2017 NRL.COM Fantasy Thread 53

I brought in Eisenhuth and put him in my starting 13. Checked at half time and he's not even in my 17. I'll still get him as an AE, but I can't loophole SJ now.

Totally unrelated but the last 4 minutes of the Swans game was phenomenal. What a collapse from Essendon.

Suli is rubbish. The fact I had to keep him because Teddy didn't play hurts a lot now. Gonna lose another 20k and be almost worthless now.

I missed the dogs game but are we thinking graham is just a 40-45 pt player now ? It *feels* like that may be the case.

Had hoped ET would kick on with another good score, but not the case. Was my only true POD in the forwards, though I knew hed come to an end. Makes it an easier sell for rnd 18 at least.

christ i've gotten some luck with my VC/C choices this year, threw the VC on the Keptin just to put it on some-one that played before Captain Tolo, i'm at a bit of a crossroads now though, by the looks of things Maloney will be playing, but if he doesn't brown will fuck the loophole over.

was going to go Wallace - Graham but i think i'll scrap that now, only going to be an 18th man anyway, plans now are to get Cleary and Teddy in soon to complete my final team with 3 trades left, or get creative and bring in Pearce and Teddy and have 2 trades left for the run home...

ET

Happy to have got rid of Suli. For so much of this week he survived in my team.

Lolohea can keep gettin his 30s a lil while longer before his time is up.

Greetings fellow ET holders.

After that score I won't feel so bad when it comes to cashing out.

Nice 21 point upgrade.

Yep thats the silver lining for me but damn, a 50 would of been nice

Why didn't you just pick Mannering as captain?

Had ET the whole year. So close to averaging 50 but then a game like this happens. I traded J Wallace out too who scores about the same and had DPP but personal preference made me keep Taylor.

I'll hold him as long as I can but yeah Round 18 seems like a good time for an upgrade. I trust ET more than that fucker Graham though

Not a bad start to the week with Jayne RTS and JWal, certainly better than i was expecting given i likely would have traded Hayne to SJ this morning had i the time. Sometimes ass is more important than class.

Thanks (C) Mannering.

I am up to 895th spot at least temporarily

382/7 including MWZ's mighty 6 points before updates

I'll be honest I was thinking the concept of buying Woods as a POD when bought up earlier was silly and wasn't worth considering. Then I looked at his recent average compared to Graham and the light bulb went off in my head.  

I mean is this potentially something that's going to lure me into a trap though? In 2016 as I do well to constantly rant about I picked Woods over Graham and it cost me dearly. Now I can possibly reverse that situation in 2017. That or it's going to happen all over again. Hmmmm food for thought

Didn't see either of the games but it looks like I was right at least initially to trade out Graham for Eisenhuth lol. Missed James 52 but Fifita will be worth it in the long run. Mannering is looking very tempting now for when I upgrade Brown(if I do at all) 210/4 so far
