NRL Fantasy 2023 Part 15 - Cheese and Garlick Naan

Yeah I have lots on my watchlist around that 600k - low 700k mark that I think can elevate to keepers. So I could maybe go Butcher/Boyd to 2 straight upgrades depending on how they perform

Looking at ARey, Mahoney, Welch, Koro, Bird, SJ, Walsh

Others like Brailey and Tatola will also be very attractive in coming weeks as their prices come down

Just watching Butcher if he passes the eye test, he's not a huge concern, but his cash can be used better elsewhere if he's just plodding. Trindall yeah has an expiry date, but should hold a low BE if he maybe gets a bench spot. And yeah Boyd is same reasoning with Butcher, plus his DPP is handy

Miller scores all.his points coming out of his own end. Barely touches the ball in attack close to the line.

Pencil him.in for a banner in that case

My head says to do something like Brailey>Mahoney/Grant + BSmith>Preston, but I might need to make higher risk plays with how bad my rank is now (spoiler: it's 52k). Any thoughts that I missed would be appreciated.

Brailey
Tofu Haas HopGod
EButch Katoa
Trindall Hastings
Alamoti HSS
Mitchell Miller Warbrick

Carty BSmith Doorey Cleary
Katoa Boyd Ford Talau

Wouldve been nice to target guys like DCE, Walsh and Bird.

Yep seems like we are thinking the same.
I am defo keen on Bird and going to watch Hammer and count his hit-ups as it is going down, but his tries are going up - not absolutely certain on him yet.

Weiland wrote:At a loss as to what to do this week. I don't really have any guys that need to go this week so I guess I am lucky, but have guys like TMM, BMM, Doorey and Talau who I can't really trade for anyone. Would like Preston or to somehow find a way to get Walsh but just don't have many options to get them.

That's what we always imagine with looping, but then reality has a way of delivering;
Shit, meh, oh that's not good and seriously, you're a wing score a try already...

My concern on Bird is his minutes and that his first stint was awful. Probably ends up close to a 45 ave but don't think he's urgent. There's tons of ctrs around 600k that can go boom at any time, but think the cheapies can do the job for now as ctrs can also have very low games (same reason I didn't get Hammer)

Expect mid year that most options will look similar and it's take your pick between Manu, Graham, Lomax, Crichton, Holmes, Farnworth etc.

I am waiting on Te Whare to fix my CTRs without needing to spend up.

Doorey > Preston is a single trade swap, no cash required. Get out of the slow lane and onto the fast lane, with a guy you can play in your 17.

still a very good team in there, just been bashed by variance on the HIAs and injuries

with only two trades theres not that much huge changes you can do,

centres are weak but its not like there are any value centres you are missing and alamoti and HSS are putting up ok scores,

either of the trades you suggest are excellent, it just depends on what flavour you like,

Im a fan of mahoney and walsh, but preston is guaranteed cashie if you need cash money,

good luck with your choices, you're due a change in fortune

This is a fair point, hadn't considered that.

Ford to Preston gives me 152k itb

thinking of going Martin up to the Hammer but I wonder if I've missed the boat?

Anyone holding Cheese?

R4 bye and the high BE means I'll likely sell. But dire hooker coverage tempts me a little to hold.
