NRL Fantasy 2022 Part 1 - fire up the spreadsheets

Both K Brom and Kaufusi are leaving next year, so they will want to make sure he is ready to start on an edge next season.

Will be interesting to see how many 220-240 players we actually get come tlt

What role are we projecting Reuben Cotter for this season? Really need mid/hok cover and he fulfils both nicely

If Segeyaro does officially sign with Manly, do you think he will start over Croker? He would have to be back to almost base price?

Croker is currently injured (short term I think) so every chance Segeyaro starts in round 1

I had heard Segeyaro was just signed by the Manly feeder club.

Could make Lawton interesting.

Yeah, my current draft only has two (Howarth and Moale, I'm 100% taking Howarth unless we get other 220k guys, and hoping for one more to replace Moale if he doesn't play)

I doubt either Segeyaro or Lawton is interesting as Croker will get the spot back as soon as he's fit, which won't be far into the season (may even be round 1)

Most likely $220-240k players to make round 1 teams currently:
Howarth
Moale
Moeroa
Kei/Tupou
Falls/Salmon (if Cleary isn't ready round 1)
Mam/Walters in consideration
Tass
Davey
King
Cook
J Cartwright

Cheers for that, I'm pretty sure at least two of those will be viable, and if we only get one, then I'll hold Howarth on my EMG because I really rate him.

What are the chances of Howarth nabbing a bench spot? I still think the Storm pack will be quite stronge especially with NAS cleared to play. Im assuming Lewis will be in the mix somewhere come rd 2.

Do theses fookers even realise the giant add makes the app unusable?

I really like Moeroa as a player, but I just can't see him getting the sort of minutes he used to get at Parra...

Expect he is likely to make round 1 team, but may miss round 2 potentially.

Sounds like he is rated highly, and many are saying he will start at lock. Even if he does start at lock not sure how many minutes he would actually get.

Im thinking about starting with him for that extra hooking cover

In the past the app has been launched without the ability to make trades. I doubt that a giant ad registers with them at all

Nice work Cookie!

Looks like I'll be in League 4 this season, no more playing with the big boys in League 1

League 4 has some legends in it though: Honeysett, Shady, Camo, Chucky, MilfordTheMagician, Jele, and... who is this Bunny boy brothers?

I just had a bit of a tinker with my team, as you do, and I'm seriously looking at Munster as a big POD play. He is suspended for round 1 but I've swapped out Grant for him so it balances out.

He averaged 60 last year barely doing anything on the field, now that he seems to be better mentally, I think he could seriously challenge DCE for the 2nd best half spot, especially since he isn't reliant on TBs and KMs as much as other halves sometimes are.

My draft with him in, only $2k in the bank

Starling
Angus, TPJ, Welch (may swap to Uto given that NAS will likely play now)
Nanai, Tago
Munster, Cleary
Burton, Penisini
Critta, Papy, Dunster

Randall, Amone, Ilias, Leniu

T May, Howarth, Moale, Tass

I have read somewhere (maybe on this site) that Lolo will have jersey 13 no matter where he ends up playing. Which could make it hard to get a read on how Cotter will be used based solely on team lists.

Shawn Blore suspected ACL at training

Sucks for both the Tigers and our fantasy teams (and Blore himself, obviously)

Nice team Bethany ... but I think Munster is a pick influenced by your Storm Goggles

Starling [big role uncertainty]
Angus not sure where any additional points will come from, TPJ has been known to play 80 and not make his average - no guarantee he will play 80, Welch (may swap to Uto given that NAS will likely play now) good call - Storm Goggles may kill you season  
Nanai From what I hear unlikely to start, Tago you are playing a CTR (who may not get the gig) on the EDG - please reconsider
Munster Are you mad at Hynes for leaving? Cheaper and more potential, Cleary Most people will have him. I will regress and move on
Burton, Penisini solid choices at CTR - cannot really go wrong here
Critta, Papy, Dunster Great choices at WNG, yet I think Dunster will average in the high 20's? Why not back Coates?

Randall Great option, Amone, Ilias, Leniu All three may require a rethink - Ilias if not playing 80, Amone may play at CTR, Leniu - has got some competition for the minutes required to score well

T May May and Tago - that is a little overboard?, Howarth, Moale, Tass Would love for these last three to work out
