I currently have Smith/McCullough as my 2 hooking options.

Im thinking, subject to having a look at Segeyaro over the next few weeks of trading out Cam Smith for Segeyaro.

The rationale:
(1) there are quite a few value players coming onto the market over the next few weeks (Whitehead, Taumalolo, Slater, Bodene, Leilua.....) and I will need to find some $ to get them this potentially solves that. Segeyaro has been priced at $320k (could go lower depending on how the sharks play him to begin with). Smith Looks set to hang around the $600k mark give or take.

(2) Segeyaro himself is likely to be significant value, particularly if he comes off the bench at least once, but is likely value anyway

(3) I'm probably gonna trade out Cam anyway as he will miss 4 rounds? from TRnd 12 to Rnd 19 so this way I trade him out early and cope with out him for an extra 4 or 5 rounds....

(4) Segeyaro has good bye coverage and compliments McCullough relatively well over that period.

Am I nuts?

If you have the trades, it makes sense. But for those few games Cam does play he scores well.

Cheers ST. I saw them but im after the excel type ones where you can put your team in and it pumps out the numbers for each round. Ive looked through the FB groups but i think it might be a bit early. Cheers for the reply ST, thumbs up for you

Hey bullbender. My 2017 team planner has one.
Should linked in the stats thread or page 1 of the fantasy thread.
I'd find it myself but on mobile.

Almost traded in Maubbs in this comp for ET.
Hope I don't regret it

Cheers Milchy. Ill have another look. I like the trade. I dont think you can go wrong with Maubbs this year with Matterson and Watson on the bench. Might change when some big boys return but for now he is just about a must have to sure up that centre spot at the moment and gonna make some cash in the interim. Still too much uncertainty with ET

Dude was on track to get 80 odd last night but instead plays 40min, doesn't make his BE and therefore will be even cheaper. Add him to the list of value buys I reckon! Sux for those who already have him though huh!

Hey mate, I dunno about that. I think this HIA stuff is going to mess with a lot of fantasy coaches, just like Sam Burgess last night so nothing is guaranteed. Let's hope both of us hit 900 this week.

I'd dump Kaufusi and play Yates.

I have both as NPRs this week.
Would have swapped Yates in for Musgrove if he hadn't already played. As it is will keep Yates out of team for now

jelejasof wrote:Thanks guys, I think starting Yates was the right call, especially given this news that Seggy is on the bench.  Now to choose between Kaufusi and Brailey for last reserve.

Anyone want to talk me out of trading JT for Norman?

Does it need to be this week JJ?

Just to show how luck plays out in this game I wanted to go Elgey > Jacks which didnt allow me enough funds to go Farah > McInnes and ended up going with McCullough instead, so far so good.
