NRL Fantasy 2023 Part 6 - We're getting the Carty Party back together

Absolutely right. No logic at all to giving it to players who aren't names (Dunn, Sadrugu) but not to team who's not playing (BMM). Either do neither or both.

Just had a peep at 2022 R4 and 5 when Lane was out with an injury. Matterson filled in for Lane in that position for 2 weeks. Seems logical that Matterson will slot back there once back from suspension until Lane returns? Carty is a bad player, but is Doorey any better? Did he pass any eye test at all during trials? What was his fantasy score like?

So why don't I trust it?

I mentioned seriously considering this in my team tracker most recent post.

Well, I've just done it and kind of like it. Basically meant going Cleary, Miller, Ponga and about 100k bank to Cook, Teddy and TMM. Team actually looks... better? Could also do Grant instead of Cook and keep the bank.

Officially its a light calf strain and he won't be out long. There are some rumours its a bit more serious

I certainly wouldn't be starting with him. The big question is whether you think Trindall will get enough games. No point scoring 30 points above your BE if you only do it for 1 week.

Theres a blog called the cumberland throw with a few eels fans who turn up to training a lot, and know their shit

Sifting through it seems like Doorey had front running for edge spot with lane, but they expect matto to play edge when he returns. Some of the training notes seem to indicate matto was training on edge in the ressies.

When is Lane back ?

Shaun Lane went straight to hospital after nasty head clash here. Obvious concern is for jaw/facial fracture, if scans confirm would be facing at least a month on the sideline, can extend beyond 2 months if fracture severe or complex pic.twitter.com/UWIfN1G6uW

Someone posted that nrl physio had 2 good sources that the injury could be longer. 

Never a good sign when the teams star player isn't named with a chance of playing this week and a late out, often means they aren't close to being right. 

I am going with Trindall, upside potential is amazing if he is out a few weeks or either Moylan or Kennedy were unavailable for any reason, I would expect him to be first cab off the rank.

Thanks. Considering Trindall as a 250k alternate to Blore/Doorey who is highly playable in your 17

Milchcow wrote:

Trindall is a much better bet than Blore/Doorey, especially in terms of week 1 scoring potential

Concern is if Hynes comes back after a week, its a bit of a waste

All of those games at lock were games Jake Trbojevic didn't play in.

Wit JTrbo at 10, I would worry that Keppie is playing lock in name only, and am tempering my excitement for him
