NRL Fantasy 2023 Part 19 - Doueihi or Don't he

Great trade assuming Egan. Zero reason to hold on to him

Has scored great in the middle at HOK the last couple of weeks, could be a stop gap at HLF and should pick up a DPP of some description soon.

Knights just seem to keep losing players and he is likely to keep getting decent roles the next few weeks.

Why would they start Crossland at lock over Leo?

I do realise that….I just used you as a segway to mention that try again (it’s one of the funniest RL things I’ve seen for years)

Leaves cash to grab Teddy next week

Need to turn some of these mids and edges into halves and hookers at some point

CHN is probs a trade out, yea. He's been tentative/lazy 3 weeks in a row. Not much aggression and hiding out there. I'll probably hold him for another week or two, not expecting the tide to turn tbh.

The penny pinch idea might be the shot, they have a bit more meat on the bone. Katoa's a bit more helpful around MBR's if the plan is to hold, too.  



Yea, I'd say you're right. But if I want to play it safe Katoa is the better this round given the %ownership. Garner's round 1 was awful though. A bit to think about, cheers for the replies.

No worries mate, hope it works out whatever you decide

I've got too many coin goats for my guns to handle, so hopefully a couple of filthy midrangers can get some cash gen going and hit some 40s as my 16th and 17th men. Looking bleak with Teddy, Trindall, IKatoa and BMM in my EME and Warbrick in the 17 again for Ted.

I actually think this could happen and it will be fugly but profitable

Someone was banging on about Crossland on the weekend . Not pretty but could be effective (50 tackles for zero misses…..and zero attacking stats)

Because they will need him in the prop rotation without any Saifitis, Elliott and Mann is out.

Last season they had Klemmer as well. Way down on MIDs.

The week before Tyson Gamble was their lock!

oh the ironing. Just like cheese he’s being looked at from two sides of the same coin

Genuinely intrigued by this post mate.  Why would he continue starting and besides an injury to Moylan, why would he partner him?

Thats what I meant - Moylan probably does a hammy and hynes probably cops a week suspension the week moylan comes back, etc, and trindall just keeps bradbury'ing a starting spot.

Wont be by choice if all three are fit.

But i meant if moylan was injured and its 7 hynes 6 trindall, you probably wouldnt want to play trindall. Hed lose a lot of base to hynes

I’d say it’s unlikely but still a chance. Knights were an early adopter to the big mins, mobile lock - Watson then Mann, have clearly experimented with Crossland playing in various forward roles over the last year. They have no forwards left - their bench last week had three debutants I think.

Yeah, cool. Thought as much mate. We've seen those situational things play out with replacements before that just keep chugging away. Definitely worth holding Trindall the week.

If all they need is a guy that can be a tackle bot and link man, Crossland has shown the last couple of weeks that he can tackle his heart out effectively - 50 tackles, 0 misses last week at HOK.

Wouldnt surprise me if crossland started 13. Makes sense.

Wouldnt surprise me if its Hetherington Leo and Croker starting middle. Raiders this week so they might opt for three big bodies to start against tapine and big papa (he said hes good to go this week)

Every time I have traded in Wakeham, it has ended badly.

I did that once. It cost me something like a trade, 200k, and about 100 points.

I can't see Cleary go massive against the Eels, not at Commbank (I have a slight bias toward the Eels)
Neither can I see Turbo going massive against the Rabbitohs at Accor.

Crossland's stats at the weekend just made me want to get in Brailey as soon as possible.

I’m thinking C Grant if Munny is back or C Haas!

And never write off Cleary!

Any Wookie predictions about SJ at home at Mt Smart?

Trade thought RL

Tigers send AD to Sharks for Trindall

Tigers get NRL calibre half for first time in a while

Sharks get backup half (what Doueihi thinks he is) but with additonal positional cover (CTR) what he actually is)

Win-win
