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.

Musgrove seems like a tricky one. Has the potential, just can't take that next step. Looks like we are all thinking about getting the cash now for the McInnes move, good times.

Yes mate CWalker and his DPP already serving a purpose

You got any banked cash?

Same boat as you fella, DSaifiti over Wallace and Moses over Norman/SJ has murdered me early doors, at least the McCullough choice is paying off as Brailey owners will soon be going in different directions when changing teams

I've got $105k ITB, so can't upgrade him to a top level gun without downgrading one of the many crappy CTR/WFB's who all hopefully still have a little coin left to make. Which is why I am leaning towards Gutho. He has good byes and I can shift him to WFB later where his scores are more acceptable and he is potentially a keeper.

Anyway, I'll have a few beers at golf today and do some stupid trades tonight after that!

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.

hopefully a fuckiing 50 since I'm going to hold him.  Probably won't play him so I'm expecting at least that haha.

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

Capewell is both filling in for Beale. Also playing centre to allow Bird at fullback a day Holmes on wing. If Holmes ever gets full time fullback spot then Capewell likely misses out for Feki/Lee on the wings.

Who knows though. Really you have to take a punt on someone holding their spot.
Capewell/Ponga/Talakai/Jennings they are all risks, just have to fluke the right one

I'll get on board if no-one has taken you up....haven't read the next 5 pages though so ignore if you are booked out.

Can't believe the Raiders are outsiders.....

Why are you guys looking to trade out Brailey so quickly? even if he averages a measly 32pts with Seggy's return, he's still going to gain good cash over the next few weeks.

Isn't the money better off spent fixing other areas?

People just get excited by his numbers but arn't looking at how he scored them during the game. Game 2 especially, scored 20 points in about 79 minutes. He has a twenty in him for sure. Even as a Gutho owner it would be funny if he gave it this week to panic all those who just traded him in

Does he have a -3 in him pre-updates though? Or a 5 in him? Like that P.O.S. Moses? I'm not excited by Gutho's big scores, I'm over Moses shit ones. If I didn't already have Elgey I would upgrade Moses to Elgey.

The way I look at it, Seggy was one of the best hookers in the game, if you have him at your disposal, you wouldn't not use him. I think we are all just being realistic that we don't think it will be long until we see Brailey back to the bench, if not gone altogether.

Good point mate. I just think Brailey owners are freaking out & panicking including myself haha. Panic because his days are numbered & freaking out because no one has enough cash to move to McInnes/McCullough.

Glad I went worth Guth from the start but find it strange the clamour to get him, mostly FB groups, with Norman back

I don't think we are panicking at all, just a matter of time. It's Seggy.

Brailey needs to be moved but you can hold him for this week. -6 BE, he will still make a little cash in the NPRs

Good week to start planning on replacing him though.

I don't see Seggy playing this week, but definitely next week.

I think if the NRL can register him then he'll be in the 17.

I don't see him playing big mins this week so hopefully Brailey can still get a 25 or 30. If Seggy is in the 17 though, Brailey will be in my NPRs. If you've got seggy on the bench you probably get him on before half time.

Might actually be good for Gallen with one less forward on the bench, but Brailey probably goes back to NSW CUP to hone his trade once Seggy is up to speed, which should not take him long.

I agree, he's now priced at a 42 average. Don't see him scoring that against both the Sharks and the Raiders in the next two weeks. However, he then has the Warriors and Tigers.

Personally, I will now have to wait closer to round 12 bye with a lead in against Cowboys, Roosters, and Raiders. If the Warriors and Tigers can contain him I see his price coming down to around $350K again in time for the byes, which I will jump at, but not at $400K. No thanks. $50K better spent getting fallen players like Jbrom, Whitehead, Podene, Mannering, Surgess, Gallen etc

Exactly my thinking. If Seggy plays, I'll probably still have to play Brailey, but could go Sironen I guess.

Are we overlooking Seggy's potential and it could be a straight swap, as opposed to lashing out the 300K for McInnes?

McInness to score 70+ again this week vs Warriors, bound to get some tackle breaks and maybe even a try this week against their terrible ruck defense, I actually think he will get a barge over try this weekend.

McInnes for 80.

Brailey and Segy to get 50/30 split. Owners can hope for 30 points this week before it becomes 25 points from 40 minutes.

I'm not so sure McInnes will score big v the Warriors. McInnes scores the bulk of his points with defense/tackles & I'm not so sure he'll be able to rack up a big tackle count with the Dragons having all the ball & dominating the Warriors.

Really want to hold Holmes but being named on the wing again, as well as seeing how nicely Slater scored without really doing anything out of the ordinary has me considering the trade. Provides quality cash to be used for the 2rfs that are dropping in prices as well as consistent scores that I know where they are coming from

I was just trolling the panicked Brailey owners. Think we have two weeks before the panic sets in. Will inevitably be timed with a whole heap of injuries to high owned players.
