NRL Fantasy 2022 Part 1 - fire up the spreadsheets

Tigers are actually making good moves though. There's definite potential for a finals team built around Stef, Doueihi, Laurie, Blore, etc. Hastings and Peachey are smart signings and they've got some big guns coming in for 2023 so Sheens is clearly doing something right since coming into the role. I really hope they make finals just so Madge gets some reward because he got such a shit go with the team he got handed

There's a lot to like there I think. He's priced like Sexton around 48 and I think in the right circumstances he could average low to mid 50's, like Sexton, bringing him into keeper territory. I'm looking forward to trials to see how it unfolds. With Sexton there's some reasonable job security and certainty of halves partner and GK, but uncertainty with his limited sample size. With Hynes there is a larger sample size, but in a different position, question marks over halves partner, GK status, new team etc. You could probably extrapolate some halves base stats averages to help, but I haven't delved too far yet. Trials normally help here as opposed to forward's minutes where it's murkier.

Hynes is currently in my team as a WFB. I think he has a lot of upsides and is not too affected by the TB and KM changes. He is certainly undervalued just on the basis of all the games he played low minutes. For all his games 60 minutes and above he averaged 60 last year. I am looking forward to seeing what he can do running the show

I'm looking forward to it too mate. And he's possibly a good pick. But Pappy also gunned it, in the same position, for the same team and is also undervalued because of injury/bench games. More question marks with Hynes. Why wouldn't you just pick Pappy instead?

I have Papy and Hynes. I do not have Cleary and I am sticking to my guns.

PS Hynes is in my HLFs alongside Burton. I forgot that I moved him. I am starting to feel really happy with my side. It is well balanced and has four or five solid captain options

What Big Guns have The Tigers coming in for 2023 ?

If people are interested in Hynes (@ FB), why no love for Ponga? Similar price, proven scorer with an offseason to heal some injuries. With Pearce gone, likely to pick up some of the ball-playing role.

Did it though in 2021? Think for the time invested this forum got pretty poor returns (including me, especially me).

The autofill team was pure MID, and if some of the most obvious traps in it (e.g. Kikau, Luai, Staines, I'm sure there were a couple of non-Panthers too...) has been replaced by slightly smarter mid-priced options before R1 it easily beats most of the field here.

Before kick metres got nerfed he was a lock for my team

His price was reduced accordingly. Unless you expect a significant increase in kick meters from last season, it shouldn't make a difference

Think I'm with MS on this one. Yes his price has been reduced accordingly and yes he is undervalued, but if a gun is undervalued by a few points that's a good pick. But the nerf means he might not even break 50 which begs the question, is he still a gun? Big difference between someone priced at 51 who you expect to hit 55 vs someone priced at 44 who you expect to score 48. If they're not a gun and not making much money it's a poor pick. There's probably some merit in picking him depending on how undervalued you think he is, but not an insta pick.
