NRL Fantasy 2023 Part 52 - Tigers 66 defeated Cowboys 18

Welsh Mafia wrote:Jee Round 16 looks incredibly grim with the updates today. Yikes.

Sitting on 6, which includes holding Carty, Ponga playing and Billy Smith and Manu playing.

Gulp.. Focussing on 13 specifically may hurt the long game.

Agree that managers may hurt themselves later by focusing so much on 13.

I’ve re-jigged my trades as I was essentially trading out Hosking for a Round 13 WFB. When you think about it, I’d much rather play 12 players in round 13 (minus the 3rd WFB) and have Hosking for Round 16, whilst also saving trades.

Morning all, only 9am here UK time so a little bit behind. I'm happy to change my team name for the screenshot if you need me to?

5 of us in the Top 5 is pretty impressive with only 12 points separating us. Roll on the bye period!

Early thoughts for me this week is the lack of out and out middles for NSW which has me thinking Haas is going to be flogged and then have his minutes managed so potentially the one trade of Haas > Harris leaving me fielding 12 this week with 250k bank.

That can then be used next week to sort out Miller, KNik and Weekes.

May be a trap, but damn it's an enticing one.

I would put Robson at the bottom of the 3 available (JMK, Robson, Cook)

His negatives are atrocious at the moment

Parra put up some training pics which includes a smiling and shirtless Matto

Maybe he’ll play after all

As a Robson owner, I concur. If I didn't already have him, I would be going straight for Cook or JMK instead of this discount Reed Mahoney impersonator

You’ve possibly missed news but Miller is reportedly dropped with Ponga back to FB

I’m thinking for trades 
Miller to Ponga (not exactly sure on this, Drinkwater alternative)
Cheese to Tohu (locked in)
Frizell to Moses (also unsure on this)

Already have SJ and Nikorima, with my only absences in WFB (missing all 3 WFB pre trades after having 2 before this week) but Moses *could* be a big points upgrade if you hit the jackpot (could also flop and Nikorima scores well, but also get cash anyway)

Leaves enough for Host to Bateman/IPap (much tighter with Drinkwater instead of Ponga)

Really?? That would be very surprising (but also bloody wonderful), it looked bad, surely he was just standing around and not actually training. Guess we'll find out tomorrow.

Doesn’t look like an injured player to me but find out soon I guess

Yeah missed that until after my post, almost caught up...

That's annoying after holding him with RD13 in mind and can't flip him straight to Tohu. Back to the drawing board.

Gold for me if he suits up.

Yeah a trade saved

Didn't realise Young was starting, thought he was bench. A sell anywah

Leilua worth a punt if looking for an edge that plays 13 and 16?

Yeah, made me sad

Fingers crossed buddy!

He's looking like a ticking timebomb for a fantasy explosion last few weeks¬ pray its on the big bye week!

Done this now. Only Ando to go.

Done!

Matto seems like a bloke who'd show the rig off injured or not

Correct, also could be too tight to buy a shirt
