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

Correct me if I’m wrong but the valamei/feldt conundrum isn’t clear yet because taulugi is at origin

We still don’t know who will be right wing when all 3 are available for selection

Loomer wrote:I held Dylbro to see if cleared to play but going to sell now gives me 13 with 1 trade. Can get HLF or WFB. Have Hynes Smith Manu Garrick Bula and Ponga. Looking at upcoming bye friendly so Valemai or Gutho. Valemai kept spot with Feldt back so leaning him but Gutho job security and decent fixtures. Valemai adds big to already 444k to look at bringing in Haas and maybe Grant soon. Which one to get?

Excellent point. Gutho +1

Knee and potentially coach.

Anyone want to talk me out of the gambol

I prolly have blinkers and overlooked some part of it

I only want him for rd 16,17 and 19

The potentially coach stuff is just hilariously unsubstantiated.

Not a bad option just for those rounds, and then punt.

At full strength hes a benchie, but in bye rounds should play reasonable mins

If i didnt have too many mids already for rnd 19 id probably consider more seriously instead of NAS

Well Carr did say he needed to work on things in his game before he comes back in and it seemed to allude to part of the reason why he wasnt playing.

It could have just been throwaway chat in annoying media session, thats ultimately meaningless. But if it was purely a bung knee why even say that stuff.

Bird does have a history of poor attitude though..

They also said he wasn't injured when taken from the field.

The player won’t be sticking around long with Manu, Lemmy and Bird already in the team

Quality not quantity

Yeah im not sure if that means a whole lot though. Wasnt it confirmed they were doing knee tests on the sideline?

I think its likely we're reading way too much into things, but there is also a reasonable chance there is some friction between bird and coaching staff
