NRL Fantasy 2022 Part 19 - Do something Fifita!!!

Going from the guy that his coach and team mates can't get involved, to a guy you couldn't keep out of the action if you tried. Could be the best $62k I spend all season.

Sneaking him in while everyone else is tearing their teams apart to grab Cleary.

That seems a very reactionary trade. He's unlikely to play 77mins every week I would think and he won't be scoring a try every week either. Big mins against big teams in Storm and Roosters but probably not the norm? Probably averages where he is currently priced?

New coach, new captain, new shoulder, new role, potential for higher minutes under the new coach. We have been saying for a couple of years, when does Murray step up to play 80 minutes. The new coach may see it that way. Indications so far are that he is looking for him to play big minutes, finishing out the game, while getting up to match fitness following major surgery.

Not expecting him to score a try every week, but loving how involved he looks, both in attack and defence.

He is my pick of the guns so far this season.

Also while reasonably owned by casuals, at over 8%, in top 1,000 he is a huge POD at 2.8%.

Looking to have around 60 points in base, plus with how involved he is in both attack and defence, he is also getting a range of bonus points and attacking stats to fill the sheet up and keep the scoring high.

say no more

Ownerships won't be working for the moment. Re-running everything. Will be updated for round 3 in .. a while.

Not me, there will be other more appealing trade ins for sure.

Same Lisone is also massive POD at 2.08% in the top 5000

Anyone think he is a good idea to being in for some PODness?

If you want to catch those at the top, you need different players that can bridge the gap. No point having all the same players as those ahead of you.

I will not be trading in Starling at any point this season

There is a reason they are ahead of you

Yep, and it isn't that they have Cam Murray

Against arguably the worst team in the comp, and with injuries and suspensions

Trading out Fermor after round 1 could haunt me for the rest of the year. if he gets 50 he is almost at 600k already.

That was big reason for my Reece Walsh punt

After the first 3 weeks I still haven't learnt my lesson. The C is staying on Fifita for me..

Lolo can hang around

Choice of Crichton and Mahoney as guns to start really has bitten the Aardvarks.

Hard road back but last week was a positive move, if not all that I hoped for

Ohhhh bring out the violin aye, may the lord ave mercy!

Mad jack set for surgery, not promising for him

@NRL_Bulldogs
Not good news for Jack Hetherington. He has a bony bankart fracture of the glenoid. Basically his shoulder popped out and back in again. However, it caused significant damage on the way out. Will require surgery.

I take a different approach, I’d rather have a team that is 90% same as those ahead of me and rely on 2 pods, rather than hope my 17 selections are someone miraculously going to be better than theirs.

Poor bugger, shoulders are the worst
