NRL Fantasy 2023 Part 54 - 11 players is enough

Where’s my SJ captainers today? Let’s go

I'm tracking about the same as you at 285/5c, if Harris can manage a 65.

I have Harris, Tapine, SJ, Cook, Horse, and Ponga to come.

Likewise. 5/309c, with SJ, Ford, Cook, Tatola, Horse, and Ponga to come.

Only having Hopgood in last night's fantasy score-a-thon was a killer. But every week I tell myself not to look at ranks mid-round (and naturally, then just ignore myself).

Love it. Here's hoping a century (and an orgasm?) for you and Snatchpato.

I've got:

11 players that are "keepers" atm
Haas, Carrigan, Horse, Tohu, Hopgood, Bateman (hopefully) Cleary, Hynes, SJ, Bird, Manu

- 4 borderline keepers
Boyd, Bula, Ponga, Koula (as a safe-ish WFB/CTR backup)

- 2 cows
Luki, Couchman

And 4 that I want the fuck out of my team ASAP
Woolford, Miller, iKatoa, Burbo

Nice work. I agree that Hopgood is 100% a keeper, and given how shit WFB is I would almost class Bula as one too.

As for my team, I have:

11 keepers not counting Haas who I plan to sell next week: Robson, JDB, Hopgood, Fifita, Hynes, Cleary, SJ, Lemuelu, Bird, Manu, Walsh

1 borderline keeper: Bula

7 cash cows: Tatola, Ford, Russell, Billy Smith, H Edwards, Oloapu, S Fainu

1 guy that I want out of my team ASAP: IKat

The plan next week is to trade Ikat and Haas to Liddle (cash cow and cover for Robson's byes) and D Edwards, and potentially also Ford to Bateman (though I may delay that trade if Ford goes well tonight). This would leave me with 13 keepers, 1 borderline and 7 cows.

If Robson is a keeper can I class JMK as one? Not as up and down as Robson but similar average

I think you can, basically I class Grant, Robson, Cook and JMK as the four keepers at hooker. Tanah Boyd is borderline and Koroisau/Mahoney are a level below them.

In my team's case, I'm planning to buy Grant after Origin if I can do it (hopefully Liddle makes enough money to make that easy)

You trading Miller? Or hoping for not too big of a price drop?

I'm seriously thinking katoa to kiraz next week but I'll have 4 dogs players what will be a concern

I mean I could make an argument for 14 keepers, some are borderline but they are.

Keepers: JMK, Horse, Tohu, Hopgood, Cleary, Hynes, SJ, Bird, Lemmy, Manu, Teddy, Carrigan, Bula and Ponga.

Fringe: Preston, Loiero, Boyd, Perham

Cows: Sele, Niko, Oloapu

Defining a keeper is always tricky. Eg is Tapine? He might be. He might not be.

I'm looking reasonably ok, main issue is just not having Hynes and Fifita.

Keepers: Cook Haas Carrigan Harris Horse Tapine Hopgood Cleary SJ Bird Lemu Manu Tedesco Walsh
(included guys who are a bit borderline but can even stay long term)

Potential: Bula Ponga

Useful: Preston Carty - hopefully get a solid month or more out of these guys from here.

Cashies: Niko (slowing), Oloapu (gaining momentum   )

Dead: Burbo

Thank you mate, Jele #1 good guy

Apologies in advance if this has been beaten to death already. I have Grant in my starting hooker position, however with him not playing will I get Granville’s score who is sitting at #1 on my Interchange bench? Churr

13 Keepers: Cook JDB Horse Harris Hopgood SJ Bird Lemuelu Teddy Cleary Fifita Haas Manu

3 Borderline: Drinky Ponga Bula

5 To be cashed: Host Niko Loiero HEdwards Oloapu

Have 300k bank so Host will be turned into a keeper next week

especially if you have any tigers/sharks who also are on the round 17 bye with the dogs

Yes

Yeah you would get Granville's score if there's no hookers ranked above him on your bench, which there aren't.

Cheers mate, it would be a happy start to a Saturday morning

Currently 4/238 and have a 9 more people to go

Which players are out there that everyone will be targeting for their final teams? For me the guys I'm really interested in securing are:

Hynes
Fifita
iPap
Cook
Turbo (if demonstrates health throughout origin)

Other than those 4/5 I actually am pretty content with my team (despite having a mediocre rank). Guess the main focus for now will be navigating the bye rounds, picking up all genuine cash cows, and picking up some fallen guns (thinking Angus, Brimson, Lane, Ofa, Cook, etc depending on form/price).
