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

Any ideas if there were any issues with Tapine's knee afterwards? I know he came back and played fine but the day after usually the issue. I guess he's named so must be 100%.

Feels a bit rude to do him like that after a 50 last week when I needed him.

I'm promoting him to my starting side this week as he got me out of a bind last week too. Solid 50 last week and as you say, against the Titans, could see some opportunities.

With Manu out I need a centre (been running with no back-up).  At $220k, Brbo is damn tempting, but I have a sinking feeling he's a trap, like a few have suggested.  The "questions" I implemented for myself to try to stop the 2 or 3 really stupid trades each year: Burbo a big fail.  Nevertheless, I bet he ends up in my team later this week.

A bottom dollar cashcow, that has DPP and plays round 13 & 16 can't be too bad, even if he doesn't set the world on fire

Really just a concern whether he holds the position. If he's still starting in round 16 then it almost certainly a good trade in, even though he probably doesn't play 80.

I’m hoping he goes well this week. Wouldn’t mind trading him in next week.

Surely there must be some Trbo talent in there? or did the footy gods only endow his brothers?

With his high(ish) BE it might be worth waiting a week

There's a bunch of potential cheapies this week, but I don't have anyone I am desperate to move on

Happy to ditch Loiero, but don't have a lot of EDG cover so i fI trade him out I have to play Host (or whatever EDG I trade in)

Also worth noting that we get 4 trades a week from next week, so plenty of time to adjust for byes

Yeah, I might wait a week, get a gun in Tapine instead for Hosking and have the better player this week, see who gets picked for Origin and go from there next week. Could go Robson or Hop this week but want to be sure.

I need a CTR this week (thanks Manu) so he's as good an option as any of the cheapies as a stopgap.

What are Matto's chances of making Origin do we reckon?

Currently thinking I'll do:

Alamoti -> Burbo
Hosking -> Matto
(maybe) Granville -> Hedwards

Then next week:

Boyd -> Tohu
Loiero -> Hopgood (or another edge if he makes origin)

That gives me 12 for R13:

Spoiler:

Anything obvious I'm missing? And is Granville to Hedwards worth a trade? I have 22 left before doing anything if that helps.

Looking at Tino and Carrigan out next week for Tapine and Harris. Should be a nice straight swap and then maybe Loiero to Hopgood if he doesn’t make origin

I would definitely lock in Granville to H Edwards, Granville is no use to you for R13 anyway since you have Robson, and Edwards is a much better player (and also covers 16 and 19)

High chance, was selected for game 1 last year on form, then unavailable for selection game 2. NSW short on forwards, I expect his chances of being selected are higher than non selection.

I actually agree. I think he is certainly in the frame for a bench spot.

Don’t say that I just got him lol

Actually don’t think he will, Freddy made some comments about him taking the fine over the suspension like ‘I wouldn’t want to play with a teammate that did that’

Not the vibe

Matto def doesnt fit freddys vibe. No chance

Fair enough. Did not know that.

But he doesn't fucking do anything?

And they don't even fucking play next week!!

Burbo: Got time to check my quick calcs from last night.   Had mis-entered one wrong score, so now getting same BE as Milch (always trust Mr Milch!!).

Updated numbers here.

Burbo Projections:

PS: Weird. On the app, Burbo scored 29 according to the "Fixtures" tab and 33 according to the "Match Stats" tab
