NRL Fantasy 2023 Part 5 - Assemble the base price players

Carty in the run on side ? he would have had to improve is tackling or whatever it was he was doing out there, one of those you can get a free look at round 1 without too much damage.

Yeah, he's not as good as iPap though. He's not as good as Matterson either.

He's been a bench player if that at Parra for two years, and he's not some improving young kid.

Quick120k if he averages 45 for three weeks. Still might be worth it if you get lucky with his scoring, but enough with the season keeper predictions.

TBF the point is that there may be a role after the three weeks is up, whether starting or bench. Even if they were lower scores, enough with a lower BE to eke out another price rise or two would make it worthwhile.

Gotta love the Tuaimalo Vaega Boys

Just on Carty/Doorey, Eels first five is Storm, Sharks, Sea Eagles, Panthers, Roosters. There's a world where there don't win any of them, and Jack Murchie is still on the roster (plus Matto back R4, Lane soon after).

Also, with those fixtures would maybe incline to the tacklebot rather than the flair attacker.

Struggling to fit all the edges I want in while maintaining positional balance..

Keen on Katoa, Loiero, Wilton, Butcher, Garner, Doorey

How many is too many

Good point.

I currently am. I had Boyd there for a while, but if Boyd goes down I'd be left with TMM. Moses seems a reasonable option with his bye schedule but I'm not sold on him either. Cherry-Evans feels comfortable.

I could be 'wong' but you may not need to look at either of these two..whispers out of Roosters and on a few socials and out of Fox (if you can believe them) is Wong to start ahead of Egan Butcher.

TLT is going to throw a few curveballs.

If that' s true, it's impossible to know the rotations, but starting base price edge for the Rooster you have to take right? Doesn't make my r4 problem any easier.

For sure. Potentially Egan plays a mix of mid and edge I guess but still a no brainer for base price.

I got Drinky & Holmes in my team now going Uto if he starts also IKatoa

Well that’ll be good if Wong starts that means Egan will get more minutes from the bench

And you just know Trent will switch up before kickoff

I find the Wong rumour very unlikely btw. Still expecting Butcher/Butcher.

Hynes and walsh were two of my first picks and haven’t left my team

I’m genuinely flummoxed as what to do

that's what I heard on Podcast Fantasy Degens, that Egan rotates off the bench to cover mid/edge, unsure on Wongs minutes, but word was they prefer Wongs defensive abilities on edge.

If Wong is named to start I will have him in my NPR for sure, ahead of Blore and possibly Doorey too, who I wasn't overwhelmed by in trials and who had a recent injury.

Nice m8 I went Cheese my main hooker. Keepers: Haas, Tapine, Cleary, Douehli, Holmes and Drinky

Yeah,waiting for tomorrow arvo but somehow based on thoughts long gone I see I have Niukore and Keppie sitting in my team.
Any thoughts on them before TLT?
I imagine I'll drop both.

So the Wong news comes from a podcaster with one episode? Anything more concrete than that?
