NRL Fantasy 2023 Part 50 - Teddy time

robelgordo wrote:Morning all. What a rollercoaster that Dragons game was. Wife is away so watched the game with my kids instead of doing boring things like getting them showered. That amazing Teddy try made my 6yo cry hahahaha. He was ok a minute later and went berserk with the match winner. As did I tbf.

579/7c seems immense but really need to wait for Hynes captainers to get done to see where it lands.

Like many I’m either playing 16 or make a CTR trade

CTR trade out is iKatoa or Niko - probably former due to money to be made. Is that logic sound or Niko too much of a risk?

Trade in… Burbo I guess. Don’t mind Olam or Hiku value at their prices but would never buy someone so mid in another position, so don’t think I should at centre.

Anyone else I’m missing as options there?

Need to now somehow find another backup hooker for Robson for their bye. Might just have to go to Grant during Origin period 

This month has been a disaster for my team

Tanah Boyd?

On Brandon Smith - I love nothing more than trading players out twice in a season, but looks like its happening

Same here, and if Hopgood makes Origin (very likely at this point), then that'll be two players that I've sold, bought and sold again this season.

Yeah, the way Billy spoke in commentary makes me think Hopgood is at worst 18th man.

Will give a nice 10 minute burst off the bench.

Yup I'm all but assuming that Hoppy will be there, which really sucks because I have 12 trades left and am already selling Cheese to Tohu next week (which will eat most of my cash reserve).

At this point given my lack of hooker cover without Cheese, I might just hold Hoppy in R13 itself and then trade for JMK in R14 (have Robson already so JMK is no use to me in R13).

The key is maybe to take a small hit during origin but come home strong. There will be a lot with no trades from R20 imo
