NRL Fantasy 2023 Part 34 - Super Saturday

See Liam Martin is re injured

Play carty or take Warbricks 38? I normally lly take anything 35+ for a loop but Carty averaging a lot more. Slight questions about his minutes though

Savage scored the first try and is looking sharp

Good for us Hosking owners I guess. Cements his place a bit more. Garner coming back was always a worry. Cleary seems to rate him and to be fair real life is different to fantasy

Do you think you’ll hold your ranking with those 3? I’ve got the same left.

Looking at yafss, I think we go a bit backwards this arvo, hopefully not too far. A lot will depend on Bird's score.

Might grab the couchman with that dragons team info.

Do I stick with 3rd trade Doorey to Couchman or reverse and take AKP 36. Couchman buy now or forget I think but plays 13 and 14 and BMM dropped

Haas just played 68 min and reckons he is happy with his reduced min

Picked him up in draft this week. Had to use my RFA position to do it, but yeah hoping he can continue to big minutes.

Tough, you could still trade in Couchman and take the 40? No idea how many points Couchman will get, but would it be that much more than 40? Pretty good HIA insurance too.

I had brought in Bird and benched Alamoti. If his role is changed I might play Alamoti and pivot to Couchman and watch Bird for another week. A sensible play that will no doubt turn out turn around and bite me in the ass.

Are you looping a Tiger? If so, wait for final lists and assuming Carty still starting I'd play him, avg 50 and ceiling of much higher than that.

My mate his Dad know someone they got VIP access to the new training facility at Heffron Park walked around gym and that met JD, S. Burgess, McCarthy, Sean Garlick... met the players on a tour

Asked about Keaon they said worse than first thought 8 weeks. Must need surgery. Tbh it’s ruined my day.

Can never seem to be a full strength when we take on Penrith.

Remember this next year for when someone decides to start a rumour that he won't play during Ramadan.

No - HSS is my only npr that hasn't played yet.

Was thinking less about the points and more about the cash generation - I'm already a few hundred thousand below a lot of others in terms of team value, and I don't have anyone making much cash quickly

Ugh I fucking hate coaches playing silly buggers for no fucking reason, if you aren’t gunna play someone, don’t fucking name him, it’s not like the Raiders had any special gameplan for whoever’s on that edge outside of ‘if that cunt has the ball, tackle said cunt’

Well with that BMM news makes the Sloan vs Couchman debate much easier. Couchy it is

I don't think you'll lose much points wise if any. Will he make the cash? with that news and his price, probably. I'm 8k short of HSS to Couch in my NPR's which I'd probably do if I had 8k.

In the same position.

Bird averages 44 at 2rf. He’s priced slightly above that now.
On one hand the likely 80 minutes is appealing but can he continue to average 50 there?

I mean if you don’t have him, you could probably hold off until he got cheaper, but if you do, he’s still a CTR playing in the forwards ie. a keeper
