Yeah he scored 25 last week but gave away that penalty & dropped the ball & may of missed a couple of tackles so if he rectify those errors he should still score mid 30's.
I'm not looking to move him on any time soon.

Guess who has O,Neill in Ultimate, lost him and Munster

Change of plans with Brailey news
Can't have a stop gap hooker so I've reversed Munster to Mannering and gone Munster to Whitehead insteadwhich leaves me about 50k short of Brailey to McInnes
Hopefully Brailey can give us a decent score on the way out and make up some of the difference

I will probably hold him but not play him this week. Better off taking a punt on playing Yates if you have to.

Smith, Brailey
Fifita, FKaufusi, Yates , Musgrove
DeBelin, Gallen, Hess, SMat, Sironen, Winterstein
SJ, Lamb, Elgey, Jacks
Suli, Idris, Talakai, Kelly
Gutherson, RTS, Hayne, Abbey, Cotric

98k in the bank.  Is it too early to go Sironen and Musgrove to Surgess and NPR?

What are you trying to achieve? @KiwiWarriors

Capewell at centre. Beale at #19. Will know how good his chances of keeping that spot are on Friday

While ever Gerard Beale is not being named for Newtown I would be wary. If people need someone cheap who will play 2 bye rounds, then great. But some people have mentioned trading out ET and the like for him, which seems crazy.

But really, what would I know anyway. I would be very happy to be wrong. I would love to see Capewell keep his spot more than anyone. But I also think Flanagan should stop being a dick and put Holmes at fullback as he's far superior to Bird. This would bump Capewell out of the centres either onto the wing or out altogether. I feel like coach is just trying to keep Birdy happy now, as Holmes has already resigned. Dick move if that's the case.

TBO would say Hoare lol.

@Aardvark Ratnick @Liverpool_Bulldog

I don't know much about Capewell - what is his job security like? (who is he currently covering for in the centres?)

Who's the better cheap (sub $200k) CC option in the forwards? Hoare, Capewell, Simpkins, or someone else?

Moga is a hold for now. He can still easily break his BE of 15 this week with a 30/40.

Showbags wrote:KBrom to Whitehead for 35k
Kaufusi to Bodene for 70k
Wallace to JBrom for 30k

- Still a bit too upgrade KBrom for Whitehead
- I'm not convinced that Bodene will be a full 80 minute player this year
- JBrom is not scoring well so far so there isn't much of an upgrade there. Have you got JDB, Fifita etc?

Going from Sironen to JDB is expensive but going from a keeper to a keeper just because they average higher at this point in the season is stupid. You will want both in your side come seasons end anyway.

To be honest I don't think Gallen will be a keeper this year in fantasy. His minutes and involvement has dramatically decreased since mid-2016 post origin. In my opinion, someone in 2RF who averages more than 50 points per game is a definite keeper. Anyone with an average less than that I'm not convinced.

Showbags wrote:reports segy gonna be named on extended bench

Even if Segy ends up playing, still keep Brailey in the team as he can easily smash his BE over the next few weeks even if his score will dramatically decrease to 20/30 per game. Just don't play him as one of your reserves and you'll be fine.

Holmes to Slater, gents?

Loomer wrote:I predict Siro will score 27 which 2 less than BE so guess he will drop $1k maybe. Just rough number in my head Whitehead will lose $17k with score of 40 and $10k with 50 but only would play one of them in my 17.

Only other trade I'm considering is maybe Hayne>Ponga but will he be gone in a week? Have used first trade on Koro>Jacks

I honestly think you should consider downgrading Siro to a cow ASAP. You wouldn't want to spend your cash upgrading him now.

What is Manly's lineup? Specifically in relation to Addin Fonua Blake and the forwards and bench?

Nrl.com website team lists don't allow me to see all the teams, just the first game.

Why won't he play 80? Pure speculation here, but my prediction is this week Brailey starts seggy on bench, next week other way around, third week no brailey. Any Sharks fans have a better guess?

The only things re: hooker rotation that I've heard in pressers directly from the coach are
1. "Brailey is the club's long term hooker"
2. "Segeyaro will probably have a few games with Newtown before play first grade again"
Take from that what you will. Your guess is as good as mine. I would like to think they won't drop him completely but who knows. We will see this week if he was talking crap on the second point or not.

zorasdomain wrote:What is with all the Capewell love? He only got a starting spot because Beale AND Feki were both out with injuries. If either or both of them are back he won't start. As I've already said, he'll surely be a bench utility at best. Good for byes but zero job security. Anyone dropping a playing player for him will be very disappointed.

In saying that he does appear to have made people SOME money ($35K so far) but I agree that he's not worth bringing in now if he's got lack of job security. With the Sharks there are already a few reliable interchange forwards that are ahead of Capewell if he's meant to sub in for Gallen, Graham etc

I think Asiata. I brought him in this week. My tip is Hoare will get the boot next week when Lolo returns. Asiata like to get in on the action whilst on the field.

Spectre wrote:Idris played under Cleary at the panthers right? Hopefully he gets the coaching gig then Idris slots straight in to starting centre

Idris should lose a few pounds first before thinking about slotting back into starting centre. At the moment he looks more like a bench FRF.

Thats what I wish to do but dont know which one, its whats driving me crazy!
