NRL Fantasy 2022 Part 18 - The answer, was to not Milf

Currently 645/11(c) once Niu loop is added with SST, Teddy, Lam, Liddle, Laurie and Townsend left

Hopefully mid-900s

Bit annoying no TA for McCullough and no TS for Gosiewski (kinda surprised no TS was given to any Manly player with Cook and Arrow being held up)

If it feels like you've got too many middles why would you sell a gun for another middle

Must be the old reverse psychology tactic.
Do the opposite to what you'd expect.

On that basis, maybe downgrade Cleary to a middie as well?

I wonder if Trent Robison's comments about Sam Walker put a rocket up LAM today.

Milford looked good last week and (at least at that time) would have been universally considered to be locked into the team and he was pretty cheap. Davey/Alvaro/Leniu/LAM/whoever all had a lot of question marks around minutes, role, performance etc.

Trading in Milf was the wrong choice, evidenced by this week, but it was originally a sound and logical one. Don't get confused

(I'm trading him straight back out of my team though, sunk cost be damned)

It's not like Croft took his km's either, between them they kicked for 327m, if I was a forward in that team I'd be having a word. Feel sorry for the Broncos, which is a strange and unfamiliar feeling.

I couldn't trade Croker to Davey quick enough on Tuesday. Gutted Davey got injured, not just for fantasy but as a Manly supporter. Should have stuck to my no trade after 1st round policy

Schuster might be the edge benchie I need. Only half currently but great for 14-17

I saved my trades for moments like this

Rabbit wouldn't even use toilet paper at the best of times. Just clean himself with sheer willpower like a real man

He would just use $50 bills to clean his ass he was so wealthy apparently.

Updated to 32, but I would never take a guaranteed score in the 30s. Simonnson probably gets a 20 at worst and costs you 12 points. But the glory of a 60 will last forever

Unfortunately, I copped a heavy punch to the dick this weekend. And it's not even over yet. I'm almost dreading to see how tomorrow turns out.

I’ve been gutter stomped in the dick both weeks so far. 620 with teddy, TKO, liddle, Laurie, Mary had a

Keep telling myself swings and roundabouts but feeling like surmo’s luck rubbed off on me early last season and all the showers and deodorant in the world haven’t been able to get it off

Super top heavy squad paying big bucks to DCE, TTurbo, JTurbo and Taupau. Throw in Sironen and Walker as above average earners and there isn't much left to go around

Need an average of 42 between Tupouniua, Lam and Laurie to hit 900. I’m not convinced it’s going to happen. Liddle an option over Lam but think I trust Lam this week

I've learnt my lesson after I captained Teddy for about a month last year and Haas just outscored him pretty much every week anyway.  

Fifita played 65 minutes, was on track for 90ish.

I only have Davey and Milf as failures, but sitting on 683 with Tauk, Liddle, Teddy, Laurie to go which looks like its going to be a sub par score.

Davey is a shame, looks like his run in my team will last all of 4 minutes.

Glad I went Alvaro over Leniu. Winning move for this week at least.

Wouldn’t have expected Alvaro to win the battle with Leniu but 49 minutes to 29 minutes is a huge help

Its a help, but it was also to be expected.

Alvaro stole Lenius line break

I’m really hoping Schuster on an edge becomes a thing

Really? I didn't expect Alvaro to get more minutes than both starting props and the starting lock. I had him in my team two weeks straight but left him out both times because I was so unsure about the Dragons' forwards rotations. Coming back for a second stint with 13 minutes to go looks like big bonus minutes if it is to continue.

There was always going to be a battle for minutes at Panthers, but Dragons have them available with the loss of McInnes.
