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

BCT05 wrote: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?

The Dolphin Conspiracies wrote: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

Yeah I'm curious about that. Lawrie had reduced minutes only 41. Was averaging 58 minutes before Titans game.

JDB also only got 39 minutes. He's a much better middle in their pack, so he should be getting more too realistically?

Love the diversity in the Hynes-Cleary teams I am seeing so far. This year would have to be one of the least cookie cutter I have seen for a long time

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

I dunno, just thought it would be cool to post it

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

The extra cash also helpful this week

I’m all caught up now so yes with you on Robson. Also Russell no DPP so going to avoid there. Going to go for Sele I think, so many injuries at the Bunnies and plays RD13 if he manages to stay fit.

Talau to return after the Tigers bye with 2 tries to earn them their first win

Might be better to convert a surplus EDG to Leo Thompson. He is looking the goods this year

I disagree on Robson vs Cook, I think Origin is sufficiently far away enough that Cook is the better buy now, then get Robson closer to round 13.

Cook has as much base as Robson but much higher upside, for not that much more money.

Braileys ACL(and downdate from 46->42) together with CNK last play slapsy tackle break crushed me. Well done mate.

Cheers mate.
I thought the Boyd TS update would get you the win but the other updates helped me over the line.

But this week is Robsons 73

Posted it earlier today Hynes/Cleary combo team:

Grant
Haas, Tapine, Ford
Hosking, EKatoa
Cleary, Hynes
Bird, Alamoti
Miller, HTF, CNK

SJ, Preston, Carty, HSS*
Knik, IKatoa, Couchman, Sloan


*loop

Cherry looking a bit glazed.. anyone got a strong opinion on keeping or punting?

Thinking of going.

Hopgood + afk

to

Cleary + Couchman

the catch is, it leaves my 14-21 terrible.

Carty(party), Preston, Luke, couchman

Knik, Hands, HSS, warbrick

Was just thinking the same thing. I think there’s quite a few fallen guns that have contributed to it as well, people are choosing differently depending on team make up.

I'm also considering

Kenny/Carrigan/Hopgood to Hynes/Robson/KNiko

It’s quite the dilemma. I’m 4k short of cook so I’d have to get a different cow to Sele, 304k or under.

Do you already have Cleary already too? I really like those moves

If you can hold for another week he’s got some lesser opponents coming up.

Have Cleary mate and SJ, so don't particularly NEED Hynes right now, but might be the move I need to start making some inroads after poor start to season

Edit. Can't afford Robson. Anyone uinder $761,000 If i trade Carrigan/Kenny/Hopgood

Looking at Taps and running Boyd/Cheese at hooker for next few weeks.

Carrigan - Tapine does look sideways however, so not worth the trade

Really thinking about doing Uto to Couchman. I am not convinced with Couchman but the 200k it gives me will be vital for me to continue to strengthen my weak 17-21 players in the coming weeks.

JMK instead of Robson? I can afford Robson (for Brailey) but am still considering him. Price/average hobbled a bit by his sin-bin game.
