Re: NRL Fantasy 2022 Part 32 - My Shitto and your Shitto were sitting by the fire....

Talakai only averaged 3 TBs a game at CTR and never ever got to double digits before he knocked out 17 in one game and became the form CTR of the competition.

Maybe Ponga now goes on to become the form FB of the comp and keeps those numbers up.

I did it to avoid a disastrous score from Bullemor. Surprisingly okay trade.  

Bit of a dud game last week. 20 at half time then just 4 points in 27 minutes.

Think I'll probably play him again this week and hope he gets through more work. I have to play either him or Ilias, not exactly spoilt for choice am I lol.

He had a disallowed try last week. The other edge is where it all happens for manly.

Is Rushton a Leo mk2?
I guess he is entry level priced so a cheap red dot worst case

He plays Prop and Lock(70 mins) in NSW Cup so thinking 1st bye minutes with Papa to Origin

Rushton gives me Kai O'Donnell vibes.

Ok 50pts is probably a keeper at WFB this year, fair enough wasn't sure if you were talking 60 like 2021 To'o
Can he play for QLD and the kiwis?

He was ruled ineligible for QLD.

I remember when gas was well over $2, but I had to fill the tank because I was worried it was going up even more.
Now weeks later I have a full tank of gas but the price of petrol is only $1.50, and it's not like my car goes any faster either
So in spite I walk everywhere now, even in the rain while people drive by me
If only I had bought it at $1.20 way back, I wouldn't care what the price ended up and would enjoy driving around more with everyone else

I swear Nicoll-Klokstad is going to make his way out of my team soon. He has survived by the skin of his teeth 4 times now. The thing is, I have Cleary so it does not really matter.

Could you have traded CNK instead of Mann? Surely with him on the bench he is a sell.

my hot tip is that Xavier Savage is actually playing fb.

If Rushton goes well this week I’ll just go Billy Smith to Rushton next week.

I still feel like in the next few weeks for whatever reason Tass will come in and could be a regular in our team.

I think he is just enjoying fending off outside backs instead of forwards, and finding them easy to bump off one on one in space, instead of being gang tackled in the middle of the field.

No not enough slack. I do not really need Mann. He is not getting the minutes to be a keeper and it is unlikely he will. I already have a lot of other halves and he does not really rate enough the displace other MIDs. I think it is better to have Cleary than Mann and he could undo all of that money he has lost with a decent score this week.

Haha all I’m saying is we shouldn’t be discouraging players from buying Ponga after a boom game when some bought Talakai off of one boom game and then arguing a different perspective because that player isn’t in their plans or in their team.

Just doesn’t help the newbies who I’m sure lurk here if they know what’s good for them

That’s why I only used his games at CTR for those stats I understand they are slightly different positions.

I could see Rapana playing there on defence and Savage at fullback on attack.

Rapana wasn't fit enough to play a full game at fullback last season.

Sense, the sin bin was fine, they were committing the infringements cynically

I haven't noticed anyone discouraging Ponga, he's a good price (cheaper than a cronulla winger too)
Might even get him next week

I can do

Papenhuyzen ==> Cleary
JoKing ==> Rushton

though

Perhaps that is a better bet

I expect that Mulitalo can average 50+ this season in this years Sharks with Talakai inside him. Previous stats are irrelevant to his current set of circumstances in an inferior team with a different center next to him.

Looks like both Mulitalo and Talakai will be available for Kiwis this season. Can't wait!

What's going to be really annoying is when Talakai is dropped out of CTR for one of their real outside backs and that happens to tie in with Mulitalo's scores dropping, which I think will be totally unrelated, and you will then be able to say hah I had that loop hole in my argument all along that he will only score well with him there

I’ll definitely be having a look next week if all goes well. 
It usually doesn’t though haha
