NRL Fantasy 2023 Part 43 - Luki Skywalker

Think it’ll be 4 for me now being Haas Cleary Fifi Teddy. Maybe Horse on the fringe but I doubt it

With how byes work you’re able to hold as you can only play 13, so it’s not too bad I think

Yeah definitely mate. Just a personal preference on my part at this point in the season really aiming up for the bye period.

Have saved plenty of trades while staying in the top 100 to really attack that period. Hopefully it pays off.

Most likely will backfire in some respect but that's Fantasy

Who to trade in for Muz:

TU Horse + 206k
TD Matto + 42k

Any chance Mofo gets back in the QLD team in current form? If not, really tempted to bring him in, getting huge minutes and good scoring to match, the last few weeks. With guys like Tino and Fifita away over Origin, don't see his role changing much.

Well, I may have just over thought things.   Luki Vs Tatola Vs Horsburgh ....

Numbers ....and more numbers:

Luki plays 13?

Any leads on where NRL players hang out round here?

I reckon just chuck a dragons/manly/bulldogs jersey on and just go down to the ground
No one would bat an eyelid with all their missing forwards
Probably get a game too

Highly Doubt it you'd think, May make the extended squad however.

Making me kind of want Matto now hahaha I haven’t saved many trades

I guess he’s safe for a 50-60 but Fifi’s ceiling is appealing

I would think he's next to no chance for game 1 at least mate.

Not that concerned about byes, would you rather:

TU: Muz + Preston to Nicho + Luki
TD: Preston + ITT to Horse + Luki

Torn between taking an opportunity to grab Nicho (albeit for Murray) and missing Horse's upside

Good intel...sounds like they might have had to mount a 'boy in the well style' rescue mission

Down in A Hole:

Super jealous of all these big trades being thrown about. I'm looking at the other end of the heap.

Is it worth trading dead weight shitto to potentially money making/could also end up as dead weight shitto? Thinking about offloading Hymel Hunt. If so, who's the next best sub-$363k guy not named Bula or Oloapu?

Could also offload Crossland to Luki/Tatola et al but think I'd rather wait a week and see how they go.

Thinking of going

Murray Tapine BMM > NAS Horse Bula

Which leaves me with

Grant
Ford Horse NAS
Hosking Fifita
Cleary Moses
Bird Lemuelu
Latrell Manu Tedesco

B.Smith Preston iKatoa Nikorima

Edwards Bula Hazelton Skelton

+ $279k ITB

Thinking my strategy this year is to stack my 13 and hope my bench and reserves score well

For me, I really have to pay attention to round 14 now. I have 3 duds that I don't want to play and realised that I have 5 players from Eels, Knights and Sea Eagles who all have the bye that week. So for the next couple of weeks, will have to fix that up. It might pay to check on that so you don't have the same problem as I have.
The byes are going to be really tough to navigate this year, especially rounds 14, 17 and 20 where 3 teams have byes and you need 17 players.

Slim pickings aside from those two. Jack Williams or Billy Burns probably your options.

I've been thinking too, who is the best shitto people are bringing in this week who need it?

Olo
Greig
Talau

Bula doesn't count.  He's elevated himself from shitto status in just 2 games.

Aitken has been ripping it up with consecutive 58's and a BE of 34

Maybe Tino to Tatola next week is the best play.

One last game big man, rip in

My favourite 4 movies are Shawshank, A few good men, Anchorman and Old School

A few recent(ish) movies on filth's must-watch list:

Moonlight
Whiplash
Everything Everywhere All At Once
Annihilation
Mad Max: Fury Road
The Menu
Nope
Dune
1917
Arrival

I found Nope so disappointing. Get Out is in my Top 10 of all time and Us was decent.

Was sooo looking forward to it and made a night of it with Dinner and Pub and Gold Class, but then wanted to leave halfway through. I've tried twice since and it was slightly less bad, but just didn't do it for me.

Get Out is incredible in my book. Gets better every time you watch it.

Haha actually been looking for a good place to buy jerseys. There's one down the Gold Coast but it's a bit out of my way.

Panthers and Warriors stay 1-17 at the 24hr cut.
