NRL Fantasy 2022 Part 39 - How big is yours?

Mulvy wrote:I'm still leaning towards a bold punt of trading Haas out. Missing two out of the next five and playing busted. It's a punt and don't recommend it for everyone, but I think I have a trade or two more than average. Current team:

Cook
Haas Lolo Ming
Ipap Tuilagi
Cleary Hastings
Burton Tago
Pappy Hynes Coates

Starling Nanai Schneider Jones

Ilias Taafe Koula Thompson 134k 24 trades

Jones is obviously a problem, Coates is a risk in the 17 and I'm getting less confident with Schneider.

I'm considering Haas -> TPJ, frees up cash and plays two extra games in the next five weeks. Allows Jones to Turbo. I like the idea of getting a head start on him. Luxury for a fantasy coach not generating enough cash though... Would leave:

Cook
Lolo TPJ Ming
Ipap Tuilagi
Cleary Hastings
Burton Tago
Pappy Hynes Turbo

Starling Nanai Schneider Thompson

Ilias Coates Taaffe Koula

Gun 13, but bench a bit weak. Happy to play Thompson in the 17 this week though. Only leaves 35k though and then I'll find myself wanting to upgrade Thompson with no real pathway. Although Coates wouldn't be too far off being able to cash in.

Another option is Teddy instead of Turbo. Means I have 126k for further upgrades.

Third option was do the Haas to TPJ and Jones to Turbo trade, but delay TPJ for one week and bring in Elliott instead. Frees up a wad of cash so Thompson/Ilias/Taafe could become TPJ next week. I'd be playing Elliott for the foreseeable future though.

Any thoughts welcome.

I like the idea of getting ahead on Turbo as a potentially season-defining move for someone in the top 100. You're effectively going Haas to Trbo and Jones to TPJ, which seems... big-balled but good?

I'm also trying to figure a route to Trbo in the next couple of weeks, but let's face it have no idea what his price will be after his 40 or 120 this week so getting him now would take any uncertainty out of it.

Yeah the fact I wrote a big long spiel about it, reveals my doubts about it. In 2020 when I was in the top 100 I wrote a spiel which included the name Wakeham. That didn't go so well. Turbo and TPJ are not Wakeham though. The safe play definitely grab Teddy instead (or not trade Haas in the first place). Frees up more cash, Turbo may still drop cash testing out his knee and high BE. Might even be a fairly cheap trade in a couple of weeks trading Coates to Turbo.

In your position, I don't think I could go Turbo right away.  I'd feel way more comfortable with Ted.  However, there's a reason you're ranked where you are.

He got the 3 Dally M points so can’t have been a complete spud. Surely Ricky takes that in to account when dishing out his minutes.

He’s my Talakai

Edit: Loomer’s on the bus with me.

Nice, your team value starting to make good things happen. Should fly up the rankings. What's the plan with Koula? Watch and wait on Turbo?
