NRL Fantasy 2023 Part 28 - Eels in crisis, no minutes for gun cheapies

That’s interesting

Wasn’t 100% on McInnes if only 3 weeks for Finucane but this makes the punt more appealing

I would think McInnes just moves to prop but Hazleton could get a go.

I would expect McInnes to play lock with Finucane suspended, and Finucane to go to prop on return.

McInnes has never started at prop.

Prop and lock are somewhat interchangeable, so it doesn't really matter, but McInnes probably has 60-70 mins in the middle nailed on now.

Yeah that's gold. McInnes a definite in next week for me at this stage.

The next 3 rounds you would think 60 minutes is likely. When Finucane is back though, probably 50-60 minutes.

Matt is right though, he won't be named at prop.

Mcinnes has a 65 BE

I need to fix my halves have Reynolds & Trindall but also have HSS and Talau stinking up the place.
I could play Boyd in the halves in the interim and go up to a gun half but need a cheapie.

Or I could punt Teddy & Trindall for a gun (may be SJ) and have $660K for someone else

Any help would be appreciated

Yeah pretty much. I'll probably wait until round 8 because I need to get Hynes in next week, and McInnes's BE of 65 means he won't go up much if at all next week.

How much cash have you got before trades?

Too many options coming up it seems.. Hynes, JBrailey, BSmith, McInnes, Harris.. Might be triple trading next 2 weeks and still won't get them all.

If Hopgood shits the bed this week then Hopgood to McInnes and pocketing 150k could be an option

With JMK's halves experience they might all swap around during the game.

Surely McInnes just goes back to the bench when Finucane comes back with Hunt/Kaufusi starting

Won't Finucane play prop when his back with McInnes playing lock ?

Doubt it, they did that for 3 weeks last year then moved McInnes back to to the bench for the remaining 6 games

Im not sure what the best play with teddy should be. Starting with teddy has definitely been a tough gig especially with cheapies like Perham and Sloan outscoring him.
I was going to hold no matter what but selling Teddy is my best play to get in Hosking. I thought about doing it last week but wasn't brave enough. If you need to sell Teddy to get in a gun half then that might be the best play

I reckon Royce Hunt is the beneficiary here, could be worth a look

I looked and his starting prop stats are horrible.

Not at the back end of the year they weren't
