2017 NRL.com Fantasy thread part 49

I thought Lolohea wouldn't get named at f/b as his fitness levels wouldn't be high enough to handle it.

Lots of love in here for McInnes but doesn't seem to be much for McCullough.
With Niko out of the picture for a while I can see him going back to gun scores.

Probably because he doesn't play rounds 15 & 18.

yeh, but once milf is back, niko goes back to bench and theres question marks again, don't really want that kind of uncertainty in your final squad especially when there are hookers around his price and average with much better security

These team lists are not very exciting. I was hoping for a bit more fresh blood but it's too much just moving other players out of position.
Disappointed with Hawkins only on the extended bench. He's named in the extended squad every week so I was hoping he'd get a start this week.
And Capewell in the centres instead of 2nd row. Blah.

Who is the best cash out in the forwards? Eisenhuth? Never heard of him.

If you have 6 playing bodies in the 2rf, does that mean you can't captain any of them for the loophole?

ugh, i want to NPR Yates so i can just run with just Taupau and Fifita in my FRF, but i feel like i might need a 3rd if im carrying Taupau, hes been fine lately,but i know once i make that choice he'll go back to being either suspended or injured half the time.

It does sound like Fogarty will come into the Titans team this week if possible - http://www.nrl.com/mcqueen-named-at-five-eighth-for-titans/tabid/10874/newsid/108857/default.aspx

yeah i don't understand this - would of thought he would get named in the 17 for sure. maybe there will be some late switches.. ugh.

Tohu Harris was named out of position last week before being a late switch back to the pack. I'd say the same happens again. Unless of course Tohu is a decent centre

9 trades pre or post trading this week? In any case I'm on the prairie with you as I have 9 trades too but will use all 3 this week. Going balls to the wall and then hanging on for the slow (hopefully) slide back down the rankings.

Im the same as u mate, 9 atm but will most likely use 3 this week. Next year will be Rev's year, if i can sit inside top hunjy this year i will have done well considering i red lined it all the way.

I see his name has popped up on the titans #21 good call

I started with the Foghorn, would be gud to be able to run him out a few times.

Tohu played all over the park in years gone, was a Mr Maubs, wouldn't surprise me to see him stay there

If you could only have 1 in your final team, who would you choose out of Surgess and Taumalolo?

Taumalolo seems like the no brainer - higher average and lower price, but I'm not really convinced.
I don't know if it's just my lack of players for round 18 doing the talking, but I am leaning towards Surgess, against all other logic.

Who would you choose

Probably greeding hard and getting Brown in this week. Will put me on track for a final team of:

Smith (McInnes)
Fifita Graham (McGuire)
Surgess Gallen Tlolo (Crichton Merrin)
SJ Cleary
TTurbo SMat/Hayne
Edwards Munster Teddy

Reserves: CWalker, Nathan Brown, Lolohea

Seems excessive though. I have too many reserves. But I'm trying to maximise my number of available guns through Origin that means not sideways trading the keepers I already have.

Tossing up between the following trades.

Wallace to Tolo
Wallace to Brown.

Brown has better byes and is cheaper, tolo its tolo, and not brown.

Would leave me with a forward pack of

Vaughan, Graham, Gurgess, fai
Gallen, Surgess, Crichton, JDB, Tolo, Nuff.

Fogarty might be a better cashout than Laybutt. With how Titans go down he could see more game time going forward. DPP too.

There's literally no point have those 3 not in your final 17 if you can even afford which I find difficult to believe

I was going to trade in Kyle Laybutt until I realized he forgot to smile for his NRL Fantasy photo. After Jake Friend scored zero last week I don't need another player trying to bring down my squad with their negative vibe. Welcome to my team Jamal Fogerty.

God I hope not. This braggard on FB who has a great rank but terrible bye numbers has Fogarty

Is 15 gud for this round, pre trades ? Seems so
