2016 NRL.com Fantasy Thread Part 6

Stay away from Dragons forwards and Raiders forwards!!!

Can someone post Aubs attacking stats in those backrow games? Im guessing there was LB or Trys in there, not a lot of TBs? I cant really remember him being a tackling machine and i worry about reproducing the attack out wide with inexperienced halves behind a forward pack missing its 2 best players

When has that ever not been the case? Surely no one expects Parcell to get 80 mins

Am i the only one who thinks Api will start and get 60min? Yeah Parcell was good in QLD cup last year but he has little to no NRL experience while Api is a couple of months younger and has 2 years experience, played in a world cup and won a premiership

100% with you on this one Shanbon, Parcell also decent insurance for the inevitable Matai injury when Walker shifts to CTR and Api fills in at 5/8

Who will Nightingale be playing outside? Dugan or Lafai?

Anyone considering starting Feeney if he gets the starting gig?

Dugan i hope, would be better for fantasy team haha

Or Aikten?

Friend or Moseley starting for the Titans

Surely Lafai and Duges will be CTR. Aitken possibly on the wing or ressies.

Just nabbed Nightingale in Ultimate draft. Here is hoping he can go back to his days of high 30's/low 40's average.

I think ryzo may have been following on from the whole Api may not start the season thing.

I'd be guessing it would be Friendy. Moseley didn't really offer anything last year im surprised hes so highly rated. I would think Mortimer would get the bench spot at at least he could cover more positions incase of an injury

Death riding maubs now after your selection.

I can't see him on the wing over Mata'utia

Hmm.. I wasn't aware that Garvey signed with the Bulldogs.. Hope he stays the hell away from the bench!

I'm considering it. Seems like a good idea to me. He is obviously up tot he task if he manages to push Mamo out of the spot. An Mamo ended up being worth 312K avg 36. So, priced at 130k I can't see a reason not to start him and use the money elsewhere. Only downside is he potentially doesn't fire and then gets moved, in which case you'd need some major team surgery to free up the money to buy a quality replacement WFB. Could be risky, but makes sense.

Wrapped he lasted that long. Was going to be him or Mann for centre; Random bluffed me out of Mann by suggesting his autopicks were all 2nd rowers, then BLAM!!! he picks 2 centres

Yeah my thoughts are if people are willing to risk an untested Mann for 255k why not an untested option at 130k?
