NRL Fantasy 2023 Part 73 - 98% Stand and Applaud

Im leaning McInnes over Murray just slightly.  Murray will more than likely outscore him but no more byes for McInnes and not many big minute forwards on the bench.  Plus I doubt Graham goes 80 on the edge against Penrith.

I will add Murray kinda screwed me this year.

Sounds like a decent plan. Tough call, No guarantee BS9 is an upgrade over Bula, and he's so injury prone. I mean he should be an upgrade.

Thanks mate. Yeah my thoughts exactly on Brandon vs Bula. Hopefully Brooks can get Bula more involved again. Feel there will be a more obvious trade coming up that nets 50-100 points rather than maybe a 5ish point upgrade over 6 weeks. I traded Brandon early both times because of the injury risk, so would be kicking myself if it happened again.

I reckon the McInnes shout from Camo is a very nice option for NAS sellers if you have $40k laying around (Finucane out for rest of season)

Thanks for letting me know. I will immediately jump on the McInnes bandwagon bringing me to five Sharks players.

Sucks for Finucane. One of the most likeable players.

Only way I can get Cleary in is with 3 trades, yuck

Having to commit to Koula's score from the get go is pretty gross mate. Would def be inclined to bin NAS this week since you can't have a look. 

Cheese is a fine option but you could look at the likes of Koloa or Fitzgibbon instead? Doesn't help with hooker coverage though

Thanks, I'll have a look, haven't really thought too hard on it yet. The hooker coverage is appealing given I'll be down to two trades. You're right, committing to Koula's score is gross, but spending a trade if I don't have to if Koula jags a double is pretty gross too (Dragon's have conceded 54% of their tries down the left edge vs 28% right edge and 18% middle). Playing 15 in the final round is even grosser. But, like we both said, NAS is a trade anyway really. So will probs do that. Actually, can then loop Koula with someone else. Maybe Ramien. Yeah I like that.

What a coincidink.  The last time I saw @Krump he too fell asleep standing up, although that was much less library and a lot more liquor.

At least when you and I had beers Revs we pretended to act like upstanding citizens.

Make up your mind mate. Was I asleep upstanding or not?

Granted you were a citizen standing up, but in no way shape or form were you an upstanding citizen

I went Murray in the same position

I would have done this too, if I had 30 odd k.

Grant
Horse, Hopgood, JDB
Fifita, Bateman
Cleary, Hynes
Manu, Lemmy
Ponga, Teddy, Isaako

DCE, Nikora, Cheese, Tohu
Simmo, SJ, Graham, Colquhoun.

Simmo in the loop and will probably take a 35+ as opposed to trading Tohu to someone.
Or do I just do Tohu to Murray and leave Simo as 18th man for the week

Anything else stand out lads?

Trade Harris to Murray or McInnes.

After hearing McInnes tossed up I had a look and I can afford Moses/Hands to McInnes/Garrick.

If McInnes could average anything above 50 I think I could come out on top?

Actually, that's better I think.

I don’t mind this. The other option I don’t think I’ve seen thrown up is just hold fire if you can field a full 17 and wait for the inevitable injury/suspension to decide your trade outs for you

That was the plan until Lussick was named on the bench

Ok doing NAS to Murray, will have a look at Matto/Hands but unless they both go 50+ will also go Tohu to DCE

Assuming I make that 2nd trade, Team is

Grant
Hops JdB Horse
Fifi Papi
Cleary Hynes
Penis Lemu
Drink Teddy Ponga

Munster Murray DCE (SJ)
Matto Hands Kris Kiraz

Still 4 Eels but 4 trades left, and only other bye players are Kiraz (not in 17), Drink (hold) and Murray (hold) so not too fussed. Should I be fussed?

McInnes’ scoring whilst playing at lock without Finucane in the team

Would you do McInnes (Loiero in EMG) or Murray (Hands in EMG)

Surely the first? Liked owning Hands but makes sense to punt and avoids r27 bye issue too

I am quite fussed about my 4 parra players but tbf my depth is non-existent next to yours

I think it depends how often(if ever) you need Hands to cover you during byes. If he’s there as like extra cover and you don’t really need him then I’d go Murray. If you’re in my position where you’re relying heavily on that extra body then McInnes

Needs more halves.
