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

If Preston does start at 12 for the Bulldogs does that mean he only gets 20 minutes? I'm confused.

I am looking for that to be true from about round 5, when Preston is much more expensive and most have missed him.

Morning all, returning lurker from the days of NRL Dreamteam after stepping away from Fantasy for a few years - (can’t remember my original Username).
Good to see so many of the old school regulars still going strong on here. You guys have always been extremely valuable and helpful.

Completely TLT dependent but I’m stuck on bench options.
Would you prefer:
Loiero + Nicholls
Or
Hoskings + Ford

Would love any advice or insight you legends could offer.

They would have to be all starting as you say. I prefer the second one. Just because they could go boom, whereas Nicholls will make his money at a much more ploddy rate.

Clicking the magnifying glass beneath one of your posts does the same thing, with a couple of fewer clicks.

Ah...another awesome little tip. Cheers.

Not sure if this is of interest or not, but I made a hindsight team around R12 2022. A team that could have been selected and would have been leading the comp by R12 without having used trades. I thought by looking at it again it might help me with my thinking before RD1 this year. No insights as of yet.

Ummm just saw on instagram the NRLguru posted that he's heard from 2 different sources that Hynes may miss the first 2 months odd of the comp with a leg injury...

"Can't stress enough that this is just a rumour and I've got nothing solid to back it up with, but with many draft comps drafting today I thought I'd chuck it out there. Have been told from two different sources that Hynes could miss the first two months odd with a leg injury"

The Roar has Howarth starting in the centres in their latest effort! At least Rapana is on the wing. They have Wong starting ahead of Egan Butcher. I wonder how much of this stuff is actually based on reliable info.

Has there ever been another player who has debuted from the bench and played that role for five rounds and had high minutes/high score?

Talking League Facebook says "Soooo... hear this might be a thing but wait for the club to comment on it officially"

TK from Talking League usually has excellent Sharks sources.

Are people worried they'll name Hynes on Tuesday but then spring a surprise on game day and play someone else? Sharks play after Panthers, so that would be annoying.

If true, that would be bad for the fantasy game, everyone (bar MattNZ) would be #TeamCleary for captain

Well that really helps in the Hynes v Cleary dilemma. Good luck all you Pick 2 drafters!

that's massive if hynes is out....tricky trindall is 250k...another cheapy who may be relevant
