NRL Fantasy 2023 Part 45 - Fanatical Times

Tino
Hunt
J Pap/Welch
Fifita
Felise
Carrigan

Grant
Cotter
Arrow
Collins/Capewell

How we see QLD pack?

There is MoFo and Horse too and I’ve probs forgotten someone?

Do we think Horse makes the 18 man squad or will be 19/20th man?

Would it be silly to consider Tapine to bring in my team over Horse? I mean lots have just traded out Tapine.

What are the chances E. Butcher gets his 80min edge role back next week?

Gilbert played last year, and Flegler was 18th man in game 3, but I doubt either are in the picture this year (hope not anyway as I have Gilbert).

My guess is Collins and Capewell, don't see Arrow there. Actually think Capewell will start and Fifita on bench.

They have some crazy forwards depth though, Horse could be in the mix, and would only take a couple of injuries to bring him into the fold.

I don't mind Tapine instead.

I’ve got

Welch
Hunt
Papa
Capewell
Kaufusi
Tino

Grant
Carrigan
Cotter
Fifita

Collins potentially over Cotter or Fifita. Not many Roosters begging to be picked for the first time in a while

None because I brought in Angus Crichton this week

I would say slim to none tup-o-nooya and angus would have to take control now

Ford > Su'A

Tempting to go to hopgood but maybe I just let that train go?

Sua is priced at his average or above his average isn’t he?

So not really gonna make any money and who knows what is going on at the Dragons?

Isn't he underpriced? Plays 80 or thereabouts. Only time he didn't was due to injury.

Someone tell me if im being stupid here or not.

going Murray to Horse and pocketing some coin.

the simple move after this is Ford to Drinky and then move Manu to Center and put Alamoti on the bench and keep as cover or dump for VTW next week.


The out there move im thinking is Alamoti to VTW now and just play Tommy T one week at Center then punt on VTW from next week onwards.

Then I have the cash to go Ford to Ipap who has a decent BE but is a Keeper Edge with high upside.

Note im a H2H player.

TU: Keep it simple Ford to Drinky
TD: Roll the dice Ford Alamoti to Ipap TVW

They really do this year, hey?

In addition to those listed above you've got: Wallace, Gilbert, Nanai, Hess, Su'a, Joe O who are all previously capped. Obviously most/all of them aren't playing to that level this year, but it's been a while since QLD have had the luxury of leaving those kinda guys out rather than just selecting them by default. Plus Hopgood who could easily fit in at that level (and probably will before too long).

Here are his averages the last few seasons when playing 60+ mins in the second row:

2020: 41.5
2021: 45.5
2022: 43.9
2023: 48.8

Career: 43.6

He's currently priced at about 43-44. He's maybe slightly undervalued based on his numbers this year, but I'm more inclined to think that's just a small sample size so far and he'll average out to early 40s across the course of the season. I think he's priced about bang on what he'll score.

Yes was meant to post this earlier, surprised at the interest when he's $600k. Agree he's priced right about where he'll score over the season.

Have to bring a CTR or I’m playing with 16,can trade Ford to fund it. Only have 544k,Smith worth a punt?

600k is a 45 average which is above where he usually sits for a season.

His average for playing 70+ minutes at second row is only 43

Thought of having 3 dragons makes me vomit out my nose

Might be worth a crack. Hopefully puts up a couple of decent scores before the bye.

I can’t get him though, had him last year and said never again

Jack Bird's just given the old "fuck them fans" and the classic "I bet you've never laced up a pair of boots in your life" old school rubbish.
Culture at that club at an all time low.
