2016 NRL.com Fantasy thread part 36

@ wackos - Broncos expected team news - Waddell out, K-Nik to start & Easy E onto bench.

This intrigues me as K-NIk could be an 80 minute hooker & with the Warriors defense having more holes than swiss cheese he could gun it.

Parker will probably be rested next week by the looks of it, he can wait til next week, as can Hastings.

Blaw won't lose much, but Fensom even if he starts I'm just not confident in considering what's been going on.

If Fensom starts tonight, is everyone still trading him?

Tempted to put take a punt and put the C on Smith also.

For me, the problem with Fensom is that he's bleeding cash while scoring low.

If he doesn't play, I don't get the points.
If he does play, I might get 40 points but he will be worth $10-20k less thus more difficult to trade him to a keeper (Munster who is still rising in price)

Two words and an acronym.

Leilani Latu POD.

That is all.

At this stage I'm close to my final team so am more interested in people who will score some points over the byes....Money isn't a big stress either as I've still got a few other cows to milk - team value at the moment is $9.42mill with $110k in the bank (only 11 trades left tho  )

Copley might be a good cashout for you then, the only other one I can think of without looking is Bevan French, although I don't think there is much positive about either, just hope they play the big bye rounds and jag a try or too, thats all you can hope for. If your interested in Copley and can wait 1 week then do that. (Although Copley is playing the Tigers and will come up against one of the Broses so could get a try and 10 TB's)

If you only care about points then BE is completely irrelevant.

If 30k saved waiting a week is the difference between affording Fifita after origin it's very relevant

I don't usually bet on games but I'm looking at Warriors +13

If Tedesco scores 50 points this round then I'd have to hope Fifita would score an extra 50 points more than who I trade out for him over the rounds I bring him in.

Assuming that's 6 rounds, that's an average of 8 extra points a week. so if I'm trading out someone with an average of 50 then Fifi would have to average 58-59 for those last few weeks.

If Tedesco goes big and scores 70 then that's almost 12 extra points a week Fifita has to make up for those points that I miss out this round.

None of this really matters as I am leaning towards Munster anyway as I will take the point that he will score more points between now and the end of the year thanks to that one extra game.

First Bhana now Ese, no fucking loopholing for me.

K-Nik could be a legit trade in option now since Macca out for quite a few weeks.

For the record my current FRF/2RF with their averages looks like this:

Graham (59)
Surgess (52)
Parker (52)
Whitehead (53)
Fensom (46)
ET (44 - but has averaged 59 at the Tigers)
Harris (56)
Taupau (52)

Fensom is my trade. He was poor choice to bring in when I did but that's in the past. I have him.
Everyone else has there has to be considered a keeper thanks to my low trade balance.

My halves are my weak point as I'm starting Hunt and Taylor.

My centres could need repair if Holland continues to score poorly (Aitken, Holland)

That's forty extra points for me and I don't 'lose' that 30k unless he gets a long term injury and I have to trade him.

Well its just the trade off between the two isn't it, you either have the 40 points or you have the 30k, whats worth more to you? I have these debates in my head all the time, such as a few rounds back I was holding off on Elijah Taylor until his be went below 50.

Cordner out again for 4-6 according to FOX. Good for SST; possibly good for Maubbs.

Hmmm.....I think I'm reversing my Fensom to Tolman trade and going for SST instead.

Michael Morgan OUT. Ray Thompson into halves. Looks like Jahrome Hughes misses out after strong Cowboys debut. #NRL @cmail_sport

So is DCE a no go with the recent drama surrounding manly

Should I go with hunt instead with him missing one more game

The stats from the 2 games in question are interesting.

I'm a big believer in coincidences making shit look worse than it is so I shouldn't cast aspersions.

In other news, did you give a mate of yours permission to post your Carter Award in another group? Just want to make sure it hasn't been lifted. He used you by your 1st name so I'm assuming it's legit.

Its six players right - five from Manly one Souths?

At first I couldn't work out why a Souths player would be paid - but just made sense when I remembered who was a late in for Souths.

Mate mentioned there's seven or so Manly players common to both games, sounds like DCE a definite no go....

Thoughts on Pearce? Could be a good POD but hasn't been up against a real opponent yet, form may be deceiving.
