NRL Fantasy 2022 Part 13 - Rolled Coates

my tv broke wrote:Interchanges say Grant got subbed at 78th min and didnt play GP.. just a normal sub?

Ilias 6 tackles.. why so low? assume he defended at centre or wing?

Thus concludes my questions

I believe the word on Grant was that he was cramping up pretty bad - couldn't run anymore so he had to go.

Can't explain the Ilias thing. But yes, it is very low and I'm not sure why.

Sorry if it's already been asked, but take Paulo's score or play Ming?

Munster with -28 in demerits. Even the greatest negative players would struggle to hit that

Arrow kept the minutes, but was mostly on the EDG.

77 minutes total, including 5 minutes of overtime.

In the regular time he had 72 minutes, took 21 minutes from Koala and 20 from Host, so 41 minutes EDG, 31 mins MID. Spent more time in MID the previous week.

Was planning to bring him in all week, now pleased that I didn't

Yeah heard that about Grant too on 9.

Btw you and @Shadowsabre missed your tips for this game so far.

Interesting night, entertaining game in the end. A few things-

Started off a mad-with-excitement Grant owner, ended up a pleased Grant owner. I like owning him because he's unpredictable in a good way, and does things that I enjoy when I am not expecting it. But yeah, first game back, seemed to run out of steam. Happy owner, though.

Just on Bunnies in general - I don't think their defence is that bad at all. They did well to keep Storm at 14 points for so long. Their attack was horrid for most of the game, but a few things click and what happens happened. If and when their attack clicks, they may not be as bad as moments in the first two rounds suggest.

J.King - couldn't get him, but definitely looks to have been worth the while. I'd need an injury to a player of value to afford him, but probably still a pretty decent shout this week?

Pappy - very disappointing, but as above, Bunnies defence wasn't so bad. Looking forward to seeing him roam free against a weaker defensive outfit. But it hurts this week, especially in H2H matchup.

And just finally, on Ilias. I think a lot of teams will punt him this week, but I still want to see him against a friendlier opposition. Storm are the Storm and Broncos showed up last week, but I actually think he can probably string a few points together against a weaker opposition. Roosters and Panthers in next two weeks is going to make it very, very hard to hold onto him, but I'd be interested to see how he goes against the Saints. At this point, I genuinely have no idea what I'll do with him.

Yep, they had a weird bench rotation. None of the bench got more than 30 minutes and they didn't bring on Wishart until 2 minutes before the end of regular time, when it had been clear for 20+ minutes that Grant was spent.
J Brom could actually be fantasy relevant for a few weeks, if getting 50 in 60 minutes. Reliving his glory days.

Shit, thanks for the tip. That irritates me. I spent my entire train trip home this afternoon checking all my trades, Captains and VC as well as doing all my tips. 100% sure I did those tips too, so not sure what happened there. Can only think I forgot to click the "submit tips" button, but I doubt that. Either way, fuck. But thanks for letting me know or I'd have copped a 0 for the round.

No worries mate I thought you might both get Souths and 0 margin, so would've almost nailed it if the result went the other way haha. Checked the rules though and yeah looks like 0s for missed tips.

It's close, but I'd personally play Ming. Chance of beating it, small risk of losing a few points.

Is this guy considered a future gun? Ive never heard of him, surprised there is (fantasy) interest in a fringe benchie

He has an incredible highlights reel on YouTube (where he looks like he's playing against blokes half his size, but still.)

I actually saw him at woollies on the weekend (he lives 1 street over which I found out when his partner blew their bbq up a little while back causing a minor curfuffle in the area), he is still a big dude (same height as me but about twice, maybe three times, as wide) & I wouldn’t like to mention the origin streaker thing near him

Yeah he would still tear me apart like a hot chook

What was the Carter/Maloney record?

Pretty insane KM discrepancy - 623 to the Storm vs just 229 to the Bunnies. Certainly doesn't help Ilias.

No chooks in the trolley thankfully

Amazing that he hit 45 given that, without the demerits he would have been a very handy POD this week.

With those demerits, Munny is looking a capable POD.

pretty sure you were banging his drum early season and nailing himm into your side fella

Nah mate I was always cold on Paulo at centre as he doesn’t have the skill or temperament for it. He’s a winger mate.

Apologies for the silly question, if someone could look at my team tracker And advice how I set my interchange and emergencies to avoid ilias score, think I’ve done it right but not sure

My first time doing this villainous act

At least two of his three "errors" saved tries. Goes alongside ankle taps being "missed tackles" as my bête noir of fantasy scoring.

Why are you quoting Bryan Ferry albums?
