2017 NRL.com Fantasy Thread Part 30

I wish Frawley would just get named to start, will solve my trading conundrum

Ok I've got my final 4 trade options. Pick 1 please:
(a) Wallace out - J. Graham in or
(b) Yates out - Whitehead in (via McGuire) or
(c) Yates out - Crichton in (via McGuire) or
(d) Abbey out - Slater in

Thoughts & thanks.

Confirmation James Segeyaro's arm is broken....Is having surgery today  @9NewsSyd @Cronulla_Sharks

Well that was a waste of a trade selling Brailey last week.

Like many others on here, sold Brailey last week. I guess they're the breaks (no pun intended) but they never fall in my favour

I sold Brailey but not too upset. Yes he will make more cash but there's the points too. Hopefully Cook will be a more reliable scorer I can put in my 17

Man Seggy out for 6 weeks just after I got rid of brailey

Yeah I got Cook as well & I'd say he'd be really up this week playing against his old team the mighty Bulldogs. Why the Doggies let Cook go & got Lichaa I'll never know.

A or B. Both should be keepers with good bye coverage. Crichton has role risk. I think Abbey will sadly end up a permanent red dot for me, but at least shouldn't be an AE risk going forward.

I think I said ages ago that Segeyaro would break his arm in his first game. Okay that prediction wasn't quite right as it was his fourth game but I wish I had of listened to myself haha.

Are people bringing in Crichton on the fact he is/might be a 80 minute player now? Or for the fact he scored so good? Those are two different questions you need to ask yourself. Don't let his good score cloud your judgement. If he scored 50, played 80, I don't think as many people would be looking at bringing him in, which leads me to believe people are bringing him in because he scored good, and some people think they are going to be magically getting 70's every week now.

Just my 2c...

Best bye coverage, 80 minutes on the edge, has a high points ceiling due mainly to tb's. I know there is some doubt on whether he will actually be nailed as an 80 minute 2fr but he definitely has potential.

Are Sironen owners jumping ship to Whitehead this week?

I'd prefer to Stone/Yates > Whitehead but a lack of cash/DPP is preventing me from doing so..

Dumped Brailey for McInnes last week. Not to upset with the segy news

Tempted to not trade this week.

Only trades I'll consider are elgy to frawly and maybe Yates to whitehead. Seeing as though both are not in my 17 i don't feel a huge rush. Only thing is be's make it favourable to do trade this week.

Well I kept Brailey so I could ride another price rise to a Macca or McInnes. Still worth doing?

Duhhh. What a genius

Don't really understand why at this stage someone would say to you that A is the best option here. If you are purely looking at points per $ b, c or d are clearly the best options over a at this stage.

I think b and c are good trades right now if you want them longish term, Yates needs to go and has peaked due to the emergence of Wardle and Tupou, and Whitehead and Chricton are both about to take off. Take your pick.

For the record I'm getting Chricton this week, Whitehead next week and probably Graham the week after (but not for Wallace who I will access closer to round 12). He is not hurting my team with scores ranging from 38 to 55.

I did a double cashout last week (Hingano to Hampton and Talakai to Idris) so I could jump from one of Siro/Frankenstein/Yates to Whitehead this week.

Hate to lose a DPP, but Yates has gotta go between those 3.

Siro's now the weakest in my forwards.. Can maybe slip an upgrade to Bodene in there in a week or two, but doesn't seem too urgent.

If you can't raise the cash for Stone/Yates to Whitehead this week, I'd probably try to hold off a week if you can. Haven't checked all the BE's, but Yates, Kelly, Suli, RJennings, Talakai, maybe not Moga just yet.. but all have pretty much peaked if you can find a cashout option.

Ed 5 Crichton started inn2nd row did he play 80? Only scored 30 odd then I think, that's the week wags auto fill team got him and was a bit disappointed. I am upgrading Yates this week and it looks like whitehead or Crighton but if crightons norm is more 40 he isn't worth it. Whitehead should hit 50s from now on but the extra cash and more money made would be handy
