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

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.

Yeah, a no trade week might just do the trick. I don't need to add any more duds.

Does anyone know when Milford is due back?

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

And a 60 for Hopgood.

They kept using TPJ in 3 stints last season to keep him on the park. I doubt his fitness is any better this year and the new coach is unlikely to buy into that craziness.

I reckon Ciraldo is much smarter than Barrett and will know how to have TPJ firing - Remember - he has got Mahoney to run off instead of Marshall King too. I really can see TPJ going into beast mode - he has got all the right ingredients for big scores.

He is older wiser and I hear he has been practising meditation

Currently on Alamoti but having second thoughts

Alamoti sounds right. Losing the Fox feels really bad for him.

I. Thompson to Couchman
BMM to S. Luke
Hopgood to Murray

Leaves 68k spare then can look at Warbrick to Russell and Loiero to Teddy next week thoughts?

He also has all the right ingredients for a 4 week suspension

Ok - so I've traded out Hopgood (before he bleeds too much cash) for Bird, looking to solidify my CTR (also have HTF). Means I've got no Mid cover so brought in Couchman.

Alternative I would consider is Hopgood to Gilbert, and just leave it at that for the week and see how Couchman/Sele plays out?

If Katoa and Nikorima are both kickers, why is it that one of them will be the dominant kicker? Is it Bennett's decision? Is it a strategic thing to do IRL?

Massive gripe of mine too and big tell that they arent interested in developing a better product, but instead just want to keep the wheels turning which sucks

Making a change like that would take more work than most people think with absolutely zero benefit of them spending the development time to do it. Nobody is stopping playing or starting playing because of that being a feature.

I know I'm thinking next week but would people think it's crazy trading sj for Harris if he plays 80 if the 100k helps you turn a middy into a gun ?

Nikorima hasn't really been a kicker historically, people just assumed he'd do a decent amount because Katoa had been doing a very small amount.

70 with a try in 55 mins. Matterson2022esque

SJ killing it and doesn't play origin, don't think there's any justified reason to trade him unless he reverts back to his old self.

Are you needing to play either Couchman or Luke in your 17 to afford Murray?

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:

You're on fire today
Post more!

Best option for players over 800k?

Don't like this at all

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.

Is this one of those games where I have to guess which one you own? because I have a feeling I know...
