NRL Fantasy 2023 Part 42 - Did Someone Say Aubussson :heart:

The Eels minute share could be absolutely anything if they run out as named, I’d want nothing to do with it until I saw it play out if I wasn’t worried about already having Matterson.

Grieg the new Couchman

Muz to NAS
Preston to Oloapu
Walsh to Hynes

Pros: Gets Hynes into my team who I can then captain every week from now until R13

Cons: Leaves me with 17 trades

JDB thoughts aside, the above 3 trades look pretty good so long as you can swallow the lack of Round 13 players.

With Andrew Davey (439k) likely taking Carty's 80 minute role into the origin period who is getting on the Davey Gravy Train

He is a better defender than Carty and has the trust of Brad Arthur


One trade this week

Crossland ==> Davey

Except for having secured a starting role in a good side, replacing a long term injury, none of which applied to couch.

Several weeks. Looking like a screaming buy. Should be good for 45 minutes and 40 points each week.

Greig will play 20 with Matterson to play 60 you would think

Davey to play 80 Carty to play feck all minutes along with Makatoa

God damm ITT, had it with waiting for this guy to score points/return from injury. I'm done with this fool!

He's played over forty minutes once in his career, but that was last week so this checks out.

Yes perhaps watch him play first before giving out that advice Matt.

He played for about 20 minutes, but was on the field for 40.

With Carty on the bench, I will be surprised if he gets 80 minutes. Could get the Doorey minutes, or the first 20 at EDG, then move to prop, to give Paulo a short rest.

Yeah it should be fine, though I do also have Luki on the watchlist for a buy next week (I have enough to go Russell to him in one trade if Russell doesn't get back in).

NAS might miss 13 but he plays 16 which a lot of the popular MIDs don't (JDB, Horse, Tapine etc.)

Anyone tempted by Jayden Campbell? Averages 45 at fullback, priced around 34.

Only hesitation is the Titans have R13 and 16 byes, not sure if he actually plays enough before Brimson returns.

Just because you want Greig to be the next POD does not mean it is gonna happen MattNZ Arthur plays his starting EDGs for 80. Davey has been brought in to shore up defence. Matterson will play big minutes at MID. If you want a SUB GUN POD get on Davey

They have got Makatoa and Matto who can give the PROPs a rest. Why would they use Davey to do that?

Anyone one else want a cup of MattNZs salty fat fingers? Just try give him some pertinent advice!

Talau I'm considering too again as a cash out.  Was hoping Oloapu would start.

Yeah I'm tossing up Campbell + Hopgood/Horse or Drinkwater + Horse. Would need Brimson to be out 5+ though I think for Campbell. Not enthused by Drinkwater, but the bye makes him viable and priced at his historical average, so hopefully worst case of getting what you pay for.

I need to see more info from the Titans about AJ's return date before I get on JC, but he looks the goods.

BE is high enough to wait a week though.

Nah, hes the new couchman

It it Luki's spot to keep on the edge? Surely when Nanai comes back he takes Gosiewski's spot, right? Or am I missing someone obvious?

Is it to late for lemuelu after last week's score surely get a couple of good scores and a few price rises ?

He's safe on that edge as long as Luciano is stood down I would think

Push the old one out onto the verge and wait for hard rubbish pick up???

Dropped the only two players who ever play fast and straight

Hunt and Bird play fast but sideways. Laurie and JbD play straight but slow. The rest of the team is young, not up to standard, or in the case of Sloan both.

He's a dead coach walking at this point. I think the only thing saving him is the Dragons are just desperate to lock in the next guy before sacking the last guy. And next guys seem very reluctant to leave their safer assistant jobs these days
