NRL Fantasy 2023 Part 31 - So many trade out options, but no trade in ones

What are the expectations for Couchman? You'd want him to average 35 to be a worthwhile cow, are the minutes going to be there consistently for that? They've increased weekly but hard to expect 50min to be the norm?

Kinda bonkers paying 1m for a guy you’re not going to captain

Going to consider him over McInnes this week and either join the run or bring everyone else down with me!

Were we warned Welshy welched Walsh?

Yet again out of trades wrote:Hammer
Bird
Penis

Not sure what option to go

I might need to call the RSPCA

Kenny - Robson/Cook
Trindall - Hunt/Stone
Hopgood - McInnes

Similar to me mate, which way you leaning on Robson / Cook? In past years I’d avoid Cook because of Origin and it always seems to bite me.

Also thinking Russell in if he gets dual as Talau isn’t providing me with much cover.

Adding to the flood of Cleary + Hynes teams, currently looking at

Spoiler:

Was hoping to play Russell over Alamoti this week. Cashout BMM next week to a CTR/WFB like Talau and Alamoti to BSmith to replace the Couch as 17th man. Dunno now

Regarding Origin chat I think Burton could be NSW #6 for game 1. He did well last year, ex-Panther so has a good understanding with Cleary and is a left sided half.

Also the fact he was on Kangaroos tour over Hynes.

Catching up on pages so sorry if already covered.

Can't go past Cleary after 100 last week.

Hynes went close a few weeks before - rare for it to happen two weeks in a row

Never forget rule 1 of fantasy: Buy Nathan Cleary, Captain Nathan Cleary

Savage named to return on the wing for the raiders NSWcup.

HSS not named at all

Robson with the 2 extra games over origin mate, swinging myself that way.

The extra cash also helpful this week

I know I know , Vlandys ball

Would really appreciate if anyone had the time to check out my team tracker and give their thoughts. Cheers

Well by that logic, I will captain Turbo this week, got 16 last week so will get 150 this week.

How convinced are we that Couchman keeps getting 50 minutes or so off the bench. Bird usually plays bigger minutes? Perhaps it was just a one off? I do need an extra MID

Isn't that a reason the select Hynes over Cleary?
