NRL Fantasy 2023 Part 18 - Catchy Thread Title

I'm 13c/632 with Trindall, Preston, HSS and Alamoti remaining. Hopefully crack ~760.

Greed kills. Played Warbrick and traded Talau to BMM and played him over Doorey's 30 and Katoa's 25. Should've just banked both trades or done any of my other plans involving ARey or Sloan

A decent week for me. Trade-ins Turbo and SJ played hard, done good.

The jury is out on the trades though, if Cleary banners in the next week or two it doesn't look so flash. Hopefully a couple of quieter games from him to make it worthwhile.

Great trades mate. Those two are what I’m looking at to bring in next week at this stage

Wade Graham got 4 weeks for something similar but with WAY less intent. That should be 6+ weeks in any sport!

Rua Ngatikaura (survived the chop to 19 on nrl list) is playing Cup right now which means the Tigers should line up as named today.

Booo would have a loved a bit of spice ️

Hodgson and EButcher on the block for me. Hodgson seems be be playing with concrete in his boots? Never hopped on Cartwright so super behind the pack in terms of cash gen as it is. Hopefully a lovely cheapy on the Horizon. Honestly half tempted to trade TMM back in!

Oh wow

Gets 6 minimum… was Barnett a couple of years ago worse than that? Feel like it maybe was. I’d actually have no problem with the old school 12-16 weeks for that (and Barnetts a few years ago tbh).

For me I'm looking at E Butcher to Turbo as one trade and then Trindall to Soni Luke if Hynes is back (if he isn't back then just hold the trade)

You’re not giving Hodgson another chance after a 51?

Ravalawa would be impressed with that one.

Black bugs !

Preston Sutton and Alamoti to come today. Sitting at 701 at the moment. Let's see what happens

If there's a decent avenue to go Ebutch + Hodgson to a gun then he's out the door. Simply doesn't have a good workrate for a hooker. Middie central.

513/11(C)

Tapine, Doueihi, HSS, Alamoti, Preston and I Katoa in the loop to come.

Having another poor week if my live rank is to be believed, blowing out from ~40k to ~60k.

Gotta laugh

RANDALL on the menu?!

Never mind checked his price he’s not on any menu I can afford

He got what, 12+ from breaking the line, running the slowest 40m of all time and scoring. He was set for mid to high 30s otherwise.

i meant to post this yesterday - but i noticed the little Kayo intro thing that mentions sponsors in the pre game, the maccas one says "footy is back on the menu". Now, is that new? Are they getting their quips from this forum?

I've just been looking at Cleary to see if I should make a late trade to Koro/Mahoney/Wilton/Tapine. It will replace a Loeiro 29 in my score, give me some cash to make some rebalancing trades next week. I'm starting to think I have been looking too much at Cleary through 2021 goggles. He didn't banner up at all in 2022. Only went 80+ twice.

As an aside, for the "match ups don't matter" debate: in 2022 he averaged 59 playing top 8 teams and 77 against bottom 8 teams.
