NRL Fantasy 2023 Part 45 - Fanatical Times

With Kamikamica back, I can see NAS scoring well over the next few games on the EDG. Misses Round 13 but I already have forward cover in any case there

Cook & Hynes have been relegated to 14 -17 until the can show me they are worth of a starting gig.

A poor score rarely strikes Hynes twice in a row. Are you sure you want to miss him tonning up?

Fair but are we confident he walks straight back into the starting side?

Got Mitch Barnett to come back soon as well.

True.

Ford had the spot locked down and his work ethic on the pitch is huge, even if it results frustratingly in fantasy.

Barnett was also reported to have a career ending injury a few weeks ago, so I wouldn't count on his return anytime soon, especially right back into the 17

Bird is an edge don't forget.

Yep, just meant i kind of have to pull that trigger.

Just short of hopgood in one trade, annoyingly. Could punt niko.. but to who

Surely Te-Whare get another shot in the centres.

Need 2 trades to field 17 with Ford out (and Couchman on the couch). Cashouts are uninspiring, but probably looking at Ford & Hammer > Hopgood & Hodgson. Hodgson's 18 points might come in handy this round and Rd 13.

Ford Couch Katoa Null

Means I have Greig in my starting 17. Very not ideal, but going to try and go tradeless for the first time since round 1.

I don't like my chances.

Wasn't Barnett exclusively in the MID rotation earlier in the year??

He was, it's been Niukore and Ford as first choice edges all year long

Looking for an EDGE with good bey coverage, other than Luki, is there anyone glaring i'm missing?

Budget ~500k

There was discussion he may have picked up a rib injury, but I can't see it confirmed anywhere.

That might be pretty much it. There's Tuilagi at Manly, but he's scoring like a drain. Davey but with no real security on role with Carty and Matto there.

I'm looking at Host, that bunnies draw looks pretty soft

It's Jacob Host though, one of the greatest traps in fantasy history. He's trapped people every year for the last 4 years

If you already have him then hold him (you might as well get a little money) but if you don't own him then just don't do that to yourself, you deserve better

So the big question -

(C) Cleary or Hynes?

Hynes easily

Ford a trade out? His dual and bye schedule make him useful but missing two games is awful
