2017 NRL.COM Fantasy Thread 55

At least my boy Lamb could play this week if the foxsports team lists are to be believed. If he does play it takes me to 12 players. I actually saw L. Brown hurt his knee in the Warriors game but he played on so I thought no big deal. I'm now thinking of going B. Smith to C. King with L. Brown out. I will then go McInnes to CS9 in round 20 & run with 1 gun hooker.

those teamlists are useless to be honest.

I'm eyeing off McInnes to Cam Rd20. I allready have King but I'm thinking I'll hold a trade through till Rd 25. I will only have 3 trades after this round.

Is anyone running a single hooker option but will be out of trades come Round 20/21 ish?

After the King trade I'll have 4 left. I want to spend 2 trades getting another gun 2fr like Mannering/J-Trbo/JDB but I could go cheaper & get J. Papalii/Merrin.

No joke here no Lewis Brown is a pretty big blow for my team. I am just less than 90 points ahead of 2nd place in my league and even just those 60-70 extra points over the next two rounds could have put a nice buffer between them and I. Oh well c'est la vie

RE KFP, I msged him on ultimate because he always sends me crappy trade deals to come back and then the kent cancelled his trade request then ignored my message.

Class A Kent.

That's weird I hope he's ok. I miss my old pal.

Seriously considering Lachie Fitzgibbon.

Give me reasons not to bring him in.

Barnett might get suspended but you'd think at full strength Sione, Barnett & Buhrer will start & because teams don't usually carry a 2fr on the bench he could be out of the 17. Funny you should mention him because I was reading a Knights forum & they were bagging him. Calling him a dumb mofo giving away silly penalties & some guy said he was the same in u20's & reserve grade & that he cost the team a few wins because he gives away dumb penalties all the time.

Fitzgibbon was shit in defence last week and got ripped into on twitter about it. I can't see him starting over Buhrer for much longer.

Lol yeah this too.

Whare, the guy I brought in last week and relied on him this week in my starting team, is now out for 4 weeks with a fractured jaw.

The carnage in my team recently makes me want to delete my team.

Yeah he's been named at and started half 4 times now, so should've been added after lockout. FailHub with the fail again as usual.

Also on the Knights forum they want Cogger & Lamb to start. Apparently they played a lot of football together coming up the grades & have that 6th sense with each other because of this. Both also had great games in reserve grade & both contributed to a big win on the weekend. Every choice of the halves in the "pick my team thread" had both of them starting in first grade this week but in reality Brown may have different ideas.

That's 2 prime cash out options that play both rounds 18 & 19 gone. If history of past years is anything to go by from now is when all the injuries start mounting up.

Be interesting to see who takes the place of both Whare and LeBrown.

My guess:
- Peachey centre.
- Jarrod kennedy 2rf.

Would of been nice if kennedy was a little cheaper.

Running only 1 hooker will give me a heart attack. I guess CKing isn't a bad fallback option to have if your gun hooker is a late scratching. He looks like a pretty solid player last week

Yep, planning to run the single hooker option with 6 2nd rowers (Gal, Angus, JDB, Taumalolo, Surgess, Mannering)

low on trades... 4 after this round with just over 400k ITB for upgrades

King will be the fallback option... hopefully he'll build up his minutes
