2016 NRL.com Fantasy thread part 21

My biggest mistake this year has been trading Taylor - TMM. I did it because I thought TMM was going to make the faster cash (I guess technically he is with less games played), now Taylor is more expensive, and going to score more points with Roberts out.

Hindsight is everything...

That extra 15-30 you made might mean nothing when you run out of trades as well. Need to have the right balance.

yeah, I might pass on Jango and Holland...

I'm no longer in emergency mode and need to save some trades for more long term cows and origin prep.

moltzen getting injured is unusual

Hmm with Benry, Feeney, CScott I should probably do something about that. But Rochow -> RTS is just so tempting. Deciding to save the trade and just cover DCE until he's back.

Taylor has the lower BE this week too so it won't be faster cash any longer. Looking like the don't trade cows for cows rule stands; how many people broke that rule in TMM's case I wonder!

If I'm not mistaken, is this Tohu Harris' 3rd week named at Centre?

When you dominate possession like Manly did 2nd half and have a weapon like Taupau, who could run over the top of most players especially the backs on the edge, getting starved of ball questions need to be asked. Walker was a glory hog time and again and his plays came to naught. If the coach was smart he'd be giving him a serve after that second half but Barrett doesn't come across as the smartest tool in the shed

I broke the rule for TMM, however I still maintain he was rorted by the stats guys last week and owed at least another 2 or 3 TB's. Not all that unhappy with my trade though, It was Hastings who has gone on to make plenty more cash sure, but at the time I didn't know JNiko was going to be dropped so eh.

Holland should hopefully get game time while Hoppa is out for Sunday school..
Also if he kicks well they may find some room for him considering their goal kicking issues.

2nd. Last week was 1st. Bromwich got named against Warriors even though Tofu played there then Scott got named then injured

Time for Turner to go right? BE of 37 or something and has made 80k.

I agree, he is quite under rated. Dont forget, he was playing reserve grade (I think?) and still got picked for the Kiwis 2-3 years ago.

Yeah think you're right Finchy, didn't have a bad game either

Penciled in Fensom, Holland & Mansour on my hit list for this week.

Will Fensom see an increase in minutes with Soliola out?

Going against what I said and bringing in Holland for Benry. Have to make the move now rather than have him cost $200k+ come round 12. Stab in the dark, bit of trade-and-pray.

I need to renew my Excel so can't access Milchy's stats sheet. Have you used it? It's a Sticky at the top of the main Fantasy page and should show what happened last year when Soli was out. I had Fensom and I think he only had a couple of games of 70 plus at the back end of the season and I think that was from in game injuries to others. Either way check out the spreadsheet.

i haven't looked at it that way...
I'll have to see how many times Hoppa will be praying for his team

After their performance last week you would think he will be praying more then normal.

Quiet game last week, no reason he can't pull out a high 40 or 50 against a struggling Roosters side. Id say keep for another week, he shouldn't lose money this week.

Stupid question:

Does Ma'u usually play 80 minutes in back row, or is it due to an injury or something else?

Hoppa is praying for his team rnd 10,11 & 12

That does give the Holland option a bit more incentive
