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

The obvious thing is last in, first out and a similar role he's had for 2.5 seasons.

Instead you've gone with an elaborate narrative where he suddenly is ahead of a bunch of players he hasn't been ahead of, playing a role he last had briefly in 2020, at a fantasy scoring average he last hit in 2018.

Time will tell I suppose.

I don't know about youse lot, but I reckon the mods on this NRL forum are as useless as tits on a bull! They don't seem to have a clue what's going on half the time. Thinking it's 2022 and not 2023? I'm pretty sure some of them still think it's 1999!

So, I'm puttin' me hand up to become a mod meself. I reckon I could do a fair dinkum job of keepin' this forum runnin' smooth as silk. Plus, I promise not to be a drongo like the current mods.

Anyway, let me know what ya reckon. If you think I'm the right bloke for the job, give us a holler and I'll make sure this forum is ridgy-didge once and for all!

Do you want to be trading Teddy in at round 7, with him not playing Origin byes from round 13?

I started 2020 with Easy E when he was named starting lock at the Knights. He scored a 15 and a 25, so I sold him and he averaged 50 for three games- the absolute bastard. He really needs a full 50 minutes to make his 40 fantasy points, but they seemed happy to play him as a 35 minute starting lock.  What I do like about Ese is that he is still only 28, I thought he must have been in his 30s by now. But when everything depends on his minutes, hes not going to get away from you in price- even if he brains it with a 50 he will still be under $400k. But if he doesn’t get the minutes or he loses his spot then you waste a trade. Easy wait and see for me, but I am all for you getting on early for a crowing party when Easy scores a meatie  

Null Null job security definitely a risk. If he was simply an edge then few would likely take the plunge, but forward scores in the centre position are something worth gambling on. I can see a world where Lemmy cements that role for himself over the next couple of weeks.

Week 6 - Trindall out for a cashie (maybe AKP). Bank the other trade.
Week 7 - Carty + Carrigan to Hynes + sub $450k player

Could also downgrade Grant to a cheaper HOK during this period if I find I really need cash

If I had fifita I’d want to keep him, scoring nicely and looking like he has workrate, bit of luck he could have monstered a score

I am not sure that is entirely accurate

Career average minutes over 30 = 39.9
Career average minutes over 40 = 45.4
Career average minutes over 50 = 51.9
Career average minutes over 60 = 61.3

He is priced at 29 - I guess it all depends on how many minutes you think he will get. I get the sense that he is due for at least 40 in two stints

Worse case scenario - At the Knights in 2020 he averaged 38 points at an average of 40 minutes best case is much much better

Its easy to fuck around with data though. Here I filtered by his prop starts-

Career average playing under 40 mins = 31.8 in 37.5 mins (4 games)
Career average playing under 50 mins = 37.7 in 41.1 mins (12 games)
Career average playing under 60 mins = 42.8 in 47.5 mins (22 games)

Nobody is doubting Herman has great PPM, but its all about his role going forward. At the moment we have little to no clue. You might get on the next hot cow a round before everyone else and save yourself $25k, but I still think it makes more sense to wait a round and see if he posts that 40 in 45 minutes before jumping on. The biggest upside to him right now is getting to say “I told you so” and basking in the immortal fame that this forum will no doubt shower you in for being the first to make the call on Herman Ese’ese.

I don’t disagree. He’s playing great but unfortunately not making money.
Cash gen is gonna be the key to my success this year and Fifita is my only pathway to Hoskings.

Time will tell whether it’s the right move or not.

BSmith with maybe a rib injury was a must sell and gonna be terrible all year.

Garner with a confirmed rib injury is back any week and a guaranteed starter

I agree with Gareth’s kid, its only a matter of time until Fifita posts an 80+ with a try and everyone is scrambling to get him in like they are with Hosking and Hynes this week.

You should be more worried about fielding 17 in the post Origin rounds with 3 teams on byes than fielding 13 in Origin rounds

Teddy is 100% in for me if Carty loses spot next week
