NRL Fantasy 2023 Part 5 - Assemble the base price players

I have a rough idea of guys I wanna go it’s gonna be about picking the right cheapies that has me nervous. Getting that mainly right is very important.

Yep and if he gets injured you only waste one trade trading him out whereas if you don’t start him and he goes well you bring him in then he gets injured you then waste two trades.

Who you trading him too?

Going to need 100k+ to upgrade to Ted/Latrell?

Deal with that when it happens I suppose. Never know what will happen between now and then. I’m picking turbo because I hope he kills it for a period long enough that if/when he gets injured the cash gap will be closed/non existent.

I'm starting with turbo as well also to'o since he will be back on the left now with may done

Can’t see the harm in that if you can’t find a balance elsewhere. It’s a bit rich for me in wfb with turbo as well.

Is walsh due back round 2?

I think so

The third case is where he doesn't start well, and you don't bring him in and he gets injured then you waste zero trades.

All are possible

What are people expecting from Turbo?

The VLandy's ball verison or the one that hasn't average above 50 either side of that?

Even non-VLandy's Turbo was a keeper WFB? He wasn't God-tier like Teddy, but you'd generally be perfectly happy to have him and RTS in there alongside Ted. So, a bit under 50 is perfectly fine as long as he stays fit. The staying fit part is the question.

He's definitely a wait and see for me.

I was tempted by Walsh but it sounds like he's out rd1, there's not a lot else on offer in wfb unless you're prepared to go up to Teddy of Latrell.

Meaney with goalkicking but not the sexiest pick.

I'm with you on To'o, I'm surprised there's not more interest in him on here. Back to the left he is under priced, not saying massively under priced, but in the scheme of the slim wfb options to start the season he's very appealing to me. He can also easily become Turbo round 3 if needed.

it’s hard to interpret what the same rotation as last year means, is Kenny promoted to Api or is Kenny still Kenny?

Api averaged 69 mins last year.

Might be a wait until R4 call, like you say.

Yeah I'm unsure what to make of that... Agree waiting to rd4 seems a smart idea, unless we get some more info before round 1 which seems unlikely. Think I'll be removing Kenny

I still like Ponga at the same price as Walsh/To'o, tbh. Can't see him scoring under 36 when fit in the halves, could be huge upside if he actually plays to his potential. Could also pull up after ten minutes.

Happy team list Tuesday!

Still waiting on my tv from last year

Rabbits would be horrified by my current team with 10 playas at 319k or under. Full guns and rooks, including both Turbo and Teddy in WFB as I see the Millers, CNKs, Perhams etc too unknown.

Personally I think Turbo is value and I can handle his bye if one of the WFB punts prove ok (Warbrick at home v Dogs or Smith-Shields v Dolphins could go well in fact).

And re Teddy. I don't think the opening two fixtures could be kinder and bye in Round 4 eith Egan and Cheese will be Rd 4s problem, want to try fly out the blocks this year.

Did look at To'o and for those keen, he's paying $15 top try scorer

Annoyingly, HSS is CTR only and will stay that way unless he's named at wing in the team lists, which will only happen if Rapana is fullback.

Good morning all.

I’m excited, confused, nervous,

Roll on TLT

As of this morning I have added Hastings and Keppie.
