NRL Fantasy 2022 Part 23 - Flegler is the real moreton bay bug

After today’s updates rank is 3554 I calculated I’m only 75 points outside top 1000 so still very tight.

813 .... dropped down to rank 12.6k

Main concern now is how much cash Amone is going to drop... I was going to trade in BroJo this coming week, but I think I'm going to be short a few k, anyone got some spare change?

Does D. Fifita to D. Brown sound like chasing last 2 weeks points too much?

Bludgers Rd. 4
906, dropped from 3500 to 3750 rank.
While I am still looking at ways to get Haas, the cows need time to fatten up. Even Koula the $220k place holder NPR should make a few k. 
Clifford could be on the chopping block, as Moses decided to go all Gun against the Dragons.
Damn I wish he'd play with that confidence every week. 
Unless something drastic happens, I'll be banking trades this week.

Yes.

Having gone on about not wasting trades and blah blah blah seriously considering getting May in for Aitken to get similar or better scores for 200k less plus cash gen and using the immediate proceeds to turn SWalker into someone useful like Teddy or Walsh (via Hynes) or maybe Wighton. Too profligate?

To be honest mate I was eyeing off Swalker as a potential Katoa replacement. Only a matter of time before he puts two solid halves together instead of just one

Yeah May is going to get 2 or 3 tries every week.

Always the way. One team's sell is another team's buy...

I've been patient with him... expecting rollercoaster scores but hasn't hit any heights, and the missed tackles and lack of KMs do smash his base. Goal-kicking was the huge plus, but (with Ted taking over vs Cowboys) they might finally have realised that he's unfixable at that. If I'm Trent Robinson I have Momo practicing kicking all week...

But, yes, if you're a non-owner he does look a potential value buy at a price bracket where there aren't any other halves.

That's not the point, is it? I said similar scores to Aitken, so c.45 average. That includes the 30s as well as the 60s. And he'll make another 150k quite quickly which Aitken, plodding along reliably, won't.

You were the one who sold Taumalolo because 40s were not good enough for "a 600k investment" when "guys half his price are scoring the same". You've obviously changed your thinking.

Can’t chase everyone mate I think he’s the one that got away for me. I’m not wasting trades side trading someone out when I could very well need that trade down the track. It’s a long year.

Saving some trades now will probably give me more ability to attack the bye rounds a little bit more and in the run home when others are running on fumes when there will be Covid drama, injuries, suspensions etc...... that’s when people will look back and say shit look at those 2-3 silly side trades I did in rounds 5 and 6 etc.....

Chasing cash by trading out Aitken and bringing in May seems a bit silly. If you could keep Aitken and bring May in another way then that would be awesome. But, if you are thinking Aitken isn't/shouldn't be in your team, and you're cool potentially May not being in the team moving forward (Staines was picked for a reason, even though it seems May could slot in), then go for it.

Fifita>Cleary seems the no brainer
But Gilbert>Cook/Murray gets Gilbert out of my team

Yeah, I said it seems profligate, will weigh it up.

Slight factor against Aitken is return of Tohu plus Aitken making it clear he doesn't want to go to Auckland. Could see him losing his spot or even changing clubs early, but that's speculation out of fantasy coaches' control.

In the interview about him leaving he said he was "just going to concentrate on playing my best footy for the next few weeks", which set off alarm bells that he wants to move this season not next, but might be over-reading things.

I considered that trade for the round just gone. May passed the eye test in his first game but in the end I just found it too hard to trade out a likely centre keeper.

Well done mate you’re on fire another very good score.

Cheers Rabs was a decent enough score but not enough to hold ground. Dropped ranks from 30s to high 170s. Seems like a lot of us took a hit this round.

Lesson learned. When I heard on here that Amone was going to be dropped I didn’t think it was going to be to the bench. Stuck him at 17 to loop a score in and was burned badly
