NRL Fantasy 2022 Part 5 - RIP Shane Warne

mattnz wrote:There are a few key things that have changed for Uto from his big minute scoring run to finish last season, that means those expecting huge minutes are likely to be disappointed.

1. Tamou didn't play the last 5 of the last 6 games and looks to have got injured, only playing 27 minutes in the 6th of these games. Tamou never played off the bench all last season and is their captain. Is missing from round 1 team with a suspension. Screams trap!

2. Even if Uto is named at prop ahead of Tamou for round 2 when he returns, Twal would be the prop next to him and is easily capable of 60-80 minutes. I wouldn't be banking on Twal going off the field first.

3. Peachey has arrived. Another big minute MID that looks to be starting lock.

All this combined means Uto isnt the value buy everyone expects and isn't getting in my team, until they have a couple of injuries that would free up big minutes.

Well, we're not sure. That's the point. Keighran will likely kick if selected. SST can kick, although there are problems with giving the gig to a prop. Maybe Ben Walker has taught his son how to kick during the off-season. Momirovski seems most likely to me, but there is uncertainty there.

Agree with Rhino.

If Keighran is on the field he will kick. So even as a bench player expect him to do some of the kicking.

Apparently pre-game against he Roosters, Keighran and Momo were the ones practicing kicks in warm up. Sam Walker played in this game but Taukeiaho didn't.

If Keighran misses the 17, I'd bet on Momo kicking. Outside of kicking, will he score better at the Roosters than he di dat the Panthers? And would kicking alone be enough for you to select him

Dirt cheap and playing for what will probably be the top 3 teams in the league. So hopefully they will be scoring tries or assisting in them somehow

What a load of crap, your bias against the Roosters/Nick Politis overtime is just childish.

Didn't you know jealousy is a curse.

No I wouldn't say a trap and not going to lose cash but as Matt said there may not be a lot of value there as it seemed on the face of it.

What’s your guess then as to why a cover up like this was kept so quiet and such a tiny fine was the only penalty?

I know Walsh did something technically criminal, but he and his club were transparent and genuinely remorseful. Yet if he’d denied wrongdoing and pretended it was wizz fizz in a baggie he’d have copped the same punishment.

I feel more uncomfortable with how Teddy and Roosters have played this out over the last three months. But he’ll be Rooster captain and great role model, R1.
