NRL Fantasy 2022 Part 36 - Battle of Hastings...Jazz vs Cheese

https://www.sharks.com.au/news/2022/04/27/the-coachs-mail---round-8/

Graham trained really strongly yesterday according to coach. Just has to get through captains run, Fitz seems to think he will most likely play. Says he will keep it up his sleeve as to whether he will start this week.

I'm sure that will throw a spanner in the works for the Broncos braintrust that studies the tapes and plans high-level strategies for upcoming opponents.

I haven't seen anything since TLT re Brodie?

That was really fascinating....after saying he would keep Graham starting up his sleeve, he continued to say that the left edge is really connected and playing well (after naming all of Talatalo, Wilton and Moylan), and then continued to say that he would like to stay consistent on that edge.

Reading between the lines, he is all but saying Wilton stays, Nikora going for Graham.

Haha yeah. I imagine the only people that care would be betting circles.

Wait, did he actually say Talatalo??

Everytime I hear Talatolo I think of Fetch for some reason

I think of cringe

I see Taumalolo everytime. Still convinced it's a typo.

Hmm.....Talakai does have the Broncs, Warriors, Canberra and Titans coming up.

TU: Randall + Burton to Tevaga + Hastings
TD: Randall + Leo to Cheese + Hastings

I'm getting Talakai this week cause I need a gun centre due to Burton being shit lol. Was set on Aitken but the calf news shook me abit so I'll get Talakai for an extra 20k.

Howdy Y'all,

Given the dearth of cashout/cows this year and the dire need of wizarding a Cleary trade from a bunch of spuds that are rapidly mouldering and losing value, anyone considering Ese'ese in the dreaded bench-middle role, pending the severity of Jolliffe's calf injury? Could easily be another Leo Thompson, but rare to have a guy who has posted season averages +/-40 at $240k. Obviously hugely dependent on opportunity and minutes, but:
Starters: MoFo has been playing 50-ish, Tino 60-ish,  and Liu 45-ish.
Bench: Proctor & Lisone only ever about 25 each, Joliffe 33, and Boyd as utility.

Jolliffe's injury - left calf distal soleus tear pending further scans; "Likely a few weeks of rehabilitation prior to returning to play" according to injury news. Maybe 4 weeks?

Proven motor and PPM, though I've never been fully aware why the fall from grace. 30 in 33mins career interchange average. Even taking Jolliffe's role, that's 27-30 points and better than a poke in the eye with a burnt cactus, right?


Any potential, or am I deluding myself?

I'm not savvy enough to know which half/ctr/wng combos he'd be up against, but wouldn't automatically assume playing a crap overall team means he has a field day though. I'm not convinced Sharks heavily favour the left side attack all the time, like say Souths did last season. They will go right when it makes sense to do so.

Locking in Nanai to Hastings

Is Mann or Mking to Tevaga worth the second trade?

I don't think Mking is a trade out just yet

Yeah mann the more obvious trade out, I can`t help thinking Mann to Tevaga is a sideways trade

I think youll find these four teams are running into some hot form

I think Ming is probably a hold until at least past round 13 surely
