2017 NRL.com Fantasy thread part 21

Was going to go Siro to Whitehead, but that can wait a week.

I have 246K and possible want to go Brailey straight to McInnes next week if possible. But also want Whitehead.

Thinking Hayne to Ponga just to store the cash, but is this really worth it?

Also, I think Crichton is a gun player but don't see him keeping a starting spot. Look at Musgrove.

Don't go there mate. Simpkins is really injury prone & will only cause you distress.

Simpkins is a shit player too.

Yep I would go Hayne to Ponga to increase your cash reserves for your McInnes purchase.

I know we have discussed Hoare but please refresh this old mans memory. Do we think he stays in the 17 when Taumalolo returns. I need to start generating some cash when the time comes to sell Brailey. I was thinking of selling Musgrove & buying Hoare for the cash grab. Cheers all.

1) Should I downgrade Sironen?
2) Who to out of Capewell/AFB/Chricton?

I could go Capewell this week, bank some cash, take 1 week to look at AFB/Chricton then trade Frankenstein out to 1 of them next week?

EDIT: Sironen is currently my 4th reserve with the only other options being Frankenstein, Elgey, Kelly, Suli, Moga and TRD with two FRF nuffies doing F all. I wouldn't be so keen on playing capewell as 4th reserve as I would AFB or Chricton.

Thanks mate. It's tricky cause his job security is shit, but looking at their injury toll, he could sneak a spot for a while, even on the wing if Coote returns. I'm losing points, but I'm all about the money at the moment, I think. Ponga is an easy choice in the 17 also.

Would get rid of Moga or Suli, but they could still bust out a 30 and make some more cash. I don't see holding Hayne much benefit at the moment.

Liked the look of Slater too, but he can wait at the moment too.

That's a great thought. I didn't even think of downgrading Musgrove yet, but I think Hess moves back to the bench and Hoare probably the one to drop out.

Cheers for scaring me away from Simpkins. I might look at Capewell to cashout to instead. At least he'll earn me some points during the bye rounds

I'm staying away from the Bunnies roulette of players. Who knows what they'll line up with next week.

Who's my best bet for 4th reserve this week: Brailey, Yates, Jacks or (gasp!) Sironen?

Yeah I would probably hold Moga & Suli for the time being because as you say they are still capable & maybe reassess next week. Ponga is a risk but I can see him (a) making good cash & (b) hanging around longer with all the injuries. After a couple of weeks I reckon he'll of made enough cash for a direct swap with Slater. Also by this time Slater would of played 2-3 games & if he stays fit you can make a more informed choice.

Brailey if no Seggy, or Jacks. Siro should be safe for 35, then last week happened.

This is great advice mate, thanks. Thumbs up.

Cheers, yeah those were pretty much my thoughts too.

Yeah I think I'll hold off on that trade. Next week when Taumalolo returns then I'll know for sure on Hoare's status & Musgrove will still make a little cash this week.

Brailey should play 45 to 50 still...around 30/35 points

Yates will get same game time like he did in the first two weeks, last week Smat got injured so he got more time...30/35 points

Jacks should get around 30/35 points

Sironen is a useless lazy prick so he should get around 40 after fan hub bump up his points

Not sold on Capewell, he is just filling in for the injured Beale right?

Right I think I will take the plunge on Chricton, he can sit there until the byes if need be I don't really care. Should still score the same as Sironen if from the bench. Allows me to Ponga in.

Team for the week is:

Smith(c), McInnes
Fifita, Faufusi
McGuire, Wallace, SMat, Chricton, Yates
Norman, Johnson, Jacks
DWalker, Cotric
Turbo, RTS, Ponga

NPRS of Frankenstein, Elgey, Moga, Kelly, TRD, Suli, Leota and Papalii. Not much doing here.

I agree with what Wolfking said. Brailey if no Segge or Jacks. Yates minutes were inflated last week due to injuries. You never know what you'll get with Sironen.
