NRL Fantasy 2022 Part 25 years without parole for Payne Haas

I can see the NRL in their infinite wisdom stupidity suspending Haas and Kelly. Then they will need to address May. I hope not I have two of them.

I blame the Fresh Prince

Daylight savings over, time to face the reality that night games don't start til 8pm. Why do this

Absolutely hate the Thursday timeslot.

Ah fuck.....

Thumbs up: trade Josh King/Lolo (and which one) to Cleary this week & miss May
Thumbs down: trade Tuilagi to May this week & then J King to Cleary next

Already trading Sexton to Papy. Was keen to sell Lolo and until he scored 61 and now I'm tempted to hold until Rd 13. And thinking May would be hold through origin & possibly a keeper to play on match-ups if he outs Staines (he definitely makes my 17 for the next few weeks)

AFB owners, what are you doing? I'd rather him not play and I'd hold him since Koula is out and I've cooled on Haas.. I could use a single trade and bring in Lolo or Cotter for him but that's pretty sideways.

If he does play though, we know he's scoring 39 this week.

Sad to see you guys wrap it up. I've just gotten into listening some of the podcasts this season, but I respect the decision. Family has to come first.
I guess we will still see around on the forum

Who's got the highest ceiling of JKing, Walters and Jones?

Probably Jking to Cleary, but with the pending Haas suspension you may want to hold of on that trade. I would personally keep Tuilagi for a bit longer.

Koula out really throws a spanner in some works that had lined up nicely. Unfortunately Katoa is about to spew cash and has to go, but there aren't many other cheap options available, and definitely none that would allow JoKing to Cleary next week.

What a pita. Tempted to grab Koula anyway and hope that he does indeed come straight in next week... ugh.

Brodie Jones is about the next best option but I'm not sure how I feel about that. If I go that route I may as well accept that i have to trade Sexton to Cleary and pull that trigger this week..

Yep same issue. Don’t really want May and already have Jones. Might have to take a risk on bloody Walters? Pretty close to just grabbing Sam Walker and hope he goes over a few times with this ridiculous draw. Also don’t have any roosters and would be nice to watch him run around this Friday. Haven’t missed a game at Suncorp yet this season!

If you aren't playing a guy worth 650k why bother owning them? Move him on or get him into the 17

Koula off the table means I’m back down to 1 CTR or 1 WFB (Critter can move around)

Amone can’t stay in the team this week as he’s bleeding cash big time. So which cheapie around the 400k mark would you trade him too so I can field 17 or would you say screw it and bring in a Jones/Tuilagi/Walters and play 16

I'm rolling the dice with Koula. Like you said Katoa (and Amone for me) has to go and Koula looks first up for an injury in the backs + will play over origin period when Turbo gets a rest. Doesn't seem like a season long red dot even if he isn't useful right away

Plus I really like looking at Cleary captain

I don't think I can go with Walters. I'll probably be wrong, and he'll stick around forever, but I just don't think he lasts as a 6. I don't know why Gamble hasn't been selected as it is.

I think Kevy is worried about the criticisms last year re chopping and changing, and he's now trying to pick and stick for the sake of it.

At that price range you are hoping for a try scoring run. Olam, Cotric, Mbye look the best options to me

Today in "Coach's will always talk up their players", Des speaks highly of Koula for a couple of mins in his coach's media - https://www.seaeagles.com.au/news/2022/04/06/coach-media-des-hasler/

Of course, the same afternoon he was ruled out of the match. Maybe pulled up sore after captains run, but usually these media sessions are done after the captains run (at very least, they are always that way at the Broncos, and I think that is an NRL requirement)

Yeah they all look pretty uninspiring haha. I probably would have gone May before all of this police business.

I liked what I saw in the first half as well. Seems more likely to score 30s than 20s

Any more news on May? Something about assault? I was gunna chase cash this week, is this a bad idea now?
