Very nice. Just something small that's bugging me, swap Yates with Kaufusi to give you that extra cover in the FRF

Sure will balance it out for you Have it setup for this weeks games anyways, (so reserves look messy) but those things can save you sometimes

Is JWH an update to another keep or run with the forwards I have

If you've got the cash to upgrade to a keeper like fifita then id do it straight away, if not then have another look this week. I might be wrong but to me JWH is your classic mid-range prop, will score 30-40 points a game and price will hover around his starting price

This year I managed to keep 250k in the bank for trades.
This is what I've got after 2 trades this week.
Smith, Brailey
Fifita, Wallace, Musgrove, IPapalii
Surgess, Barnett, Smat, Sironen, FKaufusi, Yates
Norman, Lamb, Jacks, Elgey
Walker, Kelly, Idris, Cotric
TTurbo, RTS, Hayne, Suli, Ponga

70k in the bank for when Seggy comes along.
Don't have Moga or Talakai but do have most of the cashies.

Great team Chucky. You could go Ponga to Talakai via Cotric for the price rises instead of having no value there.

80k + DPP + higher ceiling average makes it not sideways, I reckon do it.

If Vaughan gets 50mins I probably keep him with his 1.02ppm avg.
Shame I don't get another look at them, it's probably now or never.

Hoping JWH stings together some big games over the next few rounds, to maximise cash for points potential 

JWH - JBrom ~ $90k-$100k R5

Great squad, this is what I mean looks much better than me without Brailey.

I'm running light atm but I've got a decent war chest building and all the early cows minus the Pritchard/Brailey combo

I'll hope to make the points back over origin

Pro's and con's as GM has said. Assuming i can ride brailey a while yet, my plan is to upgrade forwards then halves, then a hooker and gun FB. But it is no easy street, brailey and the seggy factor can implode any day. Some are hoping brailey starts punching 20's, plus we cant be 100% how Seggy signing would work out with all that chaff in the hooking spot at the sharks.

My only regret with my setup is switching JBD to Surgess about 15 b4 kickoff. Faaark me.

Smith McInnes
Fifita Wallace Yates IPapalii
JDB Surgess Smat Kromwich Sironen Kaufusi
Lamb Jacks Elgey Fogarty
Talakai Moga Idris Kelly
Gutherson RTS Hayne Cotric Suli

Pretty similar to me but you trump me because of your second row. Brock lamb is also a good scorer for the price too. I just need Turbo and D Waller to start firing.

Smith McInnes
Fifita Wallace Leota IPapalii
ET Smat Sironen Kaufusi Winterstein Yates
Norman Johnson Elgey Jacks
Walker Moga Idris Kelly
Turbo RTS Hayne Cotric Suli

Two trades down but hope to sit tight next week.

JDB is going to kill me this year!

Pick two reserves from Elgy, Jacks and Winterstein. I reckon Elgy will go well this weekend against the knights.

SI wrote:

How much cash do you have?  If JBrom is out for a few weeks would you think about trading him instead?

350K but also have luke as hooker. DO I upgrade to lolo to keep points ticking over sit and wait

Having no cash in the bank is a worry actually. May need to just choose one of Wallace/Musgrove and hold the Python for a bit

Thanks. You wouldn't say its a must do trade though really, correct?

Not a must, but if you have no other trade concerns it seems like a good time to dump a non-scorer for a scorer that will make a few $$$. Or are you going to run with Pthing until .....??

While everyone is flaunting their teams, here is my no C. Smith, no Tedesco, no McInnes team after trades this week.

HOK: K. Pritchard (J. Brailey)
FRF: A. Fifita, F. Kaufusi (Z. Musgrove, L. Yates)
2RF: J. de Belin, S. Burgess, P. Gallen (K. Bromwich, S. Mata'utia, C. Sironen)
HLF: C. Norman, B. Lamb (R. Jacks, K. Elgey)
CTR: S. Talakai, T. Moga (J. Idris, B. Kelly)
WFB: B. French, J. Hayne, R. Tuivasa-Scheck (N. Cotric, M. Suli)

Reserves: J. Brailey, K. Bromwich, S. Mata'utia, C. Sironen
Cash Remaining: $193 000

Other than the 3 guys I listed at the start, noticeable omissions would be J. Wallace, J. McGuire, S. Matagi, F. Winterstein.

I pray every night for Seggy news. JOKES

Hopefully that news is "Brailey in, we don't need Seggy."

Nice team, A lot more balance than mine and could go huge should the backs fire

4 reserves?

Macca
Musgrove
Siro
SMat

Elgey
Jacks

Got a feeling Jacks will go wild against the Warriors, want to put the R on him

Yeah tough to work out Jacks v Elgey

Jacks defends well and likes to run it though Elgey could gain more confidence against the knights.

I just realised I can turn Python into Tedesco by downgrading ET to Stone because he is below rookie price at 135k with 1k left over. would give me centres of Turbo Walker Idris Kelly and back 5 of Ted RTS Hayne Suli Cotric. One less reserve forward though so 4th reserve would have to be one of Yates, Elgey, Jacks or one of my cow CEN/WFB's. This idea is crazy right?

Urs is quite unique, bold move in the hooking spot.
Ur a Matagi fan ?
Do u plan on bringing in any of the 3 ommisions ?
Good bank $$$$

Some analysis on Matagi.

2016 he played 21 games, averaged 30mins and 21 points.
He averaged 0.5TBs/game and 3 missed tackles.

Last weekend he made 3 TBs and 1 missed tackle in 47 mins for 41 points

Assuming he maintains his ppm of 0.72 from last year, 47 mins would give him an average of 34, suggesting his 41 last week may be at the upper end of his scores.

He isn't fantasy relevant, don't know why people are so into him.
