NRL Fantasy 2023 Part 28 - Eels in crisis, no minutes for gun cheapies

Wayde Egan might need to be moved on soon, to sell at the peak (but who knows maybe he starts scoring two tries every week) and because I have 4 warriors which is going to be 2 too many come round 12. Him to Brailey is an easy 90K.

Any chance Teddy is out more than just this week? He's TBC on the NRL casualty ward. If so could be veeery tempted by a certain JoeyM, 70BE be damned. Maybe he's still just a round 14 pickup though.

There is only 1 origin round that Manu plays fullback. Overpriced as a CTR

HSS -> Kodi
Carty -> Hosking

Probably can hold Carty for a week or two more, but BE 30 now and a bit of uncertainty with Lane back now I think it might be worth moving him on a touch early to get on Hosking.

Is it too late to bring in Hosking? I was hoping for some clarity this week that he'd won the spot and not going to get dropped when the other two come back

The thinking is that the Chooks are doing a lot better this year and Teddy won't need to back up every round like last year so more like 3-4 rounds but yeah probably a bit of a moon shot.

Sitili Tupouniua Named for the bears this week. Might be back in the squad soon

I recommend not trading any Eels this week..they have their first 'easy' games. Wait and see how it pans out, there are triple trades available from next week.

That's a mattnz trade if I've ever seen one

Whoever shouted out list view the other day is a legend... now I can see that my first three players all have a L3 average of 69

nice³

So I need to trade out Hodgson this week and the only way to do that is an EDG.

Carty/Loiero/Katoa/Hopgood.

I'm thinking Loiero and it's a wait and see for the Eels.

I need to bring in a CTR this week, have a higher confidence that Cobbo has a chance to put up a 60 average over a stretch of a few games for Broncos, than Lemuelu doing it at the same price point. He went on a run like that last season with 13 tries in 8 games and this is a better Broncos side than last year.

Not unrealistic to see a quality winger put up those kinds of numbers in the form side of the comp.

Have updated my tracker with some musings if anyone wants to jump in and have a look.

Confused as what to do trade wise this week

Does add to the fun

Thoughts on Hame Sele as a trade in for HSS? Need some middle cover, only an extra 20k - obviously comes with injury risk as he can't string too many games together but I'd be assuming he's in the Souffs best 17 every week and gets decent mins off the bench?

or should I splash out an extra 50k for Lindsay Smith? Not sure how long Fish is out for anyone know if he's out for a decent amount of time and therefore makes Smith a good pick up?

What a shit show of trade options this week.

I have to move on two guys to get Cleary + someone cheap (probably Niko, maybe Sele.. doesn't need to be in my 17).

E Butcher is almost certainly one of them. Then there is Welch/Loiero/Carty, as well as Hopgood.

I think there's a reasonable chance that Hopgood comes on after 15-20 minutes and plays out the game, could still score really well.

Welch mins have been a sour point. Loiero is very up and down with scoring. Carty.. it seems sensible to hold.. ?

Whichever one goes will score the most points this week.

How is Cobbo in 9% of teams already? Thought I was getting a POD!

So weird, he is in 0.5% of top 5,000.

He’s dropped 119k with a 34 point average over 5 rounds…. Sounds spot on.

I think Welch out of those for me mate

Carty a hold likely to still play 80, and Loiero prob eek some more cash to trade by R9

Welch will probably crash over for a try

The no look, behind the back flick pass, whilst doing a Cart(y)wheel?

Only 12 tackles for Hopgood this week
