Priors big scores coincided with Tagataese being out. With tags back it was to be expected to see him revert to norm.

Hmmm so do we reckon seggy will be straight in? Will the nrl regiater it straight away? Hoping for at least 3 weeks from brailey.

Any brailey owners thinking of downgrading a midranger (for me i am looking at swapping kromwich for Frankenstein) to free up the cash? Although i reckon seggy will start 400k+ so that would still leave me 100k short...... might just stick with original plan of downgrading buhrer and getting in mcinnes if it happens

Yes, you were right. I'm glad I listened to your advice.
I've got JimmyG and DSaifiti as my props... fingers crossed that they go well.

Given Seggy has been training with the team, surely he jumps right in as soon as he's signed

I think seggy jumps on the bench to replace Nu Brown to start with

Graham bromwhich burgess Tolman will all score massivley in the wet slog tonight, doesnt look any good for attack though tedesco

On facebook yesterday, Lone Scout implied (but did not explicitly confirm) that Seggy would be priced based on last years NRL games - so around $255k

Happy enough with Gallen's score compared to Fifita. The saving in $$ makes it worth it for me.

McCullough and McGuire performed around expectations, shouldn't jump too high in price if I want to bring them in in the coming weeks.

Moga could be the one I regret. Might have to work him in next week, don't want to miss out on him if he'll be hitting 40 regularly. (and then he'll do his ACL again as soon as enough people bring him in)

1 penalty conceded and 4 missed tackles, not sure he will have -10 every week, and only got 42 minutes. He was on 24 after 24 minutes but then missed a tackle, gave a penalty away then got subbed and sat on 20 at halftime. Only saw 18 minutes in second half.
Have a feeling with the ageing Lewis and Gallen they won't be able to keep the 78 and 65 minutes they played tonight going, and he will get 50 mins most weeks. I don't think Taga affected him at all, Taga only played 15 minutes.
Just think he tried a bit hard and missed 4 tackles, happy to give him another week but will watch Wallace, KBrom, Daifiti and Moeroa whom will probably all outscore him this week, but I do see potential for him to bounce back.

Surely if Seggy replaces Brown on the bench next week you would think he will see more than 20 minutes, somewhere between 25-40 minutes I would say so Brailey possibly will start scoring sub 30s. Still not a bad buy I guess but a trade nonetheless. Seggy may hover around his price if seeing less than 40.

Traded Moga out for Cotric last minute. Had him to start as well. Centres now Talakai and Idris and I can't see them both hitting 44 (possible but unlikely, I'd say).

Fifita not too bad for a start and no tries, try assists or line-breaks plus errors.

Glad I didn't get McGuire but gutted I let Moga go.

Glad I didn't consider Macca but that may just be one week.
Glad I didn't consider Prior.
Brailey got the score you were all after but how long will he stick around/get 20+ points a game.

I wanted to get rid of Ese'ese but had no options who to bring in for him. He will be an annoyance in my 25 this year, I feel.

If (big if, ie; not gonna happen) Seggy got added to the system before McInnes plays, would you bring him in and take the points hit for the week to save a trade?

If they added him (which they won't, because he's not in the NRL) , he'd be locked out so you couldn't trade him in.

No, given segy won't be starting and playing 80 for a few weeks that's a horrocious idea. Imagine if McInnes gets 80, and also jags a try with 4 tackle breaks. You would be spewing.

I know I'm probably the only 1 with Prior on here but did anyone watch him closely? I was impressed and saw potential for 40-45 scores easily but that didn't eventuate last night.
If he had 1 missed tackle and 1 penalty only (so 6 more points) would you be saying the same thing if he got 39 in 42 minutes?

At present there weren't many players that actually scored much higher than their average (say more than 5 points) other than Brailey and Moga, and (Kahu, Beale & Leutele won't jag tries every week).
Everyone else was status quo.

So true

All the talk coming from tigers is Idris is not match fit, has a sore knee and might only play 60 minutes. He might be 10k cheaper in a couple of weeks!

So as suspected rolling lockout for unlimited transfers in Rd 1 doesn't exist. If you wanted to do Elgey>Jacks now it costs you 1 trade

Shit, you're right hahaha

Mine still says unlimited
