We have alot of people bringing in podene and whitehead yet looking at the best 2ndrowers that means you will be forced to miss out on 2 of the likes of gallen surgess mannering JDB YOLO and maybe papalli unless you are are willing to burn alot of trades in upgrading podene and whitehead at a later stage.

While in the front row the only certain keepers seems to be vaughan fifita and graham.

Very true mate

He is playing Vaughan pretty much as a lock which I never saw coming at 7ft and 120kg. Well done everyone on him... he is this year's set and forget fifita

Origin is annoying for McGuire because I see him as the new gallen/surgess with the DPp as you say, but no one useful to match him with Dpp in the backrow with. Bit annoying. Anyone found a sneaky DPp that is not Yates or Faufusi?

I like him. Must admit.

Extra responsibility and already very explosive. What's not to like

Looking at Gutherson to him

Me too mate.

Under $400k, still has a high B/E but is due a big game.

Sele but may be an AE nightmare, he looked decent though when he came on

I'm tempted by him as well but he is a very rocks or diamonds player. Buyer beware. He also looks like he's carrying a bit of extra timber.

It's a sign.

Hess to Surgess leaves Zero for me. Def. signs that

Was it you who dished up my first loss last week in L7?

That league is on fire btw. Well done guys. I think I'm having a good season and ranked about 5th or 6th in the overall that league!

Who is most important to trade in this week between Crichton, Whitehead, Bj, Brown and Frawley.
Thinking Frawley is most important if named to start
Then Crichton with low BE
Cant decide between the other three of Whitehead, Bj and Brown
All great for byes.

Yep that's clearly the what is not to like the odd 7pts in 80mins he tosses in to keep his average in The 40s not 60s!

Decent call if you don't have Smith, Teddy is due a try

I have Smith, I feel like rolling the dice. He's due a try and against the Eels is his best chance I feel.

Prior to this year Teddy had gone 4 games without scoring twice in his career. His current streak of 5 games tryless is a new record

Hat trick coming up this week then!

Cash wise the move is fine revs. Just fear the 80min guns (Smith, Macca, McInnes) will be putting 30pts on him a week or 50-60 across 2 players if you are captaining your top hooker. Cook should just about match an 80min Brailey but I'm sure no one was buying him for that result, so you have to sweat a Farah origin selection at this point

Smells like the makings of an avatar bet... I reckon Rapa outscores Teddy again this week, both in tries scored and Fantasy points, can i tempt you MF? 


One day I'll have my revenge

The Frawely and Hampton news isn't good for those who got them last week I don't think.

Team lists hasn't changed much for me still between Whitehead and Crichton. N Brown is well and truly on the radar now not sure what his BE is but hopefully doesn't get out of range over next week or two

You've tempted me. Its on!

Why are peoplediyching the limes of Hess for Critchon. Hess has been named to start. I am considering tradi g him in.

- Unless I am missing something. Frawley is outside the 17 now and doesn't look like he will be getting a run this week. As you said if Frawley was named to start he would be atop of the list. However the fact he isn't even on the bench makes it unlikely he will be there.

- Crichton has a low BE, but last week was the first time he played 80 minutes. Although he is named to start which is a good sign. However he is still a risk.

- Whitehead I would let sit for a week. He looked good on the weekend but his score was inflated by a try so I would adopt a wait and see approach for at least one week to see how he scores without a try. (He should still go decent, but I would feel more confident if I saw him replicating last seasons scores.)

- Joey, again same as above. Massively inflated score against a struggling Titans. Wait and see for him to replicating his scores from last year for at least one more week.

- Brown looks like he could be a great option as long as he is getting minutes and is wonderful for bye coverage.

Crichton
Brown
Whitehead
Leilua
Frawley

In that order for mine at the moment. I am less confident on Brown than others are.

Yeah im going to let that unfold in the coming 2-3 weeks and then reconsider that position.
So many yays or nays trade wise this week this possie can simmer a while.
Hows ur squad travelling, like a pack of terracotta warriors ?

For me Hess is due to having exactly 51k in the bank and Hess (BE 40 odd) to Surgess (BE 41) leaves zero.

Final 17 and byes move although fully expect to be shaking my head at Hess exploits come the weekend!

Can't sell Kelly for Crichton without trimming some funds elsewhere. This is getting very annoying

BE is 17.

Meanwhile Crichton has a BE of -3 and Whitehead with a BE of 28.

I'd like to ignore Hampton, but it's hard knowing that I've got to downgrade at least 1 half in the next few weeks
