NRL Fantasy 2023 Part 59 - Who did you trade Cleary to?

Is Tino going to face any issues for the hit on Koro? I didn't see it or hear any commentary so I don't know if it was an accident or whether what Tino did was illegal.

In my opinion he didn’t do anything illegal

However I expect him to be suspended due to the normal moral panic and the fact api is injured

Tino has the ball pinned to his chest, didn’t extend forward like he did with the Mahoney one

Koro stood too square, point of contact was the wrist of tino, not elbow etc, it was a typical hit up, that happens many times, but the discrepancy in height and poor positioning of the tackler lead to an unfortunate outcome

It’s on Twitter if you wanna draw your own conclusions

You didn't spend the Cleary to Moses cash on the Hosking upgrade? I assume not, but I know maths isn't really your thing.

Most seem to think Tino will be fine, but I'm not so sure. Looks like he does a forceful lunge with the forearm just before contact, same action he used on Mahoney a few weeks ago and only got a fine. Now that he's broken someone's jaw with the same thing, they might drop the hammer.

One of those games where you shake your head ‘cos you have no idea how a player ended up with as many fantasy points as he’s been credited with.

He ran for almost a tenth of a kilometre and was involved in 16 tackles! Well deserved 3 imo.

It looked to me as if it was the right arm carrying the ball, against his chest, that contacted API's jaw. Almost the back of his hand. I saw the left arm fend, but to my eyes that didn't contact the head. Could be wrong though.

He probably gets suspended because Api got hurt..

Thanks Gaz.

Had a look at it on twitter, I think you're on the money. Koro way too square, should've gone low with the other boys with him. Tino just protecting himself and doing a bog-standard hit-up. Nothing in it but a bit of bad luck imo

Nah had about 90k ITB. Think I could've gone Hosking > Bateman with about 10k spare or something (though I didn't consider that until now - better to be lucky than good).

When I look at it I definitely see a lunge forward towards Koro but nothing extravagant or vicious.
Tino has Origin next week so will be fine

Yep 9k to spare I can't see Moses getting picked unless Hynes got injured anyway. ARey might be ahead still too.

When are the origin sides named? Monday?

You have Wakeham?

Anyone have Simpkins true BE? Assume it's a bit higher than stated on footy stats (26)

Despite my hesitancy, think I'll flick Burbo to Fainu. Don't love it, but could get lucky for a few weeks.

Niko can likely become Simpkin next week.

Cleary to Moses, maybe next week. I've got Ponga/Niko who can sub in for him this week, but no way to loop them. (although maybe there is and i'm just stupid)

10 trades left after Burbo to Fainu this week.

I give up - it was a funny gif

Things were starting to get desperate for a rd 16 hooker.

Leave Cleary in the 13 and then line Niko up first in your subs (pos 18)...if he shits the bed sub Pongman in for Cleary from Pos 19.

That's what I'm doing anyway
