NRL Fantasy 2023 Part 40 - Matt Broke My TV

It's funny how often people suggest Cleary might get an early shower. Take out the game he got sent off and he averaged 79.7 minutes and has been rested 9 times from nearly 150 games while his team has been historically dominant. If there was a market for over 78.5 minutes I'd be taking the over

This got me thinking.  If you could have one of Hynes or Cleary in your NRL team, who would you pick?   Hynes has closed the gap enormously.

What would that have to do with it?

In real life it's still Cleary without any hesitation for me. Plenty of big game experience now, finals and origin. Seen him execute in plenty of big moments. Look at that drop goal to force OT a little while back, just pulled off that mega clutch play with ice in his veins like nothing. Seen him make much bigger plays on D as well.

Personally I'd take Munster and DCE over Hynes for now as well (ignoring age) because again so much experience in big moments.

I feel like, even though I don't like Melbourne or Queensland, that Munster doesn't get anywhere near the credit he deserves. Like everyone accepts he's good, but he's so fucking good, can break games apart with ease, his energy brings others up around him, and he's just got that when everything is on the line give me the fucking ball and I'll give you some magic to him.

Manu has to be the best non kicking 6 in the comp right? You would have him in your team at 6 over anyone except Munster (Who kicks). Surprised that it has taken them this long to realise the obvious.

Hot take Manu is a terrible 6. Struggles to set up his outside man and stalls attacks with bad decision making. But he is an elite level ball runner and super hard to tackle which covers for some of his deficiencies. I'd take Dylan Brown, Dearden and Luai over him. If Moylan was 5 years younger I'd take him as well

He was literally next on the list (position 20) and they only dropped JJ Collins with Nicholls

i like this take, i think give manu the position and coach him he can become elite level

right now hes not a great six, but he can defintely be come one of the greats

Need a mid, want Manu.

Qn:  Anyone think Manu not worth chasing?  Currently my back 5 lines up as:

Bird, Alamoti
Teddy, Trbo, Miller /Sloan, Warbrick

Alomoti to Manu quite the upgrade.

He's number 22 according to the NRL app....

I too need a MID and am looking for a combination of points scorer but also money maker to a degree. ( probably like everyone else)

Everyone seems hot on CHEESE, $518k, duel cover , low BE, and seems to be on the improve, doesn't play rd 13 but would SIPLEY be better???

SIPLEY, $485k, low BE, potential gains with Jurbo @ orgin, plays round 13.

What does everyone think.

Also I think we will have some cash cows soon with Oloapu & Metcalf to be able to obtain likes of Hynes/Grant, etc

Coach media has assistant Fein pumping up Niko Katoa combo,  doesnt sound like things are changing this week unless he is a massive liar

Every chance Sipley goes back to his average of 27 minutes for 25 points from last season. I am picking him to get the Host and Couch trap of the week award.
