NRL Fantasy 2023 Part 77 - The Oprah Round

I agree trade balance (44 overall, 8 held back) is good. Don't know if you need the 2,3,4 escalation or if the timing/balance is correct but I'm pretty indifferent

Gonna have to reverse my Zac trade.

everything is coming up Latrell banner

Matterson owners dodged a bullet with his hip drop on Bird.

Not enough shitposting.

What if instead of points/salary cap you randomly lose the ability to trade in players from one team.

Buy the trade and now I can't bring Cleary in anyway because Panthers are invalid in my squad. That would be hilarious.

Less than a hour til a TLT that potentially ends my season (1 trade, 2 cowboys, 1 Talau, 1 Harrison Graham, 1 Jesse Colquhoun)

Even better would be if you actually didn't get to choose the player other than nominate the position

Grant goes down so you 'buy a trade' and it chooses a random HKR for you based on that week's teamlists

Been avoiding getting players with still a bye to come but a straight Drinkwater to Latrell trade is mighty tempting.

Hard to see Colq getting back in after the Sharks had a good win.

Or you could get 1 extra emergency trade if you don't have any trades left, but the cost is not getting Captaincy points for the round in which you make the trade.

or the cost of the extra trade could be, paying double the cost for the player you trade in.

The results for Round 23 of Fantasy Fantasy are posted and can be found over here

Anyone see the Brandon, Sandon & Hutch love in becoming a game of roulette with Robbo as to who gets the 80 min each week ?

Looks like a knockout victory for Campbell

Rapana at FB is a luxury trade i'd love to make now he's got the spot for the rest of the year

Hands being named is a bit annoying as he'll hemorrage cash, but being my only HOK cover for Grant I feel obliged to hold..

Hands named on the bench.. annoying. Prefer him as a red dot. Will lose cash but no point wasting a trade there.

Skelton not named at all. Good for naughty stuff.

LB will be pleased to know that there's a Queensland team that has sent their hooker off for surgery to fix their ongoing shoulder issues

Jeremy Marshall-King Sam Verrills gone for the year

No trades for me.

If Seb Kris isn't back I'll need a trade to cover Penisini bye, so any potential trade has to at least overcome what I'll lose by playing with 16 in R27

He was FB in 2022 for a 26 and 30 in full 80 minute games.

Do know he went huge in 2021 with a 64 average.

he could be a interesting play though.

I was going to go

1. Kris Edwards to Latrell 250k or
2. Kris Ipap to SJ 250k

but then I have a trash bench and I'm down to 2 trades with Haas, Murray and Latrell or Hass Murray.

3. Kris to Rapana and leave 3 trades and have Rapana as my cover (looping with Edwards) could be the play.

That might be the most boring TLT in the history of the long awaited TLT

None for me either. Hate these weeks.

Will head over to VSDT instead to sate my trading addiction.
