NRL Fantasy 2022 Part 33 - The return of the Hurrelcane, plus beans means HYNES

Hate to see my stats

Start the season at price of a fallen gun with hype around return to greatness. Spend the first half of the year bleeding cash and pissing off owners who sell on mass. Great performance through the bye rounds and a strong run home to start the cycle all over again the next year

In last NSW Cup game his post contact metres were 83. In context that's 12 more than most pcm player in Sharks vs Manly game last night

I agree with the sentiment but there is a reason to do this sometimes, and that's when you're selling a gun at a high price and getting another one that's cheap and going up.

For example, I sold Fifita to Hynes before round 3, when Fifita was 773k and Hynes was 661k.

That trade earned me 112k bank, and roughly the same scores, and since then Hynes has appreciated a lot in value while Fifita lost money and has now made it back.

That said, unless it's a situation like that where one gun is going down and another one is going up, selling guns is generally a bad idea. I sold Teddy this week to get Cleary in but I had planned to sell him over Origin anyway.

There’s a pretty big reason for that - the gulf in defensive quality is absolutely massive between NRL and reserve grade.

Full teams of Morgan Harpers lol.

Can’t read anything into it, other than Rushton is above NSW Cup standard. Which doesn’t mean he’s at NRL standard yet.

WT Winfield wrote:Yeah last week when I said the Rabbits are probably an unconvincing top 8 team still, I can't really see a line-up with Cook, Murray, Latrell and Walker when he's on struggling against those teams too much. Decent enough experience in the forwards and backs.. just the rookie HB problem, but other than SJ the rest aren't particularly experienced either.

Haas Paulo
Murray Yeo Frizell

Bench forwards options of Klemmer, Saifiti, Martin, Radley, Jurbo, Sims, Angus himself and probably few more I'm overlooking

Probably will play origin, but definitely not a certainty. Wouldn't at all be surprised if Freddy went with the forward pack I posted above, plus a bench of Papy, Martin, Saifiti and Sims/Radley (maybe even start Sims/Martin and have Murray come off the bench playing middle)

I traded Fifita to Hynes round 2
Anyways now we have a lovely app that shows trades and team value
There is no hiding and overall score at the end of the year is all that matters.
The rest is just a fun journey full of banter

Don't disagree with any of that but many Raiders fans would say lot of their firt grade forwards aren't at NRL standard. Ricky said as much in veiled terms regarding Rushton inclusion.

Nice work

The app doesn't really matter for me since I keep a spreadsheet of my trades anyway (meaning I can see all my trades and ranks going back to the start of 2019)

I know where you are coming from and it makes sense
But trading say a keeper in a tough position for one that is borderline and not much cheaper I will never understand

My thoughts at the time was it freed up cash to fix my starting team and Hynes was a keeper and hit the season flying. Took me 6 weeks to get a chance to bring Fifita back haha

It all works itself in the end and a bit of fun

You act like the only option was trading Fifita to Hynes. There are 20 other players in your squad and there would absolutely have been a better trade out than Fifita

WT2K wrote:Not really liking the options on offer for a Walters trade out. Down to lee or up to taaffe. Better off just holding the trade?


Edit. Sorry, didn't mention Talakai in my post.
