2018 NRL.com Fantasy thread part 1

Here is my first draft, just playing around with some guns:

CS9, Garvey
J Graham, M Scott, Rookie
Nbrown, Crichton, Cartwright, Butcher, Rookie
JT, Watson, Cleeland
TTurbo, Whare, Hunt
Teddy, Ponga, GI, Rookie, Rookie

24k ITB

Has anyone thought about Darcy Lussick? He should start at Manly with Lawrence retired and he's a bargain at 285k

When I first played fantasy I had a "pick no Warrior player" policy cause they're just so disappointing & I think in 2018 they will get the wooden spoon.
Also good players like Harris go to the Warriors & play worse. Maybe because once they are at the setup & among the players, they realise what a massive mistake they've made & it affects their form.

I remember having him his last year at the eels and was frustrated with him.

I cant find any stats on Lawrence for this year but I cant remember him playing a game for Manly this year.

I know that Lussick was injured a bit and only managed 14 games but I think he's that price for a reason

So T-Trbo has lost his dpp status & GI (503k) is not cheap. I might pass on both.

Superstar surcharge for GI... not the $267k cheap rate, but $503k

This article on Fox gives a good analysis of 2018 teams

ins & outs

Crichton is now a Rooster.

So Crichton is only a Bunny for 2018. Will Souths stick him in reserve grade for a year so that they can develop someone else since he's going to the Roosters in 2019.

Fucking Crichton. FUCKING ROOSTERS! Fuck this shit.

Crichton is too good to stick in reserve grade, if the Bunnies want to make the finals they will definitely need to play Grand Angus

Agreed but he has gone to the arch enemy & the fans won't like this at all. The players understand it's a business decision but the die hard fans will be seething.

Cam Murray?

Some bulldog should pick some decent bench minutes.

Woods
Lichaa
Tolman
Jackson
Elliot
Klemmer

Fualaloa
Preist
RFM
Martin
Tualau

Surely one of them will play decent minutes off the bench

He will be one of my first picked for sure. I think the coach might keep Murray at 13 and move Surgess to second row.

As a bunnies fan it's a real shame to lose Angus, but no matter what the story is, he won't play a minute in reserve grade.
