2017 NRL.com Fantasy thread part 14

Not sure if it has been posted yet but while mannerist is very likely to play, there are still doubts over Gubb and Luke. Kearney is "hopeful" they will play.

NOFO is on my hit list once Jayne reaches 300k so more than likely not going to get NOFO

Had Nofo last year and this year in a draft game. Every time he goes on a run and breaks a few tackles

Phyth > Moga this week for me. Any reason not to pull the trigger?

I'm hoping jwh hits a 50 for me.

Most teams ran out 1-17 i think

Even suli was named on the wing when they were cut to 19

Well comparing the teams named on TLT last week to the actual 17 that played...

Sharks: 1-17
Broncos: 1-17
Bulldogs: 1-17
Storm: Croft (#17) Dropped. Jacks (#19) made it to the starting line up. Young T (#1) to bench, Munster (#6) Started FB
Souths: 1-17
Tigers: #16 + #21 Into starting Line up. #4 benched, #17 didn't make the final cut.
Dragons: 1-17
Panthers: 1-17
Cowboys: #5 Gone, #21 into starting line up.
Raiders: #1 Gone, #19 into starting Line up.
Titans: 1-17
Roosters 1-17
Warriors: 1-13, #14 Dropped off bench, 15-18 played
Knights: 1-17
Manly: 1-17
Eels: 1-17

So 5/16 teams changed their 1-17.

Guess you are right though, most teams are doing 1-17, however maybe because it was round 1, no injuries etc.

I wondered if there was probably a bit of pressure from the nrl on the clubs to not piss around with the system, and do what they can to have their 17 as close as possible.

Yeah sure. More likely the coaches are still figuring how to play the new system.

WL will throw up about 12 different trade idea during the week then either make none, or one that he hasn't even brought up before

Haven't read the rest of thread yet, but I actually really like seeing all the ideas. like him, doesn't mean i'll actually pull the trigger but good for the discuussion

Not trading Phythian to Burns. By the time Origin rolls around Reynolds and Gray will be back and I don't see any Rabbitohs backs making Origin. Will wait and grab Ponga when he finally gets named around Origin time

Idris on the bench? He's going to be a real slow burn...

Nofo had a good game but has never been a top tier gun and getting Teddy now really seems like chasing last weeks points. I really don't understand all the Hayne hate from a fantasy perspective

Chewie wrote:A bit quiet on here for a TLT...

Agree. Feels like everyone had a rough idea of the one player they wanted and how to get them, checked the teamsheets, made the trade, logged off

Not a lot of controversy or decision making this week. Watch it blow up as soon as Seggy is in the 21

How long ago was his last game for the Eels?
If he's not right to go round 3 the Warriors recruiting department should have a hard look at themselves.

Lets throw the Cat among the pigeons. If Smith scores say... Less than 60 this week would you trade him out next week?

No

Has he actually scored less than 60 2 weeks in a row? When was the last time that happened?

57 is my magic number
