NRL Fantasy 2023 Part 13 - Reece Walsh, Future Immortal

604/14c

661/12 (C) - Doueihi, Boyd, Difita, Miller and Talau to come.
Had Ford’s 4 contributing and Preston’s 66 burning a hole on my bench (as I’m sure most others would have).
Should crack 800 which seems to be tracking as an average score this week, hopefully can pull out a 850.

Trade for the week will be Walsh in for and underperforming cow (have the cash itb).

Net result of + 119 points and a bundle of cash

I reckon it would be an absolute blinder if you end up in the top 10 and everyone on the forum is backing you Matt.
2023, the year of the Kiwi.

Can't believe how much changing from BMM trade in to Ford 15mins before Warriors game backfired.

Obviously the Ford HIA itself but if I had left it I certainly would've got Preston instead once he moved to starting.

Even talked about potentially getting Preston earlier this week but never really stacked up with that bench role and score round 1. Thought worse case he might put up a 40.

Feels pretty punishing.

CNK and Cheese the other problems. Will need to grab a hooker for Smith, not keen on running Boyd only. Since Preston will be one trade in Walsh is definitely going to have to wait.

779/14 C Have Talau and Miller tomorrow and 43 from MCK in the lo*p

Of course I benched Alamoti because he was playing the Storm and he scored 40. That about sums my first two rounds up.

Watch Talau score -4 to top it off.

The Bludgers are bludgerising their way to 750 (ish).
683/14 (C) chin - like most here.
Congrats to the Hop-god captainers, well played. Easy C choice next week.
Glad I ditched Cheese.
Carty-Party bus is still on the road.
Hammer was a pleasant surprise.
Walsh looks better than I thought he would, E.Butcher may become him.
Preston is cow central. My only question - what happens when TPJ gets back on the paddock?

Well sitting at 11/645c. So gutted I didn’t bring Preston in for points but was worried about what his role would look like this week given what happened last. Happy to get the $ incoming though! Long way to go and hard to tell if it’s a good weekend yet or not.

Good effort mate, you’re in for a cracker score!

I'm pretty sure there was confirmation TPJ would be playing middle. Shouldn't affect Preston

Lock him in Eddie.

It might if they put him at lock and start RFM back on that edge

Huge!

Might be a good time to load up on the Titans next week, because I don't see how we can do much with this injury list


Papy
Munster
NAS
Sims
Kamikamica
Coates
Olam
Seve
Gennings
Ieremia
Eisenhuth
Moeroa

5 of those arguably aren't even in the 17 on a regular week

Plus you've said multiple times Seve is really bad and never want to see him play for the Storm again etc etc

I am available for selection for Melbourne, but being outside the top 30, probably won't get a look in

Seve showed a lot of improvement at the end of last year, and any of the injured wingers would be better than Grant Anderson, even Ieremia would have been better (albeit not by much).

At full fitness our bench would probably be Wishart, Sims, Kamikamica and Eisenhuth, so out of the guys I've listed as injured, only Ieremia, Gennings, Seve and Moeroa would not be top 17 but my real point here is that we're down to the second tier of depth since the first tier backups are injured themselves.

590/13(C)

Sitting around the 52000 mark, worst start I've ever had by a distance. Even the first year I played when I didn't really know what I was doing.

Don't even feel like I've made that many howling mistakes, this game just has a way of biting you on the ass.

Bellamy says NAS is a medial ligament, likely to be a couple of weeks, tempted to hold him for looping, beasting!
