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

I've been Burton's biggest advocate and defender on here, but waking up to the score and reading all y'all comments has me reconsidering.

Could be looking at Burton > Crangus and swapping Tago to CTR next week. I just think Burton needs to be trying harder despite the low scores to stick around. I know he's probably got a 70+ score in him on a good day, but those will be far too few and far between to be worth it.

If Crangus (new fav word) can beat Burton by 10pts a game (should be piss easy) than it's worth trading Burton even if he scores 50 in R13 (he won't).

Hetho’s putting up keeper scores week in week out, absolute gun!!

my tv broke wrote:Well after 50 mins that was looking dire..not sure if something specific was said but there was a pretty clear change in intent around that 50 min mark. Good to put on some points there, hopefully we can take some momentum and confidence into next week..

Hopefully Haas is all good. From bronx fan point of view mainly. But also fantasy

If he's not Kevvy should be shot, was still out there when the game was over.

TPJ owed like 20 points. I'm actually ropeable

Hadn't thought about selling Burton before but there's little to justify keeping him right now.

Still doing okay for CTR standards but a Tago and Aitken combo should suffice and Burton can be upgraded to a gun or downgraded to free up much needed funds.

Why was Haas still on the field at the end of the game? Surely Kevvy should have taken him off when they were 14 up? Hope hes alright today

Dumped Hetherington this week, they could have multiple HIA's and Kevvy would still give him 40min

Burton might be a trade out to a WFB for me if I get super desperate but will probably hold till 13.
Entertained Jackson as an alternative to Lolo but stuck with him.

With Burton a potential out it makes what I do this week tricky.  I was hoping there's news on Pap but I doubt we get any.  Team is;

Cook
Yeo Mann Ming
Fermor Aitken
Cleary Schneider
Burton Penis
Hynes Crichton Pap

Randall Jing Tago Nanai

Ilias Leo Koula Vailea

Team is looking pretty ordinary but my ranking is still okay. (at the start of the round).  Not sure if I;

1. Nanai/Jing to Taafe/Tolo

2. Ilias/Jing to Lee/Tolo

3. Jing to Tualagi and then have 140K to use and do something with Burton next week. Loop Ilias and Nanai and hope Pap plays.

Was thinking about attacking round 13 but when you got guys like Burton scoring like that, it hardly seems worth it.  Need another gun but not sure do that now and get someone next week through Burton.

Ive gone king to Tulagi. Think he is the best downgrade/cow option right now.

other than TMM, which i got talked out of.

Cheers mate. I'm thinking that's the sensible play this week and reasses next week. TMM could definitely be a good option, but he won't play the Dogs every week.

People tried to talk me out of Talakai a few weeks ago. If you think that a trade is the right move, have the courage of your convictions to make the trade.

Having said that, there was no evidence that TMM was going to go well at fullback. At least with Talakai it was on the back of an outstanding fantasy game.

I think everyone was surprised at how well TMM played this week. He had never scored more than 38 at fullback before now and had a low 20s average, about where he is priced.

I will be amazed if TMM outscores Tuilagi this season.

I know, just trying to get a rise out of loomer.

Would have loved if Matt was actually in Risk Management and his fantasy tactics were just how he got his cathartic release.

I was spectacularly wrong on this one. Based on this everyone should buy Taaffe

Be good to get some manly injury updates

Dropped 4000 spots so far this week, and with only 2 players today expect to lose a fair few more spots. Sunday's games better be high fantasy scoring affairs.

Is Brodie Jones still a buy? Priced at 27 and seems nailed on for a 40. Just not sure I like it as a straight-trade from Leo, but LT's price rises are peaking and BJ could still make $200k with a 40 average.

And who doesn't love a BJ?

You know better than to base it off 1 game though mate. TMM's BE was 39 apparently, so not like he's gonna be bringing in the cash unless he can keep those scores up. Will be basically priced the same next week if people think he can. I guess if Pap's out, he could've been useful this week.
