NRL Fantasy 2023 Part 28 - Eels in crisis, no minutes for gun cheapies

Messed around with numbers and could do:
Hopgood to Hosking
Trindall to cheapie (AKP/Sele/KNiko)

HSS to Teddy in 1 trade in R8 after 1 price drop 

Really unsure about the Hopgood/Carty situation but honestly that combination of trades (especially the last one) is rather arousing

I think Welch out of those for me mate

Carty a hold likely to still play 80, and Loiero prob eek some more cash to trade by R9

Welch will probably crash over for a try

I dont think Carty plays 80 tbh, but id rather hold and see. I think Matto probably spends some time on edge

Don’t think there is too much harm in holding for a week. 

Welch does worry me though, that bye coming up could be end of the road

Yeah with four storm players its as good a time as any to move one on

Hopgood + Kenny + cash ITB = Mitchell + Turbo, $0k ITb. Also have Teddy. It's a dream backline for me and I can't resist.

This week basically has no bearing on Parra Mid rotation, that’s the scary thing. Paulo will be back next week and it’s not until then we will get a genuine look at what their rotation will look like. If I’m being honest it doesn’t look good for Hopgood.

What will you do at WFB over Origin period?

Welch, Warbrick, Loiero, Katoa for me. Interesting to see how Katoa/Loiero go with the spine back together again. 

Edit: not too flash in week one but could have been first game jitters

What do you make of Hosking? Think he locks down the spot?

Was hoping Martin and Garner would both be back this week so we could see, it's a tricky one now with a big chunk of his cash made last week.

Although if I'm trading Hopgood I really need a mid not an edge anyway so not much of an option for me.

Worry about it in a few weeks time mate

Could work the other way, may have Matto lined up for EDG, but can't do that until Paulo is back. For now it gives them a chance to rest an over-worked young player in his first season with a huge role.

Yeah bit annoyed scenario didn’t change from last week, was hoping at least Martin was going to be back.

I thought he was running really good lines last week and may have done enough to secure spot (so is still a good pick up). Alternatively for me is a gun WFB. 

There was a good comparison mentioned with 2021 Burton where he took Momirovski spot after suspension and form kept his spot for rest of year.

Think I’m just going to do Sutton to Niko this week. Put some money away and hope Niko has a decent month

Burton is a much better player that Momo though. I’m not sure Hosking holds a candle to Martin and possibly Garner except for in a fantasy game

Great question. I have Talau and TMM. Will try to get another WFB/CTR cheapie. Re-jig my centre plans and voila!

Seriously, it's tough to resist having those 3 at the same time. I think I'd prefer to have them when they play and take zeros if I can't cover them. They still play a lot of games.

Also, it's nice to be excited about having top tier guns.

I'm going to stick solid with

Mahoney and hopgood
                To
Brandon Smith and j king

Gives me 300k itb to upgrade to upgrade Hosking Carty or uto depending on how the cards fall one of them will probably turn into Robson

Is Cheese a cow at 477k or just good value? Completely forgot about him?

Obviously not taking Martin spot. It’s Hosking v Garner

At the time Burton was a pure HLF filling in at CTR and then just kept showing up

Probably the cheapest he is going to get had a rough start to the year but surely Is going to rise in price at some point.
