NRL Fantasy 2022 Part 12 - The first rule of trade club is, we only trade CTRs

While it's frustrating that we likely wont get to insert him into the 17, it would still be great for cash building, so here's hoping it happens regardless!

I meant more for bringing him into my team to ditch Russell but would be some good fortune for those who started with him

I can see Albert Kelly getting replaced at 6 sooner rather than later, one way or another.

Possibly/probably. None of the options at 6 are exactly world beaters atm. Ezra Mam will eventually get the 6 but he probably needs to harden up defense in Q Cup first.

If we start losing a bunch of games, then the questions probably come on the 9 and the 1. If Reynolds is doing his job then the 6 doesnt have too much responsibility.

Walters starting at 6 and moving to 9 in the 2nd half would be the ideal role for him.

for your fantasy team.

For fantasy purposes only. He’s shit

Thats the important role

Most of us on here are more interested in the success/failure of Matt's fantasy team than the Brisbane Broncos so who's being more relevant here?

Mentioned in Cleary poll thread, but might throw it here.

With SJ out injured, I am considering grabbing Tualagi (or even Tago?), instead of a higher priced replacement (eg Sexton), to build bank for Cleary in a few weeks.

Would leave me relying on Ilias or Coates this week (since Schneider is also out this week), but luckily they play first. (could switch Hynes from wfb to hlf depending on Ilias/Coates score).

Thoughts?

It is probably at the cost of around 10 to 15 pts per week if Tualagi is a low 40's scorer (i feel like his match fitness improves) and Sexton is a low 50's, possibly. Sexton does look a guy who could bust out an 80pt game though.

I did like the look of Sexton in the first half last week. Looks a gun footy player.

But I had Sexton paired with DCE last week, then just b4 Tigers game kicked off I switched Sexton to Hastings. After Sexton being one of my first 3 picked all preseason. Anyway, had my eye on Hastings all game and aside from yeah it being the Storm, Hastings looked very slow (not sure if releaxed), he went for gaps every now and then and was shutdown but I don't know if the speed is there to catch any team out. At the moment I'm trading str8 out, this could be reactionary but it allows me to fix up Russell's omission and a keeper centre.

Do u need his 440k to do trades elsewhere ?

Don’t really need the cash to make trades this week so think I might give him one more week then punt him if he doesn’t look any better.

Only trade I’m making this week is Billy Smith to Harry Grant. After Cheese’s injury last week I downgraded DFifi to Fermor to free up the cash for it this week seeing as I didn’t have any hooker cover in original team. Pretty happy with how team is looking now other than Hastings/Ilias but willing to give them both this week and then see where to go.

Can you not sell Sexton for Cleary when you are ready for that trade?

For sure. I mean, could be anyone depending on how things look in a few weeks time.

Guess the tuilagi/tago strat is more about building cash in the short term for the longer term gain. (All things being equal)

I think it's a solid plan mate if you can swing it.

If your expectation from Sexton comes true he will make similar amount of cash to Tago/Tuilagi and giving you more points for overall.

Yeah reasonable point, obviously if he smashes out some big scores and i didnt grab him, then i'm sad.

Leaving (bulk) cash in the bank is not a way i'd normally play the game.

On the Sexton point... If the Titans start clicking and he starts busting out 55-60 points games, do you really want to sell him? Could be a 45 floor 70+ ceiling type of player, and perfect partner to Cleary. There will always be injuries, suspensions, etc. that will force our hands with trades, while it is good to have a plan to get Cleary, there could be a clearer path down the line.

I think plans for Cleary that involve leaving cash in the bank for multiple weeks are not ideal.

The opportunity cost is obvious (points foregone), but I feel like they'll inevitably be 1-2 players that end up busts (injury/form etc.) and just make it easier for everyone else to bridge to Cleary anyway.

I am aware this sounds very much like leaving it up to fate though and could also backfire spectacularly. Like I'll have to sell Haas or something.

Ultimately I agree, which is why I made the post. Not the way I'd normally play the game so I thought i'd put it up for ideas.

Can't plan too much in the future in fantasy. Bye round planning almost always falls apart.
