NRL Fantasy 2022 Part 7 - Guess the total fantasy points scored Thursday!

Why have we all jumped off Kobe if he'll be back from Covid. If he was playing Rd 1 would be in loads of teams no?

Thats my plan too

Huh, just realised Salker is only 26 bucks more than Jastings. Hard to say no to that swap.

May only get 1 or 2 weeks starting (or come back on the bench), then Flegler is back. Was a lot of his appeal.

Why are so many people having Tuilagi in their team ?

He seems like a TRAP to me !

Played the last 5 games last year because Blore was covering for Garner.
On field for 16 to 28 mins ( except 45 in the last game when Lucy came off at 56 minutes).

Garner is ready or almost ready to come back so Tuilagi will move back to Bore's bench spot.
Have a look at Blore's minutes from the bench.

You have been warned !!

Randall
Tuilagi

Coates is going to be a real boom or bust playing option. I guess the hat-trick games are going to balance out the low 10 scoring games though. Solid team.

I feel like one of Tuilagi or Nanai is going to be a flop but I just don't know which one, so it seems safer having both

TU: Haas + Bird + 10k ITB
TD: JDB + Burton + 75k ITB

Feel the same way. Garner has been MIA, i tried to find details but can't, many suggested injury, but someone on WT forum said he had some family issues, i have no idea if that is true.

Garner is straight onto the bench for round 1, which suggest to me he isn't out of favour..

Tualagi is currently in my team.

Any interest in Hudson Young?

I think he is priced appropriately, but could nudge a little higher. Regardless, possibly very close to gun scoring for the first part of the season, at 100k less.

Personally, I think he has the left edge spot locked down. I'm thinking Elliot spends a bit of time in the middle off the bench and relieves CHN at other times. Whitehead seems out of the frame for an edge spot for now.

Anyone keen to critique my team in the tracker?

Don’t want to clog the main thread with team lists so it’s sitting there if anyone wants to roast

Well anyone else good in that price range we don't know about. That's really the only reason for it.

I think you can make a case for almost any of the Raiders forwards. The issues are around rotation and how likely they are to keep that role.

not quite as bad as Roosters middles for inconsistent minutes but I don't really trust them

Finch wrote:Any love for Mo Fotuaika?

Averaged 52.5 last year, almost same amount of minutes so is near 1PPM.

His low score in that was 26 in 30 minutes.

Think he is a great player, but not sure on the fantasy value. Seems priced appropriately and doesn't score highly enough to be a season keeper gun

I'm still keen to get him as HOK cover for round 2 onwards

Don't think you've updated properly. I see last years team.

I guess, if you knew Young was locked in on the left edge for (regularly) 80 mins, would people pick him?

I'm willing to bet he is. Just don't know if I want him.

I’ve looked at him. 13 2RF games last year for an average of 60 (5 tries) does look good. And plays 13.

But edge is so full of potential cows that his leap to ~750 is outbalanced by the options around Fermor, Katoa, Nanai, Wilton, Luki, Tuilagi, Mad Jack, Nikora, Martin and Bird/Aitken.

Value in edge, so guns go elsewhere for me. Even slightly discounted ones.

I went and put Wilton in my team last night. Thought it was silly but now everyone is doing it lol.

Rest of the team is pretty straight up and down.

A few remaining decisions

- Tossing up between Clifford or Mann.
- Don’t want Clark but don’t see anyone better in the 350-450k range that I don’t already own.
- I’ve still got Leniu 20 and Roberts 21 cos I’m nostalgic for 2021 but will likely chicken out of both, and do something boring like JKing and Billy Smith

Fair call. As I was typing it out and looking more into the stats I thought the same, but just kept typing it anyway in case I missed something.
