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

Matterson played over 61 minutes at lock 0 times last season.

Hopgood was played for 70+ minutes to avoid playing any minutes from Makatoa one week and Greig another week.

Doesn't take a rocket scientist to see where minutes will be taken from.

you can only laugh

I'm trading him, some guys over there are trading him, no need to justify it to anyone.

Yeah my bad.

Am I mad for looking at Crossland?

If he gets 60mins he should avg high 30’s his BE is 17

Maybe

JMK + Haas or Robson + McInnes + some cash left in bank

From what we have seen of Crossland at HOK he should average more than high 30s if getting 60 minutes. Tackle bot who doesn't miss many. When Ponga is back, would expect he takes a fair amount of the kicking.

Nope, he is cheap and a long term injury he might be a good option. He played hooker there once and scored 55. He is playing Penrith so he might have a ton of MT and we don’t know the minutes split with Mann. Wait a week or take the risk?

Same here, plus I'd rather just get Soni Luke who passes the eye test, while Crossland doesn't really yet (need to get a look at him this week).

Trusting the eye test hasn't led me astray yet this year, my only suboptimal trades this year have been when I've gotten guys who don't pass the eye test (Reynolds, Keppie etc.)

What is the priority trade outs..

Trindall, Brailey, Hopgood, Sutton, Loiero, Ilias

Brailey and Trindall for sure. Not sure who it is worth keeping an extra week.

Loiero isn’t urgent. Can plod 40s then trade out R9 on their bye, won’t lose money

I like the first one, both are good

Hopgood is the highest priority sell of your remaining 4 guys if you can get a genuine gun in for him, otherwise probably Sutton and Ilias are the priority sells.

Loiero can wait until his bye in R9, he's ticking along nicely and the return of Munster really helped him

Love the first one. JMK is great over the Origin period and Haas is the best player of those 4.
McInnes easily may lose minutes in 2-3 weeks when Finucane returns.

Can you frontload your trades and sell everyone but Loiero this week

I would hold Hopgood this week and sell the first 2 + Sutton

Any week you can get Haas in to your team is a good trade, so JMK + Hass is my vote too.

Got to trust the good old eye test

Eye test:

Normally I would say JMK isn't worth it but if he is the difference between Haas and no Haas it's worth it.

Thanks folks, confirmed my leanings, probably just lock that in.

Alamoti is on my EMG is a trade from him to CNK worth it if it means I can stop playing Warbrick?

Both Alamoti and Warbrick can be held this week, Warbrick is up against a very weak Manly defensive side (Johns, Tuilagi, Parker, Vaega) and Alamoti's score last week was affected by being moved to the wing, he should be fine back at centre.

CNK probably not worth the buy now unless you think he's a keeper
