2017 NRL.com Fantasy Thread Part 31

I've had Elliott from the start, anyone have an idea of how many minutes he might get today? About 50-60? Was thinking of using him as my last reserve instead of Jacks and CHN as he is on the bench.

Hey guys, was it Francis Tualau's name that was getting thrown around earlier in the week as potentially a good pick up at some point for the bye rounds? Or is there a better option either in the Dogs pack or elsewhere. Looking for cheap guys that might to sue as cash outs but that might grab a few points during that period.

MS was the one who suggested him. With both J. Jackson & Klemmer more or less dead certainties to play origin then Tualau should get an opportunity.

Guys sorry to be a pain but just want a bit of reassurance on trades. Which sounds better of these options?

A - Kelly to 138k and Yates to Whitehead

B - Merrin to Crichton and Lamb to ARey/Norman

C - Lamb to Hampton and Yates to Bodene

Or just screw it and bring Milf in for Jacks?

HALP!

Asked my mate to pick a number between 1 and 6, then another number between 1 and 13.

McCullough FTS it is lol

Though Merrin and Lamb for Bodene and Milf is interesting.

I like B. The Crichton trade carries risk but Milford does too. Crichton + ARey or Norman is also the best end result out of those options

Yeah, I think I agree and as Welshy previously stated I am essentially swapping an underperforming 2rf gun and an average half for a performing gun half and potential cut price gun.

don't like this site at times, too much info makes me second guess my trades...

damn guths, why couldnt he stay in halfs.

Also, Crichton.....are we really expecting 60min+ play time? Anything less and it is a wasted trade.

That's the million dollar question but it seems like everyone is taking the same risk so we either wait a week and pay more or jump on and be laughing or crying with the rest of the crowd, depending which way it goes.

5 minutes until Frawley news lol

Worst case scenario he averages 50min, scores 40 pts a game.....Meaning he will score at the highest we are expecting guths to average.

To hell with it. guths to crichton it is! make $84k on the spot, possibly another 50-100k in price rises for a minimum gain of $134k, overall should score on average 5-10 pts more a game. Meaning by round 18 I am 60-120 points ahead. Plus that extra 84k means I get Tolman in before HIS price rises and get a more consistent scorer in 17. Overall seems a no brainer......but then again so did my siro trade then he busted out 50s....

But as you say, everyone needs to take a risk, and in the worst case scenario I am still ahead points wise and I am 150k cash in front

Canterbury have brought Matt Frawley in on the interchange with Tualau and Smith dropping out..

South Sydney are as per the program 1-17 with Murray and Fuimaono dropping out.

Coming off the bench in 20. Hmmm

welcome aboard tolman

Craig Bellamy has reduced his squad to 19 players ahead of Saturday’s trip to Lottoland.

Cheyse Blair, Jesse Bromwich and Cameron Munster all remain a chance to return from injury with the latter two named on an extended bench.

Justin Olam and Tui Kamikamica are the pair that drop out of the original squad named on Tuesday.

I'm on Crichton for Merrin. Probably will also pull the trig on lamb for reynolds but might trade change my mind and do kelly for leilua. He's so good to watch.

Way to waste the negative BE Des, you dickhead.

Oh well, looks like it will be Jacks out, Frawley in next week then and a waste of about $30K.

Yates out, Crichton in (via Faufusi)
French out, Burns in (cashout)

Tempted to bring in SKD lol

John Asiata will replace Johnathan Thurston at halfback for the Cowboys tomorrow according to Justin O'Neill. #NRL @cmail_sport

This according to Travis Meyn on twitter.
