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

Walsh getting a lot of love, but what are people expecting?

He loses goalkicking, and also had a bunch of general play kicks that will surely happen less whilst Reynolds is in the team.

His 2021 average of 48 included 3 points of goal kicking, 6 points of general play kicking, and 3 tackle busts per game which are no worth 1 less point.
1 offload a game which could be a couple extra points

So are people just expecting more attacking points now that he's at a better club? Or will he retain enough of those stats to still present a bunch of value?

1. Robbo stated that the goal is for Smith to play close to 80 if possible, but Turpin (Hutcho) is there to cover if needed.
2. Smith's 60+ minute starting HOK games he averages 56.
3. Smith is priced at 40.

He's as easy a lock in your team as Hopgood. Don't see a point in trying to anti-pod him. If he does good, and you don't have him, you're immediately behind. If he does bad, everyone has him and you can curse him together

If he's doing well and is hitting around that 40 mark easily, I'll likely jump on the train in round 4. If he's not doing great and/or getting 40 but through lots of attacking stacks (that are unsustainable) then maybe I'll give him a miss. Would let me start a guy like Doorey for much less, and instead upgrade elsewhere to an out-and-out gun.

I have been toying with the idea, potentially Munster.

I can see parallels between Walsh of 2023 and Hynes of 2022.
Not that Walsh will be top scoring fantasy player this year, more just the vibe around improved scores.

Don't.

That just sounds like it is a disaster. You will end up like MF praying it pays off.



Also without Papenhuyzen in 2021 he averaged 54 points, and 2022 59.8 points

While with Papenhuyzen there he averaged 63.3 points in 2021 and 64.9 points in 2022.

So I would worry he starts off slower as well without Paps too add attacking value.
