NRL Fantasy 2023 Part 73 - 98% Stand and Applaud

Finch wrote:Bit of a brutal TLT for me

No Skelton/NAS/Harrison Graham (At this stage)

Lussick on the bench will impact Hands, but everyone owns him so not a huge deal, and will be fine for this week

HTF back at Fullback is good

Having to play Hands is surely the issue

needed all my players to be named, as carrying 4 warriors, two not named,

have two trades left, looks like it will be all she wrote for trades this year then

poor planning,

still a rookie, hopefully the ones i bring in can hold the fort down

Finucane out for season with bicep injury

Might just pick McInnes to end season, lower average this year without Finucane but averaged 57 last year without him

Bench hooker for the eels is probably good for hopgood, i guess.

No skelton is annoying but was always the most likely outcome. Hopefully he sneaks back into the team in a week or two

ACtually, just realised perhaps NAS has a finger/hand injury? He did something to it last week

Make sure you consider the byes ahead and that you can cover them (focus on the last round or two as well where carnage usually happens)

Also yes BSmith coming in for the 3rd time this season. I'm a sucker for punishment.

Think in my quest to jag the weekly I make take a punt on Scott Drinkwater, Harry Grant or DCE as captain (David Fifita also somewhat in the conversation), and hope Cleary and Hynes both fail to go massive

Either that or stick with Cleary and hope to just do enough with my other layers to make ground.

Any others in the 13 a little poddy ?

Is there a decision betwen who to play in 17 that is interesting?

Obviously your call but playing 1 short this week feels better than using all.your trades. If someone expensive cops a season ender this week having 800k on the pine for the rest of the season will be more than the 40-50 points missed this week.

Yeah storm site says he misses through injury

2 left here also, not sure if I dump someone and bring Cleary in plus a midi level guy ..

I've ended up having Penis in me all year, in terms of who we started with from day one. Have to say it has felt surprisingly good.

I currently have 4 parra players so I need to start making moves while I have the trades. These are my options from what I can see.

Option 1. Just one trade of Hands to Kiraz this week and sit tight
Option 2. Moses/Hands to Murray/Timoko
Option 3. Balls to the wall trades of Moses/Hopgood/Hands to DCE/Murray/Garrick

None of my emergencies are named outside of Hands who now has Lussick on the bench.

Thoughts on this would truly be of great help

Money is very tight so there aren’t really any other combinations I have come across that give me players I genuinely want in my team, besides the ones I’ve mentioned.

Is Bird that far out of favour now?

BMM injured or just dropped?

BMM was down as a three week injury before last week.

Burns looks a tempting end of season option

How many trades left?

How many mins will Joey Lussick get I wonder?

4 trades left which I have allowed for removing my parra players. I just didn’t plan on moving them on this early but I have screwed myself with my poor choice of reserves

Captaining not Cleary/Hynes just feels like negative EV. You're only 41 behind and have the team value advantage.

1st doesn't have Cleary but would think they will likely get him in.
