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

723/13(once Riki’s score added) Hitting low to mid 900s would be a decent week, I think. Got Teddy, Brooks, Laurie, and Liddle today.

Escaped the unfortunate by not bringing in Davey, and I do apologise for my earlier comment, I didn’t mean to touch the sensitivity nerve and it absolutely sucks for him as an athlete.

I brought in Jensen and got exactly what I expected, but didn’t see those minutes coming for Alvaro Should’ve gone him instead.

.

Sitting on 12c/650 once Averillo's 19 comes in for Roberts. Leniu and Davey were just inspired trades, though in fairness Davey looked really good in the few minutes he played prior to his freak injury.

Need Teddy, Lam, Laurie, Liddle and Moylan to combine for 250 to get over the fabled 900.

Looks like the 76 hours of cumulative deliberation over trades this week paid off and saved the 'Topes from Davey (intended to get him Rd3). Commiserations to all the coaches here caught out in that. Its a fickle game.

Steady on, I'm not sure we were at any point in contention for the wooden spoon (although agree Eisenhuth is pretty garbo)

Bit harsh on the Tigers, but it's no surprise Eisenhuth wasn't in contention at the start of the year and needed injuries to get a job

Eisenhuth is garbage. The minutes he played for a wooden spoon contender have no impact on his minutes with a premiership contender. Leniu has already jumped him in pecking order, as shown by being first middle forward interchange this week

Eisenhuth 31 minutes
Leniu 29 minutes
May 27 minutes

Haha with my gun CTR trio of Momo, Niu and Reimis I’m tempted to turn Roberts into Ofa and plug him in today

unlucky Welshy. Still in box seat for six nations title.

Got to put that game to bed, haven’t got the killer instinct we had under Gats and Edwards. Dumb penalties and yellows in last 10. Championship not same as Grand Slammer but at least we look like contenders again.

Guys it’s round 2.
Next week Leniu could crash over for a try and Alvaro could cramp up and play 20 minutes and everyone will be taking about how it was so obvious Leniu was the better pick all along.

I'm on 731 with Liddle, Lam, Laurie & Tedesco to play. Poor scores from Tino, Capewell, Averillo & Turpin. I'm looking to sell Tino & Capewell this week but if Cleary misses 1 game I'll need a good half.

If the game isn't a blow out, JFH finishes it with Leniu coming on for Eisenuth

I might go the MS direction & buy 2 halves - Capewell & Tino to Schuster & Moses or even Mahoney instead of Moses.

Had his first line break since 2016 that didn't involve a try. Also played more minutes than all 3 starting middles, combined with both edges only getting 70 minutes. Took the perfect storm to get him 50 minutes, although that score will kick start his price rises for owners

You missed Martin in that, I had forgotten that he's in the middle rotation these days (now that Capewell's locked in for 80 every week).

Are those the minutes from this week? TBH I missed the game - anything else interesting happen?


It's a big advantage if you legit "just know" how the rotations are going to work and how many minutes each player is going to get (I definitely don't)
I bought Alvaro in this week, but was quite surprised/delighted to see him get a second stint - an unexpected bonus for me (rather than good planning)

PS> Keep the thumbs downs coming Matt, love 'em

Im surprised he got so many mins after not playing the whistle on the holmes try, then granville walzed through him for his try, altho marker defense was a contributor

Dudes fkn shit. Has little impact but just gets himself around the park and wraps up a lot of tackles.

Sitting on 755 with Teddy, Liddle, Ofa and Laurie to go. Seems ok?

100%
We'll know who the best selection option was in about 5 weeks...
