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

Seems risky?

Tuilagi is out until R18 (?) so he should be starting until at least then

Worst case he’s just a cash out then looper, best case he plods 40s and makes bulk cash

Agreed. if he can squeeze out 35s that should be 10pts above his current price. for me he gives a r16 hkr and fks Host off.

So shitto with no 16 value -> shitto + cash + 16 hkr

This is where I’m at with Sele. He’s done his job so time to move on to the next guy to do his job

Realised I can go Niko/Su'a/Latrell/Bird to Suaali'i/Hynes/Meaney/Robson

Instead of doing Niko/SJ/Latrell/Bird to Turpin/Hynes//Drinkwater/Robson

Dont need both Robson and Turpin considering only one can play RD16 and Suaali'i gives me cover at CTR that I'm losing with Bird out. SJ also much more likely a keeper than Su'a too

If someone felt the Storm were going to go on a bit of a run, then a 597k Hughes, 623k Meaney funded by a 264k Coates cashout would be a series of solid additions.

I'm also not convinced that EKatoa isn't a final 17 player, and at 553k could be 200 under.


Still going the dullness of Cook/Bateman, but there's tempting times down south.

I'm still not convined this isn't a wasted trade. Both $hit players.

As somebody else pointed out, the golden rule of fantasy is to not trade in a Starling.

With the additional bye rounds this season you need a few subgun "shittos" to make up the numbers.
There are weeks where I have 2 or 3 guns sitting on the pine and I need a scoring 18th, 19th, and 20th player
a midranger like Turpin or Liddle is quite acceptable

Jeez, hadnt noticed Hughes was so cheap. Interesting...

Hughes on a watchlist for me. I think he's only worth it for one game (R16) if Munster plays a full schedule, but if we hear more about these niggles Munster had going into Origin and a managed schedule, I think I'll take Hughes for the 14-18 period. I didn't want to spruik him yet as he's pretty risky.

I also have Katoa, but that's because I choose poorly in the "keep 1 of Preston/Hosking/Katoa" for R16 bingo. Annoying he finally scored a try and then got injured in the same game, might've scored 80+ and really got the cash going. I do think he's a borderline keeper and worth a look.

Had completely forgotten about EKatoa as an option going forward, especially as an alternative to the Bateman/Papalii. Don’t need to worry about Rd17 and 150k cheaper with potential to score very well.

Bit more on this.

My initial thoughts for this week was if we hear 24hrs out Munster is going to be managed, go Granville -> Hughes. Otherwise probably something boring like Granville -> Oloapu and save the cash for somethign else.

Ekat's on my watchlist as long as he gets through this week okay, I could trade Ford to him now but the lingering AC joint injury has me somewhat spooked, and doing the trade now doesn't help my R14 depth at all, so I figure I may as well wait one week and see what happens.

Rd 16 Team looking like it will be this

Robson
NAS/Granville/Fainu
Hosking/Ipap
Moses/Ponga
Manu/Talau
Drinky/Marzhew/Dedwards

Hynes/JDB/Tapine/Harris
Lemuelu/H.Young/Luke/Oloapu

Currently playing Perham and Bula this week in the 13. It’s not ideal but I don’t want to be using trades to jump from one WFB to another.

Like Beth said I don’t think trades anywhere else are needed this week. The gains would be pretty minimal. Unless I’m bringing in Fifita and hoping he backs up the full 80

That's pretty good... love the Marzhew pick

The only problem is he has posted it where the fantasy gods can see it….

I hope it ends well for him

tempting the gods with a poddy Marzhew pick and posting it on a public forum is risky indeed

Is NAS ready to be the slam dunk pick Matt was pumping him up to be? Really short on Round 16 MIDs

Can't believe you have a profile picture of in the fridge LB

you can get banned for that kinda trolling

All I saw was the sauce icon and thought you were breaking some relevant news. Haha

Yes I need to change this, I lost a Bula vs Teddy bet I think

Rib cartilage injuries are fantasy poison, just don't do it to yourself.
