NRL Fantasy 2022 Part 6 - I can't (C) Cleary now his shoulder's gone

Agreed, max 65. Payten also said "JTB will get a nice chunk (of minutes) in the first half and come back on in the second half". I'm thinking at least 45 for him. Lolo 60, Hess 40, McLean 35, Luki 60, Nanai 75, Cotter 50 (I reckon he comes on at 30 minutes and plays out the game with him spelling Robson via the prop rotation), Dunn 25, Gilbert 30 (10 middle, 20 Luki's edge, occasionally Nanai's edge. We're over subscribed 5 minutes. Don't know where the other 15 for Robson comes from.

Cleary news throws a bit of a spanner but at least there'll be a mix up in teams

There's a few options that I think pick themselves: Randall, Haas (especially with Cleary now out), Schneider, Ilias, Critta, probably Fifita

Fermor/Nanai/Tuilagi will probably all be popular picks as starting edges at a cheap price point

There's a few players I'm on the fence about that, some popular, some not, but each have some merit:

Grant 697k, Mahoney 780k, Cook 767k: Not comfortable with only running Randall. Not keen on Clark, so need a good hooker. Grant out first week but back R2. Good value, only question is minutes/role? Cook is you get what you get, no real upside, might have more responsibility without Reynolds. Mahoney may score the most, but Eels bench is off-putting with Stone and Arthur on there. Think he needs to play 70-80 every week to be worth it at his price. With his bad shoulders and if Eels are winning comfortably, he may be the first one getting an early shower.
Ryan Papenhuyzen 600k: We all know what he's capable of. The injury cloud really bothers me despite him being named. And Storm don't play early either. Worth the risk? They're playing Tigers first up so they don't exactly NEED him either lol
Andrew Fifita 240k: Former gun at this price AND looked good in trials? Almost too good to be true, but will he be left right out once McInnes is back? McInnes > 13. Finucane > prop, which then pushes BHU or Rudolf to the bench and someone out? Graham also to return as well?
Teig Wilton 484k: Related to above. Priced at 39 and averages 54 in 80min edge games. A 4 forward bench is off putting, and then Graham to return in a month or so too, is he worth the pick up at his price to maybe gain 80k then get punted? Maybe more so for the points, but there's also Fermor/Nanai/Tuilagi as cheaper edge options
Jake Clifford 521k: Huge km, goal kicker, decent running game. Could be a goer? Think he meets the 'no shit players in your squad' factor though
Shaun Johnson 544k: For only 23k more than Clifford... priced at 44. Surely he can get mid 50s? Will he be goal kicking or will that be Walsh when he's back in Round 2? Will he get bulk kicks next to Nikorima?
Toby Sexton 600k: Probably kicks everything next to Brimson, goals, running with Fifita, decent team, can he elevate to gun status? He's very young and not the cheapest though, but do like him as an option
Talatau Amone 350k: Could score a 20 one week and 50 the next. Second fiddle to Hunt for sure and probably a low base, if he was a bit cheaper it'd be a no brainer but his price is a bit awkward

Thoughts on Collins Rhino? I think it's likely that we see SST subbing on for JWH. Collins looks primed for a 60 min role, but could just as easily play 50. No Liu has increased Collins stocks

Do not remind me mate and I picked Host.

I haven’t done a draft yet either.

Assistant coach says he will be a big minute lock this season
