2017 NRL.com Fantasy thread part 62

I think I'll stick with Smith against the Chooks this week for C. I think Smith should bounce back with 65-70 point game, should be a good one.

Yeh I'm going back to Smith this week.

Gal's 300th at Suncorp, haha. It seems fitting in a way.

Guess I have to play Hayne this week again with Munster out again. Becomes a real problem if he is out for more than just this week too,wouldn't want to have to trade him as I would have like 100k spare with no trades if I traded him to Tedesco etc. Really in a pickle as to how to use my last trade if injuries are kind

I would keep Munster as he should be back next week, however try and ignore the instinct to spend all the cash you have in the bank just because its there. I made the silly decision of trading in Fifita instead of Vaughan several weeks ago purely because I had an abundance of cash in the bank. Since then Fifita has dropped significantly in price while only scoring a combined 193 points versus Vaughan who has increased in price (and is now worth 4k more then Fifita) and scored a combined 239 points. That's nearly a 50 point difference in only a matter of 4 weeks.

I remember last year Munster picked up and injury a week after he got a 99 and he was only suppose to be out a week. he ended up being out 4-5 weeks. There was never a proper explanation and each week we were told that he should be back next week.

Will Nu Brown at hooker be worth not trading Munster for another week?

Nu will probably only play 40ish minutes.

His scores have been rubbish at hooker.

Who do I play Dwalker or Fuimaono as my second centre spot?

Last two weeks Walker has scored 8 and 9.

Fui

Rank them:

Fui vs Dogs
Scott vs Roosters
Leilua vs Warriors

I'll play Fui,

You watch Walker will score an 80 now

OK I am looking at lining up like this for the round:

Smith (McInnes)
Vaughan, NBrown (Taupau)
Surgess, Crichton, JDB (Gallen)
Cleary, Pearce
Fui, Scott (TTurbo)
Teddy, Deddy, Dufty

Curtis Scott essentially my last reserve as will trade Walker out as some suggested.
Hopefully Walker's poor scoring continues against the dogs and Scott pulls out some stats against the Roosters. :/

That was my concern when I started playing Fui instead of Walker. Usually that is just my luck, but I just ended up missing Walker's 2 most rubbish scores.

I will be blaming you if you curse them.

2 trades left with Bodene and Munster a worry.

Only have 80k left and if I trade out Bodene I'd rather do JTurbo than Tlolo purely for POD factor as I can't afford Manners.
If I trade Munster to TTurbo I would have enough to do Bodene to Mannering but would be all out of trades.

Or I could do one trade this week and hold off for another week in case someone like DCE/Smith goes down.

Dilemmas, need some advice guys

My suggestion would be upgrade Bodene and then leave the other trade for a gunmergency.

I always find it interesting how different people can view the same thing and extrapolate entirely different contexts. I gotta put my hand up and say I really like Paul Kent- never saw his points coming across with any degree of ego, and I can't think of a living person who knows as much about the inner workings of the game and individual club management. Man is an ice cold motherfucker who isn't afraid to ask footballers tough questions instead of the tired old tropes the ex-player "reporters" always ask.

To each their own I guess. But surely we all at least agree that he is better than that smug git Hooper?! How can a person be on tv with a face just begging to be punched that much?

Funnily enough that's the exact same feeling I get when I watch Kent on 360.

If I'm being honest, I've never particularly despised Kent in the past (any more so than other NRL journo's that is) but over time he has evolved from purely reporting on the NRL to purely providing an opinion and that's what shits me.

In fairness to the bloke, that's not necessarily his fault (he's just doing his job) and I often agree with his points also......still doesn't stop me from wanting to belt that smug look off his face!

Another nail in the coffin for mine was his handling of the Bennett (Benji/Milf) stuff earlier in the year.
Clearly got caught out and then subtly proceeded to snipe at the blokes personal life - pretty dog act IMO.
