NRL Fantasy 2023 Part 2 - What's the magic number ?

With the Manly bye in round 2, I think I am happy starting without Trbo, and bringing him in round 3 if he looks the goods.

Even if he guns it and scores a century, you have 2 weeks to plan the trade, and he won't rise that much in value after just 1 week.
Worth it to have a look at him and see what his fitness is like. Unless he can do something in the trials to remove any doubt.

If they are named round 1 both will be in my squad. Comfortably the best options at their price point makes it hard to ignore

Normally I don't, but Holmes, although pricey, has a great draw without the early byes and is a good scorer.

I will always think about doing what people say they will never do. I translate that last quote as "Go on! I dare you!"

For me Manu (C), Milford (VC)

Haven't made a team yet, or even looked that closely at prices, but all I can think is there's so many cheap WFB that look likely to play R1 that people are spending cash elsewhere.

Because Turbo even with the tax looks a steal (similar to Pappy last year). And Ponga I think looks good too.

Injury risk is a bit overstated I think as Turbo will have his USA bionic hammies by then, and Ponga has had a number of HIAs but also a full offseason of rest. Keary and Matterson seem to be coping with their concussion history fine. Cordner and Hipgrave retired. You can't pick it and I don't think you can avoid every player on those grounds

The versatile forward, who was a mainstay of Souths coach Jason Demetriou’s side throughout 2022, has undergone tendon surgery in his foot.

The unfortunate incident occured in January when the Rabbitohs were training at Erskineville Oval.

I will have Cleary or Hynes as captain

I'm thinking of Cook as VC, but Murray seems solid too. Guys like Haas, Cotter, Grant might do OK, but I think that they offer just a touch less security around points than the others.

Pothole must have?

That is certainly high up the leaderboard as most unlikely situation for a NRL player to get injured alongside Jarrod Croker dislocating his shoulder reaching for the TV remote

Perhaps, but you have to ask if that extra 300k could be better spent elsewhere, anywhere else probably!

geez that's unlucky for him.

Does it make any of the Rabbitohs forwards a better buy?

The TV remote one is an all-timer

John Simon once nearly lost a toe when it was cut on a tile in the post-game showers.

Glen Maxwell in cricket was pretty spectacular this summer for bizarre injuries.
