2017 NRL.com Fantasy Thread Part 10

I was looking hard at McGuire earlier and wanted him for his DPP and potential to make some decent coin and potentially evolve in a GUN, someone i could use over someone like Surgess for less $$ but I just can't see it

had his stats alongside Corey Parker, Parker played a few extra minutes at lock over McGuire playing prop last year

McGuire already made more tackles and had more RM than Parker....He also made less errors

I just cannot see where the extra points come from for him to become elite or even score more than he did last year

well I have ET, but I don't think he is a 'must have'. he fits well into my lineup and i think he'll avg 50. I think he's by far the best value around that price mark, just my opinion.

kbrom, I had zero interest in, though Harris's injury does change things. He may well play 80 minutes, if so, then yes he's great value. I don't have him though. To get him in would require a big reshuffle for me, its something I am probably going to look in to today.

Hopefully gallen doesnt wind down and reduce his minutes in his final year

Graham and Siro or Wallace and Taylor.

I just don't think gallen has it in him. He has too much pride in his efforts and will have a strong desire for the Sharks to back up well after their premiership win. Maybe in the last month of the season if the Sharks are slipping.

Is it a waste to have 3 2nd rowers over 500k

He scores consistently and allows me to avoid Brailey trap and 1 trade path Api>Segey

No doubting the consistency mate, just some think he is a locked in gun with his lock move, I can't see it.

Ugh, with the brailey/seggy rumours I've managed to rejig supercoach and VSDT thanks to ET but not fantasy.

Frankenstein, Arrow, or TPJ.

Alright guys, thoughts here?

If i go Gallen -> KBrom, I can upgrade Brailey to Farah/Macca/or cheaper.

Gallen/Brailey VS Kbrom/Macca ?

The latter gives me a solid 4th reserve rather than guessing between putting the R on Brailey or Elgey

The other big $$ 2rf's i have are JDB/ET

Is the source on Segey reliable? Nothing news wise google search

source is James Hooper so make of it what you will? His level of confidence is "i reckon it will happen soon". No one else in the media appears to be saying anything about it.

Ben Hunt's Butterfingers wrote:alright guys, here's my team at the moment. Still not satisfied but any criticism helps:

Smith   McInnes
Fifita   Wallace   Faufusi   I.Papaali
JDB   McGuire   Kbrom   Sironen   SMat   Yates
Guth   Lamb   Field   Elgey
Talakai   Idris   Kelly   Suli
Hayne   RTS   Pthing   Cotric   Holmes

Very strong considering you have forgone the Brailey temptation. It could all go pear shaped very quickly for those of us that have Brailey. Has come up at the expense of a Gum half, but I like it.

I'm not going to blow up my team on the chance that he is right. If in two weeks time Seggy is playing for the Sharks I will make the same trades I would make today. Gives us a bit more time to see how the rotations work out for hookers aswell as cheapie forwards

Chewie wrote:Not keen on Wallace as my Gurgess replacement, but the other options don't get me excited either....like Pulu, Winterstein, McCrone, TMM, Starling, Musgrave, uuughh

I know everyones gone cold on him after the fensom signing but ive still gone hess.
I dont see scott and bolton being big minute props like fifita, bromwich etc, the cowboys also have a utility on the bench.

I also cant see asiata and kaufusi playing big minutes off the bench

How important is Harris to Melbourne? Munster in a new position, Green wasn't spectacular but was a great cog, Slaters playing future causing all sorts of issues, does it affect Smiths scoring?

I concur with these sentiments.

The $143k cash cow forwards could all forseeably make crap all between them. They'll get no game time and scores of 10-20.

And if you don't have guys making cash your initial team will need to be spot on inn every position or you'll fall behind
