NRL Fantasy 2022 Part 20 - Tear your team apart for Cleary

It's setup for one if those games where the underdog wins.

I'd pretty much lock that in.

Up 3.41% ownership according to MTB, assuming that's post lockout being lifted. Vindicates my decision to sacrifice Arrow for him haha

Surely the decision to trade CLeary in or not will be vindicated by the score he gets, not the number of people that make the same decision?

I don't even understand if you think 3.41% is good because its a high number, or good because its a low number.

Imagine if the Titans go up 22-zip and the Tigers get their first try on the half-time buzzer. Then, the Titans curl up into the foetal position in the second half and the Tigers go on the tear to win it - with Brooks getting a banner as well.

As long as Fifi hat trick I don't mind

well yeah I'm obviously expecting Cleary to get a good score, that's why I'm trading him in at that price point, happy that only 3% of the competition is doing the same. Ownership isn't everything but it's still an important aspect when you're competing with other players

Leaves me with Starling starting and Randall/Clark as HOK cover.
God I can see it going so wrong though haha

It will be really interesting if Cleary scores around 45-50.. you will then have to weigh up whether to keep waiting for further price drops as his BE would be so high, or bite the bullet. Timing is everything.

Imagine the saltiness if Cleary does banner this week. Could season every chip in the world.

We would see approx 10% of the forum write a lengthy surmo and MF-esque (sorry MF) farewell before they ragequit. Would be an absolute bloodboth.

He's definitely going to score something like 45

This is quite a vivid imagination you have.

That sounds a no brainer, especially with Angus on the bench still and if Cleary goes huge

I'll take one for the team and be the one to have a mental breakdown if he scores 45

Yea not sure where the inspiration for such a tale comes from

And if Cleary scores rubbish it’s just another bad decision to compound the earlier bad ones. Then everyone else gets on when he’s around 900k or something

Good because it is a low number. If you are ranked 1,000 and have Cleary as Captain and he scores 130, while Haas scores 50, the vast majority of those ahead of you dont have Cleary and you gain ~160 points on them. Suddenly you are in the top 100.

TU: Play Ilias over Cleary

TD: Play Cleary over Ilias

Ahh fuck it might as well and hope for a banner from the king of banners

I feel like that could be said all year about the Tigers. I tipped them last week thinking that and won't happen again this year. Looking like a clear spoon team unless someone fucks up royally.

Cleary has scored under 50 once in each of the last two seasons. So it's possible. It's not massively likely.

For fans of team matchups, he played three times against the Rabbitohs last year, averaging 97.
