NRL Fantasy 2023 Part 2 - What's the magic number ?

Twal is a slug and given how Sheens wants to play more attacking footy, I can see Twal being on the outer. Uto looked hungry in that trial and as long as he starts, I think he's an easy pick.

Worst case none of the Tigers cheapie forwards are relevant and I just bring AKP back and hope he doesn't get dropped (and move Luke or Gennings up into my 17).

There's also Siua Wong who (as long as Crichton is out if that mail is legit) is almost guaranteed a start on the edge given that Egan Butcher would get the other edge and Nat has been training middle.

He is the kind of player that tends to take a back seat, until he is reallly needed, which is what is required from him this season.

Sometimes I think you just pick a player you like/don’t like and make up the argument to suit from there.

Its reading a bit much into "we want to play attacking footy" comments in pre season to leap to "twal is on the outer". Lol. Maybe he is though, i dont know, but teams still need to make tackles and run the hard yards.

Every team 'wants to play attacking footy'.

The other player out of the Warriors trial who could be a dead set fantasy weapon if he has a break out year is Edward Kosi... he ran like a prop at speed and looked very hard to tackle. If he is getting better service from the HLFs could be the next Talakai (albiet on the WNG)

I can't recall ever having Hughes in my team. If Munster isn't 100%, if Hughes doesn't step up, Storm aren't winning many games.

yeah Hughes Hastings Burton similar price point, does no Pap injured Munster make Hughes better or worse?

So Miller, CNK and Hammertime seem risky on that basis.

But I'll put them all in my team and live to regret it.
