NRL Fantasy 2023 Part 15 - Cheese and Garlick Naan

BCT05 wrote:Was just thinking that Dylan Edwards comes to mind as potentially a good comparison for Walsh. Great fullback in a great team and averages low to mid 40's and even in blowout games he never goes that crazy high.

Pretty much what I expect from Walsh. Doesn't have the Teddy playstyle to go much above that.

Still a great buy at the price and I'll probably just go with him, but can't help but wonder if Miller can manage close to a 40 average for $100k less. Has more potential than Walsh for good cash gen too due to his lower price if he strings a couple good games together.

Edwards is a totally different fullback to Walsh, he's all about the involvement around the ruck, two hit ups every set, 200-300m, TBs but not many TAs.

The comparison for Walsh is Drinkwater. They have pretty identical skillsets - fast, creative, elusive, natural footballers, lightweight defence. And they'll both be up and down in fantasy depending on how their team is going. If you think this year's Broncos are going to go as well as last year's Cowboys then Walsh has value and could be a top 5 WFB.

The facial injury is a worry, next time he gets hit in the head when he ducks a tackle, he could be out a few weeks.

With Ponga a scratch and no cover it looks like I’ll be flicking him off to a new WFB. Obvious candidate is Walsh at the moment. Was really hoping to get onto the Preston wagon this week and if I do Cheese looks like the only downgrade target at the moment. Could do Doorey if I really wanted to keep Cheese around as backup.

Ponga > Walsh
Cheese/Doorey > Preston

It was pretty minor. He would have played round one if it was an important game

If its not windy, Boyd.

If I sell Cheese needs to be a MID otherwise I have no cover - I think BMM is the only clear option… Rest are all dirty midrangers?

Need to sell CNK or I’m playing TMM every week… thinking Walsh or Miller time. Probably Walsh because don’t rate Miller. Would do Sloan if there was a worthwhile MID up to 680-ish?

Ideas and advice appreciated

Cheese will be on everyones shopping list once it comes down a bit more in price. And also that BSmith guy.

I think you can wait on Bird while his minutes are managed he isnt going above 700k

Your HK options appear to be in my choice of order;

Mahoney (doing a lot more this season)
Wade Egan (playing big minutes)
Liddle(seemed to do very well)
Api - not 100% here the tigers look awful.
