And having several forwards backing up from Origin in Round 13 will probably mean Round 13 isn't a reliable indicator of minutes either. I'd imagine Gillett, Moose and Thaiday will probably get big minutes in Origin so they may get a bit of a rest in Round 13 with Macca staying out there.

Good thinking, you're right.

Every year we surmise that the origin players won't back for their clubs or if they do will get an early rest but every year they all play & nothing really changes re their minutes played. I've also heard them say that they actually prefer their club game to be closer to origin because the later the game is played in the weekend the more their body seizes up & their body actually feels ok playing closer to after origin.

[quote="danseels1985"]Trying to figure out a way to bring Gallen into my team for next week and I think the only way is to punt McGuire. Should I do it or not? [/quote

I would.

Have the money for either but what's a better choice tapau or de Belin. Already have burgess gallen lolo and Brown

Fifita has been really good the last couple of weeks, but only playing one game in the next four rounds is not ideal.

Alot of cash/points sitting on the bench.

So i think a trade to Gallen is a must do next week, and will trade Fifita back in after the bye rounds.

NRLFantasy had not changed its scoring, rules or stats provider in 3 years. In what way do you think is getting closer to supercoach?

Didn't they bring in 40/20s in the last few years? And it always used to have a lower salary cap then SC and always used to have less trades. I think they are at parity now.

Yeah Lolo is nuts.

I had to rewind a few of his runs last night.  I can't believe how well he can move.

It's pretty insane. Him and Fifita both last night. It was awesome to watch.

my tv broke wrote:There is a tweet which Wacko just re-tweeted saying Rankin will start at 5/8 tonight for the Tigers. Not terribly fantasy relevant. too expensive to be used as a reasonable cash out and probably scores poorly anyway. then you have Lolohea who may come across

Will probably goal kick.

Wouldn't be too interested in him for fantasy, but he might be a good pick up in draft comps.

I have Fifita and McGuire but thinking I will hold. I have Idris, Norman and CHN that can be traded out next round to any combination so will probably go Norman and CHN to CWalker and JGraham and cash out Idris since he gone for the season. Hopefully a good Idris replacement comes up and scores well. Means I won't have Gallen for round 12 but he misses round 13.

If you could only pick 2 to bring in next week, who would you choose?

Graham
Gallen
Brown

Or get all 3 meaning I lose both McGuire and Fifita

I would lose Fifita before McGuire, misses too many games in the coming weeks

Of those 3 I would prioritise Gallen in first, then not sure. Brown plays an extra bye round but Graham proably the better overall scorer.

Price-wise Brown should come in before Graham

I would get all 3. If you just want to get 2 I would get Graham & Gallen.

If I had to pick, definitely Graham and probably Brown. Graham is a top 3 FRF with great byes and isn't gonna get cheaper. Brown seems like a must have with his bye coverage. Gallen is super valuable as well but is pretty expensive right now.

Although I'm personally selling Fifi and McGuire and will have all three. Not sure if that's correct though.

Graham's BE is 72.
He will almost certainly be cheaper next week.

Bellamy saying that Brandon Smith will travel with the squad and 'he's been knocking on the door for several weeks.'

WTF?!

Also, sometimes its better to get the 50 points, than save $10k

my tv broke wrote:Cody Walker signed a contract at Souths for X pay and is unhappy that Souths won't upgrade that contract, mid contract. Is this correct?

So the reverse of that would be a club saying to a player "you're not performing to the level we pay you, sorry but we're going to pay you less, even though you're still contracted for the high amount".

Pretty much. He knocked back the Broncos offer to stay at Souths and now even though he's signed a 3 year deal he wants more money now. The potential Gagai signing is obviously the fuel behind it all.

Yeah, but the original comment was asking about who to bring in next week. I suppose it's possible that Graham's price could drop again the week after but I imagine you'd want to get the bye round player in for R12.
