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

Will he require headgear when he returns?

If he does I actually have the perfect thing at work. A patient made us a plastic big black cock with an end that fits into our massage gun at work as a joke. It has been our version of “elf on a shelf” as we take turns putting it in each other’s bags or compromising spots in their offices etc

Would look good on top of klem’s ken doll, but he’d have to play with a pitched tent

I'm currently making that trade. Clark has been a plodder as expected, I think Starling can average 8-10pts more than him for basically the same price

Yep and the trade needs to be made this week.

Keep Starling. Clark is rubbish

Wow I went to upvote this to acknowledge it and downvoted you back

Did we just become mortal enemies? The new random and MF?

Clark's rubbishness IRL was mentioned quite a few times in the preseason, but a few on here recently have also said Starling isn't that great IRL either. I guess the difference is their fantasy output now that Hodgson is out.

We can be mortal enemies till I require injury advice

So that Angus>Haas pick really coming back to bite me in the ass now. Seems those in a similar spot are swapping for Yeo, anyone just going to wait it out?

On a related note, my team is busted. Thinking of going rogue and doing stupid things, starting off with trading in Lodge

I don't think he's great IRL but that's more about his service and options than anything fantasy related. More a response to people assuming he should be playing instead of Hodgson because he can amass a better fantasy score. Now that Hodgson isn't an option I'll be all over Starling whether he can pass from dummy-half or not.

Whats everyones thoughts on ponga? Will he be back to 100% or still a bit risky with his injury? I do like his price though and the knights are on!!

Not with first grade but guys. Any info isn’t straight from the horses mouth. One of the physios at work is with them though so info is more picked up after being spat out of the horses mouth

And minutes re Thompson or crokes for example is my opinion, far from gospel

Also we do get told when things aren’t allowed out like ponga last week or edrick Lee last year for example

In other news brailey is back running already on the alter G treadmill and looking good for a likely June return. Plenty of time for Randall who has been great

In the past you have been on the money, happy to take any insights that you have. They are the closest we will get to knowing what is happening.

Wait, so you're not prepared to be a scapegoat for our failing fantasy teams?

I thought Starling looked pretty good IRL. What's the issue there?

Was brilliant for fantasy for a few years, absolute dog shite IRL. Chucking pies left, right and centre

First four, easy.

Is Watto Watson? If so the first 3 are no brainer and you put Koula 4th to choose Leo or loop Nanai. If Watson out then the 4 pick themselves I guess

Ya leave that as it is

Thanks for the feedback.
Watto is Watson.
I'll leave it as is and hope Nanai goes large again.

If he’s out, Koula is likely to take the vacant bench spot.

It wont matter if he starts, its the last game and your loop should have completed by then


Actually thats wrong. Ignore the above....
