NRL Fantasy 2023 Part 31 - So many trade out options, but no trade in ones

There aren't enough quality cows to round out the squad which will basically lock you into the squad you have now for the next 10 weeks with no cash gen and only sideways trades available

The exception to this is if you think both Cleary and Hynes are under priced

As things stand I think they are pretty close to appropriately priced (Hynes maybe a little over)

While you can only captain one of the two big hitters I think a combo of 2x 600k outscores Hynes/Cleary+Nuffie

Yep agree in general. Some teams might be able to make it work ok but for the vast majority I think it's spreading very thin

1. Trindall/Brailey/BMM  ---> Teddy/B.Smith/Weekes
2. Trindall/Brailey/Warbrick  ---> Teddy/B.Smith/Couchman
3. Trindall/Brailey/Alamoti  --> Teddy/Bird/Weekes

Essentially, its which of BMM, Alamoti and Warbrick am I giving the boot to; and which two of Bird, B.Smith, Weekes and Couchman I bring in.
Don't have the coin to go Teddy/Bird and Couchman.

I'm leaning towards options 1 and 2.
Weekes will be good to bring in around Origin, especially with the injury concerns surrounding Turbo and his likelihood to be managed around that time. Can't see him increasing too much over the next few weeks (Weekes?), even with the low BE.

Cheese looks to have bottomed out, so good time to bring him in - No PTSD from me as I never started with him. He gives me some much needed Hooker and Mid cover.

Bird I see as a CTR keeper and a must over Origin. Will bring him in pre Rd 13, hopefully around the $650ish price.

Couchman remains an unknown to me but the apparent increase in minutes and the low BE mean if I want him, I prob need to bring him in now to maximise cash gen.

I think its too early to bring in Weekes. I agree Weekes will be handy over origin but he's more of a rd 13 cash out. You're better off getting someone like Couchman who is going to make money over the next month or so and then cashing out to Weekes.
Unless Turbo gets injured then you can pull the trigger early.

Was all set to use Hopgood to buy Hynes.
But, my team balance needed an extra gun middle, so Murray comes in instead. (C)leary & Johnston are doing quite well in the halves ATM.

I have Weekes, expect Turbo will always be named and a week to week chance of not suiting up last minute, with no details of how long he will be out for.
