NRL Fantasy 2023 Part 61 - Picking origin reps for bye planning

I chose to hold him and sell Preston about 6 weeks ago

Now that they are priced about 150k apart maybe I swap them?

I think like me, best bet is to really hone in on what you think is best to do, and then do the absolute f#*%en opposite.

Anyone still bringing in Matto?

Matto comes in R19 for me unless he's named at half again that round.

FYI for Simpkin, Tallyn Da Silva is on the bench and is highly rated, and one reason why Tigers are reportedly happy to shop Simpkin around

That said, Liddle and Simpkin were themselves highly rated youngsters at one point, so who knows at what point Da Silva will disappoint

2. MID
Was Matto
Now, who the fuck knows? Maybe still Matto, maybe NAS

In the same boat mate. Have 0 mids at this stage.

Matto may be a tougher trade this week but I think long term he'll reward.. scores gun like when he's fit.

I only have Hopgood mate not seeing any real options besides Matto or NAS but NAS carrying rib injury. 

Anyone else you see worthwhile?

I was thinking Elliot and/or TPJ prior to last week but Elliot failed the eye test and minute test and TPJ is a real throw of the dice..

Jumping on the NAS express

Also going with my plan trade for simonsen to cover ctr and wing over next few weeks

Thinking
Marzhew (asshole) to DEdwards
Nikorima to Hynes
Moses to NButcher/NAS/Matterson
Loiero to Turpin

Leaves me with 5 trades (should have been 6, fuck Marzhew) and 12 players

Turpin
Hopgood MID X
Bateman Preston
Hynes (c) Oloapu
Smith Manu
Edwards Ponga Bula

My 13 pre trades

Turpin
Hopgood Hedwards x
Bateman (Loiero/Preston loop)
Burton Ponga
Billy Penisini
Bula Edwards Drinkwater

Only trade I'm considering is Hynes in.
Likely for Loiero, but maybe for Burton. Seems strange to be trading out a green dot this week, but that's what makes the most sense long term for me. Otherwise I guess would be Kodi Nikorima in the firing line

I like Nat Butcher or NAS

Don’t need R19 MID/EDG of Matterson (famous last words lol) and Matterson final round bye effectively means he’s a tradeout

Will probably bring him in and then he’ll get benched soon

Have we heard any updates on when we can expect Cheese back, or how his surgery went?

On the fence for Simpkin or Turpin this week and their respective shelf lives has a fair influence on the direction. Simpkin likely has the spot, or shared spot for the next 6-8. I thought he looked busy on the weekend and gave the tigers good go forward.

In a list of regrettable trades, I didn’t expect Granville to Robson in R12 to be so high up the list

Simpkin is definitely the better of the two, for 200k less and more time in the spot. That said I'm waiting until R18 if I bother with him, as I can't cover his bye next week.

N. Butcher is prop I don’t like it. NAS rib injury too

Wonder how many minutes NAS plays yesterday if Katoa isn't injured.

Rough luck on Marzhew mate

I already have Turpin, so I'm not getting Simpkin this week just to hurt me in R17 when he's out and at best he's a loop option for me this week.

Will suffer the 1 week price rise and get him in R18. At which point he may well stay in my team all year, unless he happens to make enough money quickly to be a better trade out option than some of my other cashies.
I look forward to his 8 points in R27

Paseka also possibly option

NAS looked to be over the rib injury this week, running freely and creating havoc
