2017 NRL.com Fantasy thread part 17

Held on the Holmes for 2 weeks and now he sits on the bench at 19 with the possibility of playing.

This forces my hand a bit. Need to ship Phythian for a winger just in case or perhaps just bite the bullet and forget about Holmes (or just go an AE)

Also, it is high time with Norman & Jacks out to go Elgey to Lamb. Really wanted to get rid of Moeroa this week and perhaps even bring in Hoare. What are the odds on Holmes playing? Surely he is in. A few weeks ago he was a definite Round 3 starter and just sat our Round 2 as a precaution.

Still want to bring on Sam Hoare. The guy is a beast and should get at least 30 minutes off the bench, right?

You convinced me not to go with him.

Sharks playing last makes it very tricky to trade in Holmes, it worries me that he hasn't actually been named in the #1.

I hope this Norman injury isn't one that lingers more than a week?

Might have to hold on Moeroa trade out and work some other magic in the mean time..

This sucks. Only positive is that maybe Elgey goes fractionally better without Norman against him.

I have Jacks, Field, Talakai, Idris, Hayne & Phythian stinking up my team. Which 2 go first. I was thinking Talakai & Phythian.

Trades this week

I Papalii to P Kaufusi/Hoare

Idris/Hayne to Abbey/Ponga/Rennings/Roberts Davis

I think Idris might be the one to rid myself of. At least when Hayne comes back you know his effort level might raise. Idris well that guy is going to take a while to get fit and Chee Kam could play his way into securing the spot anyway.

Make it rain!!

Make it rain biatch:

Who is TRD covering for? I assume he was in for Zillman, but now Zillman's back he's there for Don?

Glad I ditched him last week for Moga now, needs some time in lower grades to come up to speed I reckon.

I find it hard to believe Taylor didnt already know what he apparently now knows RE Idris.

@Tiger fans - everyone liking JT overall ?

I'm looking at:
Talakai out - P. Kaufusi in via Sione via F. Kaufusi
Phythian out - R. Jennings in

Gives me a game to assess the likes of Ponga, Slater, Abbey, Cornish.

Yes you would think his instructions would be to try and play 80 mins in NSW Cup, surely that is the best thing for him in the long run.

Do we think Des shifts Abbey to wing and Borris to FB an hour before kickoff?

At least that happens before TRD plays

JT has no idea and it sends me to the drink

Those with Kbrom, what are your thoughts? Im currently carrying, Kbrom, Hayne, Jacks, Phythian, Idris (potato), elgy. All players id be happier with out.

Kbrom is really stinking the place out. Even at his mid range price his scoring, and it seems his potential seems underwhelming

At this stage I look like Hayne out Rennings in and Talakai out Hess in.

Site has all of a sudden defaulted to what i assume is the mobile version on my mobile (go figure). Anyone know how to make it go back to the desktop version?

What sort of sick joke is this with Norman out?? How does Robson still have a gig with any nrl side?
