NRL Fantasy 2023 Part 72 - Crazy Trade Time

also i hope the bulldogs target cleary in defense so he racks up 30 odd tackles just to add a few more points when he tonnes up

I do think its going to be a case of people who don't bring in Cleary are going to be celebrating that he only scores 75 and not 95.

NRL Physio had some stats last week with hamstring reinjury rates being 10-15% but not necessarily first game back.

Yeah it’s a high-ish reinjury rate, as well as Turbo see Latrell, Jayden Sullivan etc.

but it’s also higher when players come back fast. Clubs are generally more cautious with this now. Cleary is at week 7 of a 4-6 week injury recovery.

I like option two, but would trade Manu rather than Gagai. Does the extra 70k let you stretch to someone like Ramien?

Only 464k sadly which is why I looked at Option 3 with going up to a guy like Penisini who for me his late bye doesnt matter as H2H over by then but them in going down to 4 trades left.

Got me thinking now.

Is Robson to Murray worth the trade? Maybe worth holding and seeing if an injury/suspension rises that makes a more obvious trade out target instead?

I'm waiting a week to sell Robson for that exact reason.

In the same boat with Tohu

I feel like last week when I was primed to trade Manu (until Teddy was rested) it was bonkers and now everyone is doing it. A week is a long time in fantasy footy

Trade will be Manu to Cleary

Unless Kris really shits the bed and is completely unplayable, then it’s add NAS to Murray. Or change to Drink to Cleary and probably NAS/Matto to Yeo/Haas (latter if maths works, haven’t checked)

Robson 63 BE
Murray 51 BE

Say Murray drops a 65 and Robson a 40 how much cash do you lose by not making the move this week?

That's a premium worth paying if it means that if one of your other guns gets injured or suspended, you can sell them to Murray (or Cleary in my case) instead and keep Robson.

If the funds are tight do it now

Yeah that was the point I was trying to make to those people who want to test out the hammy in the first game back.

I care more about points than cash at this point. The 25 points would be more handy than a few bucks.

With me its Tohu and Murray, rather than Robson/Murray, but unless Tohu gets a 2nd minute HIA and/or Murray busts out a banner, I'll still be able to afford the trade next week. For some people cash might be tighter, in which case I'd say make the trade this week if you can, rather than risk something happening that makes it unaffordable

Think I might sell Gutho. Made +100k off him and produced 58avg in 3 games but some tough games coming up

Is Rabbits21 also Cookie from LMC podcast? Someone telling me he is but I said don't think so

Want Garrick can flick Penisini to him  this week?  Or hold Penisini and flick Bula next week?

Leaning hold Bula as he avg more with Api and Brooks in the team. 

Thoughts?

I dunno dude, I suck at Fantasy. FWIW I Think that it is a strong upgrade.

But maybe check with one of the acronyms (MS, MTB, MC, BZ, ET, GS....)and get a better view?

Damn, an acronym! Is that where I've been going wrong?!

I vote hold Bula.

They both seem like low to mid 40s players, but Bula plays the extra game

Hope so. Having Hynes at 98% captaincy or whatever it's been recently almost makes it redundant, it's a bit more fun when it's closer to a 50/50 split (plus whatever random POD captains the risk-takers chuck in on a given week).

The 50/50 split will be next weekend.

I still like option 2 mate, if you're going to go weak anywhere then centre is the place, and a Manu/Averillo combo is hardly the end of the world to facilitate getting Cleary. I'd be scared of option 1 going down to just three trades with that 18-21.
