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

half of football against Morgan Harper.

Talakai was averaging over 60 at CTR this season before taking the field against Harper for a banner. Shouldn't focus on the 1 game.

Can probably grab Jazz next week if he looks good again, probably not too late still.

Only reason I'm going Jazz before Hastings is that Jazz has a shorter shelf life to make his cash, as I don't see him as a keeper (Tohu + Curran returning), whereas Hastings will likely be at least a cut-price keeper so the price rises aren't as important.

So has Jarrod Croker (3-game sample)

So has Morgan Harper himself lol

Some rumours that Jones might be fit to play this week. Sunday game, so gives some extra recovery time at least.

Averaging 36, he should make another 54k over 3 games and peak at a little over 500k, so potentially another 80k in him. Probably around the Rd 13 bye that he doesn't play.

Staggs has a 3-game average in the 60s *right now*.

Mate, what an excellent point. Jeez, that makes me think.

Hastings BE of 8 and Tevaga 15, but 35K more expensive. I guess what you're saying really makes sense. If they both get around 50, Hastings will be $550 and Tevaga $575. Hmmm.....

My other trade in Starling with a 50 goes up to $660, I'd can justify $629, just but more than $650, probably not.

I can't believe I'm thinking Tevaga, I had zero interest in him 2 days ago, is the NRLFF echo chamber in full swing once again here?

This forum is much higher on Tevaga than the rest of the fantasy world is.
0.73% bringing him in this week, (about 20th most popular this round), taking him to 1.1% ownership. Will be a massive POD. We are either really right, or really wrong on him.

Yeah I think Matt was right in that you probably have to get Jazz this week or not at all. I'm fingers crossed that he can make close to the 150k at the conclusion of Rd 13, but ~40k of that will come this week if backing him to hit the 50 average.

TMM is much more popular in the outside world than he is on here. So - judging by a lot of people saying it's too late - is he who cannot be named.

Hastings seems more popular on here.

haha i am the same.

I am also interested in Hastings, but I haven't seen the Tigers games since he returned, so i just see two scores in the 50's that literally anyone in the comp can put together at some stage. I guess if it wasnt for some of the better fantasy judges on here grabbing him then I wouldn't have noticed him at all.

My fear with Hastings is that Tigers just revert to shithouse, but also Brooks just starts being Brooks again and getting in the way/taking more ball/kicks/etc.

Agree, Hastings would be #1 pick here, would estimate Tevaga is likely still top 3. At least Tevaga has gun keeper score pedigree, unlike TMM.

That's a valid point, even though he is a potato, he's had the run of scores to back it up given time on the field.

He likes a concussion or injury though, that's my concern.

Haven't really watched Hastings closely, but Tigers on a whole do look a lot better. At his price, one more game to watch can't hurt.

Also depends on if you want both Tevaga and Hastings. If you only want one, and position doesn't matter, probably just get Hastings. I ideally want both, so getting Jazz now, Hastings next week.

Sounds like your gut says to let him go through to the keeper. Decent chance it's not wrong.

Did they average 60 for 3 games, then produce a banner?

Mattnz- the forums spokes person. Jees your swagger has gone off the charts after a few good calls! Love to see it, although when Hynes and Pap continue to gun it and sharks flop I’m interested to see the pendulum swing

Not so sure Hastings is the #1 pick here personally.

Let’s decide it with an old fashioned tu/td.
Whose a more urgent trade in this week? (Position cover aside)

TU - Jazz
TD - Hastings

Jazz an easy avoid for me. 4 weeks max in the role, history of putting together a few good scores then shitting the bed, has played over 60 mins 3 times in the last 3 years.
