NRL Fantasy 2023 Part 63 - Oloapu mid DPP when?

filthridden wrote:Hosking bumped to #18 is a blow for my team.

Cook
Horsburgh, jdb, NAS
Hopgood, Hosking
Johnson, Metcalf
Manu, Ramien
Ponga, Tedesco, Drinkwater

Haas, Robson, Stone, Crossland

Oloapu, Preston, Bula, Hynes

Option 1: Pray Hosking makes his way back into the 17, Pray Klese pushes Stimson out before the game and trade him in for Oloapu

Option 2: Trade Hosking to Bird

Both options include over-reliance on prayer and a certain amount of stress and crying

Anything else I should be looking at?

Happy to field 16 at the expense of not having to trade in another centre.

I don't think Smith is a good cashout, though he may be a good cash cow if Sam Walker's out long enough (he needs 3-4 games at least so Walker would have to be out until R21-22 at the earliest).

Jed just isn't that good, and his byes are at really annoying times, plus I'm wary of a late swap with Chee Kam.

Hands may be worth it if Hodgson can stay out of the team, but at the very least he's played every game this year since debuting so he'd be fairly safe in the 17 even with Hodgson back, so maybe he might be the better cashout. He is a bit pricey for a cashout but may be worth paying the extra there.

The bigger surprise would not be that Butcher has been benched and Angus isn't the one to replace him.

Yeah, I'm wary about MCK too.

The only thing with Hands is that he doesn't play next week giving Hodgson an extra week to get back.  Kinda have the feeling that Hodgson ain't coming back though.

This was what a friend did for me back in 2021 and put together a cool little time lapse video a couple days ago. Took me a while to changing it here haha

Because cashouts need job security and VTW doesn't have it. Unless we hear that Brenko is out long term, I don't trust him to stay in the team for the rest of the season, whereas someone like Hands will at least be in the 17 every week even with Hodgson back.

You've been talking Coates up, what about him?

What I really need is an EDG, CTR or WFB cashout and I really don’t like the look of any of them, so the wait continues
