NRL Fantasy 2023 Part 43 - Luki Skywalker

I hate to interrupt the Movie Thread, but it would be nice to take a minute to think about a fallen brother.

It's been a busy time for MS having his 1st born and recently transitioning into being middle aged; but he has also today benched his testicles and got married!!!

I'm holding Crossland if that helps. Still has the potential to be a 70min 45pt scorer. Mann was either injured or bad or both. Crossland probably scores well enough for the bye round allowing you to target other positions unless you really really want an Eels Half. Still money to be made etc. I'm eyeing him to someone in rd14 unless he makes me sell him beforehand.

Yeah this is a good point. Mann going down is probably the best result for his scoring tbh

I’ve caved to buying Bird I think. It really irks me to get a guy to play CTR that costs almost 700k though

Congrats to MS!

Also might take the time to spare a thought for MF who has done something entirely different to his testicles this week

So what you're telling me is that he's gonna get me maximum points in Fantasy Fantasy this week? Excellent.

Congrats MS! All grown up

As much as I'm not interested in Greig, yeah, he may be a better option than Olo...

But team ethos suggests Olo the right pick.

Need to figure out trades. PANIC

Ones a cheap stodgy pastry that will satisfy you for a short time but leave you feeling hungry
While you can't spell Yolo without OLO

Just think of him as a 2RF filling in at CTR to help your team out

Looks like an epidemic of irking in the last few days!!

If Milf came off the bench into 5/8 and Kodi then gave JMK a rest. That says to me Kodi is more of a sell then Katoa.

True but Kodi has a very low BE this week so you get to have a look at what happens (as long as you don't have to play him)

That explains his absence for the party here last night!

That's awesome MS congrats bro.

One is a Bulldogs half though. But yes, Greig does look like a cheap stodgy pastry.

To be honest they are both sells, its just getting a couple more weeks out of them for me (Unless they score large) to use for rd13 cash outs (I have Moses/Johnson so don't even get their points)
It would probably help kodi making a bunch of tackles in the middle for a bit anyways, no point overthinking it

Pick up olapu or te whare as a cashie this week?

Wiremu Grieg has has pretty low Fantasy output for his entire career, how much of last week was a one off, and how quickly will he revert to a sub-20 scorer.

Its entirely possible Matterson or Carty comes on for him after 20 minutes and he might not even get a second stint

Welcome to the club MS

Love it. Things like The Big Sleep, Laura, In A Lonely Place, The Big Heat. Also love a bit of modern noir like The Last Seduction and LA Confidential, not that these are that modern now.

Haven't watched this Slater presser, but a couple of weeks ago there was media where he explicitly talked about Flegler, HopGOD, Horse and Gilbert as emerging options.

When you consider the forward depth he's thrilled about, most likely none of them make Game 1, at most 1. Unless there are new injuries to guys in front of them.

Te Whare has the bye next week. Most people think its fine to wait a week. Last thing you want to do is trade him in, then he misses a week and then find out Brenko Lee goes straight back into the team

Currently listed as "Kurt Mann (abdominal, indefinite)", I am also holding Crossland this week, couldn't quite get the cash I needed from trading him and could come right next week if back to 65+ minute HOK in 2 stints for a few weeks.
