NRL Fantasy 2023 Part 19 - Doueihi or Don't he

He's shit.

But , but scores fairly well in fantasy. If he keeps the role will make cahs and provide decent points 35-45

Investigating his previous stats this is the conclusion I came to

He never sticks around long enough mate

Kafusi will be back in either 0-4 games. Which is likely to impact his role.

Doesn’t sound any less risky than other options around the same price mark, I.e timoko. I’d still rather fork out a bit more for hammer, bird, penis.

I’d like to think I understand what all the fuss is about, but, for me getting him now digs into the Hynes funds and the “cows” I do have ain’t producing. On the other hand, i passed on HTF and am currently playing Alamoti and centre roulette with ITT and HSS.

If I do bring in null squared, it leaves me with $189k which feels like I’d be making minimum of one trade a week until I can afford Hynes. I do, however, like the look of my centre pairings of Alamoti/Lemuelu if I do this.

What’s the chances Doueihi gets WFB DPP

Would be nice to pick back up if Tigers are better down the track

If he's still FB after Rd 6 he will get it. They got rid of minimum number of games starting a few seasons ago

Torn my pec start of march, bruise from shoulder to wrist, still have brusing on forearm and bicep.

So they do hang around sometimes

Bone bruise if that was the injury much longer

One of the podcasts said that the NRL physio reckoned he had Turf Toe. I don't know what that is but it sounds gross.

Brooks has hung around ten years. If there’s a club where he gets an extended chance it’s the tigers.

If I get Lemuelu it’s to play in my 14-17

So Doueihi could get a good score this week, but if hes named at fb again next week, then what? He doesnt average well enough at fb to be worth keeping at 750k and his BE right now is 75ish. It pays off for one week and youre still stuck with the same problem, but hes lost cash.

Yep, definitely take all y'all points for sure, and I share the exact same concerns.

But taking everything into consideration, I actually don't think the Tigers, with the squad they have, can possibly keep being so putrid. I do believe it will click, hopefully for their sakes, sooner rather than later. And if that happens, I kind of want to know where Doueihi fits in that picture. Will they click because of Wakeham? Is this codswallop about Doueihi filling in at FB while Laurie gets back to full fitness just codswallop, or is there a world where they play like this this week, and then Laurie is back at FB next week and Doueihi is back in the halves? I just can't see him being at FB for very long, personally. But then does the other scenario come into contention, where he ends up at CTR?

I dunno, I really don't. I could move him onto one of those in-betweeners like SJ or Arey, or I could ride it out, hope he somehow doesn't lose too much, and try and go straight for Hynes if other stars align.

If I was hellbent on another HLF, I'd do it. I don't dislike SJ or Arey, but I'm also not 100% sold on them either.

To be completely open, I have contemplated Doueihi to TMM, for some money making and cash in the bank for Hynes asap. But I don't love that either as I'd need to play TMM in my 17.

Many thoughts will cross through this vacant landscape that is my mind over the next couple of days.

Is that sensible? Having dual positions really helps

I missed a heap of Forum pages, pretty busy in my house ATM.
Any update on Cotter's injury? 1 week or longer?
If he's out for any more than 2 I think I'll have to keep Douehi and use Cotter to get Chin back in.

Scratch that idea, hadn't realised that Cotter was cheaper than Doohickey.
Maybe, I should just roll the dice and swap Cotter for Carrigan?

Thoughts.

TU - Keep Douehi as Hlf and use Cotter to get Carrigan
TD - Sell Douehi, hold Cotter for looping and get Johnson as Hlf

That's interesting. I hold Kenny and need a mid with Cotter surfing the meniscus wave. What's the repelling factor with Joe?

A combination of his low minutes and reluctance for the attacking stats are frustrating me. He’s turned into something of a workhorse which still makes him a gun. Im sure he will eventually bust out a 90, probably this week because I am selling- so I wouldn’t talk you out of him. Its really just the best way to rebalance my team specifically. I also have Haas and Carrigan at MID, yet im playing Boyd at hooker with no backup and my halves are Cleary/Trindall/Katoa- so I desperately need a half and a hooker. Im flirting with bringing in SJ as the value pick, but Tapine>Kenny lets me do Doorey>Hynes

Apologies for grabbing you with the sexy headline.

I’ve seen a few posts regarding terrible 18-21s, so thought I’d throw this out there….
17. HSS
18. Doorey
19. Trindall
20. BMM
21. Teddy

…take whatever score I get from Shields, or set up a loop?

It's just hyperextended toe but can hang around for a while

Have exact same and say many do

Thinking about doing something similar moving Wayde Egan on instead. Doueihi+Egan ->Hynes+Lemuelu. Leaves me playing Boyd at hooker this round but 180k in the bank to fund Trindall to Brailey next week once Boyd has the bye. I'm a little worried about missing SJ and Turbo (could get them this week instead) though.

Updated team, 163k in bank
