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

Seems crazy picking him over Hynes but we are fantasy coaches, not real life ones.  I guess there's no harm in waiting until next week but doesn't Moses normally tear up the Dogs?

Last 5 games against the Dogs he’s averaged 62.

Low of 43, and a high of 87

Out for 6 weeks and back in 2? We know what those docs at the Panthers are like

Not a chance with a grade 2 hamstring tear

Minor hamstring strains are 1-2 weeks

What was Koros injury. Was it a hand injury?

my tv broke wrote:Dragons coach last week mentioning a few things for Bird to work on in his game makes it seems like it was a convenient way to drop him.. while also.. giving him a rest. haha

Just can't pick him up this week even if named (and I'm playing Billy Smith with no cover at CTR at the moment)

Been subbed twice in last 3 games with knee issues, plus missing games as well. Just too much of an risk
Lets all trade in Turbo and Ponga instead.

Been a lot of moving around guns

eg Cleary to DCE at R3 bye, but then DCE to SJ
Bought Haas R7 and sold R9
Seemed to go Moses to Brown at R11

Sounds great fun for half a season

Hmmmm The Springfield Isotopez, I wonder if that's our friendly Mayor?

Hold 990k of Cleary in EMG for a week to be sure?

I mean I can go Cleary to Fainu and just hold Niko, then trade Niko to who isn’t picked next week

A tough assignment against Penrith could have a lot of coaches putting Manu in the naughty chair, particularly if Bird flies (geddit?!)

Really is a tempting season for trades

I'm happy with my overall 17 ATM but only 3 trades and a few injuries dealing with getting rid of cleary help me boosted overall playing depth and got some cash at 18-19 to upgrade to top tier guns.Team just isn't set for the next bye rnd.

Jdb horse Harris
Preston Bateman
Hynes sj

7 missing in R17 should be interesting

Remind me not to pick you in fantasy fantasy that week

Hoping Null Null drops on price now after the HIA affected round

Anyone consider Bateman a must have heading into round 16? Has he been playing this supposed 'hybrid' role all year or was it a new thing last round? Still tempted to go Papali'i instead. Boyd likely to make way but not exactly keen on selling him.

Yeah will be brutal but should save trades on the major bye rnds

hmm. what happens if IPAP gets a try and an 85 this week

still think its a flip of the coin between them.

Hasn’t been playing middle all year but I think it’s happened a few times. With Ofa leaving it was somewhat expected

I wouldn’t say he’s a must have, but a good option

There is a very limited range of exemptions to the 11-day stand down, would kinda be shocked Turbo qualifies. And I don't think any other players have yet. Will defer to NRL physio take when it arrives.

I'm honestly expecting Moses or Reynolds with Hynes at 6, Hynes/Luai isn't a combo with the kicking game for origin imo

Basically, Manly successfully argued that, at no stage was he considered to have been concussed, so, why should he have to sit out.

https://www.seaeagles.com.au/news/2023/06/06/tom-trbojevic-cleared-to-play-against-dolphins/

“Our Chief Club Medical Officer, Dr Paul Bloomfield, agreed that Tom had to be removed from the field but at no point was he diagnosed with concussion,’’ Mestrov said.

“Furthermore, Tom does not have a history of concussion issues.

“Throughout this process, Tom has not been diagnosed with concussion from either NSW Dr Nathan Gibbs, Dr Bloomfield, or independent doctor, Dr Chris Levi.

“Tom will line up for the Sea Eagles on Friday night.”

Ha fair enough. I thought Cat 1 was clear concussion symptoms ie. you were definitely concussed. It'a a bit of a slippery slope in that a lot of players might suddenly argue "yeah I lost balance but I wasn't actually concussed let me play". Or is the argument here that the independent doctor observed behaviour wrong? Just more confusion.

I have lived up to my name and now have 0 trades lmao only positive note is I'm fairly happy with my current crop and have accounted for byes to the best of my ability have very healthy numbers unless carnage happens then my seasons derailed and it's been a blast.

Isn't this just in regards to how any player that cops a solid knock is taken off for a hia ? Even when they aren't concussed at all to begin with
