NRL Fantasy 2023 Part 21 - Will Cleary update or downdate in point?!?

Bethany_B wrote:On the topic of Hosking, he did make 55 tackles tonight and no negative stats, which seems like something that isn't really sustainable week to week.

That said he does look like a good player, but I just can't help but feel like buying him next week is chasing last week's points and he'll come out and drop a big fat 30 next week when everyone expects a big one.

Can anyone talk me out of this?

Don't get Hosking Beth! He's a trap!

I'm being serious here.

All the stats point to him being a great buy and silly not to get on but something just doesn't sit right with me. We all captained Hopgood last week expecting a good score and it didn't happen, and in that case I did it against my better judgment because I suspected everyone else would do the same.

I have played pretty straight bat thus far when it comes to trades and captaincy picks.

To get him I need to lose one of my big 3 Mids, Murray, Tapine and Carrigan, and then play hopgood as the third mid,

already have hopgood and wilton as edges, with ford and preston as cover,

so in effect I need to be convinced he is an outlier gun who will average better than all of the above,

Last year I let many keepers go by the way side (tago, Tiny may, etc) and still did fine,

I wannna jump on his bandwagon but not sure I have the capacity

He is a hard working player and if he nails down the starting spot he'll be close to a must have. The question is: why didn't he get the starting spot in round 1 & 2?
Where does he sit in the pecking order with Martin & Garner?
I do remember Ivan Cleary having EDG player rotations at times in previous seasons, so no guarantee of him playing 80 each game...

Does that help?
