2017 NRL.com Fantasy Thread Part 47

Is anyone else considering Moylan at all? Should eventually receive dual WFB/HLF status. Could be a POD of sorts as he currently only has 7% ownership.

Lots of Cleary talk - what about DCE?

What a fucker.  Thought Seggy was quite a few weeks away.  Brailey hopefully good to round 20.

Show's you how seriously some coaches are taking the naming of extended squads.

Aiming to bring in Fifita and Brown next week as I need the 3 trades to afford Fifita.

Would give me a team of

C. Smith (c) NPR
A. Fifita, J. Graham, (J. Paulo) NPR
J. Taumalolo, P. Gallen, S. Burgess, (A. Crichton), (N. Brown) NPR
S. Johnson, A. Reynolds, (C. Walker) NPR
J. Leiulua, J. Hayne, T. Fuimaoano, NPR
J. Rapana, J. Tedesco, R. Tuivasa Sheck, S. Radradra, NPR

Does everyone think Fifita and Brown is a good option or maybe bringing in Vaughan and De Belin might be better?

The funny thing with Bodene is his output is actually very similar to the last couple of years-he is just not getting the tries and associated TB's at the moment. His base stat average for the last 5 games is 44, but no tried and only 2 TB's.

A couple of tries and he is averaging 50 odd instead of 40 for the last 5 rounds.

Not saying they are coming, and I am trading him due to byes, but I don't actually want to.

Why such faith in Bodene mate?  Really curious.  I'm trading him for either Tolo or Gal so it has to be done, but could he actually produce something against the Titans?

Maybe because I missed him the last couple of years and now I own him he is average, haha.

Nah, I think with a couple of tries he can get his average closer to 50. I can't hold him though with his byes.

Looked great on the weekend. Gun shy with his previous Fantasy years but haven't really looked at his positions played percentages though. The vast majority he has been at fullback or am I wrong?

No I think you are right. I think last week was his first time playing in the halves in the NRL (aside from origin). Then again maybe he has played there previously once or twice however I cannot recall him doing so.

Hmm Stew and SI online at around about the same time.. interesting

Which trade should i make?

Pritchard > McInness
or
Whitehead > Lolo

Had planned to do both this week before Pritchard decided to go to sleep after getting 6 points.
Thinking i might have to dump Kaysa before he loses to much more with his high BE and Will Smith on the bench will probably take his minutes? Cant see him subbing on any of the halves.
Thoughts?

Everyone jumping on Lolo1 is gonna break his back. I am steering clear.

I reckon Edwards is more appealing than Lolohea if you can go without the DPP

For bye coverage? Money-making? Points?

Can't see either of them being a keeper but happy to be proved wrong especially if it's Edwards (got him in last week and was umming and ahhing about it at $200k)

Bloke is lucky I don't ban him for that time on Sportal he "exposed my 'dick'tion as being inferior".

Is Lolohea likely to keep his spot with Brooks back? Would hate to jump on him just for Brooks to push him out of the squad in R15.

Feels good feeling ahead enough that I can use DEdwards as a cash out for Cotric. Costs me $100K over a pure cash out, but it gives me 4 playing WFBs going into the run home, which effectively gives me a coverage player in both WFB and Halves (as Walker and Munster can both sub into the halves if needed). Plus, it's a decent scorer in R18 and R19.

Looking at going
Cotric -> Edwards
Whitehead -> Tlolo

Gives me a full squad of:
Friend McInnes
Graham Fifita McGuire Yates
Gallen Surgess Crichton TLolo Merrin Elliot
SJ Walker Frawley NBrown
SMat Hayne Suli Fui
Holmes Slater RTS Edwards MWZ
$36K ITB, 12 trades left

Looking at Munster for next week, probably for Slater, and cashing out Frawley for DPP. Yate to Gurgess or Bromwich is possible if one of them impresses me.

Any rush to bring in TLolo? I have the cash and thinking of upgrading Stone. This leaves me with 9 trades left though. It would be a very stacked forward

McGuire, Graham, Brown
Surgess, Critchton, JDB, Gallen, AElliot, Stone or TLolo

Byes are kind of irrelevant if comparing these two.. both have one to go, and both are in one of the big bye rounds.

I reckon edwards will average higher than lolohea, so its a yes to both of the latter I suppose.

As a non Taumalolo owner I am jumping on his back and death riding him like...
