NRL Fantasy 2023 Part 11 - The case of the mistrusted team lists

I think Apisai Korosiau could be worthing watching, you would think he will end up playing 80 minutes soon.
Haven't seen him mentioned though looks a good value option if you can't afford a Harry Grant/Damian Cook/Reece Robson

He has started bleeding some cash after playing off the bench and you might get him low 600s soon

Might be an easy swap with Brandon Smith owners at the Roosters bye if you feel like a change then
Round 7 bye though but you can't have everything nice

Saw this today which was pretty cool highlights package starting at 1998 .

Some great names mentioned here

Had Nicholls well and truly in my team up until TLT and got cold feet with him on the bench. Super annoying obviously as Wallace barely played and his try led to big cash gain after week 1.

Looks good for around 50mins, Stone being out should only help.

Only concern is I expect a low 40 average from him, probably only makes $100k from here based on that? (missed $50k by not starting with him). So not sure if he's quite worth it now.

Wallace played lower mins due to Butcher cannonball being free interchange for Nicholls. I expect Wallace would have played remainder of game given he come on for 2nd stint in 61st min and off in 63rd min for Nicholls

Ah yeah of course forgot he was the victim of that

Checked the stats and only played 6 games at LK, all at the end of last season. 29 tackles, 100rm and 4 MTs per game, so 31 base just using those. MTs are -2, not -3 if that's where you got -12 from.

MTs are -2 like Errors and Penalties which is where he gets -12 average 4 x MTS 1 x Err 1 x Pen

Hi all. Was on holiday last week and final team was put together in a drunken haze without much time to read the forum or listen to podcasts.
Don’t think I got it too far wrong thankfully but picked Garner and definitely want to get rid of him with the role just not looking like being there. Missed out on both Carty & Loiero and can’t decide which one to bring in for Garner. Carty looks good for quick cash but probably more longevity and job security with Loiero (assuming Sims slots into mid rotation as most believe).
Which of the two do people think is the best to pick up as a Garner replacement?

Ah righto, didn't realise you were counting the errors and penalties too. Still puts his base around 39 with his TBs cancelling out the negatives. That's probably why old mate just summarised it with 29 tackles and 100rm.

Starting to wish I started with Garner so I had someone to rage trade

For people bringing in carry let's say he gets benches and is 400k. What will you do if no decent downgrades come up.

Okay… so don’t really have any major issues which isn’t all that bad. No Turbo this week scared me as without bringing in a gun WFB I’m left to play warbrick, Thompson and Miller.

Thinking of running I.Katoa > Carty to jump on the cash train.
Could then do something like Cheese > Walsh… but that leaves Boyd my only hooker.

Also do Bye players lockout game 1 or last game?

Surely someone pops up to allow a smooth transition. If not hopefully he is out of the squad all together to protect the coin

Bye players lockout last game

OR, Matto plays middle and Lane take Doorey’s spot because Carty outplays him and becomes the other big minute back rower?

Cheese to Bird is looking increasingly likely I think. 
And Talau to Carty possibly for a bit of cash, leaves me with no WFB cover but hopefully can sort that next week

Might also look at Cheese to Bird actually… makes me HOK very thin though

That would be just as nice. Think hedging on Carty/Doorey might be the best idea.

Leaves me with Hodgson and Boyd in reserves. Hopefully that works out okay

If I do Cheese to Carty I'll do Uto to Mahoney to cover HOK but atm I'm leaning no trades

Whoever you are arguing with is correct, 90% of the time.

The Community has almost always used Tackles and MG as base stats. These are the Stats you can “expect” each week. For Halves this then includes KM’s, and Goal Kicker’s have goals added.

Negative stats like missed tackles are only ever really included when looking at outlier players, for example, Forum favourite and all round wholesome guy Paul Carter.

Been playing fantasy for a while now, yet to come across a week where there's not a single trade in option.
