NRL Fantasy 2022 Part 5 - RIP Shane Warne

How many shipping containers do you reckon Fox has for their various sports photo shoots and promo vids?

If he is more likely to play than not then it can’t be 50/50, more like 59.3/49.7

Not looking forward to the possibility of having both Papy and Cleary not playing rd1.
Do I put them on the pine?
Do I play alternatives and waste 2 trades and get them in next week?
Do I have one on the pine and trade the other one in next week?

Have complete faith in everything Dobbo says. He believes Arey will be named in the 21, and if he passes fitness tests when released on Wednesday, will play.

Randall!!!!!!!!!!!! Unless you are in one of my leagues then it is easily Simpkin.

NRL.com really dumbing down the coverage year on year.

They have that 'Late Mail Crew' arseclown Pauly G doling out video advice on the site.

Had a quick look and if you squint you can pick up the disdain on Renee Gartner's face as he serves up some of his 'hot tips'.

It's almost like he watches highlights packages and makes picks based on the contents........

At least Cleary plays the first game, he’ll be an easy swap 1 hour before kick off. Paps was out playing golf so if he didn’t a cop a golf ball to the head then he’ll play.

I think I am going to build a team with them in it and then make a late decision on which one too replace (It's got to be Papy, given Melbourne's smoke and mirrors approach to injury updates)

If Papy is touch and go, I won't get him to start the season. Dodgy ankle and likely out a few weeks for any head knock makes him a significant risk. Would go with alternative options with the cash.

Imagine if Cleary isn't named R1 and doesnt end up playing until R4. Would be some pissed off Fantasy players that still get him in.

Jeez the promo is cringey this year, why have all the players eye eachother off hahahaha it looks so obvious they don't wanna be there/holding back laughs

Sims wasn't dropped, isn't back from injury

Can someone who is good at Maths work out whether it is worse to start with no player cover for one position (HOK) or one player cover for three positions (MID)?

Was Tago playing in the second row via the bench last year?

Yep

Which option do you like (a) Mahoney & Taumalolo or (b) I. Papalii & B. Smith. Cheers.

@White Lightning smith and Papa. Smith will get more mins at 13 and has high base. Don’t trust tam mins

I think he's a very good pick, in plenty of my earlier drafts. I think a few points unders and will get you safely through the first bye. Just sort of hard to fit in and I'm leaning towards Lolo now anyway.

Does the tackle bust nerf affect Lolo more than other mids. He's not really a work horse. The beauty of Lolo was adding +3 to most hit ups. He's not really known for his offloads either.
I really want to believe in the Lolo hype but im just not sure!

IMO if someone is out due to injury, its too risky to start with them. No guarantees they'll actually be right come round 2.

You don't want $1mil Cleary sitting out for 2 weeks

Grant is about the only red dot I would be willing to hold in round 1

Logic and probability would probably suggest you're more likely to need cover for a position with 3 players right? Though doesn't count for loads of variables like injury risk, and a load of fantasy factors like DPP and position scarcity
