2016 NRL.com Fantasy thread part 13

Sik wrote:Graham hasn't been charged for the shoulder charge penalty during the game vs Penrith

You called it earlier in the thread I think? Could have sworn he was goneski's for sure just personally.

next week I'm going Merrin to J. Graham.

Good news for TTrbo owners:

MANLY coach Trent Barrett says Brett Stewart is still a few weeks away from an NRL return as the fullback battles an ongoing hamstring issue.

“He still won’t be right [to face the Tigers on Monday],” Barrett said of Stewart at the club’s Narrabeen headquarters on Friday morning.

“He ran again [Thursday] and he’s as frustrated as anyone, Snake.

“He is important to the side but I thought Tom Trbojevic did a terrific job last week.

“He tried really hard in difficult circumstances and he was coming off limited preparation as well.

“We’re not expecting Snake back for a couple of weeks.”

I think it's about 37k

Phew, good news about Graham. Needed that after last nights shocker

Yeah I watched something on NRL.com relating to last weeks charges, and the tapau incident looked identical. That why I thought he'd get off.

On a different not. Who should I captain this week? I've got 3 teams.

1st team guns are Woods, Smith, W.Graham, DCE, Tedesco.
2nd team guns are Smith, Fifita, Surgess, Parker, W.Graham, Mannering, DCE, Tedesco.
3rd team guns are Peats, Fifita, Surgess, J.Graham, W.Graham, Mannering, DCE,Tedesco.

I'm in Brisbane and tonight game Broncos v Warriors will be wet. (Damp at best). Thoughts?

Don't think it will help either side. Maybe the Broncos have better discipline with ball security, but that's about it.

Yes and I feel the same about not having him. The biggest reason for not having him for me was the dogs not having the great byes they've had the last few years.

Make me a member of the should of had Graham but didn't club as well. My reason though was I was concerned by his recent concussion and injury history. I held him last year for 4 weeks only for him to get injured in his return game or the one right after.
Oh well this sort of stuff isn't foreign to me. This year I went with Woods instead of Graham, 2014 I went with Brenton Lawrence instead of Jesse Bromwich. Both times were a coin toss between two similar priced players and I chose wrong.

So it was you.

I went Benry --> Graham and captained him this week instead of picking up Carter. Cash cows come and go but guns are forever.

If you watch the game again last night I swear I saw Graham be left on the ground (about 40m line of Panthers side early in second half) for a split second in a three man tackle - he clashed heads with Klemmer.
He got up and ran directly straight back about 20 metres for the next tackle, but he ran a bit like a tranquilised giraffe. I thought they would have picked it up and he would have gone off for a concussion test.
About 5 minutes later he comes off and when he was walking around the field he looked a little dazed I thought. Only a matter of time he takes a knock like Tolman tonight. I wouldn't be trading a fit gun to Graham.

Conserve those trades for cows at the start, injuries and a shit load of trading that will be needed around origin this year. Its going to be hard but think I might try and sit tight for a few rounds and not kneejerk.

Klemmer is facing a ban for touching the ref. If Tolman is out too Graham should go big

Captained Graham last night. Not too shabby. Merrin and Carty very underwhelming. Spewing I missed Garvey. I was always gonna get him but got cold feet at the last minute. Think I read on the Kennel or something that Lichaa was even looking to get back for the Rabbitohs round so only missing as little as two games. But methinks with Garvey going good they won't need to rush him back. Hopefully my new cash cows of Walker and Carter can earn some coin.

Might captain him again

Clear separation between arm and body, obviously to wrap around the player

Sounds like someone has a fetish

Has been raining on and off throughout the day in Brisbane, hopefully it will clear up for tonight but there are still some clouds around. Might be a slightly damp track.
