NRL Fantasy 2022 Part 12 - The first rule of trade club is, we only trade CTRs

UKJC wrote:What are peoples thoughts on Jackson Hastings?
I started the season with him after watching him the last few years over here in Super League and thinking there was definitely some upside on his starting price, but now not so convinced after only getting 22 in round 1.
Obviously attacking stats are harder to come by against the Storm but now questioning whether his base is going to be what I thought it’d be. I’d assume he’ll be making more than 10 tackles per week usually which should increase his base (seems that Storm put a lot of traffic down Brooks’ side with him making 29 tackles but surely this will balance out over a longer term), but the bigger issue looks to be Hastings only getting a low share of the kick metres where I was hoping for more of an even split.
What are everyone’s thoughts on him, is he a hold for now and wait and see or should I be looking to offload him?

Fair point but if you wanna pay more or have the bank to do so I would go Arrow.

If you want more spare bank then go Gilbert.

Could be back to 2020 form, when he averaged 54 in 80 minute games in the regular season.

Started the season priced at 40. Could be a good POD for those looking for an in form former top 5 WFB.

This came about from Manly being pinned deep in their own end and having to kick deep all game
Panthers had incredible line speed and physically dominated the ruck but it isn’t sustainable for 20 odd weeks

I don't think Edwards is a terrible gambler's shout, he loves work and is a bit of a ballhog. However he'll get his hands on the ball a lot less when Cleary is back and he seems pretty brittle (three different injury absences in 2021, either two or three in 2020), which is a risk.

I am planning to trade in Edwards, after re-watching the Panthers game. Incredibly involved throughout the match and with a bit of luck could have scored 80+.

I have a full write up on him in my team tracker.

Why do you expect he will get less ball with Cleary back? It wasn't that Sullivan was putting him into holes, he was creating all the meters himself, doing hard hards in the back field, scooting out of dummy half and backing up through the middle.

Idea is to free up some eventual Cleary cash and also get in a couple of potential money makers instead of the slow grind of my trade outs?

From

Tuilagi
Bullemor
Max king
Nanai

I’m thinking max king as the other 3 all named to start so in theory can play 80 mins

(Happy for my logic to be proved wrong by more compelling case)

To not have one of Bully or Nanai in your starting team, you must have loaded up bloody heavily on your MID and EDG players haha!

But yes, MKing is who I would leave out with those guys based on your logic as well
