NRL Fantasy 2023 Part 35 - Man U need to consider Joseph now

Should I put IKatoa in the loop or Host?

Leaning towards Ikatoa at the moment...

Thinking either no trades this week or maaaybe just Carty to Manu/Crossland depending on Eels late changes and how frisky I'm feeling after the Chins effort tonight

Why would he get HOK named after Rd 6 updates?
I think possible trap unless PongaYTM says otherwise.

Go with Host so that I have someone to celebrate with if he does well

Or rage with if he does bad

Spoiler:

I really don't need to trade at all this week, but I can't help but be incredibly tempted by Katoa + Alamoti to Manu + Host.

It does feel a bit like trading for the sake of it though. The kind of luxury trades where I look back and wish I'd just held come round 22.

Thoughts?

TU: Worth it
TD: Just hold the damn trades

All depends on how much David Fifita will be running at IKatoa
Kaufusi might do an ok job protecting him though

I would go Host

I think crossland has played well this season, reckon the HOK spot is his for the rest of the season. wont play 80 mins but can see him playing 60-70.
Who else is a threat to his spot?

I prefer him over Host for an extra 25k, as someone mentioned yesterday Host is a plodder.. will make max $100k

I reckon best case Host averages 40 and worst case Crossland averages 40

Mann at 13 and Gamble at 14 I think 60 minutes would be the most he`d get

Loiero is also a plod king and he's gone from 389k to 552k and still growing

Never know if a plodder scores a try or gets an attacking stat to get the cash flowing

I could be completely wrong and Host is a bust, but yolo

Yes but Loiero plays 80 mins and Host doesnt,
Agree Host would be good value if he was playing 80 mins

Crossland has played hooker twice this season for 72 and 68 mins, its fair to assume those mins might stay the same.

Gamble might spell Mann at lock and crossland at hooker, Mann aint playing 80 mins at lock

Pairing Dunster with Talau in my emergencies seems like a bad idea

I'll still probably do it

If I was to make it down for one this year, would have to be mid to late August, since I've decided to piss off to Europe for a month in July.

Don't know what games look like around that time.

EDIT

Saturday 12th August - Roosters vs Dolphins @ Allianz

or

Friday 18th August - Eels vs Roosters @ Commbank
Saturday 19th August - Tigers v Dolphins @ Commbank

or

Saturday 26th August - Roosters vs Tigers @ Allianz - this one looks pretty good ?

Itd be pretty rude of us to make anyone pay to watch the tigers. I try to avoid it when it’s free

I mentioned it before, but the Knights do have a back-up Hooker in the NSW cup who is just coming back from a hamstring injury,  he's played the last 3 games and is being eased back in mins wise.
I don't expect him to challenge Crossland for the next month or so, but is probably an option later this season

Temple Kalepo is his name

Just realised I could do Warbrick and Alamoti to Manu and someone sub 280k (Bula, Dunster, Skelton, Oloapu)

The cheapies don't inspire, but it's an upgrade in the CTRs without impacting any other starters.

Fk sorry I've made a mistake here. I meant who should I play as my 16th man between Host and Katoa then the other one goes into the loop.

Cheers for the help lads

Been a crazy busy week, haven't even looked at fantasy. Probably going to just make one trade Warbrick > Manu.

If Carty is benched again, might go him to Cotter or Bateman or something.

Hope all is well for y'all - six can Thursday will be in full effect tonight
