NRL Fantasy 2023 Part 76 - If you don't use trades now, then it's like you have 0 left already

Haha yeah got the 73 in my first week of ownership. Cheese looking like an absolute dud of a trade thouhh

He’ll probably be priced what he was at the start of this year, for next year

And we’ll all convince ourselves as he’s a buy with DPP and knowing what the upside CAN be

he will almost certainly be fully fit and training the house down though

Cheese quote in January 2024 - "I'm really looking forward to this season. Last year was my first year with the Roosters and I struggled. I couldn't get myself fit, and I had trouble adjusting to the Roosters style of play. This year feels different. The body is good. I feel like myself and the halves are really building up those combinations. I've had a chat to Robbo and we want me to be on the field for 80 most weeks. It's a big year for my career"

Alternative is wait a week (0 trades)
Or go JdB to Haas via Hands to shitto (2 trades)

So indecisive. I think pushing to get DCE last week when I didn’t really have to and his subsequent two scores has got me shook

So many 50/50 calls, it's the time of the season to have some fun, unless you're within shot of the top overall or h2h. I brought in Johnston last week in WFB as I like the bunnies draw but wanted to zig instead of zag (i.e. not get mitchel).

If I was going to get a mid this week I'd be looking at someone like sorenson.

Joey Lussick should be good for atleast 60min hey, doesn't Hopgood jump into dummy half at times ?

I’m hoping Lemuelu doesn’t play so I can get Manus score in 18 then trade JDB to Yeo or AFB

From Broncos site:
"Reynolds has groin tightness and Hetherington has a back cork, with Coach Kevin Walters not willing to risk either player at this stage of the season."

He's been fairly injury free this year hasn't he? Will be interesting to see how they go without him

Arguably Cowboys favourites now

I am a little hesitant on Drinkwater to Latrell with no Reynolds. Last time Madden played we looked terrible.

Probably need 70+ minutes from Haas now, right, right?

Haas might need to take over general play kicking too, and take conversions

I was thinking Carrigan to slot into 7 after spending some time outside Reynolds the last few weeks. Couple of TA's and FDO's, easy

Haas can kick goals, sure.

Grant
Haas, AFB, Horsburgh
Fifita, Nikora
Cleary, DCE
Gagai, Ramien
Drinkwater, Bula, Ponga

Johnson, Hynes, Hopgood, Robson

Manu, Talau, Colquhoun, Graham

Who do you leave out to get Manu's score?

Ramien is the obvious choice, just wanting to confirm or if people see something I don't

Maybe left field, but Nikora?

Ramien

Lol, forgot about DPP red dots but yes, obviously one of these. Ramien, probably.

I’m off work tomrrow and Saturday.

I feel awful. So so weak, dizzy, headache, ear ache, body aches, sore sore throat, hot and cold chills. It’s a struggle when I’m standing I can’t stand for more than 2mins

I’m in bed but can’t sleep

Good thing you’re quadruple vaccinated and wear a mask

Left field it is. What's your thoughts behind that?

Without Arey in the past, the broncos have been like a kid who's lost his mum at the Ekka.

hey guys, need some opinions!!

3 trades left but no mid cover if I don't trade JDB out. so he's goneskis. rank going solidly, from 5k a few weeks ago to inside the top 1900 now!!

Never had Horse so thinking he's the man, although it blows all my cash in the bank and would leave me down to $4k. I have a very strong 17 but EMG isn't amazing, just Avo with Smith/H.Edwards/Skelton all at close to redundant level for the min.

Other option is going to be AFB, leaving me with a healthier bank to use the final 2 trades, but bit concerned with his mins/scoring once Jazz is back in the team as per the superb posts I've read in this wonderful place on exactly this subject...

So with this in mind, what are your thoughts:

TU: Horse
TD: AFB

Thank you!
