NRL Fantasy 2022 Part 3 - Max or Josh?

CHN lock - who am I forgetting that will take that spot?

Guler and Sutton started a lot last year, both on bench for the trial

edit:. Guler not in this trial but is around, and Adam Elliott joined the club

Hetherington - tempting if he gets dual and does start on an edge. Not sure I can go there.

Flegler is due back from suspension in round 4, and could well go straight into starting team.

Fifita on the bench is encouraging for the Sharks.

Periera firming in my team, interesting to see how Paix and Turpin split the minutes.

Jennings at 240k, although probably shouldn't read much into it with no DEdwards.

Smokescreen re Raiders Whitehead will play lock.

Yup, Sutton slipped my mind.

Re: Hetherington, I was referring to Jack! Think I'll happily avoid Kobe.

If Flegler starts, his preseason form has been fantastic. Offloading at every opportunity. Might finally be his season.

I think he definitely gets 30mins whilst McInnes is out maybe even slightly more. I’ll say he gets 32mins round 1.

I reckon 30 mins and 47 seconds don't you

Jack Hetherington is the more fantasy relevant player people should be thinking of anyway

I have a feeling Jennings might have it, it seems like Staines is being blooded to be the backup fullback as he hasn’t been on the wing at all these trials. Assume T may might be Jennings comp unless I’m forgetting someone

I hope so but they probs play Staines he’s on a fair bit of money now after they upgraded his deal.

We still need more numbers for survivor so please check out the thread for details regarding the game.

Who’s not gonna be a cat and get both TPJ and J hetho

McInnes lover club will be postponed

Tickets will be offered to members when he returns

Sorry bro, I am not a fish. I am a cetacean. Dolphins are intricately pleated kents and do not post fantasy irrelevant teams from New Zealand

I'm bettting one of them will get suspended ahead of round 1. The replacement is the guy you want instead.

Also more likely to be eased in with lower minutes after injury.

Not sure what the theory is here.. ? Pick a guy who starts for a week or two and then goes back to the bench ?

Sharks website confirms mcinnes likely to miss rounds 1 and 2

I'm backing that as his average over the first two rounds

Rd1  30 mins 36 seconds
Rd 2 30 mins 58 seconds

+/- 5.7 seconds depending on prevailing weather conditions

These guys get 4-6 weeks for a minor infraction, with all their loading. Before one is back, the other will be suspended.

Patolo should be fantasy relevant this season because of it.

Sounds stupid but I feel like I would rather have a player miss 4-6 weeks and be a blatantly obvious trade rather than Crichton being a tool and getting 4 separate 2-3 week suspensions

It a risky strategy picky someone on the basis that they are a chance of replacing someone who may or may not get suspended. I have a hard enough time managing the players I pick who are actually named to start.
My logic would tell me to pick the better player, hope he doesn't get suspended and if he does, use a trade to pick up his replacement. I'm not sure you are saving a trade picking someone who will get zero or bugger all minutes while waiting for someone else to get suspended.

He might get good game time over the course of the season, but he might not. There is also the opportunity cost of not picking a player who is actually increasing his value during the wait.

I'm fully aware that Mad Jack will blow my theory away by being placed on report for three separate offences in Rd1 but if he does the time to contemplate his replacement is then.

What now? Missed a lot of preseason stuff, but why is this happening?
