NRL Fantasy 2023 Part 27 - Cheap fullbacks are gun fullbacks

Telegraph is reporting Doueihi and Brooks are the halves this week.

The telegraph? Probably read my post and posted it as fact

A number of games in the position isn’t the prerequisite anymore, it’s up to Fanhubs discretion.

If I’m wrong, I do apologise

I think based on previous utilisation of discretion it’s very unlikely they give WFB to a guy named there in R4/5 only to return to HLF at R6

They tend to not add many DPPs,  and the ones they do tend to be currently in the new position and fantasy classic  relevant.

I’d expect they overlook stronger cases than Doui.

It’s what I’m weighing up is do I go the Hynes route on top of me having Cleary and SJ already or do I focus on bringing in guys like J. Brailey, Matto, Teddy and maybe Cheese upcoming etc…… and play it that way.

I’m in the same boat as you and feels like a real luxury to have those 3 halves, I feel I may have landed on a poor man’s Hynes with SJ, and can refocus my trades / cash to upgrading other positions in my team.

Best value forward gun at the moment? 

Frizell looking good but probably plays Origin?

They realy, really, really, really, really, really need too.

How about them Warriors lad?

Very good, but only round 5, we haven't won anything yet, let alone made it into the finals

Lads i have a quick question. Am i doing this loop correctly? If warbrick goes good keep him where he is and his points will count for Martins and if he goes rubbish i can swap Thompson for martin. Is that right?

Matterson has the benefit of being pretty bye friendly as well?

Looks good to me

I don't think anyone expecting too much yet. Just the bollocks to come back like they did against a top side like the sharkies was absolutely massive

TMM probably back this week

I'm very much looking at Blore mate. But Tigers absolute mess

The Tigers are definitely a mess and with Blore we might be in the ballpark of a Hail Mary.

I guess it'll depend on the situation we are looking to trade him in for.

Eels play the 3 major byes but I think Warriors and Cowboys (non origin) have the best byes as the minor byes post Origin look more tough 

Warriors play 1 more game from R13-20 than everyone else

Also depends if Origin player vs non Origin player (e.g. Panthers, Storm and Roosters have good byes for Origin players and only miss 1 extra game for Origin as byes fall on Origin round whereas Manly, Cowboys, Rabbitohs, Eels Origin players miss loads more games)

Fantasy Amateurs had a solid article in preseason and are writing another now https://amateursfantasysports.com/nrl/bye-planning/

At his price though, he won't need a huge role to make some good cash.

He was one of the only tigers to come out the game with any credit on the weekend

You might wanna keep Preston in the INT in case he plays too..

Frizell is a reasonably priced EDG/MID. He might not be the guy to average low 50's though (not a gun). I don't see any fallen MID/EDG guns.

I know it's only R6 but should I be looking at moving in guys who play R13 to save some trades later?

Like Katoa is a better option long term than mini Tino? 18-21 guys only.

Tatola when he comes back, though not sure when that is.
