NRL Fantasy 2022 Part 24 - Responsibility is not a good look for me

Talakai made about 300-350k from memory if u took the gamble. Prime money maker at the time.

Not if you bought him after his 100, which a lot of people did.

I bought him the week of his 100 for 559k and sold him four weeks later for 699k, so a 140k profit. You only made 350k if you bought him the week he moved to centre (round 4, for 355k)

Holzman wrote:after tearing apart my team for Hosking im looking into it more

he had 50 tackles (no MT)  and a try.

Everything went right for him.

If he dropped a 70 would we be tearing apart our teams for him? Thats putting his tackles back to 35 and adding a miss or 2 and still keeping the try.

Loiero who I was looking to drop for him put up a 56 without a Try.

Add in the JS issues.

If there is a obvious trade out to him I think its a good move but im really cooling on making 2 moves to get him or moving out guys like Bird etc... to force it to happen.

Saving cash to bring in Hynes would be the better move as he could really hurt you.

I don't see Hynes hurting too many people this early. Definitely a good POD for lower ranked teams tryna make a climb but the higher ranked teams are less likely to tear their teams apart just to get him.

Trades made -

Bird - Lemmy
Trindall - Hoskings

Looking to hold trades now. Already saved one. Will be looking at buffing up the WFB once some cows have matured.

Rank: 764

Team for the weekend.

Cook
Murray Haas Tapine
Katoa Hosking
(C)leary Johnson
Lemmy Alamoti
Perham Miller Warbrick

Hopgood Carty Preston Ford
Keppie Katoa HSS BMM

That is a pretty tasty looking team

For me it’s between Ford and Hosking, and Ford has no questions about job security and is 160k cheaper

If I had a third trade though, I’d 100% get Hosking

This is exactly where I am at. I would have to forego Cleary and Ford to get Hosking, and word is Liam Martin is just given 1 extra week with Hosking covering him.

It would seem bonkers that Hosking has not won an edge, but I.Cleary isn't a fantasy player.

There will be loyalty and pecking order involved, as well as salary considerations.

I am also concerned re Salmon still being in the mix from the bench too.

I think it is a gamble going for Hosking, he is already 541k, he could make 150k+ easily, but I know if Ford keeps playing he could make 350k.

I can always slide across to Hosking a bit later as an underpriced keeper in the 600s if it turns out he has won a start and has JS.

Wouldn't Sorensen be more likely to make way for Martin? I thought they loved him off the bench. I also find it hard to believe that Garner has established himself too much higher than Hosking in the "pecking order" this early

I definitely see the merit in waiting a week though

I'm buying him because I want money but devil's advocate says that we said the same thing about Talakai last year and look how that turned out.

Pretty well, no?

If you bought Talakai the week after his hundred and sold at his peak price three weeks later, you made 174k.

If that's the worst case scenario for Hosking I'd be pretty happy.

Also kinda reminds me of Hynes in 2021. Pumped out 101 in R11 but there was some conjecture about JS/when Pap was due back. Then followed it up with a 90 the following week and before you knew it he'd made 150k in 2 weeks. If you got on after the 100 at 568k, you could ride him up to a peak price of 744k in R19.

To’o to Hosking

TU:Yup
TD:Nup

Talakai was 676k the week after he got the 100, then peaked at 733k two weeks later.

If you bought after his 100, at best you made 57k and got scores of 30 and 40 for the cost of 2 trades

With the low BE Hosking is likely now or never. Another decent score that would make you still want him, and he is over $600k next week.

little dramatic haha. I'm sure people will be willing to pay a tick over 600k if he pumps out an all base 55-60 and secures an edge spot

Some observation is that trades are relevant to your team alone so advice could be skewed from their own pov

Everything has context and what might rank one player above in your scale may be less relevant to another down to (affordability/cover/injury replacement/depth/already have)

Have seen ford v hosking discussed for 2 days so much but they are completely different propositions, not to mention most have ford already
And I took both host and Lawrie that year and both kings last year

Just relax and have fun with your trades, you get 2 more next week
Will even throw another one in after that to make 3

pressuring people to make trades is fun though

Yeah probably, I like that the Tigers have Simpkin and To'a on the bench though, could mean an extra 10mins for Uto. Klemmer and/or Twal could snap them up though too

Sorensen is now seen more middle cover from the bench, and is only required because both Martin and Garner are recovering.

I agree Hosking is a no-brainer and I would play him and Martin, but I am not yet convinced I.Cleary sees it that way.

Oops, I misread the prices, thought he was 576k that week.

As you were
