NRL Fantasy 2023 Part 75 - Captaincy fails

Hynes will bounce back.

Probably be 90% (c) Cleary this week though

Up against Rob, might Chopgood vs Dragons..

I have a choice between Robson, WEgan, Brailey or Boyd from Hands for my final trade of the year - so cash is of no relevance. Robson's bye (and any injury) sub would either be Kris or Avo.

Who would you choose?

Egan from those for the attacking upside

Or Api

On this question, is it worth using your final trade to move on Hands? Or just run Grant and run the gauntlet, leaving Hands to rot in the EMG?

None. Hold the trade. Is he your starting hooker?

JDB to AFB feels very like for like. In more ways than one

I already have Avo, Kris, McGrady, and Piakura as EMG fodder. Given my position I think a risky move like this is necessary before Hands loses too much cash to make any meaningful moves.

JDB out for an extended period, no Kiraz or Lemuelu this week, forces my hand to bring in another CTR or WFB.
Might as well have fun and bring Marzhew into the team, Latrell is tempting, but will put pressure on the team's emergeny bench with the upcoming bye

Piakura should be back this week. Kris looking somewhat playable too in a pinch. You'll be kicking yourself if you use the trade and a gun goes down this week too.

Hmm a lot of 40s recently is concerning

McInnes feels very chasy too, doubt he plays 80 every week

It’s more the Warriors run home and hoping for a try or 7. Plenty of options though

All options feel meh at the moment to me;

Haas - Safe but couple of mid 50's plus a bye to come
Murray - Missed the big scores and still a buy. Probably still the best pick it trading down
Yeo - Does he get another week off before finals?
AFB - Purple patch over, as you say, a few 40's.
McInnes - Missed the big score, probably plays 50 minutes this week for 43 points. Seems a safeish option though
Horse (already own) - Would not be enticing after last week
Hop/Matto - Crucial round 27 bye
Tapine - I've already owned but seems safe for 45-50. Don't think I'd go him again though.
Carrigan - Decent option but bye to come.
Fotu - Scoring went back to normal this week
Harris - Won't be playing 80
Butcher - Nah, Roosters suck
Soro - Doesn't feel like for like. I think he gets a week off before finals too.

If I don't do the Hands trade it will leave me money to upgrade JDB to either Horse or Yeo. My only concern with Yeo is resting in round 27.

Yeah, grim

I only have 2 trades so can’t go up from JDB, probably AFB or McInnes… Tapine is interesting but I’d hate watching his minutes

Last trade I can either hold for emergency or upgrade Hands

I'd avoid AFB now that Jazz is back.

Check his mins this season when Jazz was there vs when he isn't.

Woweee 

Seems like the paranoia has well and truly set in.

its so I can loop Kris or upgrade him to another Center is Manu has another low one this week.

the question is do i loop Teddy or Manu.

I guess with Cheese and Nikora on bench I can trade JDB to any other position and move Hopgood into the 13. At least it’s an option

I'm going to try some sorcery to loop both their asses. Won't be able to, but I'll sure as hell try.

Has Kayal Iro played fullback in NSW cup? Has definitely played there for The Cooks.
Not quite August 1st yet so could they squeeze in a signing of one Lachie Miller?

Ideally for me if they sign Tommy Talau to play fullback it would solve some of my problems

If Manu's score is dire again then there might be a reactionary Hands trade to *someone cheap and nasty*
