NRL Fantasy 2023 Part 58 - I can’t see Cleary through the tears

From Telegraph early mail

Dragons: Jack de Belin is likely to be unavailable due to a nasty head knock, which will be somewhat offset by the return of Jack Bird.

It’s unknown whether Bird is a direct replacement at lock, or if coach Ryan Carr keeps him on an edge.

Just noticed with this

The part that is definite (JdB out) is described as likely

While the part that is likely (Bird return) is described as definite

Probably a good source on the 2nd but just funny way to write it

Get fucked.

If Matto could return 1 week ahead of schedule that'd  be perfect.

Bit of R&R during the bye and he will be keen to get on the park

CNK/Koula loop at WFB
Niko/Tatola loop at 17

Think it’s the latter but then CNK is kinda fun/terrifying to watch as it always feels like a challenge for him to survive 80 mins. And then you look and despite being in everything he’s only scored 33 anyway

koula was poor rd 13 i think cnk will outscore him comfortably & he's playing his old club so will want the win & good individual game. i feel niko/tatola is the pair i'd loop because both should go 30+ & if 1 fails the other should perform whareas you can't say that with koula.

Didn't know the milf news, hell yeah, the Niko train rolls on.

Only need him one more week, but at least that should ensure 80 mins at 6 this week. Will have made 270k+ after a shakey start

Although Niko to Fainu could be the go.

SOS back soonish anyway I think

I need a sacrificial lamb for Fainu and Niko makes the most sense despite maybe a bit more cash to make, unfortunately

The Bird news is incredibly annoying too considering everyone jumped off expecting 2 weeks out + bye

Cleary to Bird I guess

Then next week, when Cleary makes his unexpected return, can trade Bird back to CLeary

Moving on Cleary like everyone else but looking to not go Moses as im H2H

DCE im looking at as a proven option and even though SJ and Moses have a higher average DCE has the runs on the board over years.

The interesting option though is Munster

62 average last year and priced at 720k

TU: DCE
TD: Munster

No guarantee Bird gets 80 if EDG so I think it was the right decision selling

Can at least see if he’s got the body right. At least with him back, Billy Smith can be swiftly fucked off following his 20 points in R16

How is Moses worse for H2H, the final round bye is after H2H final

What I meant by that as I'm H2H Moses doesn't have an advantage over say DCE as I don't care about Round 16. So not that he is bad for H2H just that his round 16 isn't an Advantage.

So really, I just want the best Half and I was thinking DCE has more 60+ years then Moses.

Tatola was on my chopping block but surely he benefits from no Murray and Arrow

And yet in R13 it was his lowest mins since I picked him up

Looking to bring in either Ipap or Bateman for Chin this week. Deciding who is the tough part.

I think if Bateman is going to continue to get some time in the middle then that decides it. I also see his 80min role safer than Ipap as he can sometimes get an early shower, don’t think he’s as fit… but is a lot more explosive

What do you do with a problem like Luki? Hard to know if those minutes are an anomaly because they were beating the Storm and didn't want to change what was working, or if that's gonna be the norm going forward.

Here is an interesting one.

Fifi to Bateman

If Bateman goes 55 the next 3 weeks he goes up 50k
If Fifi goes 60 the next 3 weeks (accounting for 1 slightly lower game after origin) he losses 80k

that's 130k made with 1 trade. Its more if Fifi has another low minute game then he would lose 100k+

H2H so looking just at Cash Gen

I would be upgrading E.Katoa to a premo Edge in a 4-5 weeks anyway so If i move out Fifi i would be bringing him back in and if I keep him I would be getting a premo edge anyway so its just 1 trade used for 130k+ potentially.

Stick him in your 18-21 to see what happens...? Loop him using a cowboys player?

Use Luki to loop Cleary and Drinky?

At some point you would expect Nanai will go back to 80 minutes

Either Luki or Luciano would be the likely candidates to lose out for this to happen
