NRL Fantasy 2023 Part 56 - Adelaide, home of the dark blues

The main thing that going Isaako over Edwards would allow me to do is trade Ford to Bateman, whereas right now I can't afford it.
On the other hand, that doesn't get me any more depth this week as I have three on the bye (Hoppy Russell Fainu), and can still only cop one Origin rest (likely Walsh) and field 17.

I'm not convinced with Meaney, he has been good this year but he just doesn't pass the eye test for fantasy purposes. He isn't as involved in the attack as someone like Edwards (in terms of getting TA/LBAs), nor is he usually on the end of the attack like Isaako is.

TLDR: I think Meaney is the McCullough of fullbacks, never bad enough to be a sell but never good enough to be a genuine keeper.

Good call on Meaney im not super convinced either.

I have decided to go Edwards and just get Fainu for Granville early so I can still go Bateman or Tohu.

Can you do that or do you already have Fainu?

Really hope this is a form thing for Teddy though, its never fun to watch champions struggle.

I already have Fainu and my other trade this week is Ikat to Liddle (alongside Bird to Edwards)

Who takes Gilbert’s spot?
Hopgood would have to be in the mix.

They need an EDG, not yet another lock (in addition to Carrigan, Cotter and Tino).

Isn't Gilbert a lock? But being used on the edge for QLD?

Suspended until R17. Origin is after R16, so assume he can play?

Capewell is another option.
