NRL Fantasy 2023 Part 39 - Host is still playable, right?

I'd be a lot more excited about Oloapu if he was named in the 22 (at least). As it stands he's an 18 year old wunderkind who hasn't been named to play but is getting a lot of buzz surrounding him in the socials.
I have no doubt he'll be a great mid-season cow once he gets the the 6 or 7 jumper, but Granville (and for me, Bula) are actually playing.

Oloapu is in the 22 (20 in fact)

Did you pick up Manu?
He's my VC choice.

Yeah, that's where I'm at as well

Keppie or Host to Horse... could go to Brandon Smith too, or bank more cash with Granny.

Keppie: Pro he still gets 25 off the bench, should get more if JTurbo and Olakau'atu make origin. Con Sipley is back stealing minutes off him for the time being, and Woods lurking around

Host: pro last week the game was super fast, and he was cooked early hence the rubbish stats... won't be like that again, so should improve. Con it's Host and he can be a bit of a plodder, got sucked in to trading him in last week.

Reads like Kennel forum. Most posters not big on rushing him and saying social media hype

Or just keep Host, hope he comes good, and save the trade?

That would be one trade you'd want back at the end of the year

E Katoa to Granville
Grant to Hynes
Wakeham to Cheese

Shithouse.

I do love a forum hot-take

Was trying to work out Raiders team going forward, and on the Greenhouse forum there seemed to be generally positive responses to the suggestion of moving Seb Kris to lock

They must all play NRLFF

DPP, great bye schedule, >$500k

Is Greig that bad as down grade for Hynes money instead of Granville? Slow burn in EMG plug in MID for 20pts in R13 looks safe job security wise

My bad. For some reason I thought he was in the Tigers system - vain hope that Sheens would turf Brooks for him.
Carry on. Yes, he is a chance then.

Harris to BSmith
Carty to Granville
Utoikamanu to Hynes

not sure it is worth it - undoubtedly I will wait at least until I see Granville's role this evening

I actually like the look of those trades,probably also cos I’m looking at bringing in the same 3 players although it means trading Grant

There is no way Greig should be in your 13 for R13 when there’s a plethora of MIDs for R13. There’s probably 10-15 better MIDs available

His only 30+ min games were with Paulo suspension but still only around 25 points

Do have my eye on Joseph Suaalii as a potential trade in for the future.

Break even of 52 and is losing cash quick. Talent is there and in the Roosters backline will hit a purple patch no doubt when they click into gear mid to end season like they have done recently.

Obviously Origin dependent but if he doesn't make it could be very cheap and a perfect 18th/19th man who offers dual position.

Turbo > Bula
Carty > Bird
CNK > Cotter

Taking a punt that Cotter misses Origin 1. Getting in Bird. Could do worse than Bula and he can go in a loop with Couch.

Need to ditch Turbo, is it crazy to grab Teddy when you already have Trell. Not sure if I can convince myself on Ponga or Drinky

During origin period he may slot back to FB if Manu remains at 6. Interesting prospect.

Could you bring in JDB instead for Cotter? Or do you already have him.

I personally think Cotter is shoe-in for Origin this year based on how he went last year - His form hasn't been terrible as well.

If a Cowboy was to miss it, I think it would have to be Nanai imo.

Francis Molo has been hit with an extra 2 game suspension as a breach notice from NRL for a previous off field issue

This is the best looking set of trades I’ve seen this week.
