NRL Fantasy 2023 Part 4 - It's go time !

robelgordo wrote:Only gun edge I’m considering is Fifita. He’s got a bit of value priced in, if you gamble he starts and plays 60+ all season long.

I know everyone else hates him for being lazy, but I find my players playing like shit but still having a 45 base is way better than the rest of my players playing like shit and also scoring shit.

Liam Martin injured. So its possible they'll both be named round 1, and 1 will be dropped round 2.

Garner seemed to be favourite at one point, whether he still is or not is to be seen.

Nice Swan.

If he starts I'll probably go with him. But Twal and Ofahengaue haven't played any trials, so its hard to work out where Uto sits in the pecking order. But if he can get back to 2021 form there's a lot of value

I think Haas is still the man. He played the entire first half in both trials which you can only assume is preparation for playing the entire half during the season. He didn't com on in the second half either week but you'd assume at least another 20 minutes to round out the game. Maybe 25 depending on scoreline

Carrigan played about 30 in the first half, and started the second half when Haas was off the field. Don't think there's any evidence that he plays such big second half minutes if Haas comes back on, but might in close games.

I have them both at the moment but rating Haas significantly ahead of Carrigan.

Do you really see a role for Twal?

Nothing to say they both won't be playing 65? Ideally Rick needs the bigger minutes to maintain the higher scoring. He won't lose value, but I might turn towards Cotter

mrbrownstone wrote:Team of week 2 of the trials (that's actually cap compliant) (spent way too long on this):

Liddle (51)
NAS (78) Carrigan (72) Yeo (68)
Hopgood (63) Olakuatu (56)
Cleary (62) Johns (51)
Schoupp (61) J Tupou (58)
Garrick (70) AKP (65) Russel (59)  

Weekes (63) Marzhew (55) Hosking (55) Burns (53)

Warbick (52) Kenny (47) BMM (45) Moale (40)

Score of 1118 in the 17 with NAS (c).
How many minutes did everyone play? PPM seems more important in a trial than the score alone. Thanks anyway.

Murray (58) Moses (55) Doueihi (50) and a few others miss out due to cap issues.

Lock that in for round 1.

In all seriousness, it does show the folly of reading too much into the trials. Very few legitimately fantasy relevant/value guys in here.

How could it be mate? His starting edge average is massive! Plenty of BIG scores with no tries! We know how fantasy works

Wiltons obvious issue is JS with Graham still lurking, otherwise he would be in a load more teams

What are you thinking at hooker mate are you looking at someone like Mahoney or going up to a Grant? Or do you think starting Cheese at hooker is fine? I’m expecting Cheese to just play that 57-60mins intially.

Something like team lists would be a huge help to these decisions I’d imagine

Just say 60 minutes
