NRL Fantasy 2022 Part 21 - Nothing but Cleary

Any idea on what JoKing’s minutes are likely to be? Grant barely got to 60 minutes (pre COVID). Will he be a starting prop or come off the bench?

Yep, I'd say Wilton remains a massive POD for the season if he retains an EDG spot. Will be well over $600k and ignored by most, who will be focused on getting Cleary.

I was looking at moving Lolo on in the next few weeks and tbh I might as well keep him

Same. The longer the week goes, the more I think him to Cotter/Gilbert is sideways and will only really end up with a net gain of ~40k this week after gains/losses and likelihood is cotter/gilbert will need trading out sooner rather than late anyways. I think if the moves to be made, it needs to be for someone who plays Rd13 also.

Ultimately it comes down to 2 things: how much is a trade worth to you, and will the potential loss on Lolo cost you getting in Cleary

I still feel my Kings need to be played as a pair of Kings.

Which likely means Nanai misses out. A bit stiff after a 62, but thems the breaks.

I'll be shitting myself not owning Wilton

Captain Hynes or Haas hmmmm. Opponent in my h2h doesn't have Hynes this week so could be a risky play or could pay off massively... any thoughts?

I see Cowboys actually play Rd13, my bad.

Now the question is who would I rather in my team for the next 8 rounds out of the 3. I think Gilbert's DPP wins out.

Didn't this forum massively vote Graham would replace him when back?

Who's going to tell Fitzgibbon we've selected his team for him

Managed to get Cleary already by fixing my gun mistakes over the last two rounds so that doesn't come into it for me, but totally agree that any move to one of the other Cowboys forwards (or the other likely candidates) feels very sideways.

I'm not sold on anyone mentioned this week being a long term prospect or great value....we might see some more clarity on roles and minutes flow out of this round, or we might not .

You mean the 97% that don't have him and have a vote that counts in what the coach decides to do with one of their star performers to start the season?

must have a hell of a team benching Nanai

Have a bit of a headache in my reserves. Which two would you choose out of Clarke, Thompson, B Jones or MKing?

If the answer isnt Clarke, you want to be using that cash elsewhere.

Oh, he would have been gone a while ago but have had other more pressing trades to take care of. Hopefully next week.

Simpler question, Jones or Thompson?

Someone's got their business face on

Maybe I am just not rating him enough. The huge demerit game spooked me a little so im favouring middle men like the Kings over guys like Nanai and Tuilagi. Actually considering putting in Nanai and taking out Tago. Ive clearly lost my mind. I just think the Roosters get up and humble the Cowboys. They would be hurting after the shock loss to Souths, they are a far better football team than that and they know it. Expecting a bloodbath.

Think I'm going to send
Mahoney and Sexton to Cleary and Jones. Didn't want to lose Sexton but have no real other options other than Fifita.

If I was to wait for a Gilbert to get up to the price I require to get Cleary it will be Round 8 or 9 and that's alot of points lost.

Jones 100% -  MKing is my 19th man.

Having flipped my trades (now Fifita & Watto > Cleary & BroJo)
Mad Max is one of my starting Middles.
