NRL Fantasy 2022 Part 16 - That's a Starling Choice

Well it is tough to say but Vailea was obviously in front of Arthars before Round 1 so that has to be considered with Vailea having a 3-4 week injury. But if Arthars can play well then they probably won't drop him. He looked decent with few chances on the weekend.

Was very vague rumour Arthars was carrying injury Rd 1. Don't quote me

Quoted

Leo Thompson: passes eye test BUT

Week 1: DSaf out
Week 2: Klemmer and DSaf out (Fitz injured in game)
Week 3+: Klemmer out

Week 1: 25 minutes, 15 points
Week 2: 38 minutes, 43 points
Week 3: ???

I'd suggest role/scoring would be closer to W1 than W2

Isn't Klemmer out 3-6 weeks? I know Sue coming back soon

So that would leave 90 minutes in the middle for a month while Klemmer is out.
I doubt they would get 45 each

Nanai, Bullemor and Thompson, unless there are changes to team lists.
I’d rate the others in the order of Walters, Ilias, Coates, Paulo.

Cheers. I listed them in the order I'd have them, so we are very close.

I think they maybe both are. However minutes going to be difficult in a fully fit Knights team... DSaf and Klemmer both 50 minimum, KMann an annoying 60+, JSaf 40 = 200 out of 240 middle minutes accounted for even at the lower end. Friz definitely plays 80 and Barnett probably does as well.

I have just gone through this for the past half an hour to see if I have missed something too
Its messy with the Mann,Randall,Crossland thing due to the versatility of them all

And what you mention above even if they swap with the saifitis then there is still 30mins minimum which should be enough
At worst he frees up more cash for options next week when things become clearer

I think the role/minutes lies somewhere in the middle, the week 2 score for Leo was helped by 3 offloads too

It had me looking back at a previous post I made on purpose purely for today
It said I wanted Sexton and Burton and it would depend on Bullemor playing so I had EDG cover
I don't have the cash for either this week but with him playing and realising Tago is and EDG DPP then it can happen

What are my fellow Angus owners doing?

TU: Hold
TD: Trade to Curran/Yeo

Anyway, don't listen to me, I'm thinking about bringing in Jack Hetherington. I was considering him pre-season because DPP and the Dogs rate him highly and he does have talent beyond the madness and should score 40s on the edge, but didn't take it any further because:

1) He's Jack Hetherington, you idiot

2) Loading means he misses four weeks with the first indiscretion

3) Could lose spot with return of RFM


With the disciplinary slate wiped clean and TPJ moving to the middle (plus RFM injury setback) his job security is now excellent, so only the first condition remains.

Think I’ll just do Amone to May this week. Too much to ask for Tago like scoring on that left side?

Not urgent. BE of 15. Nek minnut Milne out injured and he's back in again.

Haha there hasn't been a party yet this year has there?
Solid points, wasn't paying attention about the loading wipe

4) TPJ is the other edge player returning from injury and missing the first game because of it.
Also a hot head so helps hetherington's job security further haha

He was in most of my drafts too. Good player, good opportunity.

I'll run Bulle 1 more week then probably go there

Party? This would surely deserve a Milf-syle club/thread.

Its not just DSaf and Klem that come into it. Barnett is a big minute MID, who is now starting EDG with Fitz out for a few weeks. Totally changes the bench rotations and minutes expectations.
Week 1 - Barnett 48 mins off the bench
Week 2 - Barnett 72 minutes as starting prop, with Fitz injured after 38 minutes. He already had a first stint of 30 minutes at prop.

I am here to have fun, and someone at that price with DPP and first round bye could be well
Fun.

Haha sure why not

Thoughts on edits?

Rumours that Franklin Pele has signed with WT for 23

Well the Saifitis are big minute props and the knights you could argue had blown out the oppostition by then
Also Randall and Mann can both play 80mins too

Rhino you might just be a super genius.

J. Saf - has only been playing 36 and 46 minutes, even with the injuries these first 2 weeks. They seem to be relying on the bench, not increasing his minutes.
D.Saf - first game of the season back from injury

The bench players have done a good job to start the season and the team is 2 from 2, despite being down on troops, due to these guys stepping up and performing well.
