NRL Fantasy 2022 Part 25 years without parole for Payne Haas

Koula out is not such a problem, it just means I can double lop now instead. Pity none of my emergencies fill me with much confidence.

Could go for Cotter instead? Minutes might be a problem but he passes the eye test with flying colours, he just rips in.

Was actually tossing up Cotter vs. Mann earlier but no one gave any feedback.
The minutes are what scared me off - Mann seems to have his role pretty much locked up, especially with the Knights forward pack injuries and suspension. 
I do like the look of Cotter though, on my watchlist.

talking about Tevita... he may be a trade in next week for me if Haas is getting a ban.
Will see how things pan out

Yeah I am looking at him and Cotter, starting to turn an eye to the byes rounds.

I am starting to wonder if Cotter isnt just the kind of dynamo that gets a shock call up to a Maroons squad that is sparse for forward talent and with a history for throwing hail mary hopes at relative rookies.

Cotter and Radley probably have similar Origin chances* and are similar prices, and Radley is a much better player playing much bigger minutes in a much better team. However Cotter is flavour of the month here. Radders has started running the ball again... I'd bring him in if it fitted my situation, but it doesn't. Only thing Cotter has over him is DPP.

(I'd definitely pick Radley on the bench for Origin (with Murray 2RF), but realistically Yeo and Murray are ahead of him and Yeo will be 13 and Murray bench, so might be no place for him if all fit.)

Any news on the Haas punishment or no punishment?

Yeah I think Cotter has been earmarked for a Maroons jersey. The guys on the nrlfantasy amateurs podcast had some insider info

last I heard was punishment, but likely to be next week as they haven't finalised the investigation.
I'm sure we'll find out more tomorrow

On the podcast front... bad news that OTL is taking a break because they actually have lives. That was always the podcast you wouldn't mind marrying your daughter, as opposed to all the other reprobates out there.

That explains why it didn’t drop tonight. Thanks very much.

Just seen the tweet. I'm not really a podcast person but made sure to give them a listen

Damn it. I was all set to bring him in this week. I had better go Storm chasing then.

Yep. @rectangle on here is one of them.

Yea, thanks for the shout. Was fun ride, if timings can work again around the everyday life we’ll come back. Thanks to the people who listened over the years

Gotta make sure the twig and berries are in good shape mate !

I can still do it to get Cleary but then I may have Haas, B. Smith and Koula as red dots next week, 3 red dots is an issue isn’t it? Man I’m so torn.

Yes I just heard mate and it’s saddened me greatly love the pod.

I don’t fuck around with Roosters forwards . Agreed that Radley is a much better player playing much bigger minutes in a much better team, but that doesn’t mean he will give me more fantasy points. I love watching Radley play and it would be fun to have him in my team, but this is a tacklebots game and I deal in the cold hard bankable currency of Ts. Think ive been sold on Cotter since Welshy called him a Tasmanian Devil and I havn’t been able to escape the image of him whirling around the field tackling players, refs and goalposts for thousands of fantasy points. Just not certain on the role and minutes.

Went out on top though. Thanks for the excellent work, will miss your content.

You don't know Koula is still a red dot next week? Had a cork, short turnaround.

And you don't know Billy Smith is a red dot next week? Due back round 6. Might not get back in the team, but who knows?

For that matter you don't *know* that Haas is out next week. When has one journo ever been wrong before?
