NRL Fantasy 2022 Part 1 - fire up the spreadsheets

Its hard to provide feedback on teams at the moment because so much is up in the air around starting teams, but its relying on a few things going in your favour.

A lot of cheap players in your starting team with potentially iffy job security. If Tigers start Luciano and Garner, it makes things tough for you finding another playable $350k edge player
There is literally zero MID/EDG cover which would need to change in any case

Which means you are playing a lt of real life centres in your 17. There's a few decent looking cheap options that will hopefully make some cash, but I am not sure playing so many in your 17 is a good idea. Although I suspect Joshua Cook will either be good enough to play in your 17 or not worth picking so you can promote him for someone.

Biggest problem with James is that when he was an elite fantasy FRF he was playing massive minutes. 2019 he averaged 73 minutes a game when starting prop. That won't be happening again. But we don't need him to average 60 points a week to be useful. Just a regular starting prop role would be great, if he can get it.

If this is who I think it is there might be an exit but there won’t be a meltdown as he’s a real sweetheart

I also could be way off.

DISCLAIMER: Nothing is confirmed here!

A few prominent members of the NRL/SC community who are usually very very on the money have potentially revealed Penrith star Nathan Cleary is behind on his rehab after having a setback with Covid causing him to be 2-4 weeks BEHIND schedule. Meaning Cleary would look at a RD 3-4 return.

Take this with a pinch of salt as nothing has been confirmed, but definitely something to monitor.

Would blow the comp wide open for sure and make for a good season.

Needs to be taken with a monumental grain of salt, I mean we all saw how much Nath bulked up last season he could easily have a quicker recovery. I don't think JT13 is the only one taking the jab recently if ya catch my drift
