NRL Fantasy 2023 Part 25 - Take it to the betting thread you degenerates

I think you're probably better off not doing the trade if they are your best options.

Both are likely to make another $60k+
We know Hosking plays this week (hopefully makes $50-60k), but then it's a gamble beyond that.

So for you to net positive on the trade, it's all entirely risk (as you'd make that money from either of the two trade targets anyway), unless you feel so strongly that Hosking maintains a 50+ average AND a role in the team going forward

I'd look for a better option, or sit on my hands

The ole double handed 'stranger'. It's the quiet ones.

Figured out I can can bring in Frizell for Doorey as my second trade (already bringing in Hoskings).

BE of around 31, plays major bye rounds, locked in for 80 mins, loves a TB and an Offload.
Could easily ride him into the high $700's if he averages 60.
Only real negative I can see is Knights upcoming schedule of Sea Eagles, Warriors, Panthers and Cowboys could all be low scoring defensive affairs.

It's a luxury trade but would mean I can flip Carty in a week or two to cover my lack at depth in HOK, CTR and WFB, moving Hopgood into the Mids full time and allow me to go Carrigan to Hynes.

Anyone else taking a serious look at Frizell while he's cheap?

Great player, scores highly in fantasy, is he a chance of playing origin this year?

Good point, hadn't considered that.

Alright guys! Is it worth going Boyd to Hands just so I can go Doueihi to Hynes?

He also loves a niggling injury

Jele wrote:@Porn Johnson , just thinking about your idea of holding Hodgson for this round and picking up Ford and Hosking. I reckon it can work, as long as you have enough cash to get rid of Hodgson next week if you need to.

Thanks mate, it's a risk as I'm relying on Hodgson not being utter shite but I think I'm gonna go for it.

Then probably reverse it 2 mins before Penrith starts on Friday.

Realised I could also go Trindall to Ford and Doueihi to Moses.

Now the contract saga is over maybe he can put some good footy scores together?

Will just have to try get Hynes in another time

I was considering Moses but the end of the contract saga had me worried he might actually drop off (remember, his average is 4pts higher than Cleary's)

No Trades for me this week.

Miss out on Hosking though

Insert Regulator's Avatar here.

Hands has beaten Rein on merit.

Probably good signs regarding top 30 and what not.

is bostock worth the risk? if i can go Doorey to Hosking/ Thompson to Bostock.

Would save me from having to trade out anyone decent,
but also means i would have to play Katoa in my 17 with Boyd being out.
Cheers,

When I wrote that I thought someone might not be able to resist... the question was who?

Good to know that I've picked something correctly this week

@easytiger I know, could be considered low hanging fruit type jibber jabber. Tickets are cheap though, you get what u pay for.

I’m so confused isn’t milf named at 7?

Sorry my bad it was Wayne in the presser saying milf has done enough to keep his spot and they will play him there again and katoa is actually a half they made into a 5/8 and he will fill In there after being quizzed about sos

No, but when Felise returns Kenny Bromwich could well go to playing chiefly in the middle

I think you will find it is flavour of the month NULL NULL who will see less minutes. Kenny Bromwich has primarily always been an EDG and NULL NULL's days of filling in at CTR on countless fantasy teams are numbered. ESE' ESE is a gun

Listening to podcast where one host is Eels fan he thinks Greig plays low minutes at Prop and might see Hodgson and Hands on field at same time. I think I'll take punt just to cover HOK for 1 week and hope for upgrade to 30 and Hodgson goes down or such
