NRL Fantasy 2023 Part 73 - 98% Stand and Applaud

NAS to Murray or DCE this week

The latter messes up squad balance a bit but feels he’s the better scorer and I have enough trades to manage

If my loop options go bad can also trade Tohu on Saturday

If I get Murray, it’ll be to DCE (tempted to just do this tbh)
If I’d get DCE, will be Friz I think

Friz averages 55 taking out the 14min injury game. 57 if you also remove the other low min games .

Was looking at both Friz and Fitz. Both tempting. Seems they like hitting Fitz for some try time action atm.

Good luck for rest of the year  PB

Thanks mate.

Just checked and could do the old switch-o change-o with my two warriors mids this week

AFB & Tohu to Yeo and Murray....mmmm

Mother fucker. Is that for his name?

He did nearly break Paseka in half.

It’s a bit of a Colq up this week. My loop option is no longer in the picture and I’m staring at Bula in my 17. Looking at present and potentially future Eliminator matchups, I’m feeling the need to do a calculated boom or bust play to see out the year. Am I being to’o ambitious?

Yeo lightly owned amongst the top teams, so I'm no sure if he is a "must", although he'll certainly be one of the top scorers for the run home.

DCE only $737k which isn't too bad if you can stretch that far, with a fairly good run home.


Lachlan Fitzgibbon $608k or Mitchell Barnett $616k are possible budget options

Pretty soon he will be back, standing and walking like a regular Rory Colquhoun

In the monthly, I am ranked 10th - 41 points behind first place, but only 12 points behind 3rd (and a $250 NRL shop voucher) 1st has a bit of a gap to 2nd, but after that its pretty crowded near the top, and anyone could gain or lose a bunch of places with a few extra points

Should I go POD captain option, in the hope that Hynes and Cleary both fail to fire, and hope I can pick someone to banner and catapult me to the top.
I'd pretty much use one of my remaining trades to get in a captaincy option. My odds of winning something in the monthly are good enough to risk a slightly worse overall rank if it doesn't come off. Certainly not going to win any prizes for overall.

So who is the best player not Cleary or Hynes to captain this week?
DCE vs Dragons? Give Drinky a shot vs Titans? Give one of the Dolphins a shot vs the Bulldogs (Hammer? Legitimately captain Isaako)?

If I just stick with Hynes/Cleary and everything else goes well, i could sneak into 2nd/3rd but there's a bunch of people to overtake.

ytsb and snatch also in with a shout at a prize. How are you guys going to play it?

Am I silly for pinning my hope on the Roosters? Getting Cheese and Nutcher for Bula and Tohu.

Hoping for a big end of the season from them to try and creep into the 8 and appease the fans?

Also gives me cover for every position from 14-18 and 4 trades to see out the run home

Rabbitohs left edge against poor tigers right edge. How niche do you want to go? Cody Walker field day imo. Or a fresh Latrell? Take your pick.

I did think about Latrell, but definitely not captaining a guy who keeps threatening a comeback and then not playing.

Cody Walker is an interesting punt though. Probably not as captain, but may think about bringing him in as a POD choice

If you own Garrick, he may be a shout against the Dragons. Drinky vs the Titans is probably the best POD captain though (if I had him, I would do it and not think twice)

If he keeps getting those minutes, I'm sure Cheese will do fairly well. However I simply can't bring myself to do it for a third time.

I didn’t get on him the second time round when everyone else did so I don’t have as much ptsd

Ready for some junk burrow over tries

Double his usual base. What was the difference?

Haha I had him both times but I’m ready to be hurt again. Just suits my team and if he’s getting those minutes I’m in.

Maybe he’s finally fit lol. Wasn’t their question marks on that all through the first third of the season?

I’m just a trying to talk myself into getting him
