NRL Fantasy 2023 Part 32 - All trade in's must have a full set of teeth

Managed to find some trades I'm happy with.

Perham > Nikorima
Alamoti > Bird

Both Bulldogs have been spectacular cows.

Alamoti $192k
Perham $159k

Got no-one to loop, and need to play 2 out of this rabble:

Couchman, Alamoti, Warbrick, iKatoa, kNik, AKP

Anyone got some good tips on which nufties are going to have a blinder?

Nikorima was a risk to bring in last week, with Milf due back soon, has since scored badly and a higher risk by 1 week. Katoa got all the kicking, which those that bought Nikorima were counting on a fair share of.

I like Warbrick up against Manly's edge and Alamoti should definitely bounce back a bunch this week.

I'd say Alamoti and iKatoa are your saftest bets of that lot but the exciting option with a 15-60 point swing is Warbrick instead of katoa

That is the problem with bringing in a Couchman if your 14-17 is weak.

I'm interested. What's the Sele situation? Only 31 mins last week. I might keep Doorey as loop this week and get neither

When you say "only 31 mins", that's more than normal.  History attached.  Only 16% of games has he played more than 40 mins.

Sele:

Adding Sele to earlier table

Compare:

If IKatoa continues to get bulk kick metres like he did last week, then that at least offers some sort of base you can depend on.

I believe Manly aren't great defensively on Warbrick's edge, so he is a potential shout too, but I'd probably go Alamoti or Couchman

Well personally I don't trust Couchman all that much, everyone seems to be extrapolating a lot from 1 big game last week. But if you don't trust him enough to play over AKP/KNik etc, then why are you trading him in?

I swapped my trades went
Hopgood - cleary
Bmm - crossland
Hymel - couchman

Will have to play couchman as a starting frf this week and will fix next week. Think it's worth it getting rid of bmm and hymel

Currently sitting on JMK/Sele in for Brailey/Trindall.

Both playing tonight so hopefully sets a good tone for the rest of the week.

I missed that news about Milford coming back, but read a lot of talk on here about disappointed buyers. On casualty ward Milford is listed as indefinite, so figured Niko's a decent chance of minutes and improved combinations with Katoa.

I don't have to trade and Niko certainly doesn't strengthen my 14-21. No options seem ideal. Couchman is a bench player, Hunt has a high BE and Crossland is supposedly sharing minutes with Mann. Stone??

Tough trade week.

How hard would it be for them to make the platform allow us to process 3 trades at a time, it's killing me inside slowly!

So from what I can tell based on this week's trades, BMM is due for a barnstorming try and 50 points

Agree with this, Kniko my third choice I guess

Tough trade week.

Even if you ignore Milf, as matt said people that traded in KNik were doing so on the assumption he'd do a fair bit of kicking, but he's doing basically none.
That said his score was tracking acceptably last week until he got binned, so if I did hold him I wouldn't panic too much. But I wouldn't be that interested in trading him in this week.

No red dots for me this week so I've got to leave one of these three on the bench Smith, Boyd, Alamoti.

Currently on Alamoti but having second thoughts

This week kind of feels like a stay away from the cheapies week. Would be nice to be in the position to gun up

Makes sense that

It's irrelevant whether I bring in Couchman - he came in for HSS.

Most people are playing Alamoti in their 13, so I'll take my weak bench as the downside of a strong starting side

I need Mid coverage, and at his pricepoint he's as good as any.
