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

Give or take 5 minutes either way, Hopgood may only get 55-60 minutes, rather than 65, but still predicting 65, with Greig having a 15 minute first stint. He is the perfect guy to bring off early, to play Hopgood off the bench with big minutes.

Provided everything goes according to plan the NSW Origin and Test backrower is then expected to spend a fortnight or possibly more in NSW Cup before an NRL return is right on the cards.

Sorry if I don’t have as much time to share my thoughts as I did a couple of seasons ago but if I’m going to cop shit when I do post maybe I’ll just stay silent then

He's been as far from a trade as possible until this week, surely we give him the '3 date rule' especially with the bye's suiting him etc.

Carty also is getting a chance, I've max traded so far bar 1 and I imagine a few others have also... keep in mind this years 27 rounds and as of next round we can make 3 trades... we're all fiends and will race through them.

I concur. No major issues for Hopgood this week. Next week they might have a more stacked pack.

I have traded him because I want Cleary, who is a clear upgrade. Maybe I'll get Hopgood back over origin, but that is weeks away and plenty of time for things to happen before then.

This is exactly my reasoning for trading Hopgood out.
Might be a bit premature but atleast I have no regrets about bringing in Cleary.

Probably double trading regardless. May as well own both Dolphins halves. What could go wrong

12 months ago it was a similar situation, and the Tigers got their first win of the season. Pulled it out of nowhere

Don't think history will repeat, but as a Tigers fan, all I have is hope

which one should I play ITT or Alamoti??

Playing each other. Both have TBs in them. 50/50 coin toss.
C'mon crew someone sell me on a young centre. (The other sits in the corner EMGs)

I think the Tigers will come good at some stage this season when things click into place, no idea when that will be though.
It took the Bulldogs a bit of time last season
