i'll take a stab

Slater - 10/10
Wallace - hmm 7/10 i reckon
McGuire - 10/10
JDB - honestly, no idea what daleys thinking, maybe 3/10 ???
Hess - kevy seems pretty excited about him but i'll still be surprised if he gets a run (at least in origin 1 or 2) - 2/10
BJ - see above re daley.. 4/10 ?


EDIT: wolfking just beat me, pretty similar results though haha

Damn, we were pretty damn close though mate. Wallace the only big difference. I guess he's playing well enough. Napa was always the next to come in, but he's been shit this year so Wallace a good a chance as anyone I guess.

Thanks Beast, this is fantastic post.  Interesting opinion with JDB, but Gallen is looking good for sure.  I have no one under 200K so I have room to move everywhere which feels good and just need to make the right trades.  The points parts is where having so much depth is having me lag behind, but I'm okay with that for now.  A lot of my squad I have no issues sticking with if their scoring stays up.  I think I am in a decent position, team wise not ranking wise but it's the trades from here that count.  Did well grabbing, Slater, Hess and Ponga when I did though.

my point re JDB wasn't anything like I think he would struggle or anything, was more just that if you were looking at a gun upgrade from someone like Hess in the next few weeks I would say Gallen would be the better pick up with the byes in mind. Especially with Sironen probably having a few more good weeks in him that you could wait on him and upgrade him to JDB for his bye round.

As a whole I think you're team's looking in a great spot. might be dropping a few points each week but nothing that puts you out of range. A few good gun upgrades in the coming weeks will have you catching up in no time, which is what it sounds like you are aware of and planning on doing so

With Parker and Scott gone there are two new spots up for grabs. Napa will be one, and QLD probably need another big body/middle forward. Add to that, not sure if they will stick with Myles, who at this stage is outside Manly's best 17.

In my humble opinion, Jarrod Wallace has been better than Korbin Sims this year, who is also on the radar for qld.

Thanks mate. Yeah, I know it's getting about that time for at least a couple of big upgrades, but the Gallen now for byes and JDB later makes perfect sense, thank you. Was going to go Siro to Whitehead with my second trade, but as you said, he's still going okay, and could hold out for a bigger upgrade. Getting Whitehead I felt would keep that same level of depth across the park with my team and it would give me a good player but I know I need that big gun, in that position anyway.

Cheers lads. @Chewie You've just talked me out of Feeny

Yeah, you're right. We will just have to see if Kev can grow some balls and move Myles on and get more new blood in there.

Hampton or Frawley??? Who do I play in place of A Rey this week?

You're welcome! Good luck

Feeny for 100? Would love to see his face six times on the banner at the top of every page. Wait, what?

Papa will probably get a bench front row spot - we have enough back rowers with Gillett, Guerra, McGuire, Thaiday etc. One of McGuire / Thaiday will probably be a prop too. I agree Wallace has been better than Korbin so probably gets a spot - that would hurt a few Fantasy teams! Napa will be there I expect if his ankle holds up.

Does anybody know anything about David Klemmer? James Graham said on Tues that he is defo out, still in a moon boot. NRL.com still says he will play. My trades somewhat depend on if Klemmer plays or not...

I'm so far down in the rankings it probably doesn't matter what i do, but I'm trading Siro to Whitehead this week. Not sure if i should just bank the second trade.

Team (after 1 trade this week):

Smith, Friend
McGuire, Wallace, Kaufusi, Yates
Gallen, Mannering, Whitehead, Crichton, Stone, CHN
Norman, Lamb, Elgey, Hampton
Sione, Cotric, Kelly, Suli
RTS, Slater, Radradra, TRD, Abbey.

22 trades and 93k

Could go Yates up to JBrom (or down to Gurgess). Really hoping for a cashout or 2 at CTR or WFB in the next few weeks.

I actually did not consider Guerra at all but I suppose he did play all three games last year and QLD like to show loyalty. Personally I wouldn't be picking him but its likely he'll be there. I suppose you need to include Gav Cooper in their considerations as well. Though personally I think Wallace or Sims offer more of what we are lacking (strong middle forward).

Do you guys think Moses Suli playing in centre will improve his scoring? I am very interested in picking up Auva'a before he rockets up

Which one?

A. Sironen -> Whitehead
B. Musgrove -> Tolman

Thanks.

Won't Avua'a be dropped when French comes back (French>Guth>Taka>Avua'a=out?)
