2017 NRL.com Fantasy Thread Part 58

Stuffness wrote:Hi all,

First year doing fantasy and i've been reading this forum all season so big thanks to everyone's input throughout and congrats to what seems like everyone who is doing better than me lol. I gave up on overall by origin 2 and have been building towards the best H2H team i can manage. Trades made this week were SJ > Cleary and Merrin > Tolo.

Rank: 4892
3 Trades and 161k remaining after this weeks trades.
Proposed trade for next week is RTS > Pearce via Munster.
Leaving me with 2 trades and 15k (based on current prices) for the run home and decent DPP for cover.

Anyone see any better trade options or do these look solid?
I know my centres are a bit weak but i believe there's more points on offer going rts to pearce than say scott/croker to turbo. (RTS to tank without SJ)

Final Team:
CS9 McInnes
NBrown PVaughan (JBrom Fai)
Tolo Crichton Gallen JDB Surgess McGuire
Cleary Pearce (Lolohea Laybutt)
Croker/Cscott if named Hayne (Cscott/Croker Fuimaono)
Dedwards Munster Slater (Isaako Fogarty)

For those curious, the rules would be something like pick a six-side team like you do with a match-day team... of players you think will take the field but won't score tries.

ie:

HK: McCulloch
FRF: Lillyman
2RF: Fuimaono
HLF: DCE
CTR: Joe Wardle
WFB: Hopoate


Points would be something like 5 points for a WFB who doesn't score a try, 4 points for a CTR, 3 points for a hooker or half, 2 points for a prop and 1 point for anyone who starts off the bench. No captains. 0 points if your player doesn't take the field or doesn't play that week.

Person with the lowest score after x-rounds wins.

Keep Wallace. He's at least good for 40 every week which is not really the case with RTS

What's wrong with that team mate, it's all round solid. Either of those trades you listed are solid.  Maybe even RTS to Teddy?  Fui to Turbo is also an option.  I'd get Turbo or Teddy before upgrading Wallace at this stage though.

I thought I had a chance when Johnson went down Wolfie, not to be. Hingano looks like the sub
for Luke and Lino.

THEGAME wrote:Hey guys, a couple of questions

Do you play Moylan or J Manu (Manu against Knights)

Also pick a 4th R Moylan/Manu, Tui or Fui?

I'm deciding between the 3 bold ones. At the moment, I have no idea.

If you've got smith, why are you considering anyone else?
