2017 NRL.com Fantasy thread Finals Edition Part 1

Slade Griffin to the Knights might be a prospective cash cow in the making... He has a Hok/Ctr dpp... Not that I expect failhub to let him keep that status

Probably SI going through one of his end of season, post awards, attention seeking meltdowns.

I don't even notice who has downvotes unless someone makes a post to draw attention to it

Gee you are keen I find it rather refreshing not to be counting Fantasy points while watching a game now.

Won't be long until the NRL season is complete and the long wait until NRL Fantasy opens once more in late Jan early Feb. Least I will be kept busy during the off season since I sold my business and now going into a different field of work.

I dont think Tolo will be a good pick next year with Scott, Mclean, Bolton, Fensom and Hess in rotation.

I mean he'll still be at his destructive best but I think he'll be playing less minutes because he wont be as relied on

I reckon my first three picks next year will be Teddy, Brown and Harris

That is a nice trifecta, Teddy should get far more attacking opportunities with the Roosters, can only see him averaging higher

Harris is great value at just over $300k

Brown is a dogg!

The D-O Double G!!

Behind the roosters forward pack Teddy will be unstoppable he almost already is with the Tigers. Might even be their leading try scorer.

Harris has always been a good fantasy player until this year with his injuires. Saturday he looked back to his best. Hopefully it'll continue for next year!

Even playing in that dire Warriors pack, if he stays injury free he will play 80 every week and average 35+ tackles and 80-100 RM a game. severley undervalued at $300,000

5th tackle with seconds to go, he should have run straight to get closer to the posts for Maloney's field goal, but the greedy fuck runs across field and tries to get the impossible off load and loses the ball and the game.

And jeez, he had nothing to do with the Sharks winning the GF last year? Lazy, useless .......

Those three and a discount GI are going straight into my side next year, and then I'll go from there.

Does anyone actually think Teddy might not get as many points as he normally does because he will be playing in more a structured team where he won't be the sole player to create something each and every time? He may be forced to play a more streamlined, less improvised role.

He may actually score more tries playing a more structured role where they actually run plays

A case for pre season debate but in short. no for me

still has to run the ball back for his slapsies TB's and will get far more ball near the opposition line in a far better attacking side. will get 10+ tries next year easy, in that Rooster backline

Will still get kick returns.

But probably less attacking ball. There Tigers ran almost everything through him. Roosters have other options to go to.

I'm on the fence about him for next year

One of the unwritten rules of fantasy is to be wary when picking players that have changed clubs... sometimes it doesn't work out... Like RTS leaving the roosters.
Even so...
I expect Teddy to do better at the Roosters. I don't know about Ben Hunt at the dragons though.

Big difference between opposition players keying on on Teddy as only real threat at the Tigers and the multiple options to defend at the Roosters.
Big year I reckon for Teddy next year

Just talked me into using Tedesco right off the bat next year with that RTS line.....

Depends on what price Hunt is for me. The games he played off the bench would lower his average but hes going to a club with an established dominant half.

Baaahh talking myself out of it

Also cheers Vanish completely forgot about GI and his discount

Hunt will be cheaper than an X rtated stripper in Sydney on Insta.
