You allready have 2 Hookers potentially out next week.  I personally wouldn't be bringing a bloke in with his history.

Fair point but got to find $150k somehow.. Otherwise it's Grant/Evans down to a 130k player and don't really know any that have a secure position

Someone Mentioned Gavet though wonder who you drop out of those 2, Grant or Evans?

Why? Without the finish hed be on 50 odd. Seems like ricky wont play him for 80

This. No-one should be kicking themselves. 53 minutes, a try with TB's.

The thing with Fensom is he has a big motor and that could actually come in handy for a few strong runs close to the end of the game. We'll see I guess only Round 1

Ahh yes, you did say you had to fund it.

I will have a squizzy at end of the round - be happy with 50pts, If I had the cojones to go with my original plan I wouldnt be in need to trade Seggy

Would think Grant has more minutes/long term position, but Evans is probably more boom/bust?

Could go Gavet and reserve him or Taylor

Action stations haha, crazy qucik damage mitigation after all this planning and research
Haha alot of luck involved and dodging injuries again to start the year, hopefully i can get some luck eventually

Just be yourself mate, just be yourself.

Don't know if you saw mate but you might not have won that award

For me the easiest way out for Seg/Liicha is to keep my team as is and use the JNiko link next week to pick up a half.

- If Liicha is less than 3 weeks I do Seg to ARey or Tedesco (via Feeney).
- If Liicha is 3+ I do Liicha/Seg to JRey + Cam Smith.

Very happy with BJ, 34 without seeing all that much ball, no TA's and no try's. Went looking for work on both sides of the field and consistently broke tackles.

Whitehead did a lot of work and went much better in the 2nd half, happy with him both fantasy (36) and team wise . Both of those two probably suffered somewhat from the Austin injury as well.

Vaughan 38, didn't get the minutes I was hoping for  but scored well enough that I can hang on to him and wait and see (not a bad outcome for a gamble).

Mansours 40 with a try is slightly worrying, though he looked ok in the first game (didn't seem to be breaking as many tackles according to the eye test though).

Was originally going to run without Surgess but just downgraded Fifita to Surgess to try and reduce trades and to have the cash to trade Seggy to Peats next week. Watch Fifita go BIG now

Can't believe I went Seggy over Peats lol I mean sure, wasn't to know he was going to get injured but I still should have stuck with the gut

Evans to Gavet.Leaves me 139k
If I go Grant down to Gavet I have $148k leftover so 48k to allow for all the price change

Segy to Peats saves me 1k before updates taken into account
Lichaa to Smith costs me 101k

So need 100k pending updates/price changes..
Will 39k be enough to cover that ? Would hate to be short..


What a ClusterF**K but luckily it is rolling lockout and the Warriors have given me a possible light at end of tunnel

Adding to this nearly the whole second half the Raiders offense ran through the left side (Sezers side) due to the Blake Austin injury. Whitehead for the most part was on the right side of the ruck and saw very limited action offensively. So he can definitely improve on that. Also as you mentioned in the second half Whitehead was a lot more involved defensively and hopefully that will carry over to next week. It was nice to see Whitehead one of the first there on the kick chase to tackle the returner. Happened on a few occasions. If he gets the errors and missed tackles lower or completely out of his game he could push close to 45 points a week. (I also expect Whitehead to update as well.)

Mansour looked alright. Didn't take as many hit ups in the first half as he did in the second. Also was shaky with the ball a few times. When he did take hit-ups it was straight into a Raiders line of like 3 of their bigger guys. (Whitehead half the time in the second half.) I think he can still improve on what occurred this week. Especially if he gets some one on one opportunities against smaller blokes.

Cbf reading the pages I missed, didn't watch the game either, but why did Cartwright score in the 30s? Lazy or was traffic going the other way

Looking at the bench, just 2 props so going to run with Matagi as 4th Reserve.
Have kept Evans as the extra moneys for trades next week gives me more cover.

Rolling the dice.. .All on Black

Seggy was scoring OK.

But yes, There will be lots oand lots of people who'll be regretting the Seggy over Peats call (I too am one of them)
Guess I have to try and find the cash now to get Peats in somehow

He played alright, expect his score to bump up. He made 3-4 TB's which aren't counted so he should be around the 40-45 mark when updates come through. He was solid without being amazing. (Though he played a key role a few times.)

Milchy, are you able to make predictions on how Peats & Segeyaro's prices at the moment, or do you need to see how the prices fluctuate before you can accurately predict the future?

Gavet or Leulei? Quick
