NRL Fantasy 2023 Part 35 - Man U need to consider Joseph now

I've got too many other origin players I have to decide whether to hold - Cook, Haas, Cleary, Latrell, Teddy, Turbo. Potentially HTF or Gilbert if things don't go my way with selections.

Carrigan is interchangable with any number of non-origin players.

I have a similar problem, got Cook, Haas, Murray, Fifita and Cleary plus Hammer and Walsh who are decent chances of making it.

My current plan is to sell Murray for Tohu/Matto/Tapine and Walsh for whichever fullback seems like they're gonna do well (hoping Walsh can avoid Origin I and that Papy can get back to full flight by round 16)

So is Host a goer?

I think so...mins watch though

2 backs on the bench is a Sheens special (or was 15 years ago) so it is possible he'll do it again

Wonder if he'll ever copy Bellamy/Robinson and drop an under performing halfback

Talau and Laurie on the bench too haha

Big Tommy into the Mid rotation

Bula just got added, couldn’t find him 30 minutes ago

Anyone else held Talau this whole time like me?

At least he's back, no idea what's going on with that bench though.

Wakeham express is back up and running

Tickets please!!!

Interesting TLT

I'm interested in Jack Gosiewski, but that's partly because I need cash

Where is Luki?

BMM straight back in

At least we know he can't play 80 which might mean 5 more mins for the Couch

Hamstring couple of weeks ago, think he’s due back R11

Also speaking as a previous Gosiewski sufferer, don’t do it to yourself

Bula as a cash out for long suffering HSS owners is a no brainer yeah?

An older article but

Tigers coach Tim Sheens has tipped young gun Jahream Bula to challenge for the No.1 jersey in a three-way battle with incumbent Daine Laurie and star recruit Charlie Staines.

The Sydney Morning Herald reported Sheens believes Bula can leapfrog Laurie, who has also been training in the halves and Staines, who is also being considered as a winger at some stage during the 2023 season.

“Jahream Bula will be a kid who comes out of nowhere,” Sheens told The Herald.

“Daine has been training at halfback and fullback, ‘Stainesy’ at fullback and wing, but this kid has been playing fullback all year in the second team. And he has been the best trainer at the club.

“I’m not afraid to throw blokes in, and if they’re good enough they’re old enough.”

I think you're right. This kind of aligns with the rumours a few rounds back that brooks was going to be dropped, but then something happened and he was named.

Laurie definitely isn't the answer but fark moi.

Bench looks good for JDB too

I would normally advise against owning Tigers players but if it means you can get rid of HSS, go ahead.

Just don't be surprised if this is a Zac Cini moment

I'm personally staying away from a Fullback on debut at literally the worst club this year

He could be gone next week for all we know
