NRL Fantasy 2023 Part 15 - Cheese and Garlick Naan

I'd definitely like that too. Bench mid playing around 50 mins could be alright if it stays that way. Gives me SST at WFB vibes from his rookie season.

Surely he doesnt make the bench at full strength. Will be bad timing with Carty, Trindall also dropping out as options around the same time and any remaining Roosters on the bye.

Pretty sure he is playing EDG, with K Brom moving to MID

and I'm hoping if it happens, he's culled from the team lists 24hrs out.

The full-strength pack minus Havili (who's not back for ages) is as follows.

8. Tatola
9. Cook
10. T Burgess
11. Koloamatangi
12. Arrow
13. Murray
14. Taaffe
15. Sele
16. Shaq Mit/Moale/DSF
17. Host/Chee-Kam

I think there's a spot for at least one of Shaq and Moale on the bench until Havili gets back, and on form Shaq would be the one to get it.

Likely 5 less points a week, but saves $125k and likely better price increases through to round 13 when you trade to Hynes.

The real upside is that it would allow me to do Boyd to Bird next week in a single trade, with the extra $125k, which is a nice keeper upgrade, (I miss Walsh to do this). He is my only CTR target, not interested in the messy midrangers that can score just as badly as the guys you are replacing them with.

Bird started doing slapsies across the field last week and I instantly regretted not having him.

Fortunately Trindall and Carty are going to be entering the price point where they can be directly traded to players that can match them for scoring in the next couple of weeks. Makes replacing their output in the 17 much easier.

I don't really trust it, but it looks like he's going to absolutely dominate the KMs next to TMM, who has a grand total of 13 kick metres recorded over the first 2 games. Egan and CNK have 0 between them. Dylan Walker is the only other Warrior to register any KMs with 11.

Had a look at that but realise I'll be in the same position next couple of weeks when Trindall, Carty etc need to get moved on.....someone who needs to go but not enough cash to get the option you want.

Thinking about just taking the medicine now (and there's a chance it could work out fine)

More comfortable with an iffy back 5 member  

Plan has always been to let the cheap centres make a few $$ and then upgrade and it's progressing so I'll let it stew

One more week then it'll be clear who's the better buy between him and ARey imo

I think given the cash diff of 100K and both being 48-53 types, SJ edges it out for me.
