NRL Fantasy 2023 Part 66 - So I says to Patty, I says "F*** you C***"

Aitke is a frustrated forward at ctr anyway.  Just loves the extra contact and extra involvement.

Surprised to see Sandon Smith being the 2nd most traded in this week. Every chance that Walker is back in R20 when he is listed to return from injury.

God, Dolphins dont play till last on Saturday

Plus R19 bye, it's probably casual players?

He might be getting Lemmy's bench spot.

I wouldn't mind this. Would force my hand to trade him to big Val.

I wonder if Lemmy trained.

Looking at grabbing Fifita this week just to save future headaches.

Grant
JDB Haas Carrigan
Bateman Fifita
Hynes SJ
Lemuelu Manu
Edwards Ponga Teddy

Cook Elliot Turpin Simpkin

Bula Piakura Hands Moses

Trades are
Bird -> Piakura
Davey -> Fifita
Oloapu -> Simpkin

If I go ahead with current trades I will have 5 remaining and 123k

Thoughts?

EDIT Realised I can use a 4th on Turpin to Murray. I am very close to doing it

What did Lemmy do wrong?

He's a much better edg anyway... just run hard, tackle hard. Won Warriors POTY playing there

Took Wayne 17 rounds to figure it out

I agree, and I think Wayne likely agreed from the start too

Aitken playing CTR is more lack of other options. VTW wouldn’t have been ready R1, Lee is unreliable, HTF was at FB

Dolphins EDG is stacked by comparison tho - I guess kBrom moves into the middle

He did get injured last week, maybe that has something to do with it.

Aitken's defence was appalling last week so I wouldn't be surprised if he's benched or dropped entirely.
Moving HTF out of a position where he's dominated is a choice though.

Who would you rather keep in your team out of

TU: Tohu
TD: Preston

Lots of options at MID, not so many at EDG.

Thumbs down

Preston.

Though I would be wary of having too many players from one team if that was a factor.

Non-Haas owner but wouldn't be too fussed either way. He already plays huge minutes (59 average), I'm not sure an extra 5-10 do too much for him - don't think there's a huge correlation in Haas's scores vs minutes.

My thoughts exactly. Not to mention a Tohu looks broken down in every game I’ve watched him play

Apparently the casualty ward having Walsh suspended for R21 is correct, as Broncos have a bye, Origin is not counting towards suspension

I keep expecting to see him not named each TLT.

With an explanation of ‘has finally broken down’

Intended team for the round:

Crossland ---> Simpkin
Hosking ---> Fifita

Cook
Horsburgh, jdb, NAS
Fifita, Preston
Hynes, Johnson
Manu, Ramien
Drinkwater, Ponga, Bula

Tedesco, Haas, Robson, Hopgood

Metcalf, Simpkin, Stone, VTW

2 trades left so down to bare bones now. Won't be bringing Clearly in til I get a resupply.

Reece Robson has been named but will be monitored after injuring his hamstring against Souths.

------------------------------

Thats more than just hamstring tightness. Players rarely end up playing in these circumstances, especially with high load over the Origin period.

Team and trades

JFH to Fifita
Bird to Blore
Oloapu to Simpkin

Grant
JDB, Carrigan, Horse
Fifita, Preston
Hynes, SJ
Manu, Lemmy
Teddy, Ponga, Bula

Tohu, Boyd, NAS, Turpin
Blore, Simpkin, Hopgood, Simonsson

Leaves me 6 trades to use for the next couple of weeks
