Would have to get rid of Lichaa too then.

Jake Friend could be a good POD around Segs price

Seggy > Walker via Niko
Leuluai > Carter

Problem is my team bar the backs is

Niko, Lichaa
Woods, LAM, Evans, Grant
Surgess (c), Guerra, Cartwright, Whithead, Carter, Saifiti
DCE, Hastings, Walker, Taylor

Thoughts lads?

I would just be biting the bullet and trading you two injured hookers with your options being a combo of

Smith, Peats, Friend, McCullough, Randall and Garvey or get Walker through Niko.

Leave yourself some cash and go Leuluai to Carter next week if you still want him, for all we know Carter could get injured next week then you will still have Lichaa sitting there.

For me I would be getting Smith and Walker for Lichaa and Segy. You can thank me later. Eels and Roosters won't do as much defending like that all the time eg Smith > Peats, Friend and Broncoes will attack more often than defend (bad for McCullough as a tackler). Then fix up your backs next week with the 300k you have

Haven't read the thread yet and haven't tried logging out and back in, but is anyone else still not able to access the rankings?

Smith, J-Nik
Woods, Surgess, Leuluai, Evans
Parker, Whitehead, Rochow, Safiti, Cartwright, Bhana
DCE, Taylor, C-Walker, Hastings
Roberts, Lafai, Benry, Guth
Tedesco, Barba, Ferg, Feeney, Mitchell

717 first round so although better than expected, definitely not great but no major injuries or concerns.

I would be going Leiluai to Carter and getting your money from one of the backs eg Roberts, Lafai or Ferg

Has there actually been any confirmation on AReynolds specific injury and time off? I mean I know it is jaw related, but has it been confirmed it is a fractured jaw, and how long the recovery is? 

Same thing for Lichaa, nothing concrete yet right?

I'm going LAM to Carter (too many people to take mins from LAM in that side, should have taken JTrbo to start with damn it).

Second trade not sure Lichaa to Garvey, or Randall if out more than a month, if not then possibly Taylor to Walker if Reynolds out more than 6 weeks (I see walker making enough more than Taylor over 6 weeks to justify that trade).

Also considering getting rid of Eden for Hymel Hunt who possibly sees 100k increase over the next 6-8 weeks or so. Thoughts on this last one? Would purely be as a cash earner, not a starting player, have Green and Fergusson in centres.

747 for me.

No trades needed, although Grant is on notice.

ARey broken jaw out for 6 weeks.

Nothing concrete on Lichaa yet

How did he go in the allstars Game?

From what I remember he played pretty good. Service was fine and made his tackles. There was a graph of the scores players would have made in Fantasy and he got a 35 so should make a bit of money if given a decent run in first grade.

Any word on his kicking game?

Thanks JBG +1

Same thinking here.

Hasler loves his 80-minute hookers. You could play a plank of wood as Dogs' number 9 and it'd average 40.

Lack of info on Lichaa stopping me make any trades just yet though.

He started slowish last year from Memory he def dropped a fair amount of cash at some point but a dangerous game waiting too long on someone like Hunt who can bang out consecutive 80s no problem mate, if you can judge it right and if you can get the likes of Bunt when he bottoms out, great feeling

His breakeven is 76 this week, I will be keeping an eye on his scores

I did a dummy run this morning and boarded the Gravy Train.  I now have just over 3/4 of a million in the kitty.  Pity I'm ranked nearly 18000.

First @7NewsSydney: @NRL_Bulldogs hooker Michael Lichaa to undergo knee surgery for torn meniscus on Monday. Could miss between 1-3 months.

"Could" and "1-3 months" is not exactly concrete information just yet...

1 month might make a Randell trade more sensible, 3 and Garvey is go.

Im ranked in the 16k. I should have run with the team I PMed you...

Maybe I can avoid the KFP curse by trading in Macca instead of Randell/Gravy? Problem is if Macca goes down then not only is my Fantasy team fucked but so are the Broncos...
