NRL Fantasy 2023 Part 39 - Host is still playable, right?

Oloapu coming in for the last game of the round would be lovely

I’m thinking of going a pod play and getting Alex Johnston with our draw easing up soon I think he’s in for quite a few tries he’s dropped around 130k as well. It’s a risk but last two years he picked up his scoring around this time and through origin. He plays in a better team than Drinky too. I think our left edge will start firing soon gut feel. Can always put him in a loop as well. He plays round 13 too.

AAAAAJJJJJJJJ. Our draw goes Bronx, Storm, Tigers, Parra, Raiders, Titans, Dragons, Cows, Warriors, Dogs.

So doing Ekatoa, loiero and cnk to bird, bula and manu to finally fix my centres just makes my 16-17th man look so poor

Boyd
Matterson hass jdb
Preston hosking
Hynes cleary
Bird Lemmy
Teddy manu Walsh

Sj ford crossland katoa

Couchman dunster bula alamoti

Thoughts on

Katoa, Alamoti, Loiero to Robson, Bula, JDB

Loiero to JDB being reversed if my EMG goes well.

Don`t love the Robson pick however he is the only one I see in that range that`s a genuine Rd 13 gun.

Looked at Reynolds but already have SJ, Katoa and Nikorima

I get the 10% a month thing by having car insurance through woollies, bargain !

To bring Manu in for Thompson, rather than for Alamoti I need to take a punt on a near basement price player. Don't know whether to go Oloapu or Weekes. Weekes should give me a rd 13 number and maybe Turbo doesn't play this weekend. Oloapu could be the dogs 6 for the rest of the season if he gets a shot

I'm surprised you didn't mention him earlier, he's a pretty good shout given his price.

Why not josh Reynolds since his named at 6 and 220k

Dont mind it but would Drinky for not much more be a better option?

Taking the piss !

Yeah it’s a tough one. I don’t mind taking a punt on either since it’s a Warbrick downgrade. Would much rather a punt on Oloapu but Weekes could be useful

Wasn’t all the talk preseason and the first few rounds that Tapine was a must have after his bye?
With the fanatics discount you even get 10% off his starting price buying him this week

I like Bula better than both of those guys (good job security as a result of Staines's injury and he was very involved despite being in a weak team), can you get him, or does this need to be someone at 230k?

I did consider bringing him in this week but Teddy is too good to pass up at his price and I can't get them both.

Tapine and Matto are top of my list as candidates to sell Murray to in round 13 though.

Fair enough.
I just look at him and think he has barely fired any shots and kills it over origin.
No origin and good byes with huge upside coming off a bye.
Would rather buy him before a big score than after

Carrigan (C) this week if Cleary is out

Might need to bring in the chad

HSS to MCK

Already getting Bula for Warbrick. Dont have enough $$ to go Thompson to Manu so need to make a third trade and my only real option is to trade Luke to a near basement price player

Ahh fair enough, you could punt on Oloapu getting a go eventually then (I suspect Reynolds is a smokescreen for him but the fact that he's the last game is so annoying).
