2016 NRL.com Fantasy thread part 42

i was tossing up between the Hunt/Norman/Cleary debate also. But since Parcell is still out I have to play all three anyway! Also have Semi and Munster in my halves. Living on the edge!

You found a secret bro?

ET phone home.


I'll let you work out the riddle.

Napa to Merrin? Not too sideways is it?

Napa is crapa so I'd do the trade.

I just want to bring in Hardaker for that POD factor and the fact I want to free up some cash from selling Barba.

So if Hardaker plays Centre - what's going to happen to Peachey?

A move to Yeo's 2RF spot would be ideal. Hopefully waiting a week doesn't cause any issues

Anyone still thinking Semi will play in their 17 this weekend?

I've put the C on Leilua. Am I crazy?

I'm cashing out Lolohea to either Copley or Manu, but wondering if it's worth the punt getting Hardaker for the extra 70K.  Don't really need him in the Centres, but you never know he might become something special.

EDIT: Fuck, he's only available as a WFB.

Ok. I've reversed my trades as I'm unsure what to do. The last 2 players I want to bring in to complete my team are Fifita and Friend.

My trade outs will be Parcell and whoever fits for the Fifita trade. It was going to be Taumalolo, but not sure what to do.

Team is as follows - Pre Trades.

Smith / Parcell
James / Graham / S.Burgess / J.Trbo
Mannering / Taumalolo / ET / Asiata / Henry / Leuluai
SJ / Hunt / Cleary / Feeney
BJ / Aitken / Lolohea / Copley
Tedesco / Munster / Barba / Gutherson / Hughes

318k in the bank.

Jake Friend
Currently 505k, he will almost guarantee a 50+ point game week in week out. Highish BE this week so will probably shed some more cash. If I don't bring him in this week, and Munster DOESNT play, I will be forced to play Lolohea, Gutherson or Copley. Doesn't miss anymore games, and doesn't ply Origin.

Andrew Fifita
Currently 564k, he is almost 60+ points per week. Low BE, so will more than likely increase in price this week. Misses round 18 due to Origin commitments. I could bring him in this week, but at whose expense?

Jason Taumalolo
Scores 40+ most weeks. Can go bigger if he scores a try. Could do a straight swap for Fifita, however at the sacrifice of a Round 18 player, to which I have 11 at this stage pre trades.

Can anyone throw some suggestions at me?

Hardaker will more Than likely play FB in Round 18 with Moylan being absent.

Anyone know why J.Brom has been getting low scores? Last 3 avg of 41

Tui and Fus are going to share the fullback role just like the old RTS/Mini, Flash/Holmes move. So if you're low on trades you can probably afford to hold Tui and see how he goes because I assume he'd pop up at FB in attack

I think Tui will be for it. Playing a roving type roll.

For broncos, Niko looks to be out, Glenn to centre, S'ua to 2nd row. Ofahengaue to bench.

Because he's an over rated hack who has a shit ppm but manages big scores on occasions due to playing big minutes. My biggest regret was trading him in for Cartwright because he played round 15.
