I'll be happy if he outscores Jarrod Wallace.

Yanking ya chain, Rabs. Actually enjoy having you around this site.
Will play nicer in future because I do think you have a bit of valuable input around here. Keep it coming!

From the daily telegraph;

Late Mail: Adam Reynolds will take part in South Sydney’s captain’s run on Friday in a bid to prove he has overcome appendicitis. He is expected to play. Robert Jennings is set to make his club debut at right centre, with Hymel Hunt still battling concussion.

Hopefully Talakai stays put on the other side.

Place wouldnt be the same without Rabs, who knows what Madge plans on doing but I think AJ will be at FB which opens up a spot for Burns and if Hunt isnt good to go then that opens up a spot for R Jennings. Who knows if ARey is available or not , if not thats a whole different ball game???? I for one would like Sutto moved to 5/8 and Walker at half and bring in another big body but thankfully I am not the coach!

Because I've had a old man moment, if I make a trade to bring MOga in for Python now... can I reverse that trade before the Broncos game if need be?

Watched a bit of the Storm game from last week to find out why Smith scored low. A couple of sets during the game he was out defending next to Jacks with KBrom defending in the middle. Not sure if this was because Jacks was being targetted in defense, so KBrom didn't have to make decisions on the edge or because the Bulldogs sent so much traffic that way that Bellamy wanted to win the ruck out wide. Unlikely to happen again IMO but it's worth watching

I believe so. Unless the dpp player you used for the advanced trade has played already, but that's unlikey because said player is probably Suli or Cotric

Pick 4 reserves out of:
Brailey, Musgrove, Matagi, F. Kaufusi, Sironen

Thanks.

Is holding Jbrom a worth while exercise?

I want him in my team eventually, If I sold now, I could bring in some short term money makers, wait for his $$ to drop, then bring back in around Rd 7. Could be trade heavy though. But its the right end of the season to make those sort of actions.

Thoughts everyone?

I am viewing it in a different light and would like some input if I am overestimating how things will play out.

There will be a few underpriced guns coming around by round 4-6 who will be starting to find consistency, Whitehead, Bodene, Merrin, Manners, Burgess, Cleary, and yes JBrom again.

Say you wanted 3-4 of them, where do you get the cash? Downgrading JBrom nets between 200-250k depending on who you go for. My situation is like this, trading JBrom to Musgrove (most expensive player I am considering, now have $325k in bank, had $125k to begin with.

Normally you would sell a cow and upgrade another cow/mid to grab a gun, costs you 2 trades.

So with the $325k I am hoping to do the following by week 5-6
JWH to JBrom for $100k
Siro with average of 36, sell week 7 for 325 for Whitehead (who if he scores one more score below 40 will be able 425k) for $100k
KBrom to one of Bodene/Merrin/Surgess with the remaining cash.

So all going to plan I am using 4 trades to get Whitehead and Bodene,I am also gaining another cow and I haven't touched any of my opening team cows until about week 7-8 when they peak allowing for more time to watch for potential guns/cows

Too much optimism in this train of thought?

Thanks.

I'd skip Matagi

I'd leave out Matagi

Me too on skipping Matagi

I wouldn't risk Gurgess yet. Musgrave will play the same minutes, and Gurgess would probably come off the bench. If you could wait until final teams are named, maybe. It's not confirmed and I don't trust Madge or his weird selections lately. I like Musgrave as a cow, but don't be expecting 50's. Gurgess injury still worries me.

Cheers apprecaite the red and green insights

Can someone post the rules of fantasy; 1) always captain Smith.

I think lone Scout crafted them.

Ugh... you're 100% right Fernando.

Time to drop whoever it takes

He is a clearly a must-own-when-fit player

Burgess and Holmes to Musgrove and Tedesco too dramatic?
