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

So would I, but if I hold him, it means I'm playing Olo. Doesn't seem worth it.

Actually, I could do this if I toss JDB for Bateman.

Surely Moses doesn’t play Origin? Hynes in and Cook onto bench yes?

Got 16 playing atm and that’s with hedwards and lemuelu hia issues, host not playing full games
Going to try to only trade Cleary to a gun who ideally only has 1 bye round over the next 6 weeks.

9 trades left atm- with origin teams being up in their atm, it’d be horrocious to trade a fringe origin player this week only to see him being picked for origin next week!

Respect to the geezer with 0 trades

Anyone else going Cleary to Cogger? His subs normally score well in his role. Puts some nice cash in the bank too.

Assuming Brown is going to play I think I'll just do Cleary to Ponga and see how things look next week to use the $800k in the bank. Would have 18 green dots with Robson, Drinkwater and JDB out.

There seems to be a lot to come back, Burbo, Tuilagi. Condon, Bullemor and Lawton could complicate things?

Bullemor and Condon are middles, Lawton is a backup hooker. His main competition is Tuilagi and Burbo who were both picked a head of him before they got injured.

Fainu will be handy this round and rd 16. Beyond that you are relying on him winning the spot over Tuilagi and Burbo or getting good mins off the bench

Probably only gets 4 games with the R19 bye so probably falls short of 150k price rises.

Averaged 47 for the Dogs over 9 games a few years back. Definitely a consideration for those who have held some trades.

Had alot of kick metres which should continue next to Luai.

Feels a bit too short term even if the bank balance looks good. TLT should be a cracker

Was also looking at Cogger

He "Only" got 32 on the weekend playing 64 minutes, that included 481km and a try assist

Obviously he probably didn't expect to come on and would've perhaps been nervous "Oh shit I'm filling in for Cleary wtf", but 32 points in almost 80 minutes including a try assist isn't screaming out to be a buy this week

(Fully expecting him to make cash though, has a 24 BE this week too)

Agree with this

Honestly I don't pay too much attention to TLT because anyone in the 21 squad can play, but will be interesting

- Is Bird back
- Who will fill in for Arrow/Murray
- Will Brown be named (As expected) and if he doesn't play who takes #6
- Is Latrell back
- Will Turbo play
- Who will be Manly 2nd Row

etc etc

Looking at the charge for "sexual touching" it's conceivable that Brown isn't out for that long if at all.

It looks like this type of charge can be laid for some pretty innocuous things, like running your hand down somebodies back, or touching a persons hair.

This has every likelihood to be dismissed.

In terms of what message the NRL and the Eels want to send the public, well probably a mandatory suspension period if the charges are accurate. But if the CCTV footage shows something very innocuous, he could be let off.

If Bird is named then is it possible he was just dropped last week rather than injured and the injury was just a cover to avoid the distraction?

I can tell you that Fainu is a pure cash out who has a decent chance to play and score in my Mid position in week 16, and that is more than enough for me. He will try his personal best

Daedalus wrote:If Bird is named then is it possible he was just dropped last week rather than injured and the injury was just a cover to avoid the distraction?

I don't think there was ever any quotes from the Dragons that he would miss two games.

Anyway, now that he's out of my team I probably wouldn't consider bringing him back until after their rnd 20 bye.

I think I'm in the hold Cleary camp, I want to see how origin lands.

I'll probably go Burbo to Fainu and hope to get a few price rises and a round 16 mid out of the exchange.

Hoping I can get by with just that one trade this week but will see what TLT throws out.

Woo-Hoo. Trade away.
