NRL Fantasy 2022 Part 39 - How big is yours?

wolfking wrote:Can anyone see the best way for me to get Hastings?  Probably gonna keep Cook, that was crazy talk I think....is it?  My team;

Cook
Ming Yeo Jing
Fermor Aitken
Cleary Schneider
Tago Penis
Pap Scritta Hynes

Randall Starling Burton Nanai

Ilias Leo Koula Vailea

Only 5K in the bank.

A.  Cook and Ilias to Tolo and Hastings (again probably dumb selling Cook)

B. Ilias and Schneider to Tass and Hastings (lose a round 13 player though)

C. Penis and Ilias to Tass and Hastings. (Dont like selling Penis though)

Trying to gun for round 13 but Hastings a must by the looks.  B is probably the smart play here regardless of 13. But if I'm missing something any thoughts would be grand.  Can't do much with Jing as Leo my only MID cover.  Tough one.

B. Would think Hastings scores more pts up to and including R13 than Schneider.

Why so much love for Adam Elliott?

Got extra mins last week due to CHN’s HIA and golden point. Are we expecting 20 mins at hooker and 30 mins at lock?

Unfortunately can't go Ilias to Hastings in the 1 trade. Whoever I choose will go large

Yeah sorry, didn't realise Hastings went up so much. Realised it was a stupid question after, rare to have 200k just laying around.

Wouldn't be too worried about any of those 3 going too large though.

I gladly punted Nanai last week, but definitely bought himself some time for the people that held. One of the reasons was him being a Rd 13 player.

Bulldogs King has the better average of the 3 and should keep plodding along.

Bellamy might be happy to keep playing JKing big minutes, but I keep expecting they'll drop off soon. BSmith hasn't staked his claim yet, but Kamikamica is due back from suspension next week too.. and then not playing Rd 13.

40 averages from Nanai and Bulldogs King is as good as a 50 average over the next 5.

Thanks mate. Yeah gotta look past that bye round sometimes I think.

I like B, personally. Decent chance they both give you more points anyway even when factoring in one less rd 13 player.

Beaten to it

Cheers Toast. It's the smarter play too to try and get more cash gen and a potential underpriced keeper. I think Tass keeps his spot too, hopefully.

I am thinking

MKing ==> Crichton
Mann ==> Tedesco

Not without risk but bringing in two keepers (hopefully) not too worried about R13 at this stage. I would prefer Josh Jackson than Crichton but will have to make do

Leaves me with 17k and

Grant
DWalker Papalii Ricotta
Tuilagi Nanai
(C)leary Hastings
Tago Crichton
Tedesco Papenhuyzen Hynes

Randall Crichton Schneider Ilias
Walters Koula Lee Rushton

Any thoughts?

The Elliot plan kind of falls apart as soon as Starling starts and plays 80 again, doesnt it?

He needs to start every week to be worth a pick up. And with Rikcy you just never know

He could get the starting 13 role i suppose. While raiders are losing tho the lineup changes every week

Kamikamica available from next round for the Storm.

I am a regular at the arse end of the FOG but I'm not too fussed. I don't post massive amounts but I like the characters on here, learn weird stuff all the time and just enjoy some internet hours where people aren't trying to rip each other to shreds. It's quite good on here, that's all.

My main fantasy focus is on private nearlysport comps, but I post more about fantasy because I enjoy the community here. If we survived the early years of Fanhub and the app never working I think we have a few years left in us yet.

FalconSloth wrote:Choosing between Supercoach and Fantasy is a really easy decision. Fantasy is better looking, better scoring system, better player price rise system and is a better product all round. If there was no fantasy I don't even know if I would play supercoach. I just really dislike it as a product and I don't think there would be any point in me playing it when I can just watch the games as a fan. That said watching the game with a fantasy eye brings a new perspective and is very enjoyable.

VSDT (Dream Team) was the original game on NRL.com, and IMO it's better than SC.

If VDST dies, then I would have to choose between SC and NRLF, and I don't like either of them (for different reasons).

It's true (whoever said it) the lack of cheapies is forcing us to take punts on guys like elliott

After surviving the great Fanhub debacle of 2014, I'm convinced that the forum could survive a nuclear war.

I hope it doesn’t ‘fall apart’ because I picked him up last week. Needed decent mid cover with the Mann news and he was a straight swap for Leo Thompson who has just about expired and doesn’t play R13.

He won’t be in my 17 barring other outs and will hopefully be another warm body for R13. Worst case he is more playable than Leo if needed. Best case, makes $100-$150k, gets me 50 points in R13 and he can become a R17 player after that

My opinion is don't force cheapies. If you are going to trade in someone cheap for the sole reason that they are cheap just don't because they are so hard to move on.My punt on Tevaga was dumb but worst case scenario I have 550k+ to work with to get someone else with.

Appreciate the feedback. Some good points to take into consideration and narrows it down to Nanai or JKing for me.

Yes and he's priced at 27pts

Article says despite dropping of the charges they still punished him for bringing game into disrepute

"The NRL has hit Melbourne Storm forward Tui Kamikamica with a nine-match ban and $10,000 fine in the wake of his assault trial despite charges being dismissed by the Brisbane Magistrates Court.

After police charged Kamikamica with assaulting a 30-year-old woman outside a Fortitude Valley establishment in November last year, he became subject to the NRL’s no-fault stand-down policy and was unavailable for selection in games.

Charges were dropped on April 27, but the NRL obtained footage of the alleged incident and proposed its own sanctions on Wednesday."

All things being equal, which 2 of these 4 would you bring in first this week?

- Crichton
- Jackson
- Robson
- Tedesco
