NRL Fantasy 2022 Part 35 - Lest We Forget

I got SJ as a bit of a punt in R3, thinking worst case he’s a filthy midranger until after R13. But not if he ain’t kicking. Any insight from those who watched most appreciated.

In the dressing room before the game SJ looked a little tender and got his right quad massaged while standing(deep heat maybe?)

Papy has 2 sub-30 scores in his career at FB in full games

If he doesn't score a try instead of 1 try in 3 of his games this season he gets an 11, a score in the 20s and a score in the 30s, its going to happen. Scoring tries at a unsustainable rate, going to miss out some weeks.

Mulitano - Round 1 2022 - 19 fantasy points.

958 for me. 
My fun little anecdote is that I setup a loop for Lee and Coates (via Tago when Tuilagi was out).
I decided to take Lee if he goes over 30 while cursing Melbourne for not being the earlier game. 
Lee scores 31. So true to my word I lock it in (Coates only having exceeded that score once in five games this year).
Locked in when Panthers game starts. 
Then Lee downdates to an eye sore 29 - and naturally Coates 67.

TLDR I blame the scorers for their inaccuracies causing my poor decision.  (I don't really)

Cheers, naive of me to think SJ could last more than a month without a leg concern.

Will see what TLT brings but probably goes to the top of the trade outs list for me if he’s not the primary kicker

You really should try looking at the role they have. He played CTR, a role that is now filled by the unstoppable force playing 1 position inside him. Since then he has a low of 47, which was this week.

Papy scoring at unsustainable rate, but Mulitalo isn't?

.....and scored 2 tries lol.

sorry @mattnz, I always enjoyed your nutty fantasy professor adventures, but your zany experiments have gone too far in the quest of PODishness this time. Almost 1/3rd of the way through the season and you sold the only two WFB averaging above 50. It really is a tricky position this year, I have those two with Cleary and Haas as the 4 emergencies I will carry on bye rounds, season keepers if I have ever seen any.

I think he just wanted that brunette to rub his leg.

But Talakai Man! Papys weekly tries are unsustainable, meanwhile Talakai and Mulitalos weekly tries are very sustainable, because reasons.

Papy is scoring at 1.4 tries per game vs Mulitalo just 1.0 tries per game.

We don't need it. We're reminded of him enough already around here.

Hahahaha fair call

Im all for the Talakai banner, but Ponga went up late and deserves a few more days at the top

Nah, he can go up, fair is fair I guess lol.

Great scores all around the forum, especially those in the four digit department. Well done to all!! Papy thankfully pushed me past the 900 plateau for the first time this year. 912, w/o Talaki and some major subpar scoring from half my team.
