NRL Fantasy 2022 Part 15 - dropping fantasy points for fun

I've got the cash to go bully to Starling. Just means Mad King and Plod King get promoted into the 13

Broncos left edge defence was fairly week yesterday... hopefully Cows can identify that and get Nanai some earlier ball.

If Mbye gets a few weeks at HK for the Dragons in Macca's absence he'd make an interesting bit of CTR/WFB cover'n'cow at 347k

Is Jayden Sullivan fit for the dragons. likely to get a run if McCullough isn't fit?
Perhaps off the bench with Mbye starting

Last I read McCullough wasn't too bad and may even play this week so probably not worth looking at.
Have McCullough in a private NearlySport comp so juts keeping a close eye on what might happen there

Mitch Dunn (ACL) out for season

I think Starling can wait week. Only got 38, whose to say that will improve?

Poor bastard.

Not sure if he's been mentioned but does that make Gilbert an option?

Think there were a few that got on him this week after his try scoring 67 in round 1 only to be greeted by a 24. Still got the same minutes though

Injuries & suspensions round 2:
Dunn - acl season ending
Hodgson - season ending injury
To'o - high grade mcl 6-8 weeks
JFH - scans show muscular damage left shoulder time out tbc
McCullough - cleared of elbow dislocation could be up to 2 weeks out
Cotric - quad strain 2-3 weeks
Watson - right shoulder subluxation - Roosters said he could of played if needed
Mulitalo - head knock failed HIA - short turn around so won't play (like Tuilagi)
Fitzgibbon - suspected mcl injury at best 3-4 weeks
Tualagi - as per MS
Hastings - 2 week suspension
Wilton - 1 week suspension

BREAKING: Police to interview Dragons star Burgess over ‘sexual touching’ allegation

Think imma trade Tuilagi -> Rjenno (assuming he gets the spot) which then frees up enough cash for Bully -> Starling

Was already a bad signing, just got worse

Would like to get Starling but Trevilyan played 23 mins leaving Starling only 57 mins. If it was 10/70 mins I'd be keener

I haven’t had a chance to look closely, but MKing and Starling look like the obvious first two trades of the season.

Working out who makes way is tricky … so many candidates for the cut.

He averages 55.8 in 71 minutes as starting hooker in 11 games of NRL. So there's that.

Alternatively, games over 50 minutes about evenly split between hooker or interchange, averages 50.1 in 64.4 minutes.

Not sure what the magic number is currently, but he's priced high 20's-30. Seems a solid pick now he has job security. Playing first bye doesn't hurt.

Hmmmm, seems like a bad idea but throwing it out there anyway....Mahoney to Starling to start that Cleary bank

Between 50 and 70 mins as a starting hooker he's got 4 games at an average of 45, with scores of 38 (57 mins), 45 (53 mins), 31 (70 mins) and 66 (70 mins), but in that 66 he had two tries and a line break.

Between 50 and 70 mins off the bench, he's got 7 games at an average of 45.1, though 2 of those games had tries.

Between 70 and 80 minutes starting, he's got 8 games at an average of 60

Basically, as long as Trevilyan is on the bench, I don't think Starling is worth spending two trades on.
