NRL Fantasy 2023 Part 35 - Man U need to consider Joseph now

BCT05 wrote:Didn't want to make 3 trades this week but this looks pretty appealing

Carty to JDB
Warbrick to Host
Alamoti to Manu

Concern though is that ideally I would like to see what happens with Lemuelu when both KBrom and Kaufusi are in the team, which we wont see until next week. Would regret dumping Alamoti instead if Null loses his spot the next week. So maybe Manu will need to wait.

Could you just do Carty and Warbrick to Host and Manu? Unless you really need a MID I wouldn't bother with JDB, and I'm not convinced Alamoti is a sell just yet, his last two scores have been affected from being moved to the wing to cover an injury.

Running no mid cover at the moment so would like a mid.

I tend to agree re Alamoti but he's still a centre in a poor team, with no JAC, he's probably not going to make that much more cash and pocketing the $200k now is fine I think.

Thank God the Tigers are going so well and my Fantasy team is killing it this year...

Ouch! I can see why you said how the last few months tried to kill you, hopefully the rest of 2023 will balance out the hardships. who knows? the Tigers may nab a win... now they finally have 2 points in the bag

JDB played lock 12 times last year, and in all of them scored less than he did last week.

How confident are people that he'll maintain good scores. Is it just a case of every time a player does well, that's the new normal?

Go with your guts I say... (and have a look at the Dragons bench)

been tinkering with trades for a while

Carty Carrigan Couchman/Warbrick for Hynes Manu Dunster I can fit in.

Alternative was just Carty up to Fifi or Carty Alamoti Warbrick to Fifi Manu Dunster

About as certain as i am of Couchman continuing to get 50+ mins

You're saying Couchman will be starting at lock on gameday and get 50+ minutes?
Sweet

I'm surprised at the level of interest.

Its the minutes, not the score. If he continues to get 70-80 minutes, he averages 64 at lock in a decent sized sample.

I don't like picking players based on a bench makeup that might not even last until game day, let alone for the weeks/months I want them in my team

JDB's past pedigree makes him worth a look, but he just produced his highest score in years, so I think some expectation management needs to be in place. If he can sustain 50+, then its not too bad.
But for $250k less is Host better value, given Koloamatangi is out for a while. That money could be well spent elsewhere

Might give JDB another week, not going to jump massively out of reach.

Jesus mate, that's a horrid run.  Certainly don't deserve all that shit.  Good to see ya though.

Broke up with the GF on the weekend as well, just to stick the boot in (excuse the leg fracture puns in that sentence...)  She asked to move in, and for whatever misguided logic She somehow thought I would be happy going out to garden shows and having coffee with friends while the NRL was on...

Very interested in him, but was the Sua injury why he played 80?  

Su'a still played 74 minutes and Bird and JDB played 80

Cheers Shady, just had a look at minutes, thought Sua went off halfway through the second Half for some reason. That's a positive for JDB?

Well if you haven't figured it out yet, 2023 is NRL Fantasy RETRO season:

Carty Party, SJ, McInnes, JDB, Granville.... it's all happening!!!

Retro season!:

I don’t think I can get on board with JDB

I'll have some of that 2017 De Belin if that's on the menu. I'm not sold though.

It gives him more stocks, but need to note Dragons had 1 less interchange… that could be an influence

Francis Molo to return too in a few weeks

I don’t mind Host if he can plod 40s with Kolo out, will make easy $$

Even in games 60-80 minutes, which seems a realistic expectation, he averages 60, or 60-70 minutes at 56 points.

Was biting my nails waiting for the Ladder to update at the end of the Round.
