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

BBowler wrote:I’m one of a few with the Tohu dilemma..

I’m considering the following:

A) Downgrade to Hosking for cash
B) upgrade to Haas for points
C) hold him and trust he will play & score well

My team currently for context:

Grant
Hopgood, Tohu, Carrigan
Preston, E.Katoa
Cleary, SJ
Alamoti, HTF
Sloan, Miller, Mitchell

Ford, Carty, Keppie, Boyd
Warbrick, Ikatoa, ITT, TMM

I’m thinking if I get Hosking I’ll be light on mids with a risk of only one week of scoring from him, but can handle it with Ford moving up and Keppie covering.

I don’t mind spending on Haas but restricts options moving forward.

Also was hoping to go zero trades this week as I’ve max traded so far.

Basically just hoping to get a feeling of what others would do in the same situation?

Thanks in advance team

Have already saved 2 trades so far and saving another one this week by not going through with that feels weird. Getting an itchy trigger finger.

Do you have anyone else to trade out?

Loiero almost a certain trade out during R9 Storm bye imo so a few weeks left to milk

Holding trades this week, only other option was Uto and Doorey to Hands and Hosking.

Haas potential captainers and Carrigan traders Riki is in a bit of doubt, didn't finish a training session.

Flegler was spotted training there and stated he practices there a bit.

Might be a couple more minutes up for grabs in the broncos middle this week.

Nothing confirmed yet though purely speculation at this point.

Not sure if this helps anyone.

I'm bringing in Hosking but selling Boyd instead of Loiero since Boyd seems more like a 35-40 guy while Loiero seems good for 40-45

Is anyone trading in a half that isn't Cleary/Hynes

Given I currently only have SJ, Boyd, Trindall I need to bring one in or play short (or I guess risk Trindall's 5 points)

Other than stumping cash for CLeary, options are go cheap like IKatoa (or Hands who I don't really trust long term) for a week and hope for the best with cash to use later

I think my best Cleary alternative is Burton, who has a bit of a tough run coming up, but does have potential at least

Middies like Milf/Wakeham just don't seem to have enough upside

Anyone else worth looking at?

Did they pull an Anakin on you? Not being allowed on the council... that can lead to all kinds of darkness

Brown or Moses for more R13 options

Word out of Manly is Schuster has done his quad. Not sure how long that is but Cooper Johns could be an alright stop gap for now?
