NRL Fantasy 2023 Part 48 - Dragons when you buy your coach on Wish

Thats the whole idea. You buy him because he’s been shit and hence is cheap and hope he turns it around. Is still rather pay a little more for Lomax or Ramien.

Staggs has had one of his better years in actual football terms. Its just not good for fantasy.

If Okunbor were to get DPP, he'd be Wfb/edg ?

WFB/MID?

He should get it but they don't really manage bench players consistently with this.

Two games there? What’s going on with teddy mate, I’m starting to worry about origin.

Eye test he is looking old, slow and uninvolved. Few plays in the last couple of games where prime Teddy is backing up and creates a halfbreak/takes it to the house

Wonder if he is carrying an injury and can't afford the rest

I might just run Ted, Miller and Bula at the back and turn Manu into Luki.

Drinkwater or Garrick an option too as I have Manu in the WFB.

Absolutely no fucking idea what to do with NAS, Hosking, Manu

I know I'm getting Bird.

Of course, I traded Hammer last week with a plan to be settled on Bird and Manu this week.

Might just say fuck centre for a while and roll with Talau. Don't want to pay the full premium for Lemuelu.

Tbh I'm not entirely convinced that Manu's out for more than just this round.

It says extended period but who knows what that really means. Moderate ligament damage sounds bad but that's pretty normal for rolling your ankle.

I think there's a decent chance he's back in R14, which will be 3 weeks after the injury, in which case he is most likely a hold.

Right now I'm looking at trading Hosking and Russell to Luki and Ramien. I have no CTR cover and I think Ramien is a great POD, has history of scoring well against the Knights and he's running at their weaker defensive side (Fitzgibbon, Ponga, Best, Marzhew).

No plan to move on from Tedesco? God it's hard not to as an owner.

Teddy hasn't been priced this low in his entire time at the Roosters. You aren't selling him for cash and barring Turbo (who is also playing terribly) no one in his price range has the same ceiling. You would be grabbing a guy like Ravalawa, Drinkwater, Hammer, Garrick who have never gone close to matching Teddy's best seasons

Tbh I think you're onto something because I need to start saving trades more and if I'm saying I'll stick with Talau, well I can do exactly that with Manu in the reserves.

Will definitely be nice to own when he's back and a bunch of people have traded him.

Will just suck this week looking at him, SJ and Tohu out of action.

Yeah, now he becomes a hold til after the bye maybe

Teddy has shat the bed so much I can't even move him sideways at R13 at this point. I'm probably more likely to sell Manu just because of Teddy than the rolled ankle

Yeah it won't be fun with those three out but I think it's worth the pain.

I'm actually no worse off than I was last week, just looping Oloapu and Soni Luke for the last reserve like I was last week, as I have Ikat back in for SJ and am selling Russell who's not playing either.

Yeah this, he’s doing good in actual games, fantasy points aren’t coming anytime soon, in my opinion

How my squad is looking right now.

HOK: T. Boyd
MID: P. Haas, C. Horsburgh, J. De Belin
EDG: T. Loiero, H. Luki
HLF: N. Cleary, N. Hynes
CTR: J. Bird, C. Lemuelu
WFB: HTF, Tedesco, Miller

INT: J. Bula, J. Granville, P. Crossland, K. Nikorima

EMG: T. Harris, J. Manu, P. Alamoti, S. Luke

Really not sure obviously trade out guys are Manu, Alamoti, Granville, Luke and Tedesco

I could go Manu for Whare and have the cash for Johnson next week

Yeah fair enough, and Ramien is only 70k more and is actually doing decently well - also much more useful in terms of byes given he plays 16 and 19

Think I’m doing

Hosking and Manu

To

Lemelu and robson this week

Who says you need a WFB replacement, play Bula there and actually trade to someone playing their worth of 550k
