelly matched last weeks score already.

Completely agree.
It's an issue of trying to get your best 17 players on the field vs playing them where they need to be playing.
Roberts is not a fullback but the theory is that his combination with Taylor is too good to leave him out.

It's either him or Elgey in the halves, not both with playing Roberts at fullback. don't agree ith it.

Manly poor ball handling.
No shit, they were all caught holding their dicks.
