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.

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.

Cotric, Moga, Talakai, Kelly, RJennings, Suli.

Leaning towards the first four.

I haven't given up on Brailey to Seggy as a stepping stone to McInnes. Think I will just hold Brailey for the next couple of weeks and see how it all pans out. But from what I understand, Seggy was doing well and in form for Leeds, and has been training all this time with the Sharks. Shouldn't take him too long to get his match fitness and if he does and gets the minutes could be in for anywhere up to 200k in price rises. Am I dreaming?

I still maintain that trading Gallen to JDB as you suggested at this point of the season is ridiculous. Finding the cash to upgrade someone like Sironen, KBrom or the like to JDB is a far superior point upgrade then Gallen to JDB.

Not a bad plan there mate. When it's time Brailey to Seggy to McInnes.

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.

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

GreenMachine wrote:Anyone of the mindset with Brailey "I know you have a low BE, but thanks for the memories" ?

What does the cash making difference look like for example with McInnes busting out another 70 and Brailey sub 30?

I've got cash set aside to go Brailey to McInnes next week
Jacks comes into my 17 for Brailey if Seggy makes the bench
