NRL Fantasy 2023 Part 6 - We're getting the Carty Party back together

GreenSchist wrote:Have finally settled on a team I am happy with. I may be deluded but the hope is that I won't tinker anymore unless more news comes out about roles/injuries.

Grant
Tapine, Hass, Carrigan
Fifita, E.Butcher
Doueihi, Boyd
Alamoti, Thompson
Warbrick, Miller, Talau

Cheese, Hopgood, E.Katoa, Ford
Preston, Trindall, I.Katoa, HSS

Yes, I am ridiculously cheap and shallow in the backs but I can't get past the security and high scoring potential of my MID/EDG. Fifita looks fit and ready to go. Love the idea of having him as a POD.
No Cleary, Murry or Cook so I will be Captaining one of Grant or Haas...
HSS in Emergency as WFB/Ctr cover (via Talau and Thompson). Keen to see how these guys play out. Happy to drop Thompson/Miller after 1-2 weeks if they look like duds and there is a cheaper option available.
This will also help with my eventual plan of bringing in Cleary or Hynes (injury dependent) for Doueihi for Rd 4 (after Panthers bye).
Bank Trindall once Hynes returns (fingers crossed it's more 3-4 weeks - calves are niggly)!
That along with my other cash outs will hopefully allow me to bring in Turbo shortly after the Manly bye.
Then set and forget until SOO and ride the cashies!!  

Sounds great in theory, never gonna be that easy but im happy with the risk reward strategy.

Another option could be to downgrade Grant to Hodgson to free up cash but I honestly don't know much about Hodgson (other than that he's old/older and returning from injury).
Any thoughts or insights into why the Eels Hooker might be a good option as a cashie and low end gun?

Trindall is a waste outside your 17. You are looking for free points for a short time and cash upside.

Trindall only gets 1 week at Half right? or is Hynes injury more serious?

Awesome lists.

Largely agree, somehow have Ford but trying to back it out.

Who are your starting WFBs and cover for Turbo?

With the addition of Foran, Boyd there to feed him as well with AJ again, and a contract year.. gut feel is screaming get him in

Not sure why you’d plan to sell Doueihi for Cleary/Hynes given 60 average at 5/8
Would be better off planning EButcher maybe to time with bye

First draft had him in but can't really do it.....definitely a target once one of those mid rangers starts to peak (and the Titans bye has passed)

King Assassin wrote:I currently have I.Katoa in my 18-21, I have Boyd on the bench so I'm not desperate for half cover. I also have 108k ITB.
Which is my best option?
a) Upgrade Katoa to a a close to base price forward (Blore, Saulo, Keppie)
b) Run with Katoa and bank the cash
c) Run with Katoa and upgrade Wilton or Garner to Eutcher
d)Upgrade Katoa to TMM (who might not even score more but it slightly safer)
